Vader Posted March 9, 2006 Ahhhhhh i notice that mace dosent have a cape in these pics and that the lightsabre now looks purple unlike the light up one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xwingyoda Posted March 9, 2006 Yep and it seems that his tunique is light silver *wub* (or whatever the name of that colour is ;-) ). Now the ultimate question is: do I buy this set or just Mace's MF ??? Tough decision ;-) Now I think of a certain Kim and Morten who will have to buy this set :-P I wonder if they will release a Luminara normal fig now, that would be great !!!!!!!! *yoda* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vader Posted March 9, 2006 If you go to S@H and type in the set number for the clone tank you will see that the first pic isnt that of the light up version, in fact it looks like the new set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xwingyoda Posted March 9, 2006 It is actually *sweet* !!!! The only problem is that its sold out in France and the shops carry the old version still !!!! *yoda* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vader Posted March 9, 2006 Yeah its the same story over here, still im sure it will be out soon. Though i doubt ill get it as i would only want the new mace fig.........BS here i come again :-| Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kikuichimonji Posted March 9, 2006 Well, I still need to pick up a CTT anyway... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarg_Kulo Posted March 9, 2006 WOw, he looks really cool, I'm glad the lightsaber bblade is a different colour. I wonder if his torso is pearl grey *wub* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starwars4J Posted March 10, 2006 An extra clone? Excellent! I'm definitely gonna pick this up (I kept my original CTT together, as I do most SW sets, but this'll be a nice parts pack, and for figs ;-) ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xenologer Posted March 10, 2006 How does such a long tank make turns?.... skid steer seriously doesnt work when you're that long.... but I dont see a midbody hinge either... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
captaintau Posted March 10, 2006 How does such a long tank make turns?.... skid steer seriously doesnt work when you're that long.... but I dont see a midbody hinge either... The LEGO model has steerable front and rear pairs of wheels. Its turning circles are pretty wide. Looking at my Incredible Cross Sections book, it makes no mention of steering or mid-body pivot-points. BUT it does say that each wheel has three independently-geared sections. It seems logical and entirely plausible that it could use "tank" steering. IE to turn left, the left wheels will turn backwards and the right wheels forwards. The greater the speed on each flank of wheels, the smaller the turning circle. With three-sectioned wheels, control of turning would be amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cool, I like my Lego vehicles to have steering as for the 'real' one, tank steering is what I meant when I said 'skid steer' the problem with it is that when you're long and narrow like that, trying to do tank/skid steering puts a lot of stress on the front and rearmost wheels, because as you rotate in place they are basically dragging sideways along the circle.
