    As in the post just above yours, the instructions are on Rebrickable.

    Looks like the UCSv2 to me.

    Freemaker Adventures got 5 sets. Yoda Chronicles got 2. This animation is getting how many, 3? X/Tie, Dark Falcon, Jedi Bob?

    No pictures of Jedi Bob's starfighter in there, unfortunately. The Dark Falcon in the trailer is a recolored UCS v2, not the upcoming playset. There are some pretty good pics of the new X-wing and TIE fighter in the configuration of TIE cockpit ball + X-wings. It looks to me like they kept the main components of the 2021 models (TIE cockpit, X-wings) with as few modifications as possible, and grafted them together as simply as possible. To me, that makes the X-wing less interesting than I hoped it would be, although we've already seen that its fuselage is pretty different than the 2021 version. I can't tell how the wings of the new version stay open. They appear to be hinged on Technic axles, not click hinges, but I can't see any mechanical jacks or elastic bands to keep them open.

    If we're getting pictures of the ISD now, I hope pictures of the Dark Falcon, Jedi Bob starfighter, Onyx Cinder, and X-wing/TIE fighter two-pack are coming soon.

    I didn't make an account until 2017(?), but I was reading Eurobricks as far back as 2004. I clearly remember reading a Eurobricks review of the 7256 Jedi Starfighter and Vulture Droid from the 2005 RotS wave on a school computer during tech class and getting a snide remark from the teacher! Edit - that's funny, I pretty clearly remember it being a Eurobricks review but I can't find it in the review archive.

    I guess it really just comes down to the hat with the downturned brim instead of the upturned brim, and the lack of dual-molded legs. Saying "I'll skip the City version" is really just an excuse to not spend ten bucks or thirty bucks on a little City set when my wanted list is overstuffed with much larger sets from a variety of themes.

    I'm glad I got the CMF Johnny Thunder. I'll skip the City version.

    Yeah, I dunno. Probably nobody. It's probably not worth the effort.

    Ok. End of discussion.

    I reply because this is a subject that you've beaten to death and I'm sure that if we took a poll, most forum users would not be obsessing over the detailed lore of these sets because they say "City" on the box. I'm curious what the deep motivations of your soul are that won't let you move past the "City" label on the box like everyone else does. Does it? Do they?
  13. icm
    Honest question, danth, why does this matter so much to you? Forget the lore. There is no lore. There's builds in the box. That's what matters.

    Conversely, my interest just shot up. I don't have an ISD and I think the playscale ISD from 2014 was really good.
  15. icm
    Just swap the heads!

    True that! (I actually haven't sold any of my Lego before, this is new for me.) Looks like the figure in the mech doesn't have arm printing or dual-molded boots? Maybe I can pass on that set then. I have one or two extra plain-vanilla pilot Lukes in my loose minifigs.
  17. icm
    I think I'll probably buy the microfighter and the mech, sell the builds and keep the figures.

    I looked up more about the rover deployment and it looks like the set is correct about what equipment was added to the chassis after it had already unfolded. That makes me feel better about it.
  19. icm
    I've already got the Arocs and the Volvo wheeled excavator, so this set is superfluous to me - but dang does it look good! What's the parts count, price, and release date?
  20. icm
    This looks pretty good. I'm glad it can fold up - that is the one feature it absolutely HAD to have. Of course it also has steering and suspension. I don't know if those equipment blocks were stored separately in the real rover though - I thought the astronauts unfolded the chassis and it was ready to drive. I can see how those great big wheels and wheel guards would drive up the price well above 10c ppp, so I'm glad to learrn that RRP is $220 US, not $240. Still, I can't help but feel like at that price they should have included a fabric element for the high-gain antenna instead of just leaving it as unconnected spokes. I mean, the spokes are just the support structure for the antenna - the mesh that would be represented as fabric in Lego was the antenna itself.

    The Milano is amazing. I plan to get it half-price no-figs as soon as I can. (I already have the GotG2 versions of everyone except Drax, and everyone knows you don't really need a Drax minifig because he's mastered the art of staying so still that he's completely invisible.) The Age of Ultron diorama is one of the rare diorama sets that looks like a great playset too. It has an amazing minifigure selection, a nice little jeep, and good scenery. The Leviathan is still kind of small, but it's a good size for play. I'm sure if this set sells well there will be a larger Leviathan in a few years.

    Amazing! I supported it on Ideas as soon as I saw it. Thanks for posting a picture of the internals too, that'll make it so much easier to reverse engineer if I ever decide to build it myself.
  23. icm
    Thanks for those screenshots. I'd be content with another Red 5, but it'll be great to have an X-wing for Carson Teva too. All the better if it means more people buy the set.

    I'm with Lion King in that the City label doesn't bother me at all.
  25. icm
    Just let danth do his danth thing. Nothing's going to change his mind on this. It's the hill that he'll die on. I'm with Lion King here.
