    LEGO Star Wars 2011 Pictures & Rumors

    Maybe you're getting confused with the names, but the Pelta was definitely not in Ambush, that was a Consular. And the Pelta's shape looks nothing like the blurred thing in the picture. This should show it - the Pelta has a bridge and is rather longish. BTW, the second blur is definitely a Geonosian fighter to me. Just look at it closely - the lower "wing" is covered by shadow, thus looking black.

    Great job brickbuilder! That really raises my hopes that we are getting a consular frigate. I just don't see how a medical frigate would be an interesting set - buy City sets if you want to play hospital The republic cruiser from 2007 is just a diplomatic ship, while the frigate is a warship. And its colors differ a lot from the cruiser's dark red. I still believe in a red clone from Ambush and Yoda. However, as hard as I tried I couldn't see something that remotely looks like a Jawa to me. And Owen's homestead? Please, that would be the lamest set possible (though maybe a nice brick collection). LSW is focussed on action. So if we get a homestead it will be covered with flick missiles.

    What if Yoda and the red clone belong to the rumored Republic Frigate? It is after all the ship that brings them to -insert name of the planet they're shot down over- in the TCW episode Ambush, so the context is given. That would be a cool set indeed - TLC should definitely do some new clone variations. And please, stop saying there will be a UCS Lobot.

    The big white/red thing could be a republic frigate, right? He said he has summer 2011 sets, not just those from the january wave. The size seems about right. The clone on the left is probably Cody. The only question is whether he actually belongs to one of the sets.

    This and nothing else is a Republic Frigate. Unlike the Pelta (which is called Medical Frigate) it has many appearances in TCW (13 episodes and the movie) and is a rather beautiful ship. So if this list is real, this is what we'll get. I'm hoping for a Yularen minifig, too, as his role in TCW is also not that small. (And we could always get new Jedi in big sets - this has often enough been the case in the past. Agen Kolar, Eeth Koth and Luminara Unduli (without stupid lightsaber) are due imo.)

    Just because these sets are in the same lists as the sets we already know about doesn't mean somebody just put them in there as a joke. Why should some Czech guy know about those sets months before everybody else normally does? I still don't buy it. Unlike the sets if they're real

    Rewatching the Clone Wars

    I did . It had Anakin at least, while there's no Jedi in Corruption, and it was the beginning of the Geonosis storyline which was awesome. Corruption only leads to more Mandalore episodes, has boring action and big logic errors. However, Senate Spy is still close. (Man, why are all the Padme episodes so bad?) We should make a ranking of the worst episodes as well as one of the best.

    Death Star wants a word with you. But you're absolutely right, these are no sets, they are wishes for minifig collections. How about an all-minifig-summer wave?

    Rewatching the Clone Wars

    Season three had a great start with two or three extremely good episodes, but by now we already had some extremely boring stuff. ARC Troopers was indeed one of the best episodes ever, however Corruption is probably the worst. But we still got a few season 2 reviews ahead of us first ;)

    LEGO Star Wars 2011 Pictures & Rumors

    Take into account that the guy who spoiled the list has 5 posts here, and claims to have the information from a Czech forum (which is hard to disprove for most people), and we can be sure this is not real. Btw, is there any chance we'll still see an exclusive set this year? I heard rumours about one for October/November.

    Rewatching the Clone Wars

    I had hoped season two would be more consistent than season 1 after seeing the great first episodes, but it's really about the same level. There are great episodes, good ones, and lame ones about the Senate or Mandalore. I do believe that they should stop doing episodes like that - the Mandalore trilogy in season two was bad enough, but it looks like we're getting another few Mandalore/Satine episodes in season three (haven't watched them yet). It's really hard to understand why they still think people like seeing senate debates. Bounty Hunters was a good example how an alternative episode should be done.
  12. Supersonic

    LEGO Star Wars 2011 Pictures & Rumors

    Agreed. Unlikely, but it would be cool indeed. Republic Frigate? I'm dying to see this. Geonosians? I never got the first fighters and they are a cool race indeed. As for a possible "The battle of..." line, we already had the "Battle of Endor" and it was a $100 set, so that's kinda impossible. But hey, it's just a wishlist anyway, so no need to get excited.

    Rewatching the Clone Wars

    A really nice episode, though definitely not 10/10 for me. The Ryloth trilogy were 10/10 episodes imo, but Bounty Hunters lacked a real threat as an opponent - yeah, a few farmers might get shot, but Hondo would never kill a Jedi. The Weequay are cool, without a doubt, but I still think commando droids/Ventress are better enemies. Sugi and Embo were cool, though. Anyway, it was a rather unusual episode, but it shows how good TCW can be without the titular clones and war.

    Future Star Wars Sets

    So true. The frigate is just awesome and the Republic Cruiser is nearly 4 years old. The Pantoran cruiser looks cool, but they'd rather do a Nebulon-B if they tried complicated structures like that ;)

    LEGO Star Wars 2011 Pictures & Rumors

    Obi-Wan's Eta-2 would be even better than Windu's. We've only had the blue one with the Hyperdrive Ring, but I'm still waiting for the dark red one from the Battle of Coruscant. (Ultimate Space Battle doesn't count, really, I never saw this set in a store.) By now, Delta 7-B's are kinda boring - I do hope the Eta appears in the third season of TCW, I don't want to wait any longer. (And we will have to wait for the next JSF anyway, we just had Plo's and now Windu's.)

    Rewatching the Clone Wars

    The way Yularen told Anakin that he thought Trench was already dead for a long time, I think it could be that he survived this time, too. Villains have the habit of escaping at the last moment in this show, and Trench was about the coolest we had (though I hated that clicking noise he made while talking ;)). Anyway, a very good episode, even if it's a bit confusing how many prequel episodes they have made by now. And I do want that special ops "TIE" pilot. Very cool looking.

    LEGO Star Wars 2011 Pictures & Rumors

    I don't think so, as all new sets in January 2011 have already appeared in TCW.
  18. Supersonic

    LEGO Star Wars 2011 Pictures & Rumors

    That would be awesome. Not only the good sort of JSF, but also for a quite good price? Yes please. If it's not TCW, we even might get a new Windu minifig I think TLG should know that we had enough Aethersprites lately, while the last Eta-2 was back in 2007. And as an exclusive set, it doesn't have to be TCW. Swamp Speeder was Ep.III, too.

    LEGO Star Wars 2011 Pictures & Rumors

    Space skeleton? Aren't battle droid arms called "space skeleton arms" in LDD? However, 303 parts for a JSF and 5 minifigs sounds weird. More likely the space skeleton will be some kind of spaceship. Well, at least this isn't too overpriced. I'll be buying it anyway, I love both kinds of JSFs and I still have no Mace Windu minifig.

    LEGO Star Wars 2011 Pictures & Rumors

    This would be extremely cool - but I don't believe they would sell a set like that for 39,99. Remember this is an Exclusive set, which are usually quite expensive; the first JSF with Hyperdrive Ring already cost 59,99€ in Europe. As far as I'm concerned, there are three options: a) The set only includes the JSF. In the case of an Eta-2 Actis, expensive but exciting; if it's an Aethersprite it's useless. b) It also includes some kind of opponent for Mace - no Slave I, I think ( ), more likely a Vulture Droid. This seems logical to me as Ahsoka's JSF was also sold at 39,99. The vulture droid would be included in the name of the set, but then again, we don't know the official name, so it's still possible. c) Whole thing's a fake. We only know it from one source which is not that well known to our informants. This would suck because I really like the idea of an ROTS Starfighter with a new Windu minifig

    Rewatching the Clone Wars

    Those few episodes after the Geonosian storyline really were the worst of the season. A whole episode without a single Jedi appearing seemed wrong and unsatisfactory to me; Padme is just not tough enough (regarding her PT character) to hunt down a murderer; also, her plea to stop producing clones is really stupid and never seems like the right thing to do. Good thing the next few episodes are way better. And one thing, though I'm about two months late: the Republic fleet in "Grievous Intrigue" consisted of Venators, Frigates and the Republic Light Cruiser, kind of a crossover between the two. It would definitely make an awesome lego set, so you should add that to your list.
