Darth_Raichu Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Not fair sourcing someone with a time machine Quote Star Wars Lego lovers should prepare their wallets for September! UPDATE (July 1, 2016): Bothan spy “BrixBat” from Denmark alerted us to a 2-month old post by Brickset.com.

c_rpg Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 If there is no new Y-Wing, the old ones could reach astronomical prices.The price for 10134 is already insane. Maybe 9495 and 7658 can increase a bit more as well. There are not much of these available on bricklink. It has been years since a Y-wing was available. Meanwhile Red five has just retired and there's two different rogue one X-wings on the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nsheppard9101 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Is that legit? If so it's pretty horrible... I only like 75153 I would assume so. These pictures are popping up all over the Internet. I agree the all look pretty bad. The bottom left looks like something from early 2000s lol...seems TLG rolls the dice lately either they hit it out of the park or its horrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Seems like only BB8 has been embraced positively as a new design from the last movie and Disney are going to have a hard time creating new shapes to rival with the classics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenix_2k1 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) I just don't get it. Force awakens comes out. Everyone whinges, no new ships, no imagination. Rogue one comes out with new ships, everyone whinges, don't like them, not as nice as the old ships. This is why star wars fans should never ever be listened to when it comes to creating new content.

c_rpg Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I thought the U-wing concept art was okay. Not great, but okay. But the Lego version... it just doesn't look like a starfighter. Looks more like a freighter. The tank thing was kinda weird, but the Lego set looks nothing like it. The Tie Striker is just WHY, but the Lego version actually looks like the concept art The shuttle looks like some kid tried to make an imperial shuttle but he only had a lot of black parts and not the right ones to make it look like an actual shuttle. The AT-ST is just an AT-ST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When that happens there's just going to be all the complaining about another Y-Wing or whatever. Can't really blame LEGO for the designs if the Lucasfilm designs aren't very good. I'm going to withhold judgement until we've had a chance to live with the new designs for a little while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious_george Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 75155 is an x-wing with the wings pulled forward and a fat belly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiliusThunderhead Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Does that fighter pilot in the Tie striker set have aircraft marshal wands (or whatever they're called)??? Kudos to TLG for going the extra distance there (and not actually being sarcastic here - i think that's a simple yet cool touch if that is the case) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilrock Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Thanks for the pic... But, i'm not reading too deep to these comments on these pages anymore. Too much whining, anytime something new is released and it gets soooo old. Personally, I dig most of these. The selection of minifigures is good.. Of course, they won't show vader until the January wave after the movie is released. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiliusThunderhead Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I'm actually stoked for that AT-ST. Haven't got round to buying the earlier variants and 75153 does look like a pretty good upgrade. I reckon that set will be well embraced. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossilrock Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Which set has Jyn Erso? I take it she's the one with the Green Helmet in the U-wing? Or is she missing in the first round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Raichu Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 One thing for sure, the minifig from 75153 is holding a huge blaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zskid00 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I love the AT-ST and TIE Striker. It reminds me of the TIE Phantom from the Rebel Assault II video game. It's just missing a third solar panel. http://www.dorkdroppings.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/tiephantom.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey_Dollars Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 75152 is painfully reminiscent of the first order snowspeeder 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second set AT-ST (75153, 449 pieces, at 39.99) comes with an At-st driver, and two rebels, one of which is Baze, and another that is indistinquishable Third set (75154, 543 pieces and at 69.99) looks like it has a scarab trooper, a tie fighter pilot, a death star trooper, and perhaps Jyn Erso (wonder if this is how she gets the pilot outfit, hence the set) Fourth set, which I think is the best one, the U-wing (75155, 659 pieces, at 69.99) comes with Diego Luna's Cassian Andor, a Pilot, Bistan (cool looking alien), a rebel trooper, and possibly a second version of Jyn Erso Fifth set, (75156, 863 pieces, at 89.99) has the Grand Admiral, K-250, the Death Trooper, and 2 rebels, Bodhi, and Pao. As I suspected, Mikkelsens character, Tarkin, Darth Vader, and ANY bounty hunters (if that rumor even has merit) are absent from the sets. They'll probably be in the Death Star set..
