Star Wars 2018

[tawsauce]

Have you guys actually seen the film? You may not like half an at-st but it is accurate to the scene.  Luckily we've recently had 75153 so it's not really worth getting worked up about.

Yea it is a good representation of the scene. That’s a fact. It just looks pathetic and why have half of an at-st when there were completed at-st(s) in the same scene?

In other news... the first Han Solo movie minifigure was "leaked".  Thandie Newtons character.. .

Plus the ATST started out firing at everyone with the armor around its head, only to be shot off by the stormtroopers.  That should have been a built in play feature to make it awesome..

I'll take Jang's word for this set. I never heard him so outraged.
 
 

Wow, he hates that set!

I don’t blame him, who thought it was a good idea to produce half of an AT ST?

Even if didn’t have a head in the film (it did), add a head anyway and include a feature so that you can blow it off/detach it!

Terrible, terrible set!

Because then everyone would ***** about instant remakes 

[Val-E]

The part below the head is an instant remake.....

Yep, that would have been the best option but I still like the way It remembers me of the movie scene... And of course, the minifigures are awesome! Best way to get Phasma!

Which means 75153 should be an instant hit in the aftermarket at least 2x rrp

 

FO AT-ST's a piece of sh#t

when you look at it.

Ahch to's a laugh and Eisley's a joke it's true.

You see its all a sham

Just keep laughing at the scam

And just remember that the last laugh is on you

And.............

Try a third

[Captain_chaos]

A couple of new sets have leaked. An OT X-Wing, and a smaller Sandcrawler. Picture quality is awful, but the sandcrawler looks to be a roughly £100 set.

[amrandazz]

What's the UCS speculation for 2018? New ISD?

[Val-E]

More: Pics of Jedi Starfighter have also leaked.

Sandcrawler prediction - 1,750 pieces, $225 USD.  Aftermarket will still freak out about the UCS that retired last year...

Not for 9-14 year olds, it´s a playset.

[GregP]

If anything this Sandcrawler should give the UCS one a boost!!

wishful thinking

[Armor]

It's another cheaper source for minfigs that are "limited" (that label means nothing currently). Jawas are becoming what helicopters are to city. Then again the Jawas have the x-wing to compete with. 

At least Ben used to carry some weight and the other droids.

It's hard to tell from the photo, but it looks like the piece count is < 1000.

The Recycle logo is the Helicopter of the Star Wars line

Still no capes in the new ones though

Exclusive first look at AT RT

[fossilrock]

They sure are going to over-abuse that ATST set, I think.  I'll easily pass on the Sandcrawler because I doubt it lives up to the 2014 UCS version.  The X-wing will probably be a pass too, but we'll see how it goes.  I wonder if Anakin's Jedi Starfighter is the 2014 version.  Interestingly, I just sold my sons used set for about 60.00 this month.  That 2014 version was a money maker.  Looks like it's about to take a dive though.

It looks like it's in the same sized box as the beatnik at-at from TLJ.  So, I think it would be around 140 max and be similar to the 2014 MTT set.  

[RKI_Fismo]

Looks like the 501st  clone trooper & ATST  is a buildable figure,as is the super battle droid.The droid looks good,

but couldn't make out too much of the ATST set pics.The Anakin star fighter is the same as in 75191 in grey & yellow.

Few vids surfacing on Youtube showing grainy images

That pic has been leaked too, and it isn't the same as 2014; it's one of the older styles.
