TheOrcKing Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Here's a nice slide deck of the LEGO displays at Comic Con 2015 and some of the first clear images of the new 75096 - Sith Infiltrator. http://www.rebelscum.com/2015-sdcc/LEGO-2015-San-Diego-Comic-Con-SDCC/default.asp Well now we have the box art to go with the build images in the main topic for that upcoming set. Not too shabby although from a glance it appears to be a bit slimmer than the previous from just a couple years ago. what is up with smiley Darth Maul?

California92563 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) Anyone with a good eye care to Comment on wether this infiltrator is better/bigger than the previous?it's definitely bigger, it has About 150 more pieces than the last version but in a way I kinda like the older one... And I hate the inclusion of anakin, sebulba, and r2, it makes little sense and they're crappy filler minifigs lol. But..... If it's $50 or less I'll prolly grab one since I like darth maul and the concept of his ship Edited July 11, 2015 by California92563 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's $50 or less I'll prolly grab one since I like darth maul and the concept of his ship Anakin makes sense, since Maul flies over him on his speeder to attack Qui-Gon. Watto is confusing, but I guess makes sense as part of the narrative of getting Anakin and taking him, but R2-D2 makes no appearance in those scenes surrounding the attack.

fossilrock Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 That infiltrator is by far the best one yet. My biggest disappointment is that this is the set that they revealed at Comic Con. I was hoping to see The Force Awakens sets, but doesn't look like that's happening this month. They'll probably "reveal" them on September 3rd, and give us 10 hours to come up with a game plan.

BrickLegacy Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I wonder if the rumored "Hoth Echo Base" is actually going to be an Episode 7 set based on this developing story out of SDCC: Starkiller Base. Ed M suggested that this set might not actually be the Hoth Base, but instead of a placeholder for something else. This could be one possible theory.

citymorgue Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Interesting. It literally looks like 7965 but with a square antenna. I'm not entirely sure it's going to be something that needs to be a first day buy.I like the look of the x-wing though. I like the black coloring. Definitely unique!

I can see your point about the greebling, but it just hardly seems worth the extra $140ish price tag for a very slightly updated version of 7965. I guess my opinion is a tad negative because I have the old one built and displayed, and it's not different enough to warrant 2 of them IMO.

fossilrock Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) I think this is going to do two things. The OT x-wing 9493 looks much different than this version, and will probably still retain it's value and go up. The MF looks somewhat similar to 7965, and feel it will stagnate in value. I'm definitely holding on to my OT x-wings... Edited July 15, 2015 by fossilrock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneknightr Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I know the new MF is geared towards kids, but I hate that they included missiles with the set. Ewww.7965 will most likely take more of a hit than I had initially thought. I only have one, so I'm not too worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete411 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 OMG NICE PICS! Is it just me or did they really step up on the detail on the printings of the minifigs? The pilots have some awesome printing and as everyone says, that new Han is AWESOME. Gotta have it. I'm just thinking one thing. How are we brickpickers going to buy these at a good discount when they are going to hyperspace off of the shelves upon release? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I like the new MF. I love old Han. I'll buy that one right away. I have one 7965 left, and I'm happy to have them both. But I agree that 7965 value may go down.Not sure how I like the Black and Orange X-Wing. I was hoping for White and Blue.Dig that BB8 is in both sets.
