Jedi-Bendu

Ok. I had a reply but I made a promise not to share the contents and the source. Sorry for that. What I can say is that I'll just believe what was said (that it will be a small set) and that I won't have great expectations.

It's Admiral Ackbar, who has the famous line "it's a trap". In this pic he's a policeofficer holding a device that calculates speed: a speed trap.

A good read regarding 'Force Friday' (september 4) at WalMart & some other things: http://makingstarwar...aunch-and-more/ Interesting quote:

2 pages back: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=111762&st=100#entry2286502 Could be an insider.....or not. I've asked what his source is....awaiting a reply!

I agree he's a key character in that scene, but he's also a key character (even more) in the gantry duel scene. IF there will be more Bespin sets it would make sense if they spread all the characters over these sets. Having Lando/Vader/Han/etc pop in in multiple sets isn't very logical. (having Bespin guards, stormtroopers, ugnaughts in multipe sets does make sense though). So, IF Lego decide to release a set with the gantry they must include Luke & Vader (besides them no-one is in that scene). That's why I don't think they'll include Vader in the Carbon set. My bet: -Carbon set: Han, Lando, Ugnaught x2 -2 future sets: Cloud Car (Bespin guard, pilot, Lobot) and a Cloud City set (Luke, Vader, Leia (bespin gown), stormie)

Why does everyone think Luke & Vader will be included in the Bespin set instead of Lando, Ugnaughts etc etc? Sure, the duel started in the carbon freeze chamber; but it's more likely they'll be included in a Bespin gantry set (the 'I am your father' moment). Otherwise we'll get duplicate figs in Bespin sets. Also, Vader in a set that's rumored to be small (and thus cheap)? Nah. Don't believe it.

as far as I know we don't know anything regarding prices...except the rumored price of the Bespin set I posted. Microfighters and BPs will have the same price as always I guess.

Point Break (1991) A movie I've seen a few times (although the last time must have been 15+ years ago). Still perfect and it brought back some memories. Unbelievable that later this year a remake will be released.

Or Jar Jar's great adventure for Episode II

Exactly. Still, 25 GBP = really small. I'd rather have a set which is the same size as Final Duel. If the Jabba path is being taken other Bespin sets could be a Cloud Car and a set with the gantry and a couple of small rooms.

DId I miss something? Hall of Mirrors? A Podracer?

From another forum: No reply (yet) to the question what his source is, and no idea if it's a genuine insider.

Regarding the january 2016 wave: Am I correct that there won't be sets in this wave that are over 100 euros/dollars as winter waves are cheaper? (In other words: no more than 1000 pieces) And that all the non-microfighter/battlepack sets will have prices/brickcounts similar to this years winter wave?

Couldn't agree more, The stuff (not just LEGO) that's coming out over the next 5/6 months is amazing. I had to cancel non-Star Wars merchandise orders since I want so much of the new Lego/books/etc releases!

Regarding the new sets: It all depends on the figs whether I'll get them. My bet: AT-DP (AT-DP pilot) Ghost (Kanan or Ezra) TIE advanced proto (Inquisitor or a pilot) If the Inquisitor is included it's a must have. For some reason though I can't see them include him since it would hurt the sales of the system scale version. Wookiee gunship (Kanan or a Wookiee). Want both. The Transport will most likely have new aliens (new headmolds?) and Maz. The other set is maybe based on Will get both. I really don't know....I'll decide when I see them. Easy passes. Ok, the Jedi Interceptor is an wasy pass (I don't collect PT). Droid Escape: I have the last one.....so this one needs to have something like a Bantha (but I have a felling a Jawa will be included; there's also one in the advent calendar; maybe that's a sign?) Bespin: Must have. Hope Lando and Ugnaughts are included. Hoth: Not excited.....but maybe it will surprise me! Since there are no prices mentioned it's hard to budget these.....also because depending on the figs the Microfighters could cost me anything from 0 to 60.

There are people spending top $ on eBay....for the minifigs of Captain Phasma, snowtroopers etc.....they pay a price that will almost get them the entire set these figs are in.

I'd love to see an OT TIE Advanced. Still, I think it's unlikely we'll get one in the winter wave. The TIE Adcanced prototype was released less than 7 months ago, and in september we'll get the new TIE Fighter from TFA. Having 3 different TIE's at the same time is something TLG doesn't want. Maybe when the TIE Advanced prototype retires?

Not an official LEGO product....but it was in the LEGO section along with LEGO storage stuff:

Looks like its coming to Dimensions? http://www.mintinbox.net/Actus/15-07/2707LEGODimension_StarWars

Thats right!

Asphalt Jungle?

The sets and figs that have leaked so far are great. As said: I'll get them 'Whitney Houston style' (All at Once ) The only negative thing for me is that there are no aliens with unique new headmolds. I was hoping for Maz Kanata and her goons. Hopefully we'll get them in the january 2016 wave. Then, there's this minifig. The printing is minimal. Even 30+ year old figs have more interesting printing. And that helmet. WTF? How can he see in that thing? And why the fleshie head? A black one would.ve been so much better. The worst SW minifig ever. (even though I guess we shouldn't blame LEGO.....but the Lucasfilm artist who came up with this idea (In case this is an exact copy of the movie helmet)

Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (followed by Empire Strikes Back and A New Hope.....Raiders of the Lost Ark is #4 on my list)
