Regardless, sell unless you like the set. It's had enough time to apprciate. Not sure it will go much higher despite being a cool set. No idea why they are refreshing it again. If any prequel set should be refreshed, it's Jango's Slave 1 or a Vader's Transformation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meowsmeowsmeows Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Another Episode I refresh? I guess I may buy this for my personal collection because I don't have one of the previous versions yet, but it's hardly an essential vehicle with all other larger sets coming out. Does anyone think these sets actually sell well enough to reproduce, especially retailer exclusives? The TRU MTT that was released last year can't possibly be a good seller at $90. Or, is Lego just repurposing old parts in a slightly new design with minimal effort and hoping to make some more money? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete with a power button that enables vocalization of Vader that says "Nnnnooooooooooo!" But, both of those sets would be better than another Naboo fighter or Sith Infiltrator or MTT IMO.

meowsmeowsmeows Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 New sound brick! I love that idea! Yeah, I'm surprised that's not yet part of Lego sets given how "sound-enhanced" kids toys are these days. It wouldn't be hard to do. They have light bricks like with Tower of Orthanc. Let's propose it on IDEAS! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
California92563 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I'm super excited about the sith infiltrator since I missed out on the 2011 one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Looks like we are getting a refreshed Darth Maul Sith Infiltrator. A retailer exclusive.I wonder how much better they could achieve the ship from the 2011 version. I have a feeling this new one will be smaller and closer to the design a couple years prior which was good and cheaper but used a lot of bulky curved pieces.

stephen_rockefeller Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I think it's just not a good ship to do in lego......all of them, especially the first one look horrendous IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
California92563 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I'm hoping the new one is larger and looks better then the 2011 one since i really want one for my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenplays Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Picture of the nose of the new Sith Infiltrator and minifigures included. Strange to include Anakin when we're getting him in the new Naboo Starfighter. Would have prefered a new Padme or just a reissue of the 2011 variant.

exciter1 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Yes. This one was announced a little while back. I don't think we've seen pics though Dang Lego...this is the only way to get the Sabine character with her signature helmet. I'm going to guess this ship could have good part out value and will be popular out the gate because of Sabine. Funny that the pic on the front covers one of the minifigures.

boxofcorey Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Funny that the pic on the front covers one of the minifigures. That's a picture of the actual build in front of the box. Its an illusion.

Its an illusion.What he said. The shot is from the last Toy Fair which had the model on display in front of the box. A closer inspection reads the minifigure covered is just another TIE Pilot anyway so not missing much.Picture of the nose of the new Sith Infiltrator and minifigures included. Strange to include Anakin when we're getting him in the new Naboo Starfighter. Would have prefered a new Padme or just a reissue of the 2011 variant.The inclusion of Watto seems like an odd choice.

jal4u2c Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 You mean weird like Queen Amidala with a Gungan Sub? Or Ceremony Princess Leia with a Y-Wing Fighter? Lego just jams them in where they can to add to the exclusivity of the set. I think they're currently trying to get as many of the Episode I characters done with the newer details before Clone Wars and Prequels are forgotten due to the new movie.

The choice makes a little more sense after you notice that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The choice makes a little more sense after you notice that. That set along with Leia with the Y Wing and Solo wiith the A-Wing were reasons why people thought the latest Sandcralwer would include Aunt Beru. Very odd throw-in figs indeed in most sets.

jeff_14 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I appreciated Amidala being put in with the Gungan sub. They were on their way to rescue her in that thing. Where else would she appear? In an exciting desk action set? There were no action-y scenes with her in that outfit except when she gets rescued right after they double park the sub.

They could create a Naboo Royal Spaceship set complete with real and fake Amidala. The fans have been asking for this set since what, the first LEGO SW set ?

TheOrcKing Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Some new info has popped up stating a possible release date of sometime by August and the set will include 660 pieces plus five minifigures at a retail of €99.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilrock Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Alright, at 660 pieces, this is a substantial amount of more pieces compared to the other sets. The last one had around 450, so this sounds like it might be the best Sith Infiltrator yet. I think this is one set that hasn't been done right, just yet. I'm more interested in this set, now that a piece count was given. This year's other SW store exclusive the Droid Battle Carrier was also a very well thought out set, and felt like it was the best one made yet, so hopefully this one will be too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
