I don't think Home One will be a UCS because it is supposed to be a Toys'r'us exclusive in a price range of 100 € from what was descripted in the poll last year. Moreover we should only have parts of it : the meeting room and a hangar with a A-wing. We already have a fair amount of set this year so wy wallet doesn't want a UCS.

Nice review ! I really liked the ep III jedi starfighter (I got two yellow ones, one red and one blue from Jedi Starfighter and Vulture Droid, Ultimate space battle and jedistarfighter with hyperdrive) and I think Lego did a great job making them. The droid 's problem is more a Star Wars one : how a droid can fit in a wing that is not enough large. It is not the unique set Lego only put a droid head. The vulture droid is worse than the 7660 but was a great improvement from the 1999 vulture droid (ref 7111). I hoped we would get some sets with only vulture droid to make some big battles : it is a pity they always come with a more rare fighter.

Thank you very much CloneMe for these great pictures. I am happy to see that more minifigs are included in the sets (we do not have only one minifig per set as we could have before). Moreover, We are getting three small sets (with 200 -300 pieces and four minifigs so they may cost 30-35 €) which really good for collection. the Snail Tank seems a very good army builder set, a little bit larger than the Homing Spider Droid but in the same range of price I hope so I will multiple. In the Separatist shuttle, we finally get Nut Gunray with two droids and a pilot droid. The ship seems very well executed. A must have, just Nute Gunray minifig make it a must have. The Clonewar Y-wing is a bit desapointing : it is the set with the fewest number of minifigs and none or them are new (the R2-D2 seems to be the old one with a white head ). After the awazing 2007 Y-wing, I will save my money for other sets. The Echo base is great for the minifigs (even if I still wonder why Solo is in the set because he only stayed in the base during the battle) but the trench design is poor and I expected we would get a bigger turret. (like in the 2007 Rebel base)

They look so great, I hope it will be easy to get them. The Endor set is really a must-have with so many minifigs and good buildings . I am looking forward to getting better and more detailed pictures. I was wondering whether to get the 2007 AT-ST, but seeing how good the new one is, I am sure I will save my money for this set.

When you can see the age advice 16 +, you can be sure that LEGO is not only for kids. Since the past few years, LEGO has developped awesome sets that are directly addressed to adults. Don't worry, very serious people use LEGO bricks in their work because of what you can do with. Moreover, collecting LEGO is like many other collection. As long as you enjoy LEGO building, keep collecting them !

I am so sad because I missed it and it is far too expensive now. I really hope we will get a good one with the Mon Calamri cruiser as it was said

I would love a Theed palace play set (or to build with diferent sets) . It would include the hangar with Naboo fighter , the throne room, the core for the duel between Maul and Qui Gonn, some exterior with a new flash speeder and AAT. We could get loads of battle droids, droidekas, naboo gurds, Gunray, Padmé, Darth Maul, Obiwan, gui Gonn, Anakin. It would be a great big set for tha tenth anniversary of ep 1

It seems really awesome, I must buy at least two or three of them for my CIS army Thank you for the review, it is now clearer about the speeder. It is cool it can form the back.

Thank you for these pics, You have made me decided to buy both Anakin starfighter and Ahsoka's one. They look so great together. Indeed, R7-A7 is not as good with its dark red head.

You did a really good job making these mini ships. I like very much your podracers, therepubli cruiser and Padme 's ship. You managed to reprodce the ship's shape accurately. I am looking forward to seeing your ep IV, V, VI minis

It will be great to get a DS trooper in an affordable set ( at least not an 400 € one ) I really hope the Endor Battle playset will not turn to be like the Echo Base we get even from the first description, it looks close : a medium size ship (snowspeeder vs AT-ST), many minifigs with rare ones (which is great). I only wish we will get more than just one door. I am sure TLG can make a very nice control room, like they made the one for the detention block in the death Star. 2009 seems to be a very promising year and the first sets available are awesome (even if I haven't got them)

In France, it is 50 € !!, so for the same price, you can have the AAT with 402 pieces, a new Yoda, a Clone trooper, three new superBattle Droid, two Battle Droid and an awesome tnk with great pieces or ........ The Ahska fighter with a vulture droid wich design was already made before, two buzz droids already designed, Ahsoka (we already get in two sets) and a new astrodroid. Sure the Fighter is awesome, but we already had Obiwan's one in 2002 for 20€, then Anakin 's one last year for 30 €, which was already very expensive. I don't know what is Lego playing at with such bad prices. the problem is that because I'm such a LEGO Star Wars fan that I surely get it, but I will wait and see if I can not get it cheaper. It may be worth 40 € if we consider Anakin's fighter price is fair (which is not) but not 50 €

I get th republic tank, the postman and the knight impulse set. I also get lots of chocolate plus some cash.

They re finally available at legoshop, at least in France. We have all of them, including Ahsoka starfighter and Dooku solar sailor spaceship But the prices are really high

The new 2009 sets are now available at Legoshop here are the officail french prices : Ahsoka vs vulture droid : 49.99

That's great news if it is true. getting senate guards is really a good surprise. The Battle of Endor set seems really good , with quite a lot of minifigs in it. It seems TLG heard Lego fans' wishes !!

It seems a good set, but not a really droid army builder one. I may get a couple of them but I won't get as many of them as if it was a battle droid set. Nevertheless, thanks to your rewiew, I amm now sure I will get at least one, just to get the speeder and get some assassin droids

Ki Adi Mundi and Ayala secura are the two jedis I hope TLG will release one day. If we get Ackbar in the Home One playset, it would be also great to get Kit Fisto's former padawan.

[quote name='booger540' date='Dec 22 2008, 07:41 PM' post='411917' I don't exactly consider them figs either. That's why we can get twenty in the same set !! But droids are great to make a big army and this set is really a must have to complete any army. Moreover, the MTT is well made, far bigger than the previous one, event if it is smaller than it should be if it was minifig-scale.

Are we only getting three normal guns plus two of the small ones ?? I wished we would get one extra gun like in the other clone sets, I am needing them to replace my droid guns ! Nevertheless, thank you for the review ReZourceman, it is always good to have more detailed pictures in order to know what we will get hopefully soon.

The new clones are awesome and I really like how LEGO managed to make the special clones. My favorite clone commander is Cody so I voted for him. Nevertheless, I really loved PloKoon 's head, Ashoka haipiece and the new rebel troopers we finally get.

I would love to see Amidala 's chrome ship as a tenth anniversary set. It would match so much : it is the tenth anniversary of episode 1, we never had a true Amidala with some of her royal dresses whereas she was on the logo, and chrome would be great for an anniversary !!

Really well done. You did a great job with only a few bricks, something i consider very difficult. You used well the different kinds of pieces to make a nice snot construction. Congratulations

The new AAT looks awesome, thank you rcpeck for these detailed comments. I'm looking forward to getting it. Finally, the little speeder doesn't seem so bad. The hyena bomber droid seems also very cool as you described it. the Solar sailor will be a secial edition as supposed before. It is good to see we will get two magna droids, a fleshie version of Dooku and a pilot droid. Dooku's speeder looks good, but we need more accurate pictures. Nevertheless, it is a little bit odd that lego presented the sailer in this position for this box art.

I don't really like the new Windu face. I think the shuttle should come with one more clone pilot : it has far less minifigs than smaller sets. In the Imperial landing craft (which is about the same kind of ship), we had four troopers and one pilot. The solar sailor seems great, with a good design. Moreover, it looks fairly bigger than the geonosian fighter we get in 2003 although it should have the same size. I'm looking forward to seeing better pictures of it.
