My bad: http://furiousfanboys.com/2011/09/see-the-boba-fett-holiday-special-cartoon-on-blu-ray/ Try this

Skyhopper with Luke or a simple pilot = easy pass. Skyhopper with Bantha+Tusken Raider = instant buy. "Skyhoppers do not concern me....I want that Bantha, not excuses"

Holiday special: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xn5gsj_the-star-wars-holiday-special_shortfilms Found in a few seconds with Google..... As said: for the animated segment in good quality I advise to grab the BluRay set as it's an Easter Egg (see my previous post)

The animated part of the Special is an Easter Egg on the Star Wars BluRay set. http://furiousfanboys.com/2011/09/see-the-boba-fett-holiday-special-cartoon-on-blu-ray/

Rumor:

Picked up today: A-Wing 75003 B-WIng 75050 Y-WIng 9495

The hand of the baddie.......could it be this hand?

I posted pix of the helmet and concept art of Han Solo's new costumes in the Star Wars thread at this forum earlier today. http://www.eurobrick...c=22725&st=1550 The helmet is real btw. Here's some concept art of that:

Ford's new look

...and here's another one:

Here, the new Stormtrooper:

And looking at that as far as possible (thanks to the 3 and 7 minute clips from the series, all the newsitems, the books that have been released so far and the excerpt of the John Jackson Miller novel "New Dawn" I think the story will be just fine.

It's more than references.....REX and Lando Calrissian are in it; they used a LOT of RmcQ artwork/design; have a look at ': it's a near copy of the 'Here they come' scene from ANH; there are familiar vehicles/ships (the family speeder, TIE Fighters, the Troop Transport).......

There's also a pic of the Rebels version of this vehicle: I more and more get the feeling they're making this series not just for the kids (like CW) but also with the grown up fans from the OT in mind.

REX (from Star Tours) is in Rebels! As well as an Aqualish! (good for making a Lego Ponda Baba)

d***, there are many fantastic pix in this thread! What would be really cool (and I've thought about doing it myself.....but I'm not a great photographer) is to recreate the old vintage Kenner scenes in LEGO. Example: Maybe someone gets inspiration now?

Yup. I looked and the Rancor + Malakili + shipping would be no less than +- € 25. The complete set is +- € 55. Regarding the Sail Barge: I want the Weequay, Slave Leia, Ree-Yees and Max Rebo. I already own Jabba and R2. Bricklinking the 4 figs is almost half of the set itself.....but the Barge is more worth it than a simple (Rancor) cage. (which I won't use as it kinda f**** up Jabba's Palace imho. First things first: the A, B and Y Wing this month, and next month the Cantina + some BL figs.

As in: Rancor Pit - 2014 is the last year? (retiring in december 2014?). Still in doubt about this set....the Rancor itself looks great. Malakili is ok....but I don't need the rest of the set.

Ok fellow collectors: how long do you guys think Jabba's Sail Barge and The Rancor Pit will be vailable before they will be retired?

I've been collecting Star Wars stuff since 1983.....but only started recently with LEGO Star Wars. In the 80's I had +-85% of all the Kenner toys. I had all the action figures (yes, even Yak Face and the famous 'last 17'); only the Death Star Trooper and Bespin guard I were missing. The Falcon, X-,Y-,B-Wing, Ewok village.....you name it. Notable missing things: Landspeeder, Sandcrawler, Dewback (yes, stuff from the first movie). In the early 90's Star Wars was kinda 'dead'. No new movies, no books etc. The only thing was the West End Games RPG. That's when I sold almost all of my stuff. I had been collecting dust for years, some were 'played to death' with and no-one could have suspected it would 'rise from the grave' someday. I kept my complete comic collection plus some other stuff. Years later the special editions and prequels were announced plus I discovered Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy. Star Wars was back, and so were my collection habits. I mostly focused on 2 things: non-fiction books (I have -bar a few exceptions- a complete collection of those) and autographs. I worked as Anthony Daniels (C-3PO) assistant at conventions, interviewed 115+ people, got a personalised George Lucas signature....the only thing I kept away from were the Star Wars Toys. In a way, it felt like a blessing I sold my old toys, because I knew that when I'd still have them would have gotten all the prequel toys (and new OT toys) as well. My life would've been way different than it is now! (I would've gone in other directions...) Still, it kept bugging me over the years. Sure, I had a few toys (small Lego sets it fact) that were given to me over the years, but no real collection. Over the last few years I've been in LEGO stores in Disneyworld, Disneyland, London, Cologne.....and every time I stood there, looking at all those great sets. Not getting them. When I was at Celebration Europe last year I saw the presentation of 'Rebels'. I told myself that I'd get LEGO sets of just the main ships. I did. And 2 weeks later I got the 7965 Millennium Falcon as well. And the Skiff. Oh, and the Droid Escape set. a month later I got Jabba's Palace. 4 days later I had the X-Wing and TIE Fighter as well. THis saturday; I'll be picking up 3 of my favorite childhood ships: the A-, B- and Y-Wing. My collecting habits are mostly OT. I can't see myself getting PT or CW sets. Rebels looks great. The Ghost and Phantom have OT looks. My 'dream goal' is to have the LEGO version of every character, playset and vehicle I had when I was a kid. Currenty it's not possible as there are +-20 characters of which there was a Kenner toy but not a LEGO minifig (Klaatu, Ugnaught, 8D8, Sy Snootles, Walrusman.....to name a few) and the same goes for some ships/sets. Still, I now have the possibility to own ships etc I never had: I didn't have the rare Kenner skiff for instance. And the Death Star trooper that was missing? I have him now. Plus, it's great that there are minifigs of characters Kenner never made back then (Oola, Porkins, etc) (Sorry if this is a long story, but finally 'coming out' feels good!)

Correct; it's a Star Destroyer.

Leaked pix of the Episode 7 Falcon!!! http://www.mintinbox.net/Actus/14-08/1208SWVII_MFCockpit

Even though I have grey hairs: both. There was a time the very first versions were sold in every toystore...... Also, there will be a time The Ghost (the Rebels ship) won't be available anymore in stores and at Lego.com. According to your logic it doesn't make any sense to collect it now (it can be found on Lego.com and in a toystore)......but it does make sense to collect it when it's not to be found in stores????
