    LEGO Star Wars 2018 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!

    Aethersprite replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars

    That's not a rumour anymore; it's pure speculation. Sigh. What has the fanbase come to...

    I see, that's helpful. I wonder what caused the colour change. Thanks!

    Marvel Superheroes 2018 - Set Discussion

    Aethersprite replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed

    That's extremely reasonable! I can't wait. Thanks for the info! Is the orange ship in the Thanos set confirmed to be the Milano, by the way? Or is it another ship of the same model as the Milano?

    Huh, I didn't realize that the SBD uses the same armour. That shoulder armour looked quite cloth-like to me. Maul's mechanism will definitely be interesting - the Technic parts suggest that it'll be quite different from K-2SO or the Praetorian Guard! Speaking of new molds, Maul and Han Solo both use a new collar piece as well, which looks like it integrates nicely with the conventional Star Wars torso armour piece.

    The 501st Clone with AT-RT and the SBD are Summer 2018 sets - I was asking about the Spring wave! Anyway, my question just got answered by the latest round of leaks. We're getting a Range Trooper with the Solo sets! Its helmet looks reminiscent of the Rogue One tank drivers - nice to see some thematic consistency there. The build looks very generic - couple of new cloth pieces aside. What's interesting is that it uses four of the Bionicle piston add-ons on its lower legs and feet. I wonder what the original design looks like to warrant the use of the add-ons. Hi-res pics of the Maul figure also leaked - looks like its upper arms have some custom Technic construction. It'll be interesting to see how its mechanism plays out.

    Do we know what figures we're getting in the Solo wave? Some sets leaked last week and we saw the Han Solo figure. We also know that we're getting Maul in the Spring wave. What's the last figure from Solo? Has that information been leaked yet?

    Oh man, a Droideka would be a dream come true. The standard human builds are getting really stale, so I'd be glad to see Lego branch out more into vehicles/funky droid designs like K-2SO or a possible Droideka.

    As a fan of Phase II clones and character+vehicle sets, the 501st Clone and AT-RT has got to be my most anticipated set for next year! I just hope that it's at an affordable price point. The Scout Trooper and Speeder Bike was quite decently priced.

    I think all the figures look great except for Thanos. Seriously, Lego? You couldn't spare a new mold for the biggest villain in the Marvel franchise? We better get an incredible new mold for Thanos in Avengers 4 to make up for this.

    Huh, Iron Man's new suit looks completely different from what we've seen in the trailers. It isn't outside the realm of possibility that he'd have two suits in the movie, though.

    I actually really like the Royal Talon Fighter, it has a really unique look to it. Although the shaping could have been a bit better - it looks like it's supposed to be wider from what we've seen in the trailers.

    Looks like the Royal Talon Fighter has a prison compartment - pretty neat! Maybe it can double as seating space for BP himself if Nakia is piloting.

    Future Marvel Superheroes Rumors & Speculation

    Aethersprite replied to Sir Gareth's topic in LEGO Licensed

    What is the open-eyed suit supposed to be? The Civil War suit but with open eyes? Ugh, the lack of leg printing really hurts these guys. I understand that there isn't much details on the legs, but even minimal printing (like Zod's legs) would go a long way to prevent them from looking so... plain. Thanks for the sneak peek by the way, agoodfella77!

    Aethersprite replied to Sir Gareth's topic in LEGO Licensed

    Anyone could say that...
  15. Aethersprite
    Sweet, thanks! That looks like a smaller wave than I expected.
  16. Aethersprite
    Thanks for the review! Do you have pictures of the instructions, i.e. the rest of the 2018 wave?

    Where did you find this exactly? EDIT: Found it. I thought that I'd pass on it since I have the original version... but dang. It does look good, albeit a bit more simplistic. How are these sets being released so early?

    Love it! The Doctor and Prosylitizer are my favourites.

    Yeah there're plenty of reviews of TLJ sets on YouTube. I guess user-produced reviews are in a bit of a grey area - "official" reviews by EB staff of yet-to-be-released sets could jeopardise EB's relationship with Lego, but the impact of reviews posted by regular users is a bit more unclear.
  20. Aethersprite
    I don't think EB has ever had a problem with users posting early reviews of yet-to-be-officially-released sets, but you should check with the mods to be safe. It doesn't make sense for such reviews to be disallowed, anyway.

    LEGO Star Wars 2017 Pictures and Rumors

    Aethersprite replied to Stash2Sixx's topic in LEGO Star Wars

    I just saw that video - opinions on the set aside, it's hard to gauge its size. I'm hoping for a comparison pic with the latest TIE Advanced or TIE Striker - I want to know if it fits in my display cabinet

    Cool! Could I request pictures (size comparison) of the TIE when you're done with the review?

    Action Figure Forum Discussion

    Aethersprite replied to Brickthing's topic in LEGO Action Figures

    I've been on EB for quite a long time and I've never come across this requirement. As long as the pictures and are organized well, I think that reviewing opened sets is fine! We've seen quite a few reviews of older Bionicle sets once in a while. Just take a look at some of the existing reviews for reference as to how to organize/format your review and what kind of pictures to include; VBBN's reviews are the gold standard IMO.

    Minifig selections don't usually make sense anyway. Hope to see the pic soon! Interesting that they'd manage to fit a gunship build into a BP, huh.

    Really hope it's CW Maul we're getting! TPM Maul would just give us boring old black legs; we've had countless of those already. Hopefully we'll get something in silver!
