Sir von Lego

Hi there, the Venator won't have too much interior. I remember that there are a few spaces to hold weapons, a few seats. I didn't see the bridge. BTW, Palpatine's face is very ugly... We will get Palpatine, Clone Gunner, Clone Pilot, and the two Senats Clones.

Hi, no power functions, you can walk with the AT-ST by pushing a technic gear in tan (don't know why tan because the whole AT ST is in grey, perhaps it will change) in the back of the AT-ST. Yes, it does have a small interior, and chewbecca...so there is not too much space in there.. The bunker will include a commando place with three computers and a small place where you can hide weapons. The explosion function is really cool, they use the classic technic pring system small version. greetings Hendrik

I am so sorry but you weren't allowde to take pictures at the toyfair in the room of LEGO, so I don't have any pictures. But I got the retailers catalogue...but these pics in the catalogue are very prelim and not correct to the actual sets. greetings Hendrik

Echo Base: 26,99€ Tank Droid: 26,99€ Battle of Endor: 99,99€ Venator: 149,99€ Y-wing: 69,99€ Separatists Shuttle: 36,99€

Yes, it does have the stickers. And a small interior! You can open it on both sides at the front an at the back of the ship!

I forgot to tell: Leia has a new hair piece, the ewoks have printed faces and small decorations on the top of their heads. Han Solo will be the one from the existing sets MF 10179 and DS 10188. One more thing: it will definetely be Nute Gunray and not the other guy we speculated about. The "final" box designclearly says Nute Gunray. greetings Hendrik PS: The city sets AND Indiana Jones are just .....YEAH!!!!!!! nice!!

Hi, today I visited the german Toyfair in Nuernberg. I was quite excited when I entered the LEGO place, but confused when I saw only 50% of the announced new Star Wars Sets. I found out: R2D2 has different printings for Clone Wars Y-wing ("new" minifig), so we now have three versions of R2D2: the old one, the new one with grey head and the CW version The Y-wing will have the trans clear bubble (above Ahsoka as a cockpit) and the front cockpit will have yellow printings 8039 Venator will cost about 149,99€ and is an exclusive for Kaufhof in Germany (don't know who will get it in other countries) The Clones in the Tank Droid Set will both have a jetpack, new design The chrome black Darth Vader will be a giveaway for Kaufhof/ Toys R Us for Summer releases Nute Gunray will get a new mold for his headpiece Endor is just beautiful!! You can push the radar dishes on the top and all walls will "explode" and fall off. The AT-ST has a walking function and can turn his head. The Endor rebels will have excellent torsos with detailed printing. Also, they will get new molds for their helmets (with printed visor on the top). Thats it for Star Wars, all other sets weren't there.. greetings Hendrik

Hey Guys, here we are: Pics of the new sets 7749 Hoth echo base: Sorry I didn't read the last three sites and missed out that we already posted the pics and removed them... I think, they are just cool! greetings Hendrik

Hi @all, thanks for all the nice and useful feedback. I hope that I will present some new buildings for my layout soon...(-; greetings Hendrik

Hi, I doubt that the Endor Playset will cost 120€ as I read at the first page of this thread because at our Fanwelt Cologne 2008 we heard from TLC that it will be 99,99€/ 99,99$. I hope that it isn't a limited edition because it sounds really really great (why doesn't it include more minifigs???)! greetings Hendrik

As you can see in the following picture (I took it at the very beginning of my project. Thats why most of the walls still are in different colours) I took several hinges to get the right pitch of the roof. With this technique you can realise nearly all possible pitches of a roof "from the real world"... The 1x1 tiles are on a normal plate, most of them are 2x4...

Perhaps this works better: click here greetings Hendrik

Hi, I know that it is "a long time ago" since we had the fantastic event "LEGO Fanwelt 2008 Cologne" but I want to show now my layout for the event. You can fond more pictures in my BS file: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=351443 Please let me know what you think about this street. It is just the beginning of my project, my layout will grow and grow... greetings Hendrik

Hey, I want this set, too! (-;

Hi, it depends on when it will take place in may, but I hope to be there, too! greetings Hendrik

Hi, did anyone of you notice this Comic Con Star wars Set? http://cgi.ebay.com/2008-COMIC-CON-EXCLUSI...bayphotohosting It includes 7654, 7670 and 5 additional Clone Troopers!! Only 1200 were produced for the Comic Con in San Diego! greetings Hendrik

Hi, the 7111 Droid Fighter from E I was a set without any minifig, released in 1999... BTW, I really LOVE!! all these new sets... greetings Hendrik

Oh my god!!! This is a wonderful set! I really hope that we will see more Death Star Troopers in other sets soon! Great!! I cannot say how wonderful this set is! Finally a real playset and no other ship.. I read that the price will be 399 US $. Are you sure about this? The set seems to be big but 399$? I cannot wait for the release day.... greetings Hendrik

Hi, what a fantastic set!!!! In my opinion, for the huge piece count it is really "cheap". It includes nearly 500 pieces more than the town plan, but has the same price level!! Great!! Can't wait to get this! greetings Hendrik

Well, nice sets until now. he card in front of the V-19 says: release date: August. So I think that all these CW Sets will be released in August. The same time when the TRU exclusive sets should come out. So lets hope that we`ll get some more (and smaller) sets in June... The kids should have the chance to buy also cheap and small CW sets. Otherwise these line is only made for presents at christmas, but I don't believe that.. greetings Hendrik

Hach, really nice sets with nice new minifigs! It would be better for me to use the old style figs.. And I am still missing more Clone Troopers...))-; Otherwise the sets are really great. Now lets wait and see the piece count, price and release date (August?). And of course the 2 TRU exclusive sets are still missing..... greetings Hendrik

Hi, I found this picture on the official site from 1000steine.de: http://www.1000steine.com/brickset/images/10180-1.jpg It is a picture of the new set 10180 General Grievous Starfighter. greetings Hendrik

Hi, in my opinion this agents line is just another try to release an "Alpha Team" line. And it will fail as they did before. Why do we need an ugly wax too big notebook? We already have tiles with a screen and the "letterpad" (don't know the english word). This line is too <insert that tiresome argument> for me. They should have used the parts to make new city, great castle and wonderful star wars Sets... *sweet* Just my 2cts, we`ll have to wait for the final pics. greetings Hendrik

Hey, I wonder if it is just me who is a bit disappointed about the number of figs in the sets? TLC did in the last two years a really good job including tons of minifigs in small and bigger sets. But these sets seem to contain only the half of figs, I expected..Especially for the AT-TE I thought that it will include 8 or more figs! All sets still are great and I will get them all of course! One more point to critizise: the box art is just awful!!!! I hope that they will change them and create something totally different! The only good thing is that the box art includes and EII clone trooper helmet.. *sweet* greetings Hendrik
