this AT-TEwalker is better than the first one, since this ones got bigger legs and no speeder bike, cause the speeder bike has to be with the gunship. *yoda* *vader* *y*

Good find on those Pics, I've been searching around and according to Wikipedia ( *wacko* not brilliantly reliable) the 2008 AT-TE will contain two Clone Troppers (EP3), Two Shocktroopers and 1 Star Corps Trooper, don't know if this is the truth of course...

Indeed its not reliable and I hope its far from the truth :-P

We don't need any more Shocktroopers and Star Corps Troopers !! WE had enough of these !! Apart from regular Troopers (no special markings)n we want novelty !!

*yoda*

Tks for the pics ;-)

If you compare with TLC's proto, it xclearly shows that we need to add more dark red to the wings ;-)

Now that you point it out, it does need red... Really easy MOD to do, though.

he probably means the atte due to the siluhets (SP?)

Its the only logical explenation :-P

But once again for the xth time, these are preliminary sets and everything can change !! G repeating myself tends to piss me off lately |-/

And it isn't TLC that ever would include 6 times the same MF, especially since TLC included a Blackhole trooper in the stormie MF BP ;-)

I started collecting right after the AT-TE and RGS went off of sotre shelves. I am excited to think that I could add them now and not have to pay 3-4x the MSRP.

Nice find, but where's the Republic Gunship?

Be patient, it's coming soon ;-)

This new sets are really beautiful, and I will want to see the pilot of the V-19 ! Is it a normal clone as in the first AT-TE ?

Wow, these look great! The AT-TE looks very similar to the first one except with better legs and they fixed the front canopy.

Looking good!

These do look great. The new AT-TE also has its upper turret moved back, and the dishes used on the feet make them stronger and more accurate to the design. While I loved the original, this set seems to improve on the flaws of its predecessor, minus the hopefully well-hidden projectile launcher. I like the blue STAP, too; it's a neat design in its own right.

The Magna-Guard fighter looks sinister with that sloped canopy. I've always been partial to the P-38 and its inspirations. Funny, this design, according to the Art of ROTS book, was originally intended to be an Utupau fighter, and the Magna-Guards themselves were early concepts for Gen. Grievous. I don't recall the MGs having ships, as they always traveled in the company of Grievous. Still, the set captures the look of the concept art very well, and succeeds in looking better, IMHO, by widening the fuselage and using the sloped piece to good effect.

I've hoped that TLC would make a version of the Torrent ever since I watched Clone Wars, and I'm pretty happy with the result. I wish it resembled the Clone Wars version more in terms of cockpit position and windscreen shape, but it's cool as is, and can always be modded. Sorta off topic, does anyone know if the Torrent appears in any of the licensed art books, as I have the Ep I and Ep III books only, and I've not seen it anywhere but the show. Just curious, as I always like comparing the sets to their original designs.

BTW, in the ROTS art book, the AT-PT from the 08 lineup is on the opposite page facing the Utupau(Magna-Guard) Fighter concept. If TLC is using these books to choose sets to produce, I hope they make a tank droid concept( see the UCS MOC by Neutronbot..excellent), a Droid Dropship(see ACPin's MOC...the guy's very talented), and one or both of Ryan Church's "crab" droid concepts( listed in the book as Droid Concept 06 and Droid Soldier Concept, respectively.) Pics of the Soldier concept can be found on Google, and was produced as a toy by Hasbro under the name "Crab Droid". I couldn't find any pics of the "06 concept", but if anyone has the book it's at the top of pg 21. Cheers!

I really wonder how TLC will tackle the Magna Guards, I'm hoping for a body like on GG but some new arms and a new head! The inclusion of capes and an Electro Staff would be great! Can't wait to see wait TLC will give us! 8-
