Yes the new 09 line should be very exciting, I have asked Ben for more information on the battle packs, as he didn't really say much, I will post information as I get it, thanks for all the replies guys Ashoka

Okay, I have some more information, in relation to your questions: The new AAT front is made from the same round pieces in the Droid Gunship The reason for the new TIEs is apparently because its part of the force unleashed line Yoda's head is a New Mold The shuttle is the largest set, followed by the tri droid, followed by the AAT and finally the battle packs Ashoka~

Yes, I know, I still cant afford any of the sets at the moment! The 1 battle droid on its own is because its a normal kind to drive the STAP, the others are with the new arms! Ashoka~

Okay, another update: Clone Battle Pack: Contains 2 Clone troopers, 1 Clone commanders and 1 new clone (ben said like a clone pilot and clone commander, basically he is not sure what the last clone is) 1 vehicle (1 speederbike ) Droid Battle Pack: 1 droid, 4 battle droids, 1 super battle droid and 1 destroyer droid (new deseign, again). 1 vehicle ( STAP ) Well the figs dont sound bad, but the speeders, well, we've seen it too many times, im quite disappointed to be honest, I hope Ben is wrong now He also said there will be: 1 Tie fighter (why? ) and 1 Tie bomber (again, why? ) I am not impressed by the second half, because I dont beleive it , so I hope he is wrong... Ashoka ~(by the way, I know its wrong, but when we were all squinting to see ahsoka/ashoka/asoka/ahoka on the new AT-TE box, i placed my bet on Ashoka, thanks though! ) Oh yes, about Yoda and the shuttle, Ben only said Yoda was a new deseign, neither me nor him have seen any images of that, so I dont know what yoda looks like. And yes sorry i missed off a Clone Pilot.

Oh right, thanks for that, when he said "looks like a jedi in the AAT" i was very confused, thanks for the link, and, no, my friend doesnt work for lego but the person whom he is getting his information from is connected to lego, i can find out how. Ben is sending me the rest of this list now, so i shpuld post it pretty soon guys Ashoka~ Wow! Thanks for the clip!! Its awesome!

Hahah well, just so you know, (with the new 08 sets he got half of the list right) so i trust him that he gets them right or close to, most of the time, where is the other list? and when did it come out? maybe it is the same as my friends(who is called Ben, so i can stop calling him, my friend) Yes I will ask him for pics, and he is sending me the rest of the list right now, so i can tell you more about the new line! I am soo excited about the 09 sets! Ashoka~

Actually if you look up some of those larger droids, you will find that a Lego version would be quite large, i.e. more pieces used that in the hailfire droid and spider droid set. Also Lego often create sets which have little figs and (in fans eyes) are over priced. The crab droid would be more pieces than the lego spider droid, and an octupara droid would be quite difficult to create using a small amount of pieces, then in addition to these is a new droid carrier and a STAP, for $30, i would buy it. I think lego may give us less figs and more useful equipment if they were to create a new battle pack for the clone wars, but whatever happens, i agree with you uberlag that i would want more figs for less $ But its TLG so it is not going to happen Also, does anyone think that we may see any of the CIS leaders in this new clone wars line, and if so, how would they include them into a set? Thanks, Ashoka*

Wow! This comic-con exclusive is great! When i saw the pic, i thought that there were images of the 09 line how wrong i was, and until the clone and droid battle packs are confirmed this is a great way to get your hands on the New Clones! (instead of buying 4 of either 7675 or 7676) If Lego do make clone/droid battle packs, i want them to be like this set, which brought my line of thought to this, perhaps these new battle packs will not be like the 4 which we have had so far, these are my thoughts, CIS battle pack/ Droid battle pack: Octupara droid x1, crab droid x1, destroyer droid x1, battle droid x1, super battle droid x1 and commander battle droid x1 (also includes 1 STAP and 1 droid transporter) (new deseign to also carry destroyer droid) $30 Republic battle pack/ Clone battle pack: Clone commander (yellow) x1, Clone Trooper x2, Clone medic x1 and Jedi x1 (includes 1 Speeder bike and 1 medical transport) $30 hope you like the ideas as I think they are Lego realistic, i.e. not enough clones and droid ect Ashoka

There have been many problems in the past with the Star Wars product section on the official Lego site, at the moment if you look under products, and look at the Hailfire Droid and Spider Droid set you can see that in the image it depicts the set to contain 3 droid commanders :-D I think that area of the site needs to be re-done due to lack of updates and the poor quality of that product area in general. I would also be interested to see the part where fans and (others) show there Mocs which TLG put together to create the Star Wars story, they really need to put up the Episode III part, Thank you for reading my views, Ashoka~

Well, I think we can safely say that this will be clone wars related, but what I don't know. I am hoping for a Jedi, because Jedi will only appear in specific sets, whereas clone troopers will appear through out the line. By the time the clone wars line finished, it would surprise me if there was not a cheap set which makes the common phase 1 clone easily available, like a battle pack, or a £20 set with about 4-5 plain white phase 1 clone troopers. However, putting my view aside it is very likely that this set will have one minifig and that it will be a clonetrooper in some shape or form, because it is the clone wars, not the jedi wars. I cannot remember which member posted this, but someone commented on how it would be interesting to see yoda in this new 3d style, I also think that Yoda could be a likely choice, if it were to be a jedi, and that he would be redone just for this series. As for what transport or accessory comes with the minifig, I am not sure, it really depends upon what the minifig is. Ashoka~

haha, good find! *sweet* I think this is the first we have seen of these new minis, so well done! Hopefully we will soon see (april/may) the new system scale models, i.e. AT-TE and the RGS! *wub* Ashoka~

Haha, Thats a good question, i use it as the weapon Batman uses to knock the villans guns out of their hands because it fits nicely onto the end of the Batman guns. :-D Other uses that i have used them for putting 5 or 6 on a 4l lightsaber blade (black) and they work well as spining blades ect... Another use is to put two on the end of a black pole and use them for a Batman staff for Batman or Robin... Hope that helped but i do not know what TLG intent was for the untensil, Ashoka~ :-)

The irony of this whole voting is that people have voted for a OT set but the highest number of votes for an actual set is the Jadi temple which is a PT set! haha, funny, :-P I would be very happy with PT Jedi temple becuase if you think about it, the jedi temple is a set that can really only be released for a situation like this, whereas things like the Tantive 4 will most likley be released anyway as a set for the 2011 TV series. My second vote would go to the Royal Naboo Starship although maybe to impractical because it is chrome, but i would love one anyway! *wub* Ashoka~ *sweet*

Wow thats great! i think the reason we have seen a plain clone and cody + the jedi and sith is because the other two will be newly developed clone pilots! That would be great although another two plain clones would be warmly welcomed, Ashoka~

well judging from the images it would be a headpiece on top of a normal lego head with her face printed on it, hope that answers your question. Ashoka~

I am pretty sure Rex is that captain you metion because of that blue deseign between the visor and the fin on the helmet. Also the pics from that site Sam posted show obi and assajj at the toyfair-which would also suggest plo was shown at the toy fair! *wub* cannot wait to see a pic of him! Ashoka~

I think the Twilight will be Anikan's new ship that you see in the clone wars trailer(looks like a B-wing) I am hoping for the following figs that are clonewarized: Count Douku Padme sease tiin shaak ti Agen Kolar Ki-Adi-Mundi Luminara Barris Offee C-3po? Palpatine(Although Unlikley) Aayla Secuda Ashoka~

In 7738 (2008 helicopter resque) there is orange versions of those wing pieces which meens you can make an oragne jedi starfighter. *wub* I agree with *yoda* that they are most likley to produce the sith fighter/ interceptor because they have a licence for anything that is in Star Wars until 2011. Ashoka~

Wow! *wub* Well spotted Brainbox! Yes that is a great mold and you could use that suit for Harley aswell if you got bored of the black and white! Thanks alot brainbox and well spotted ;-) :-) Off topic (BTW is the witch on the ice a new fig or old?) Thanks, Ashoka~

No problem, i understand the misunderstanding "Magna droid" makes them sound like some kind of mass produced army unit! :-D Oh yeah, on the side of the AT-TE is a new deseign for the republic symbol (Although probobly a sticker) it would be great if it was a printed piece! *wub* Also on the new STAP deseign, does anybody know what piece is used to hold those flags? Ashoka~

No, Magna gaurds are the special droid gaurds from episode III that serve under General Grievous. :-) Magna Guard Hope that helps, Ashoka~ :-)

I think i missed something, which set is the other Harley in? Ashoka~

My favourte themes are: Star Wars Batman Castle in that order, thanks for asking Ashoka~ *sweet*

Thanks alot, i now feel very welcome and yes, i am sure that this site does suck free time dry! :-P *sweet* I am sure i will have a great time here. Ashoka~
