JimBee Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) er... i only see white helmets? Yeah, me too... While I believe the part about Ashoka's fighter, the chrome helmet is hard to accept to be real, considering it's very hard to find any chrome pieces in the last few years. Chrome lightsabers only appear in the limited edition sets, and that's about it. So, it would make little sense for TLG to make a chrome clone helmet. Plus, it would look very out of place with the other troopers. Edited October 13, 2008 by JimButcher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simonjedi Posted October 13, 2008 It might just be the accessories pack (kharma, headlights antenna) that i guess will be included with it. I remember that the gunner/pilot has grey arms, maybe that could be it or a chrome printing on a helmet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As much as I would like to see a pink fighter for Ahsoka, as well as a Tri droid (I missed out on that one) I think this seems a little too good to be true. I doubt any 8 year old boys would be interested in a pink ship with a girl pilot. I still remain hopeful... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simonjedi Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) unsurprising about the pink starfighter, i'd prefer it was purple. As much as i respect what R2-KT stands for, in the movie the droid was just too IMO "easter eggy" to be made into a real minifig. HOWEVER, if for every sale of ahsoka's fighter, a donation is made to the make a wish foundation, i'd gladly buy a few.

Derek Posted October 13, 2008 Really pink is actually quite a popular color for elementary boys now As much as that frightens me, I have too agree with you. unsurprising about the pink starfighter, i'd prefer it was purple.As much as i respect what R2-KT stands for, in the movie the droid was just too IMO "easter eggy" to be made into a real minifig. HOWEVER, if for every sale of ahsoka's fighter, a donation is made to the make a wish foundation, i'd gladly buy a few. Remember a few months ago TLC said they were discontinuing purple... I agree, a few people of my family and friends of the family have been helped by Make a Wish. That is a fantastic idea! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Navy Trooper Fenson Posted October 13, 2008 er... i only see white helmets? Take a look at this. It might just be the accessories pack that i guess will be included with it. Really? Pink JSF? I thought a dark red one for the orange skinned Alien would be a joke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slimninj4 Posted October 13, 2008 That still does not look chrome to me. Looks like gold colored paint on the helmet. Take a look at this. Really? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He might have seen a chrome helmet, but maybe it was a special mold, or he just thought it was chrome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skipper 24 Posted October 13, 2008 I think it is just painted yellow like the standard one which is a little shiny anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clonecommando007 Posted October 13, 2008 Wow! A chromed helmet! Gold chrome or Silver Chrome? I see Gold on the Gunners helmet but no silver. Gold chrome would be totally awesome! A pink Asoka starfighter? Exotic to say the least. It will no doubt be a great collectors item and will be a rather...interesting switch up to the line! I'm personally not interested though. Tri Droid too? This sounds great! Too bad you didn't get pictures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justin2224 Posted October 13, 2008 Since the Tri Droid comes with the fighter, I imagine tha it will be a Tri Fighter. I also really hope that it's pink, and so is the droid, because that would really stand out in my collection. 2009 is gonna be sweet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkrebellion Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) Tomorrow will start Legoworld and I think someone said we are supposed to get pics of a new set (I think this Ahsoka set is by far the most possible ) so lets see. Anyone is going to attend Legoworld? EDIT: Sorry for my mistake, Legoworld will start the 16th but well I am not less curious too know which set we will know.

Matteo Kenobi Posted October 14, 2008 Legoworld, hmm that sounds...LegoTastic! Well I'm sure someone from EB will be covering it so we should at least get some bigger better pictures of '09 sets, Ahsokas fighter would be a good guess on what we will be seeing, but who knows honestly...time reveals all things.

Rayman Posted October 14, 2008 Yeah, me too... While I believe the part about Ashoka's fighter, the chrome helmet is hard to accept to be real, considering it's very hard to find any chrome pieces in the last few years. Chrome lightsabers only appear in the limited edition sets, and that's about it. So, it would make little sense for TLG to make a chrome clone helmet. Plus, it would look very out of place with the other troopers. True, if the special helmet were to be silver it would have to be a metallic colour print at most. I personally think that the helmet's got dark grey markings to match the colour of the gunner's arms. Should be exciting to see what's around the corner.

Lord Santos Posted October 14, 2008 When I said pink, I meant rouge, and to me chrome is sort of a gold paint with sparkles, and I saw the helmet being made, so I'm being honest, are we OK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trooperdavinfelth Posted October 14, 2008 OK, I'm going to be blunt on this 'issue', and as much as I want the chrome helmet: Pictures or it didn't happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bricks0937 Posted October 14, 2008 You can see the chrome/gold print on the picture we have of the battlepack. And if we get new pics of Ahsokas fighter than we will most likely see Dookus Solar Sailor as well because they are coming out at the same time. And about the pink, I saw more dark red than pink.

Wait, you saw? You saw it on the tour(?) too? More info? Pictures? A real believeable story? If you know about it, stop feeding us bits and pieces guys! Give us exactly what you saw in full detail.
