Pirate Pete Posted February 12, 2009 Probs just a hoax And guys be patient, good things come in time Lando: Hello Admiral Ack- Admiral Ackbar: IT'S A TRAP! Admiral Ackbar throws Lando off the cruiser. Now we can do that in LEGO FORM. HUZZAH! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ADHO15 Posted February 12, 2009 Do you think there will be a small interior right under the Venator bridge or in it? Possibly. There was beneath the bridge of the Victory, wasn't there? (I didn't get it so I'm not certain) It looks like a large area to be just used for structure. Lando: Hello Admiral Ack-Admiral Ackbar: IT'S A TRAP! Admiral Ackbar throws Lando off the cruiser.

Tinn-man Posted February 12, 2009 If the MF is a Endor like version than it wont have a Luke in it... I don't care if it makes sense, I just want a new luke in a set under $400. Heck, throw him in the Seperatist Shuttle, I don't care . (Plus, lego has been known do make some weird figure choices now and then). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pirate Pete Posted February 12, 2009 Okay, first observation: This set looks incredible. A fantastic set of new mini-figs, and I love seeing a green-toned A-Wing fighter. The holo-Death Star looks interesting. Admiral Ackbar, Lando and General Madine all look great. Mon Mothma is a bonus I did not expect. I'm surprised that none of the big 3 heroes are included in this set, esp. Luke since he was left out of the Endor set.Couple of questions, though. Does it look to anybody else, like there are gaping holes in the floor underneath the holo-Death Star? And what purpose do you think the long rods extending from the landing platform towards foreground of the picture have (the speech bubble from the Mon Calamari mechanic is partially covering it)? I think I've figured out why the long rods are there. Maybe it's so you can place the A-Wing on them, give it a little push-er-roo, and it looks like it's flying! Or they will be replaced in the actual set. Remember, this is just preliminary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bricks Posted February 12, 2009 (edited) A few days away and we get some new pictures Mon-Calamari-''Cruiser'': If you look at just the set you think a LEGO Designer must go home and didn't finished the project. Just a few technik parts, but the minifigures make me buying that set. They are so awesome. Venator interior: I think this is a really nice room.

pr0visorak Posted February 12, 2009 As said I love the venator and am definetly going to buy it but I will only get the cruiser for the special figures! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Legolas Posted February 12, 2009 There's a wall between Palpatine's office and the end of the ship. I wonder what that little triangle is for.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Commander Flash Posted February 12, 2009 I bet theres a way to enlarge/ empty out the venator so i in nicer. The Home one does look nifty. Lando: How was that pizza last night? Admiral Ackbar: ITS A TRAP! Lando: calm down. Ackbar: Sorry, just a reaction. That would be a funny scene Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clone OPatra Posted February 12, 2009 Just an observation. I think LEGO likes putting sticking out mystery features in cool and special sets. In last year's Death Star, it was that handle on the side that people wondered about for ages. Now in the Home One, it is that long technic piece. It adds to the drama and the discussion about the sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iH Master 13uilder17 Posted February 12, 2009 im not sure if this was said or not, but the venator says senator palpatine while it's supposed to be supreme chancellor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SWMAN Posted February 12, 2009 im not sure if this was said or not, but the venator says senator palpatine while it's supposed to be supreme chancellor. Please remember people, these are preliminary. If you look at the clone trooper, it has an old torso and a black head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CommanderCody77 Posted February 12, 2009 Is that Dark green or standard green on the A-Wing? Its Dark Green on the front I think, and has a little lighter dark green at the back where the engines are Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Natman8000 Posted February 12, 2009 A what?And where? Just a stinky bionicle piece. Its the red ball in the conference room. It least its not a sticker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OptimusPrime12380 Posted February 12, 2009 I hope we see another OT UCS set in 2009, it's the only line of Star Wars LEGO I collect. As far as I know, 2008 didn't have a UCS release. I'd love to see a UCS Slave 1 or Imperial Shuttle done before the license runs out. Also on the want list of UCS sets would be an A-Wing, B-Wing, or Tie Fighter.

Derek Posted February 13, 2009 A sticker on that spherical piece would be pretty finicky to put on. I think I almost had an OCD attack (such a thing?) just THINKING about doing that... The Mon Calamari set is quite nice, and may get it if it isn't too expensive. I seriously rather sets like this as opposed to large ships. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Millacol88 Posted February 13, 2009 (edited) I think I almost had an OCD attack (such a thing?) just THINKING about doing that... As did I. Stickers are hard enough to put on, much less on spheres... I hope they replace that ugly Bionicle piece with a new mold. By the way, when does the US toy fair take place? It seems our most likely venue to get pictures of the mid-scale falcon. That sets still shrouded in mystery. Edited February 13, 2009 by Millacol88 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hewman Posted February 13, 2009 The long technic piece under the a-wing platform might be like in the bat cave, so rather than being a way to launch the ship, it may be a way of rotating the ship around on the platform. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
