    LEGO Star Wars 2016 Pictures and Rumors

    It seems to be a kind of speeder. I am not sure yet. It's very small. Look likes it has around 50 pieces. Because messing with the droid socket wasn't enough... More seriously. Sometime it looks like Lego is either making amazing sets (mostly) or bad sets. There is no middle. From what we see, the wave looks great except for: -Obi Wan Starfighter: no Cody phase 2, messed up droid socket, more stickers -Empire Battlepack: vehicle is ugly and 'crackheads' stormtroopers

    LEGO Star Wars 2016 Pictures and Rumors

    I don't know what they changed (and why) that makes the droid be only half in the socket on the jedi starfighter. I don't know how to feel about the Empire battlepack. The vehicle is weak. The troopers are really nice except for the crack on their helmets which is too close to the visor to safely remove it with whatever technique. This will be a cheap winter since I don't collect Ep VII sets. Waiting for pictures of the summer sets and the UCS Echo base.

    [MOC] Imperial Troop Transport (With two 75078 set)

    Thanks for sharing! It's really cool. I am thinking merging my 12 ITT into 6 of yours. Just a little question. Can you fit 2 stormtroopers inside (sitting) When I have time I will try to build yours and after that even maybe combining 3 or 4 BP together. Great work once again!

    LEGO Star Wars 2016 Pictures and Rumors

    Will Obi Wan starfighter finally gives us a phase 2 Cody? (If it is from episode III) Last chance! Edit: it says ROTS next to the starfighter so it is an episode III set
  10. Hello again everyone! Didn't plan on buying this set but I found it on sale and I needed a Sabine minifig. (Good reasons I know) You are probably all waiting for summer a wave reviews or some episode VII images but this set has not been reviewed yet. So here is my fourth review: Ezra's Speeder Bike! Name: Ezra's Speeder Bike Theme: Star Wars / Rebels Year: 2015 Pieces: 253 Minifigures: 3 Price: USA 19.99$, ENG 19.99£, CAN 24.99$, EUR 26.99€ Ressources: Brickset Lego store description Front of the box has the 2015 art: A Stormtrooper helmet tagged with a rebel alliance crest. Same as the other sets of the winter wave. On the back we see the play features and a little action scene. Inside the box there is 2 numbered bags, the instruction booklet and the sticker sheet. The instruction booklet has the same image as the box cover but without the set name and the number of pieces. The back of the booklet with the win minifigure. Spare parts. Some studs and some little piece in orange and green. Also we get 2 spare parts that could be used as guns. The completed model: both speeder are exactly the same except for the paint job. Front view Back view Side view The above picture has a bad quality so I added 2 more to show the side (see the next 2 pictures) Top view The front of the speeder can be extended to make it longer longer. Comparison shot: it does make it a little longer (approximately the same length has brick built front wing) Now on to the minifigures. We get 3 of them: Ezra Bridger, Sabine Wren and a Stormtrooper. Sabine is the same version as the one in the Assault Carrier and Era is the same as in the Phantom. The Stormtrooper is the same as every Stormtrooper in Rebels sets (including the BP). All the minifigs have leg printing. The stormtrooper has the normal clone face and Ezra and Sabine both have an alternate face. The printing on Sabine's hair is really neat. It has 2 colors like in the show. Back view: all the minifigures have back printing Rating ------ These three points are not included in final score. Price: 8/10 – 253 pieces for 19.99$ is under the 10 cents per piece ration. We get 2 nice never seen before speeder and 3 minifigure: Ezra, the main hero of Rebels. Sabine which is exclusive to this set (not anymore) and a Stormtrooper (We never have too much of these). There is not many big pieces but also very few small technic piece or studs. So the piece count is not inflated like we see in some other technic heavy sets. The price is great for a Star Wars set! Parts: 7.5/10 – Nice dark green parts which are not that common.Also most of the piece are bricks. Very few technics piece. This set is useful for spare parts. Build 8/10 – The build was surprising! It as 29 steps for 1 speeder bike. It took me longer to build this set then I anticipated because it has so many small steps. The build is well thought and fun. Since both speeder are the same, you have the same build twice. ------ Design 7.5/10 – The speeders look like the source material in the show. The green one is repainted by Ezra and the other Rebels and we see it in an episode (I don't remember which one). The white one is exactly like the Imperial one we see many time in the show. Still the studs shooter on the side don't look very good and are a little flimsy. They are not accurate since the canons are on the front of the speeder in the show. Also the front of the speeder doesn't always extend smoothly. Sometime one side will extend more then the other and the front will fall off. Also It could have come with a little trailer of stolen (or to be stolen) fruits like we saw in the show. Still the speeders are good and were bigger then I expected them to be. It is always nice to add diversity to your collection of speeder bikes! Minifigures: 6.5/10 – We get 3 minifigure. It's a good number for a set this set so no complaints here. We get a Stormtrooper with a clone face. It is always nice to have another trooper, unless you hate the Rebels version. It would have been better to have a pilot for the speeder bike rather then a Stormtrooper to be more show accurate. Ezra is the same as in the Phantom set so it still as the same problem of miscoloration of his hair and suit. (His hair should be blue and his suit darker) He does have is lightsaber this time. If you watch the show you won't find the choice of his hilt to be that bad. Sabine is exclusive to this set. (not anymore: she is available in the assault carrier) Her hair piece and suit are really nice but her skin coloration is wrong. She should have a darker tone like in the show where she is the same colors as a Latina or Polynesian. Also her helmet is not included in this set. The minifigure are a great selection for this set but they each have some little problems that will catch your eyes if you watch the show. Playability: 8.5/10 – Two speeders, one bad guy, one good guy and his 'crush'. Everything a kid needs to have fun. The speeders have studs shooter which are amazing for recreating chases seen in the TV show. Complement this with a few more Stormtroopers and you can occupy your little Jedi for hours! OVERALL 7.5/10 – A nice above average set that really came as a surprise for me as I did not intend to buy it at first. The speeders look like the ones in the show and offer a nice playability with the minifigures. Also it lets you get a helmet-less Sabine and Ezra (with lightsaber) for a low price. The stormtrooper is also nice but it should have been a speeder bike driver instead. A set to pick up to complete your Rebel crew and add to your speeder bike collection. A must if you like the show! Thoughts and critiques welcomes! Also if there is any grammar mistake burning your eyes, please PM me and I will edit. Thanks for reading!

    [75090] Review: Ezra's Speeder Bike

    I saw the 253 at Wal Mart, Target and TRU but the 267 only at the Lego store. I still dont see the difference between the 2. Thanks And we can fairly assume that Sabine got her hand on a speeder and painted it to her liking. Thank you! And yes it's a good starter but it is also essential to get the full crew unless you have the assault carrier Thank you for your words and adding the polls!

    Did anyone bought a minifig keychain and took of the chain and pin? How does it look? And is there any other problems other then not being able to take off the head? I wanted to buy a Darth Maul keychain to finaly have a minifig of him.

    [MOC] UCS Arc Republic Gunship

    Amazing work! I love it! Not only this is my favorite ship but the color scheme is awesome! Just a question: How many trooper can it carry?

    LEGO Star Wars 2015 Pictures and Rumors

    Regarding the Sith infiltrator: Pros: -Bigger and nicer -Less gap -Definitively sturdier Cons: -The speeder bike is just horrendous -Bad minifig selection -Dart Maul's smile -The price: 94.99$ US or probably around 120$ in Canada Is this a Lego store exclusive? If yes then I won't buy this as big set never get discounted on the shop@home here.

    I had one of my clone trooper who had a bad print on his helmet. I called and told them my problem and they sent me a new helmet with no proof of purchase required.

    Post your general LEGO Star Wars questions here

    It still available on the Canadian Shop at Home, Wal Mart and TRU webiste. I think the set sold well where it was the normal price (399,99) but other places like here (it's 499.99$ +15%) and country where lego is very expensive it did badly.

    REVIEW: 7141 Naboo Starfighter

    Awesome review! This was a really cool set when it was first released but I doesn't even compare to what we have today.

    LEGO Star Wars 2015 Pictures and Rumors

    WOW! I hope it's a mistake because 94$ US.... That is going to be close to at least 120$ (close to 140 with tax :sick: ) in Canada. I usualy buy sets in the States but CAD dollar is really weak and it's not worth it anymore. I have to pay those ridiculous canadian prices. I wanted this set but a this price... Price are really getting ridiculous and it should get worst with Ep VII. I wanted all the sets of this summer wave but I think I'll pass. It's a good time to bail out from buying Lego SW at the dawn of a new trilogy... Even if I had the money I won't buy a set with a price per piece so high. Sorry for the rant but I really wanted this set and it seems I won't be able to get it...

    LEGO Star Wars 2015 Pictures and Rumors

    I am pretty sure Echo Base was supposed to replace the Ewok Village (in term of price point, so 300$) With so many figs and a tautaun, wampa and many minifigs maybe the parts count will be closer to 2.5k then 3k. With a wampa cave, wampa(s ?), the shield generator, an ion canon, trenches and turrets, snowspeeders (1 or 2?), big blast doors and other bases component and tons of minis I can see this set reaching 300$. Waiting for official pictures but I think this is going to be my first UCS...

    Future Star Wars Sets

    Now the AFOLs were mostly raised with the OT. But in 10-15 year it will shift to the AFOLs raised with the PT and then even later those who were raised with the ST. But according to me the X-Wing and the Falcon ect. will still be all time favorites and they will still get more attention then any other ships.
  25. duboismerci

    LEGO Star Wars 2015 Pictures and Rumors

    So probably around 69.99$-79.99$ in the US
