DraikNova Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) Sorry for the double post, but here are two pics showing the front of the Hive Crawler and the Galactic Titan respectively. The Hive Crawler looks just as good from the front, although I´m worried about how well the cockpit area is enclosed. Something to fix probably. The Galactic on the other hand seems to only have improved. It seems to have a `press here` pop-up double cannon and the cockpit is one of the best I´ve ever seen. I´m curious how the space ship attaches, as the other shows it being obscured. Or, and here´s my stroke of genius does the Titan have cockpits on both ends? Possible, seeing as the spaceship part seems able to seat two. If so, the humor value alone makes this my (second) favorite set of the year.

Algernon Posted February 4, 2013 The Galactic Titan looks like it could genuinely go toe-to-toe with legendary 7066. The Hive Crawler looks good - I wouldn't worry about the cockpit enclosure, since it seems that the demonstrator flipped them forward intentionally. They can still snap back into a more desirable position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraikNova Posted February 4, 2013 Yes, but in a pic where the cockpit is folded up, the cockpit still has quite a few gaps. The mini-scorpion-creature look very intimidating, by the way. What I'm wondering is why we haven't gotten pictures of the Crater Creeper yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SonofTheShire Posted February 4, 2013 What I'm wondering is why we haven't gotten pictures of the Crater Creeper yet. Me too. That's the one I really want to see... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jargo Posted February 5, 2013 I'm surprised no picture of the new blue team member has shown up. Aside from a glimpse in the back of Titan pictures on the minifigure display carousel or inside a purple pod. Hopefully more shots will come from NY Toyfair.

The NY toy fair usually comes with an explosion of pictures. I think we'll get a lot of good shots of the summer wave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraikNova Posted February 5, 2013 There are only three things we haven't seen pictures of yet: The red squad vehicles, the green squad one and the main vehicle of the Crater Creeper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jargo Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) The GS Wiki has a pic of the new blue team guy.

DraikNova Posted February 5, 2013 Seeing as my opinions about other themes have caverocketed, I'm going to be spending most practically all of my budget on Galaxy Squad. I might even get two Hive Crawlers. Or perhaps two Galactic Titans or two Vermin Vaporizers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jargo Posted February 5, 2013 My enthusiasm for other themes has waned. Besides City and CMF's, GS is what's tickling my pickle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Algernon Posted February 5, 2013 I think Chima and SW are looking alright, but I agree, Galaxy Squad's prospects are the most interesting. I was a little underwhelmed by wave 1, especially with higher price point sets. Wave 2 seems to be addressing that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jargo Posted February 5, 2013 My brother's partner's kids are into Lego. Isobel doesn't like girly stuff like Friends, She likes vehicles and machines so I'm getting her interested in GS before the August release here. Michael is into Star Wars but I think GS could appeal to him. At least the Titan will strike a chord with him. Isobel will probably also go for the aliens because of the colour scheme of their vehicles. Plus, I suspect she has the makings of an evil despot so yeah, the evil aliens will definitely suit her.

DraikNova Posted February 5, 2013 The GS wiki has clear pictures of the larva and the "armored" alien. It seems the armored type has four eyes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jargo Posted February 5, 2013 In that second pic of the larva I think he's done toilet on the table... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DraikNova Posted February 5, 2013 Seems like the mini-scorpion/larva has four red eyes. Does anyone know why there wasn´t more footage of the actual sets? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Rahl of Clannad Posted February 5, 2013 It's interesting that we are seeing a fair bit more of the minifigures than the actual sets from the Toy Fairs. Heck, we still haven't seen anything of one of the sets yet. Which bids the question: where was it at the Nuremberg Toy Fair? Why did no one get pictures of it? Hopefully we get more pictures of the sets at the New York Toy Fair when that comes around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jargo Posted February 5, 2013 Perhaps it's an American exclusive? It wasn't at the London or German shows because it won't be sold there? I don't know, just a guess. And just five days until NY Toyfair. Sunday 10th - Wednesday 13th. Space monocles for all! Or, you know... all the blues...

Hopefully we get more pictures of the sets at the New York Toy Fair when that comes around. It's probably a store exclusive. Those rarely get shown at the toy fairs, since one of the main purposes of toy fairs is to show off the year's toys to retailers who might want to carry them, and it does nobody any good to show off toys that they won't be able to carry at their own stores. Last year at New York Toy Fair, some store exclusives did get shown, specifically ones for licensed themes. It's possible we might see some non-licensed store exclusives at New York Toy Fair, such as the Crocs' Swamp Hideout in Legends of Chima (Chima is, after all, being presented as a pretty big deal), but I doubt a Galaxy Squad store exclusive would show up. Still, guess that's just something else to look forward to even after the major Toy Fairs are all wrapped up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DraikNova Posted February 6, 2013 Good point. It also looked a lot smaller than most exclusives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Algernon Posted February 6, 2013 Toy fairs are rarely comprehensive anyway. Galaxy Squad, like most Space themes, aren't really pushed too hard at these events. Especially with Chima and Star Wars hogging the limelight. Brick-built minifig busts, huge displays, .etc - what does GS get? A table. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
