halomaster96 Posted January 14, 2009 I think they may put a trans-blue cone on Palpy's desk, and hopefully, yet doubtfully with a pattern on it showing a person, like Mace Windu, or a random Senator. Or like the piece in the ISD with a bunch of random stickers of people (extra sticker sheet ). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skyward72 Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) Looks like examples of the much talked about new packaging on Star Wars .com. I'm sure the new Lego packaging will be very similar right Penguin? http://www.starwars.com/vault/collecting/20090109.html Edited January 14, 2009 by Skyward72 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darth Legolas Posted January 14, 2009 I love the new box, it seems more Star Warsy than blue, plus I can imagine the new sets with the new box well! Though, seeing the Venator in a blue box would be cool, I like the change! Random and off topic from the box discussion: I wonder how they will make the new escape pod round. Unless, it's one of those side pieces of the similar four jets on the hyperdrive booster ring from the set from 2007. They'd work well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless, it's one of those side pieces of the similar four jets on the hyperdrive booster ring from the set from 2007. They'd work well. Aren't they the pieces that were used for the escape pod in the Millenium Falcon? I may be wrong, I don't have the set. EDIT: Yes, they are. Here is a reference pic. It looks quite small. Does anyone know how many figs can fit in it? Edited January 14, 2009 by ADHO15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ADHO15 Posted January 14, 2009 2, definitely. So it could and should be those two, plus the eta-2 front TIE-like cockpit piece, and four jets. Good idea. I think an escape pod will definitely be included but I doubt TLG will put that much thought into it to include a cockpit piece. I'd happily be proved wrong however!

Darth Legolas Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) Good idea. I think an escape pod will definitely be included but I doubt TLG will put that much thought into it to include a cockpit piece. I'd happily be proved wrong however! It'd fit perfectly... but again, enough utter speculation on the Venator. I'm sire there'll be a spinning turret on Anakin's Y-wing, and Ahsoka will have her bubble dome with the gunning-attachment, and just like on the new AAT, the rods shoot out as flick missiles. And the white engines will be the pieces they used in the escape pod in the republic gunship and the Twilight, and you can probably open them up and put the lightsabers in or something. Considering R7-A7 and the Death Star Droids all had the new style head, maybe this will be the second set with new style R2? As for the two jet troopers in the tank droid, I think it's be interesting to get a new piece like a detachable Boba Fett's jetpack, but we might also get a old pieces in a new design, sort of like that. But I hope they both have markings, so we can have a sergeant Denal. Base on the following picture, those are the jetpacks I expect, and I expect the box to have crystal city in the background just like in the AAT. Two scenes in one.

mammymarf Posted January 14, 2009 Oh God those are awesome! I like how the hoth set is like a battle pack the Endor set is fabulous! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Svelte Posted January 14, 2009 They're really going all-out with the figs, aren't they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pkp Posted January 14, 2009 These are "sure to buy" sets! :) Thanks for posting it. I probably will buy 2 of the Hoth sets, because I still don't have any Snowtroopers. The new ewoks looks awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Spielbrick Posted January 14, 2009 Excellent find, Morgan! Many, mnay thanks! The sets look even better than I hoped for. I gotta get me at least three Echo Bases! And that Endor set is pure brilliance! I've got the two "old" Ewoks, but these new furballs look utterly amazing. Much more detail! YAY: - Endor rebels - Endor Leia - same R2 as in Death Star (which was too expensive for me) - classic Han (which I still haven't got - shame on me) - gorgeous new Ewok paintjobs! - relatively cheap Hoth "battle pack" - snowtroopers (until now they only came in big expensive sets) - TAUNTAUN! Like everyone here, I knew these sets were coming. But man oh man, the surpass my wildest dreams - and then some! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SWMAN Posted January 14, 2009 WOW. Can we say amazing. I guess Lego feels guilty about being skimpy on OT sets in 2008, so they are making up for it with these amazing 2009 OT sets. Can we say AWESOME!!!!! Finally, Lego is getting back to more minifigs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morgan19 Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) Looking back at the beginning of the thread, there's this: 7749 Echo Base™Pieces: 155 Price: 37 EUR / ? USD / ? GBP Minifigs: 2 Snowtroopers, 2 Hoth Rebels, Tauntaun, Han Solo Release: Summer 2009 That's what, $50 USD? That doesn't seem right. Has the price been confirmed...? m19 Edited January 14, 2009 by Morgan19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TigerMoo Posted January 14, 2009 Looking back at the beginning of the thread, there's this:Has it been confirmed that it's really going to be that expensive...? m19 These new sets look amazing but I really thing TLG cheaped out on the hoth set!! 155pieces? I know that they could have designed something a little bit bigger and better!!! I am not complaining cause I will buy two of these but a bigger trench and some more figs would of course been way better thats all!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkrebellion Posted January 14, 2009 This look AWESOME , thanks for the pics Morgan19 . Now this are just so amazing to believe. The Hoth set looks very good and finally the totally new TAUN TAUN and the build looks somewhat simple but yet effective. Now on the big one, that Endor set looks tons better than I think it would look like. It looks very complete and the number of minifigs is just amazing for a set of it´s size. That AT-ST looks a lot better than the last one and we get a complete Bunker after all ! Also anyone has noted that Ewok Chief under the AT-ST leg? In my opinion the best minifig of the set . Yeah this looks like a promising year and the pics look really preliminary so maybe they change some issues (Like the orange wings of the Ewok Glider ). I am very, VERY happy. New Yub Yubs ON!!!!!!

Tinn-man Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) HOLY ****!!! These are awesome!!! The endor bunker is actually a base and not just a wall ! A huge AT-ST that is the best looking one yet!!! Two speeder bikes, two endor troops, and THREE EWOKS (one brown, one tan, and one grey). From what I can see, Leia looks amazing, and they put regular Han in a cheap(er) set. The hoth set is just as good. Two Snowtroopers and Two rebels, just .... wow. And we FINALLY get a TAUNTAUN!!! I'll probably get two of these. Classic Original Trilogy 2009 ON EDIT: I also see a new piece on the bottom on the Endor Base. Looks like a larger roof corner.

Motti Posted January 15, 2009 Ha! I knew Lego wouldn't let me down. Won't get Hoth, looks a bit lame (I have a right to my opinion!). Will definitely get a few Endor sets. I'm already planning to combine 2 bunkers together, since the back is most likely empty for interior play. WOO! Has anyone noticed that there is a circular logo on the sides of both boxes?! Perhaps it's a US-only promo event ---again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matteo Kenobi Posted January 15, 2009 I...I...LOVE THEM I will certainly pick up both of them, and I'll probably get two to three of Hoth sets to update my Echo base (MOC, not the crap set) I like the AT-ST in the Endor set, and I would like to see some closer picks of the bunker itself, but it appears that TLC has been generous with the Minifigs for once Thank you so much for the wonderful pictures, you made my day Can't wait for some ones with better resolution!
