Fives

I just realized something about the Hoth Han in this Hoth set! He has the new winter hood that is coming with the next series of collectable minifigs! Yay! He is (kinda) new!

Here is a link to the LEGO shop@home Germany page. All the sets are there in their proper categories. http://shop.lego.com/ByTheme/Department.aspx?d=322

If TLG got this license, and were able to do sets from all the previous films these heroes are in, this theme could become as big as Star Wars.

WOW! That set is awesome! It reminds of the Home One set, only done up for Hoth. Its awesome! I have noticed a couple of things that are interesting: The medic droid is in a light blue sort of colour, there is a rack with about four blasters, and I can se the Tauntaun reigns, but where is Han and the Tauntaun!

I agree with that list, but I have some more to add. TC-14, from the Trade Federation ship in Ep. 1 A tan Ewok Ponda Babba Bith band players And just more aliens in general.

Has anyone else noticed how on the box art all of the catapult rocks are being fired one right after the other? Thats one friggin fast ewok!

Firstly, this belongs in the pirates forum. And secondly, he is supposed to have the lines on his face. It makes it look like its fabric.

Finally, summer sets review season has started! Thanks for this great review! Overall, this set is ok. The tree is pretty much like a wooden hut. The speeder bike is that same as always. The figs, though, are amazing! Well, just the Ewoks. The scout is pretty boring. I wish they would improve his torso print. Logray is definitely one of this years best figs! He is so detailed! I'm probably gonna get this (along with all of the other sets from the main wave) because of the figs.

Ya, the Lobot thing was just sillyness. But, I do understand the connection between him and the Executor (ESB). I was just looking at soem pics of the new TPM Obi-Wan, and was rather upset with the fact that 1) he has no braid, and 2) he has a hood. I've been thinking of replacing the hood for some hair, but I'm not sure that his original hair is good enough. Does anyone have any ideas on what hairpiece might look good on him? EDIT: I'm now a EB Knight!

Ah, I guess I didn't notice that one. This is by far the best set of the wave!

Thanks for the pics of the figs! I really think that Lupin is the star of the set. He is just awesome! Its too bad that the Mirror of Erised is a sticker. Do you think you could include some pics of this set attached with all the parts from the Hogwarts Castle, not just the Great Hall and Gryfindorr tower?

Thanks for the review of this great set! It looks awesome attached to the other Hogwarts set. Do you think that you could take some more pics of the new figs, and in more detail?

I was wondering about that rumour of a new Jabba's Palace. Is that still around, or was it just bullocks? Are we getting the Executor instead of it?

The reason there are two Anakins on the poster is because one has hair. The one from the N-1 Has a proper hairpiece, while the one from the podracer only has the helmet. Therefore, TLG considers it a completely different fig. Its like the Mando discrepancy. The only reason there are two on the poster is because of accessories. The face will be the same.

Thank you for clearing this up! Personally, I think that they should have gone with this design instead of the one from the film. The fountain in the film looks very underwhelming. This would have made it seem worth the journey! I'm glad we got this as a set. It looks way better, I think.

Very nice work with fitting the shelf of ships in the cabin of the QAR. I saw the film too, and now I feel like these sets make way more sense. Nice work! If only the set was big enough to have the closet and the doors open to reveal the whole fleet of bottles.

All the Mandos are the exact same, the only reason one has a different title from the others is because of his weapon. They intend in the set for one of the Mandos to carry that big sniper rifle, so they called him a sniper Mando. The fig itself is no different, its just the weapon he has. Its like how on the Clone Walker BP they had that one plain clone with some armour and they called him a commander. He still is just a clone, he just had some different accessories than the other guys. There, that is cleared up... Now let's move on.

I doubt we would get any of this. But, I think that the ship that Padme uses to get to Mustafar is more likely. I know that it wouldn't be as awesome, but more likely. THe figs could be Obi-Wan with a new EP.3 design (new double-sided head, new hair), new Anakin/Vader (new double-sided head with one side good, one side evil with yellow eyes, new hair), pregnant Padme (hopefully not just a print), C-3PO and two microfigs (like the ones from the boardgames) done up like the twins.

I think its gonna be Tarkin. But seriously, why are we so excited about which one it is? Even if it is a named officer, they will most likely not make a new face for it. When they made Zev, his face was used for him and the Clone pilots, so it wasn't just for him, and when they did Veers, his face was the same as the BP Rebel troops. If he is Ozzel, they will just use that face that they used for that one rebel in the Hoth BP, only change the moustache from brown to grey. I'm more interested in if they redesign the Imp. Officer's torso, and if there is back printing.

I mentioned earlier the idea of the Ministry of Magic courtroom from the 7th book. It could have a new Umbridge, two dementors, Harry and Ron in their Polyjuice forms (with double sided heads), and maybe Hermione or Yaxley. Also, this sketch is just that, a sketch. It looks like they had the idea of doing this set, but then decided to go with something else (the new Hogwarts add on set?) instead. It reminds me of the picture of the prototype Yavin 4 base set from the SW visual dictionary.

Also, from the looks of that pic, there is (possibly) only one new fig in that set. It would be better if it had Draco in his black Death Eater suit. Also, did anyone else notice that Lucius, first of all, has a wand, and secondly, is fighting his wife? EDIT: I know that this isn't a 'I wish for' topic, but I just thought of another great set. If the theme continued and they did another set like the Diagon Alley set, they could make a big Grimauld place set! Figs could be Harry, Ron, Hermione, Sirius, Alastor, and maybe Tonks and Lupin.

Thanks a lot! I can't wait for reviews to start showing up for the rest of the sets.

How many reviews of the new sets are there on imperiumderstiene.com? I found the Republic Cruiser one, and it was pretty good. Odd that the hologram is of Darth Sidious, though... But anyway, does anyone think they could just put the links of the reviews on here all in one post?

I think, if they made another Gungan set, they should remake the Kaadu. When the first made them they were all orange. Now they could print it in a similar way as the gungans. Also, the Gungan Sub should be remade. As for EP. 3, we need a new Boga. Again, like the Kaadu, it should have some nice printing for the eyes and such. And I just remembered, what happened to that rumour about the Jabba's Palace set? It seems to have just fizzled away...

An advent calender would be great! Imagine a little wizard's chess board like the one that Harry and Ron play in the first film, with the trophy piece from the collectable minifig series as the chess pieces! I was also thinking, if they continued with this theme for maybe one more wave, it would be nice if they did a new version of Umbridge. I wish I had got the first version, but now by the standards of figs these day, they could do such a better one now! They could make the courtroom scene from the Deathly Hallows Part one. Minifigs could be Umbridge, with the locket printed on her torso, harry with a double sided head to look like the guy he used the polyjuice potion to become (I don't know his name), a couple of dementors with no hoods, and maybe Ron, with the same head idea as Harry. You would get the big chair that Umbridge sits in, the other chair, and maybe the elevator with a working door. It would make a cool set.
