Emperor

Well, either TLG has seriously failed or it is very preliminary... At least you can't see the flick fires. I hope that you can open the circle section in the middle of the falcon, if not that would be quite some space wasted for nothing. The possibilities to MOD the falcon are endless, though.

Tomo from imperiumdersteine.de provided this pic: I hope it is okay to post the pic instead of just the link here as there is no preliminary stamp...

Really difficult decision... I like all of them, but all in all, I think Logray is the best one. The details are fantastic and he is available in a cheap set; second and third come the new Clones, their printing is beautiful but they only come in an expensive set and they aren't anything new besides the print. Logray got a new mold, after all

Well, unless the three mini/micro sets we already know are spread among all 15 "doors" (9 are for the figs ) there are a lot of things yet to come; I don't think they would make 15 mini sets, so maybe there will be things like a small walker or some sort of speeder, which could be useful... Bigger mini modells needing several "doors" would be nice as well.

I think the helmet could be white because it is going to have new printing, just like the white Aayla or the green Geonosian. There are quite a few different helmets to be seen in the OT, so maybe this pilot is a character which hasen't been released sofar? By the way, all credit for the pic of the calendar goes to Navy Trooper Fenson, he was the one who found it.

It's from the OT - he looks exactly like Zev Senesca except for the white helmet. Here is a link to the picture from imperiumdersteine.de: http://imperiumdersteine.de/album.php?albumid=3147&pictureid=59057 There is also a micro tie fighter, between the Slave 1 and the gunship.

The new figs are simply amazing. It's the best summer ever, quite expensive of course, but absolutely worth it. I'm especially relieved that the Geonosian isn't green; the dark tan is so awesome!

Why would the Freeco Anakin and the Talz be in a magnet set? 8085 isn't that expensive, after all. I had hoped we would get really good figs for the magnet sets; since they are glued, TLG has to make them attractive somehow... The Boba key chain is great, I always loved this fig, but never wanted to spend 90 € just for Boba Am I right that the Toy Fair in Nuremberg started today? Do we usually get pictures from there and if so, how long does it take for them to appear?

Well, I hope it will be more expensive than 250 €/$, as the last exlusive set in that price range contained just 1700 pieces; to create a proper Cloud City which can match the Death Star you need at least 3000 pieces. I think it is very probable that we get this set, last years second UCS was quite disappointing, to me it looks like TLG wasn't able to finish the UCS Cloud City set in time so they had to come up with a replacement as soon as possilbe, therefore the Starfighter wasn't as good as UCS sets used to be(Imp Shuttle and DS were amazing, after all). The fact that the DS won't be produced so much longer makes it quite probable that TLG wants to replace the set with somethin equally awesome

Don't you ever listen to KimT? If it's in the first post, it is true The 155 pieces of the Geonosian Starfighter are very disappointing, but I guess two completetly new molds must be expensive

Those minifigs would be awesome I think they have to include a Tauntaun, it was a completely new mold and they only used it in one small set; as this set isn't available any more, this set would be the perfect way for FOLs to get more tauntauns and the only way for smaller children who have just begun collecting LEGO; the Tauntaun is such an iconic creature, it will make the set much more attractive. I don't think there will be an AT-AT in the set, the last standalone AT-AT was expensive enough on it's own; I think there will be another Snowspeeder (this time with Luke's markings) and a big building, just like the Endor bunker but bigger and with several rooms. An AT-ST is possible too, but I don't think it will be included as you can barely see it in the movie...

1. The newest iPod Touch has a camera. 2. The only thing that's fantastic about the iPhone is not the camera but the beautiful light the display offers: "Then had a bit of a ureka moment!- you prob wont believe it but i actually use my I-pod touch to light pretty much all my indoor shots. Remembered there was a torch application you could download for it which just gives out a nice adjustable and clean light." (I quoted smokebelch, click here to read the whole post). Great shots everybody, I especially like your "walk the sunny side" shot, fenris!

Looks great sofar! The plates capture the shape of the cockpit very nicely, I can't wait for this to be finished! I don't know if it's any help for you, but here is an UCS version of the NU-class RAS tomo from imperiumdersteine.de made: http://imperiumdersteine.de/album.php?albumid=247&pictureid=3212

After several months of just reading reviews, I guess it's time to learn how to write them; I would very much like to become a member of the academy

Well, if you're using something like photoshop you could just save your zoomed-in image and then post it on flickr. The ewok attack would be much more interesting of the "generic" ewok was black, but I still think it's Pabloo, the site where all the sets are explained probably has the same pics as we do, so they could be wrong too. People who don't have the Battle of Endor would like to get Pabloo, so I guess that's what TLG is going to give us. E: I don't think the Qui-Gon fig is redesigned, at least I can't make out his name in the "New!" box.

The pic as well as the source is already known, why do you link it again?

About half of the people writing in this topic told everyone it would be a Consular ;) Anyway, obviously the new catalogue exists, so I guess it won't take too long until we get prelim pics of all the sets.

Awesome! Thanks for the pic; it's a pity the one who took the pic didn't take better pics of the SW sets. Anyways, great news!

Yep, a droid arm and 2 of these piece. A cloak for Luminara would have been nice, but I'm quite happy to finally get her anyway

A German online store has a better pic of the packaging: Nothing new, but you can see the overall shape of the Starfighter better. There is a slightly bigger pic of the contents as well:

Thanks for the pics, great find! The astromech and the TD are amazing, it's a pity they ruined the Starfighter The BfG is perfect, 2 more or less exclusive figs and a wonderful way to increase my droid army.

Great job, General Magma! That would be a perfect "real" set...

Absolutely! The youtube reviews are good, but good old pics are better, especially when you want to see all the details. The shuttle is a pass for me; the color is awful, dark red would have been perfect, but TLG had to ruin this set

No, Rex just got a normal black ARF equipment like the one the Clone Walker Battle Pack contains; this includes a black antenna, so that is why he looks different. The head is still the same.

Great review! The set is great as well, although 30 Euro is too much. Did you get any other 2011 sets? I'd love to see more reviews from you!
