Tidy

but unfortunately they left his hair from ep3, and should have used a different one if truly representing rogue one era ... no fear, it is lego afterall and if you want a better more accurate bail, the percival graves [hp cmf] black with graying temples matches perfectly ... and of course throw on some batman dual molded legs for boots ... one of these years lego will start adding dual molded boots to the star wars line so i can stop doing it myself ...

well. not everything. lol. ;-]

fwiw: the leia fig does have legs and skirt, so whoever said that would be cool earlier is the winner winner chicken dinner.

star wars show is streaming it on youtube.

the lego panel starts at 130p chicago time. slow your roll.

i thought it was tomorrow, but could been wrong ... haven't paid much attention tbh, as i have no interest in it ... i half expect it to be talked about at tomorrow's panel ...

fwiw, this tantive is around 2 feet long ... (60 some centimeters for the rest of you) ... can't find length for old one ...

it is both the celebration exclusive and a target red card holder online exclusive.

leia 100% has a new printed skirt. nothing to indicate legs in addition. *** lego: we should do away with labels on d2c to prevent customer backlash about what is or isn't part of that label ... afols: hold my beer.

oh yeah ... lol

stud shooters and spring missiles!!!!!!!! good thing this is not UCS or the collective community would blow a gasket.

welp. there it is ...

lots of sources. beyond that, friday is perfect as it is the large lego star wars panel at celebration. tomorrow at celebration is basically photo ops and autographs. nothing big happens. friday. that is what i have been told. take it for what it is worth.

only sith deal in absolutes. and there's a first time for everything. and this has come from A LOT of different sources now. so. //shrug

truth ... [and it usually does] the biggest take away is that it will be announced friday at celebration and i wouldn't be shocked if images surfaced before that ... however, for this one, i hope that it is a complete surprise when they announce it ...

from what i gather, there is no label ... just a normal average system set ... albeit larger than most ... then again, the last tantive was not a UCS either ... just called anniversary edition ... i was kinda hoping that this would carry the 20th anniversary packaging ...

Enough, I get the point!

the non-UCS, non-MBS, non-20th anniversary set 75244 will be revealed friday at star wars celebration. it is now confirmed to be a tantive iv ... [not that that should shock anyone] ...

.

as much as i was hoping for kylo's shuttle to be a remade upsilon in the right colour and with fully articulated wings, it is nice to see that quite possibly JJ isn't going full TFA rehash ... [my wallet is 'who' really was hoping, as i have a big black beauty with fully articulating and folding wings] ...

to elaborate, these fakes were pulled from an instagram post last friday that was so full of isht that it was coming out its ears ... it said the y-wing was set 75247 ... which if you pay attention to anything LSW, you know that was the 4+ a-wing from january ... and there were so many other force ghost solo-esque things in the expanded list ...

to quote the great Saw, LIES! DECEPTION!

well now ... that kinda puts the final nail in the may ucs rumour coffin doesn't it ...

awesome, i stand corrected!

what a great litmus test!!!! there will be 2-3 ties already on the shelf when ep 9 sets hit in october ... any fancy new tie for ep9 might be too much of a spoiler and comes out in 2020 ... [pssst, there's no tie on the first wave for ep9] ... //shrug imho, those piece counts are suspect at best right now.
