The B-Wing looks great! I can't wait to see pics of the A-Wing, V-Wing and TIE Interceptor. Slave I and the Ultimate Space Battle sets I'm unsure about getting since I already own the Jedi Starfighter & Vulture droid set plus both Boba's original version as well as Jango's. Nice to see R4 has the right coloured dome this time.

I have been pretty busy lately so I haven't had the time to reply but I'm loving the new Sandcrawler. With the exception of R5-D4 all the figures look great and the Sandcrawler itself looks very detailed with lots of playability. My only concern is how stable the set is. Cyclonis it should be up for Australia on S@H in the next month or so, but since last year Australia has been getting the S@H exclusive sets at retailers such as Cloud City, UCS Snowspeeder and the TIE Fighter Collection and at great prices too (I got the TIE Collection for AU$97 at Toyworld last month, the RRP being $150)

I saw it last night and I loved it! Hayden was much better in this one, Ian and Ewan were brillient like always but I'm still not buying Natalie Portman as Padme. I thought she was good as the Queen in Episode 1, but the rest of the time she just didn't seem to pull of the role as well as she could.

"To Protect You" was the only one I didn't like due to the poor dialogue, but it will probally sound a lot better in the movie since the words will probally seem less random.

LOTR for me, though I would love to see Star Wars continue on as well.

Here's a better pic from Galactic Hunter: http://www.galactichunter.com/absoluteig/g...3_005%20009.jpg

Don't forget the new one looks like a peice of junk just like the real Falcon, while the original looks a lot like a plastic hamburger.

Call me crazy but the shape of the Clone Swamp Speeder reminds me a lot of the AAT.

I'd love to see minifgures of Kit Fitso, Shaak Ti and Ki-Adi-Mundi. I wouldn't mind seeing one of Adi-Gallia/Stas Allie since I've been a fan of them since I first played Jedi Starfighter and Jedi Power Battles on the Playstation.

IGN's review is now up. Here's the link: http://ps2.ign.com/articles/599/599286p1.h....html?fromint=1

Thanks for the help guys! :)

Has anyone bought the General Grievous set yet? I'm tosing up whether to buy that or the Clone Scout Walker and was wondering how good the set is.

Thanks for posting pics Darth Ewok. :)

Here's a new video on the AOTC part of the game: http://media.g4tv.com/video/G4_Cinematech_...s_EpisodeII.wmv

Here it is:

If the rumours of a Star Wars television series are true I can see Lego renewing the SW license.

I voted no. The shipping price for Australia is too expensive plus a lot of the S@H exclusives are usually released at K-Mart the following year at a cheaper price.

In response to OOM-30's post in the other thread, the minifigures are the Wookie Warrior, Episode 1 Padme, Chancellor Palpatine, Count Dooku and Episode 2 Padme.

Here are some links for the SW sets at Toy Fair: FBTB Galactic Hunt Rebelscum Also anyone interested on movie-accuracy here's the links to Hasbro's ROTS line: http://www.galactichunter.com/absoluteig/g...categoryid=3511 http://toyfair.rebelscum.com/2005/hasbro/

I prefer the new one too. It just looks more like a complete set to me. I usually don't buy the Harry Potter sets but I might pick up some of the new ones since they don't look that bad.

Seeing some new close ups and angles of the sets makes me want them all a lot more than I did before. The only one I'm unsure about is the ship in the Wookie Attack set though I'm still going to get it due to the new wookies, more battle droids, the tank and spider droid.

I think I can safely say I'm going to give that a miss.

Here's some new pics of the set from Brickshelf: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=117801 Aside from the new gray pieces, the only real change on the ship itself is a few changes on the back door and no longer has the two antenaes (sp?) on the roof.

Great to hear Lego is finally releasing a Sandcrawler! Did jungle1006 mention a price range for it? As for the USC Death Star if it's a playset like Cloud City I will probally probally pick it up but if it's just a giant ball I'll give it a miss.

I've regretted not picking up the original shuttle but after seeing this I'm glad I did. Lego has really seemed to step up in quality with the SW line this year. I noticed a lot of the minifigures have changed too. The Emperor now has grey skin, the stormtroopers now have printed legs, the Imperial guards seem to have trans-red visors and the Imperial Officers have new hats plus skin toned.
