Had a browse through Galactic Hunter's TF pics - I believe this is the first shot of the new Han Solo from Jabba's Palace

You're right. My mistake.

I got a bad feeling Talzin won't be making it out of this episode alive.

New mold.

The green packaging is a nice change from all the blue and black we're used to seeing, but I think Yoda should've been saved for ESB's release and have Jango used instead.

Its interesting going back to read the posts here and seeing what ended up becoming a reality. That said its time to update my wishlist - be warned I'm not holding back!

Any sightings of the Jedi Interceptor set yet?

Its a shame there's not many shots of Qui-Gon or Obi-Wan. I noticed both come with different facial expressions compared to last year and it would've been interesting to see if they had double sided heads as well.

I'm curious as to whether the other Rohirim figure is just a random soldier or another named character like Hama or Gamling. Too bad the set is blocking the names on the box

Licensed figures have always shared faces. Remember Luke and TPM Obi-Wan back in the day? Classic Leia and Mon Mothma? More recently there's Bruce Wayne and Superman, Snape and Admiral Piett, Indiana Jones as a brittish soldier and Endor trooper... and don't get me started on the old Bruce Wayne face...

Love the green astromech droid in Saesee Tinn's starfighter

I think you got the basic rooms down, although I suggest releasing Cloud City and the Cloud Car as seperate sets. Maybe instead of one being an exclusive they could both be released in the same wave like what Jabba's Palace and the Desert Skiff are doing this year? My suggestions for minifigs: Cloud City Luke Bespin Leia (red gown) Han Carbonite Han Lando Darth Vader Boba Fett Stormtrooper Cloud Car Bespin Escape Leia (white jumpsuit) Chewbacca Lobot Bespin Guard

Love the new Gungan Sub. It looks much sleeker than the original and Queen Amidala is one of the best figures to date. I'm a bit disapointed Obi-Wan is using the classic male hair again instead of a new Padawan hairpiece. If they weren't going to bother with a new mold then what was the point of giving us a hooded version in the podrace set? Desert Skiff looks OK for now. Need to wait for more detailed pics. Boba Fett looks nice though, and I'm hoping this new designed Jedi Luke opens the doors to a Death Star II version down the road. Jabba's Palace keeps looking better and better!

Lego has really been nailing the playsets lately. This new palace is fantastic along with the figures! I'm so glad Jabba has finally been given some articulation around the head/waist. Can't wait to see close ups of the others - especially Leia and Oola. Only downside so far is the trapdoor. It looks like they're using the canvas material used for sails and capes. I hope I'm wrong though and its just a stickered piece.

Minas Morgul is also another option. 3 more Nazgul on horses can easily be included along with Frodo, Sam and Gollum.

With both Hans being listed as new figures in the prelim Jabba's Palace pic, does anyone think he may be next in line for a new hairpiece? I can't think of any other reason Lego would revisit the Carbonite mold so soon, plus the classic male hairpiece seems to be getting phased out in all the other themes.

Yay for Padme! I don't care if it is Clone Wars style I'm just glad she's finally getting some attention instead of being absent for another 12 years. I wonder if she's getting a new hairpiece or will just reuse the one from the Tatooine fig?

Helms Deep and Shelob look fantastic! Its just a shame it looks like we won't be getting variations of Aragorn and Frodo in the first wave.

The Boromir fig turned out phenomenal! Love the dark red/dark blue color scheme. Also noticed this poster displays him and Aragorn with their alternate face expressions. I think I'll be displaying him this way - makes him look less like Theoden. Aragorn looks pretty good, although I agree the colors of his outfit are a bit off. I'm still hoping figure in the Helms Deep set will come with a different costume design to this one. Not much to say on the others. The whole fellowship looks fantastic so far. I think Merry turned out the best of the four hobbits. Gandalf does look a little odd without hair but I'd expect that will change when Lego gets round to the inevitable Balrog set. Really satisfied with how the Uruk Hai and orcs turned out. Also nice to see Lego seperating the Mordor orcs from the Moria ones. Gollum... eh? It will take some time getting used too. Not a bit fan of the Clone Wars anime eyes he has. The Ringwraiths are as expected. Too bad there's no pictures of the finished Cave Troll, Haldir or the Rohirim. I understand the quiver but why not the cape? Long hair isn't a problem for the new Princess Leia in the Y-Wing set.

Has there been any news on when the Naboo Fighter is going to hit retail?

There's always the chance a new Ahsoka will come in Pre Viszla's fighter. Can't wait to see how Padme turns out. I really liked her "adventure" outfit from TCW, although I'm curious whether she'll be getting a new hairpiece or just reuse the Tatooine Padme one. Don't forget the possibility of future expansions to Jabba's Palace like the rancor chamber and dungeon.

Lego Aragorn's face looks perfect!

I'm not arguing against more Ringwraiths, I just think a small set based on the chase scene alone is a little shallow. I mean what are we building here exactly? A tree made up of 8 pieces? Its a glorified battlepack and I think most would rather be army building orcs and uruk hai than Nazgul. I think its better to space them out in the larger sets. Weathertop already has 2 Nazgul out the way. Rivendell can easily have another 2 Nazgul and still include Arwen, Elrond, Bilbo and 1-2 Fellowship characters. The 4 other lesser Nazgul can be thrown into a number of sets from Bree, Baradur, Minas Morgul, Osgiliath etc Thats 8 of the 9 taken care off which only leaves the Witch-King, who will most likely appear in a set based on his confrontation with Eowyn (a much more iconic scene than Arwen's chase)
