There’s a TIE coming soon for Solo, if that’s what you mean

Just brickbuild one - it doesn’t really matter if it isn’t a perfect dome. All I’d recommend though is perhaps not trying @All in the Reflexes’s version, as nice as it is, because of the ribbed dome appearance you’d be left with.

Anyone else disappointed by the fact that the front and sides of the Y-Wing aren’t as flat and pancake-y as the real thing?

What I’d give for a Venator Star Destroyer

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just pronounced like Zeus

The difference in size is nowhere near large enough to warrant different tyres. It’s a waste of Lego’s resources

It’s the same canopy piece as in the Rogue One Y-Wing so it will be printed

Yeah I can believe that. Even if it isn’t exact it seems close enough from the prelim images

It’d be a hyperspace jump to the face more like. Constraction would be fine if it weren’t for the Disney tax.

Aww man I hope the Porg isn’t the replacement for the Clone Wars CCBS sets - that would suck hard for us prequel lovers

Forest harvesters have more or less identical appearances though, so it would be hard to make a case for Lego copying any designs.

It definitely is inspired by the Ponsse, but even then they still decided to stick the cab all the way at the front for some dumb reason. I’m all for modern Technic designs, but they need to have the right proportions.

What I don’t get is why they didn’t follow a design more like in reality, with a single armed boom and a rotatable cabin over the articulated pivot, and the arm turntable in the middle of the front axles - it would have looked SO much better than what we’re gonna get. Something like a Logset 8H GTE

I hope this doesn’t mean constraction as a Star Wars subtheme isn’t getting canned Was really looking forward to the AT-RT

Thank the prequel gods I’ll be able to still get that AT-RT

Were there no descriptions for the 501st AT-RT and the Super Battle Droid? :(

To answer briefly, we know nothing.

Is that sprung pendular suspension?

God if it had a pendular axle I would rejoice.

If the A model has an engine, then the B model will likely look like a regular dumper but in the same vein as a Case IH autonomous tractor (everything normal but no driver compartment)

Lol I think you might because I nearly fell for it

I mean, @Timoonn is entitled to his opinion. With 42081, I agree that it does look like it might be a bit boring from a functional standpoint, but that’s to be expected. It’s a front loader - they really only do one thing. Although for me the appearance really saves it, since we haven’t had a futuristic vehicle before. I’m just happy that we’re not getting standard cars and trucks and instead heavy machinery.

Oh is that not in it? I just kinda assumed it was. That is a bit disappointing /:

To each their own I guess. What were the last three 2H sets you were happy with?

Why not? It’s a bit unorthodox I’ll admit, but some forklifts do have a single hydraulic telescope in the centre.
