I´m really hoping it´s one of the upcoming TFA sets, however... Hoth Bricks has posted the Lego SDCC schedule and stated that it´s a possibility they will only officially reveal the Sith Infiltrator (correct me if I´m wrong, my French isn´t that good). That would be a disappointment.

Not exactly. The 2014 mould of the snow trooper was specifically designed for the OT Imperial storm trooper. I'm a huge fan of the 2014 snow trooper (and commander) and I think the new mould looks much better than the old one. As for The Force Awakens...

I'm sorry to ask, but where do the Echo Base rumors come from (apart from a redesigned rebel in the advent calendar)? I've seen a lot of people talking about it, but what's the source? It doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to release an expensive set like the Echo Base right after the TFA wave. My guess is the focus will be mainly on selling those (relatively large) TFA sets during the hype before the movie.

Yeah, I know. Customs duty and the Dutch VAT are a pain in the a**. But still... with the prices mentioned it will still save me money.

If the prices Arrowbricks posted are correct (I fear they will be since I live in the Netherland and Lego is incredibly expensive compared to other EU countries), I will propbably try to get my sets from the USA. Here's why: - For now I'm interested in buying the Snowspeeder, the Imperial Transport, the Command Shuttle and the Falcon - Total costs in the Netherlands: €464 ($520 at current rate) - Total costs in te USA: $300 - $300 is roughly €265 at the current rate, that's a €200 difference So I'll have to spend some money on shipping, but it will still save me a lot of money.

Looking at my collection I realized how badly I want a new redesigned AT-ST with some scout troopers on speeder bikes. The last AT-ST is from 2009 (Battle of Endor) and the latest scout troopers from 2013 (Ewok village) are terrible in my opinion. The white on black leg printing looks awful compared to the black on white torso printing. I also really want a redesigned Bossk. It should have leg printing, more detailed torso printing and a olive-green head.

I think we're on the same page here. I also think it is the stormtrooper transport (as seen in the first teaser), but my guess is that it's the same ship as the one I mentioned (with the 4 diagonal engines). We haven't seen the front of that ship, but it is possible it features a "entrance hatch" on the front like we saw in the teaser.

I strongly agree with Nocturne and Jedi-Bundu. The only big difference I see between the ship on the instruction manual and the ship from the poster art is the lower part of the wing. But that part will probably fold/slide in when in flight mode. So we've now seen 75104 (Lead Villian Vehicle). I'm guessing 75101 (Villian Star Craft) is a Tie-fighter, 75102 (Hero Starfighter) is the new X-wing and 75015 (Hero Vehicle) is the Falcon. Then we have 75103 (Villian Transport). I think this is the ship with the 4 diagonal ion-engines we've seen twice in the second trailer. Once flying along the new shuttle and once in the hangar scene. Leaving the two smallest sets: 75099 (Lead Hero Craft) and 75100 (Villian Craft). I have absolutely no idea what they could be. But I'm really curious to see 75100. I'm hoping it's a cheaper sets that also contains Kylo. One other thing: most of us have seen Captain Phasma in the second trailer. Which color do you guys think the mini-fig will be? Really chrome or flat silver/silver metallic?

Not surprising: The Brick Show, The Brick Fan and Brickset have removed their news/image/video about the leaked TFA sets.

@ Jedi-Bendu Thanks! I will! Also found it on a few Dutch BrickLink shops for about about €90 (including shipping)

What the... Shuttle Tydirium will retail in the Netherlands for €130 (source: bol.com). That's just over $140 . Thank god for BrickLink.

I just did a small comparison with similar sized sets that are out now and I think I was €10 off with my first guess. The Tydirium will probably retail here for €110 (it has almost the same amount of pieces as the Ghost which also retails for €110). I probably won't buy the Final Duel set. It will retail here for probably €90. Too much for a play set with just 5 minifigs (only 2 new/unique to this set) and just a few great parts.

Definitely going to get the Tydirium, although it is kind of expensive here in the Netherlands (probably retails around €120, which is around $136). But the shuttle is one of my favorite ships and the size/details of the set are fantastic in my opinion. However, I've got one really small remark when it comes to the minifigs. Look at the rebel with the blond beard (second from the right). Why did they make the shadow below his mustache this dark? It kind of looks like a strange shaped mouth now.

I've been reading this topic for a few weeks now and I thought it was time to start contributing :) What do you guys think are the chances of seeing the first images of the TFA sets before June? Lego will publish their new catalog on June 1st and I would be surprised if it didn't contain the new TFA sets. In comparison: the Age of Ultron sets were released in April, but we already saw the first images in December. Right before the "January - June" catalog was released, which contained info and images of the Age of Ultron set.
