I'm still going with Episode II C3PO. Doesn't look shiny enough for the droid right at the start of ANH (forget it's number) or E-3PO.

New K-3PO fig from echo base...

...or Wuher!

I would love for Snoke to be Plagueis, and don't see it as a cheesy tie in to the PT that some do (remember this is a universe where Vader built 3PO, and every Clone Trooper is Boba Fett's twin...) I bet your more casual Star Wars fan can't even remember him from one reference in ROTS. - Snokes musical score was sufficiently similar to the Mon Cal opera when Palpatine told the story. - Darth Plagueis The Wise, I'm sure Kylo dropped in a couple of times in TFA about how wise Snoke is. I just like the idea that this guy is the mastermind behind everything, proper super villain territory, not just some chancer who popped up to take advantage when Palpatine threw a seven into the reactor core. Remember ROTS didn't even set Plagueis up as Palpatines master, Palpatine never actually admitted he was the apprentice who killed his master.

Also if you look at it that way the grey 3PO is next to a brown Gonk and what looks like Lars homestead, could it be EP1 3PO? Also if you look at it that way the grey 3PO is next to a brown Gonk and what looks like Lars homestead, could it be EP1 3PO?

Can't believe the video cut out just as they got to all the new minifigs!

Good call. Forgot about him. http://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/EpII3po.jpg

Of course E-3PO would fit nicely with the Bespin guy. Interesting that they've neglected TFA again, I assumed this set would be loaded with stuff from the new films. Although I guess it will be a little out of date by next Christmas as the focus will be on Rogue One and Episode 8. Apparently that is an exclusive Episode 8 Chewbacca. The shock of Han's death meant he aged terribly between episode 7 and episode 8.

Advent calendar gives us ANOTHER hoth rebel & stormtrooper same as this year, and snowtrooper then? C-3PO looks to be the same 'chrome' as Phasma, so not bright chrome. I can also see Imperial navy guy and Bespin security man. Clue towards another new Bespin set soon?

Pretty sure Unkar is shooting at Rey, and as people suggested he appears to be built the same way as Chewie or a Gamorean Guard. Good spot on the lightsaber, that suggests an Inquisitor will be involved.

Erm, not sure that is allowed here? You might want to consider joining out this facebook group though?: https://www.facebook...arWarsAddicted/

Just seen a photo from one of the shows on Facebook. TIE advanced looks fantastic, and it certainly looks like Tarkin in a tan outfit, with Vader, Sabine and a new pilot with a recolour of the A-wing pilot helmet. Turbo tank looks small? Grey and white x wing looks spot on, and has a little build similar to a moisture vaporator, plus flame trooper, Poe BB8 and Lor San Tekka. Luggabeast appears to be mostly light blue, and his set has a market scene similar size to Takodana, plus Unkar, Rey, BB8 and Teedo. No extra thug by the looks of it. AT-TE looks a right mishmash as expected, not for me.

Certainly the last one was very much 'themed' i hadn't spotted it in the earlier ones. Chrome C-3PO sounds too good to be true!

I love the small backdrops you've done for each set, you can clearly see what you've gone for (Tantive, Death Star, Tatooine, Cantina, Hoth etc) and captured the essence of the location with a few small bricks. Very nice.

Concept art showed the Quad Jumper parked under Rey's fallen at-at. I had assumed that was her ship.

Haha, oh yeah, hadn't spotted that at all! ;)

Jakku? Pretty sure Jakku ain't represented in Rogue One?

Yeah i think the sets are pretty comprehensive, aside from the obvious exceptions Luke and Snoke, who will be explored more later i'm sure. Buying all the sets would result in a pretty comprehensive First Order and Resistance army, even if the 'neutrals' are under-represented, we still got Tasu and his mate, Unkar and his thugs, Teedo and Maz.

One of the guys in there looks suspiciously like a blurred Dengar to me so who knows!

That looks much better than what we got!

Yes this, I was wondering what it reminded me of! Definitely looks like a souped up Grievous Starfighter (which in itself never really looked 'Star Warsy' to me)

Yes I was starting to come round to this way of thinking.

I'm still favoring the two sets being from the Aftermath books. The figures seem to be too close a match.

He has a light brown shirt under the jacket, too dissimilar to Poe's black Stormie undersuit to go unchecked (I've been trying to MOC him!), would be really cheap to reuse the torso. I'm really hoping we get his alternate helmet too,

Yeah I've not read the book that this sounds like the most believable explanation so far and all the figures seem to fit too. Would make sense for the black ship to be an antagonist from the same era?
