Tarkin, imperial officers, and the imperial naval troopers look fantastic! When I want the reddit it was through a link someone made about you that I found the enhanced picture

Oh From Bricks to Bothans Emperor Knudstorp will be most displeased...

Wow! That is actually really cool. I've seen so ANH so many times paying attention to all of the background stuff and I can't believe i've missed this dude! Good catch Robianco and Lomis! Honestly even if it's 60 for both I may have to brick link him, black tunic officer, and Tarkin.

I'm not seeing the multiple Imperial Officers only Tarkin and the black tunic officer (Who thankfully has rank pips). Unfortunately it appears the other officer at the command table is an Imperial Technician for some bizarre reason? video or it didn't happen!

I would like to point out that five of the figures appeared in the Final Duel in the exact same costumes. At least Tarkin has a grey uniform now This set is extremely, extremely lazy on the designers part. Anything would've been cooler then this. I don't think I was even in high school when the original set came out so the fact that Lego is releasing this set now is very disappointing.

Phew I did it. I just binge watched ALL of season 2 today in preparation for season 3. As a self professed hater of rebels I can now say (Takes deep breath) i'm a big fan of a series and very much look forward to season 3. I decided to go in with an open mind and tried to forget how much I disliked the first season and i'm glad I did. The first season is still mostly awful for many reasons but this season has taken what worked and made that more the focus of the show. First I think getting the crew off of Lothal and hopping from world to world was a big improvement as it fits more with the fact they're always on the run as well as makes things more interesting. I don't think the show ever did Lothal justice as it felt far too sterile and oddly empty, even the wilderness. That I think is a common problem with settings in the show primarily in the first season but the production team improved this much in the second season. Since I missed out on the initial discussion i'm just going to go through the season as it's still fresh in my mind and after 10 straight hours I need to reflect. Apologies for the long post. Siege of Lothal: Excellent opening! Darth Vader was fairly awesome, especially when he attacks the rebel fleet single handedly blowing up A-Wings until he eventually destroys the flagship. First major casualty of the season, and considering the Phoenix Home is supposed to have a crew of 900 (although I imagine the rebels only have a fraction of that) it's a major setback. Good to see the Empire put the pressure on the fledgling rebel cell. The Lost Commanders & Relics of the Old Republic: As a big fan of the Clone Wars it was so cool seeing Rex return. At first I was doubtful of having clones in the series when I saw the trailers but Rex adds a lot of flavor to the cast. The modified AT-TE is wonderful and very Miyazaki-esque. Always Two There Are: Excellent atmosphere that really set the scene for introducing the terminator like Inquisitors. This episode reminds me a lot of one of my favorite DS9 episodes "Terok Nor". Brothers of the Broken Horn: Hondo! Was not a fan of the piracy episodes in season 1 but hands off to the writers for bringing back this fantastic character. Another Clone Wars character that adds a lot to this series. I love the constant betrayals! Wings of the Masters: I did not expect the Blockade Runner to get destroyed at the beginning but i'm glad it did. We need to see more Imperial competence. Akbar didn't design B-Wings? I guess that's retconned in the new canon. I was surprised to enjoy the character of the Mon Calamari ship wright who I expected to be a lot cheesier then he was. Blood Sisters: Stormtroopers do not catch a break in this series and that poor star tours robot Ketsu has a cool armor and ship design and her love/hate relationship with Sabine is another cool layer to the episode. Stealth Strike: I love, love Kanan and Rex's relationship and interactions. The new interdictor design is slick and I hope we get to see more of them when Thrawn arrives. I hope we see Admiral Titus again in the future as he seems fairly competent but arrogant enough to be believably beatable. However I do have one gripe. At the end when Kanan rescues Rex on the ancillary bridge room, why didn't he just go into the bridge and take out the crew there then hijack the interdictor for the rebel fleet? Even a blast shield can be carved into with a lightsaber. The Future of the Force & Legacy: Ithorian babies are adorable! The cat and mouse game between the inquisitors and the Ghost crew was well executed and they seemed to genuinely be in danger the whole episode. A Princess on Lothal: I just want to say this episode somehow managed to make the Imperials seem more like the good guys then Princess Leia. Leia used a mission of mercy, which local Imperials wholeheartedly supported oddly enough, as a cover for what amounted to be seditious activity. In real life that is how hospitals get caught in the middle of fire fights or worse targeted. Leia is kind've a ruthless person in this and is willing to do what it takes to aid rebellion even if that means millions don't actually get the relief aid they need. That is in no way a critique but rather an observation. Was this intentional in the writing I do not know but it does make the rebels seem less outright good then they normally are portrayed as and closer to shades of grey. Legends of the Lasat: Zeb is hands down my favorite character on the show next to Hera, Rex, and Hondo. Hondo I might add always manages to crack me up with the constant betrayals. The shots at the anomaly were absolutely gorgeous and the entire scene with the Ghost and Kallus and the violins playing in the background was surprisingly mature for the series. The Call: The yellow Ties were cool and Hera being shown as intolerant of the whale things gave her more depth but ultimately a bit of a throwaway episode. Not bad but nothing to write home about. Homecoming: Cham Syndulla is an interesting character especially when you've read Lords of the Sith and so he fits well in this series. The Quasar Carrier's design is a massive improvement over the older design and I hope we get to see the rebel captured one face off against an Imperial one. The Honorable Ones: Our first hint of Rogue One appearing in Rebels came in this ep when Kallus talks about being ambushed by Saw Gerrea on Onderon. We also get hints at the construction of the Death Star with the sterilization of Geonosis. Considering the Geonosians are insects that probably resulted in a genocide of a hundred billion. Oddly would this act not be worse then the destruction of Alderann which according to canon only has a 2 billion population? Shroud of Darkness: Yoda was another character from the trailers that concerned me but they managed to do just enough with him without altering any perceptions of his role in the overall saga. I like that the Grand Inquisitor was once a Temple Guard so that from now on whenever we see them in a clone wars episode we'll never know for certain if that's him or not under the mask. The Forgotten Droid: Absolutely love the Imperial droid and I was a little worried he was legitimately dead at the end. I'm loving how this season has put the state of the fleet as a driving force for the action and plot. The Mystery of Chopper Base: I'm not an arachnophobe thankfully or otherwise this episode would have freaked me out. Even still those tunnel scenes Twilight of the Apprentice: If Ashoka managed to survive i'm just going to go ahead an call BS. This is how you kill of a character, the entire season was building up to this confrontation between her and Vader in a touching way. If she's alive then that'll feel like a big middle finger to the audience. This season focused more on it's characters with an episode or two exploring each one which i'm grateful for. I think the characters of the crew are great and they need more time to shine. I generally dislike Ezra but seeing him grow in this season along with his interactions with Maul are changing my mind. I also think the underlying goals of expanding the rebel fleet and establishing a base were both crucial to giving season two a strength and unity the first didn't have.

I find some of the color changes to be a bit odd. From dark red to bright yellow? Seems rather garish but if it looks good in the end I guess it looks good. Must have Hammil accurate freckles man!

Well my point is you need enemies to fight in a diorama like this and having one or even two stormies is a little lackluster. Now four would be a good number. I know there's the BP coming out next year that supposedly has OT stormtroopers but I feel on principle you shouldn't have to feel obligated to buy another set after spending $500 (or more in other countries). Besides if TLG can afford to put two stormtroopers in a cheap battle pack set having four in one of the most expensive sets doesn't seem like a big deal. I know this sounds slightly entitled, but we have gone through several years of proper stormtroopers being dispersed into expensive sets in ones. That being said I haven't seen the set or figure numbers. Maybe once we see the full line up of figures together we'll be so blown away it won't matter.

Brink link is your friend. That's how I got a second mad scientist for about 5 bucks.

Wow this is a really different take on the tie fighter, I like this a lot! It's fairly compact and much smaller then the official set. I wonder is yours closer to scale?

Knowing TLG there will only include one stormie in a nigh on $500 set. Honestly that's a lower figure count then I was hoping but still fairly generous. Han Solo looks amazing! Now this would be the year to have released a death star battle pack with gunners. The real question is will Tarkin have a grey or dark tan uniform?

My local targets and walmarts all still have disney and have yet to get this series in.

Maybe for us here in the States but have the international prices been set?

Maybe just maybe the phantom is not the rebel phantom but in fact a Tie Phantom? Rebels is adding a LOT of eu and releasing another rebel phantom without a new ghost available makes little sense to me

Looks like I will be buying Star Wars Armada's 3rd, 4th, and 5th waves instead of the RO sets. The sets aren't bad but I will wait until next year's May 4th deals and try to pick some up on sale. I'm really only interested in minifigures and the battle packs and micro fighters sound promising!

Considering how prevalent the Officers appear in Rogue One i'm glad we're finally getting a cheap set with an imp officer. That will bring their price on the secondary market way down. The question is will Lego once again update the print? I'm glad Lego is always improving but honestly its kind've irritating at the same time for an army builder. I feel like I will finally catch up and then there's a new group of prints. Again this is preemptive griping and i'm sure the end result will be splendid

Love the imperial figures for the Tie Striker especially the shore trooper. The mouth filter thing though proves undoubtedly we need an updated scout trooper. Thanks.

What is the subreddit called exactly because I can't find it?

Guys be careful, let's not let this thread go the way of the Pokemon Go thread.

Maybe it's not as small of a set as rumored?

According to wikipedia Ghostbusters has earned 182 million worldwide and cost 144 million to make. I guess adding everything else on then definitely I could see it not making the money back. However that's the studio and producer's fault not the film.

How is it a flop if its already made more then it's budget? If it made less on the domestic market but more on the international market isnt that still a big success?

Spawn?

I just want to know why the designers decided to take on Yoda's starfighter, which looks like a fairly daunting vehicle to design build, rather then the more straight forward yoga's hut

Well here's the really important question, is the yoda included going to be the new ROTS style or TCW style?
