Mark Twain Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 75204 Sandspeeder This is just upsetting. It's not just about how ugly it looks or the rest of the TLJ sets. It is further confirmation that TLJ is just a reboot of Empire. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossilrock Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 From what i've read on other sites, this is not related to the last jedi, but is part of the expanded universe and is a homage to the original sandspeeder by kenner that was never released. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thoroakenfelder Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I actually kind of like it and will buy one for me. I don't think that it says anything about last Jedi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpinemaps Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 This set might be from Battlefront II. We don’t know yet that it’s from TLJ. I suspect much rioting if it’s from TLJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickLegacy Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Every year goes by and I'm more and more thankful for the opportunity to enjoy the original trilogy when I was a kid. So sad. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TANV Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Before everyone gets up in arms about how this MIGHT be in The Last Jedi, I direct you to @fossilrock post before. Furthermore, I found this tidbit, which makes a lot more plausible sense to explain what this is. No need to grab our pitchforks...yet... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that as well and find it highly unlikely that Disney would release an entirely random set amidst TLJ Lego roll out. We already have scenes of the remade AT ATs on a desert planet and Disney got away with rebooting ANH as TFA, so all I’m waiting for is the big “I am your father” moment from Luke to Rey, or if Disney gets really dark . . . Kylo REN. We know he likes to kiss his sister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legorunner Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 (edited) From a "please, please do something original" perspective, if this is actually in the TLJ, then yes, terrible! From a "please, please do something new" perspective, if this is all LEGO can come up with to try and boost sales, then yes, horrible. But, from the perspective of someone who likes to dally in MOCs that are set in the SW universe but certainly not canon, I'm pretty excited for a nice rendition of an iconic vehicle that can be incorporated into other settings besides snow. Swap out a few tan pieces for dark green pieces and you've got a vehicle that looks nice swooping over a variety of terrain. Looking forward to picking one up when it inevitably hits a nice discount! Also, the fact that the "bad guy" on the back of the box is a snake makes me laugh. A vehicle that was virtually useless against AT-ATs minus the tow cable has apparently been relegated to patrolling for snakes and other pests.

There was no limb amputation in TFA, perhaps there will be 2 in TLJ to make up for it 1 hour ago, legorunner said: Also, the fact that the "bad guy" on the back of the box is a snake makes me laugh.

Somebody still needs to patrol those moisture farms during peaceful time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's quite obviously what they have done. It's this thing. This isn't really a debate or opinion situation. It's a neat homage to a Kenner toy that never was. Bang on TFA all you want for being derivative, but this is a really cool nod to fans of Star Wars & Kenner. Even if they put this thing in the movie, that's still what it would be. A clever nod to the uber-nerds Edited November 6, 2017 by mudcatsfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zskid00 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 The only thing missing is a speeder bike pack-in with the same color scheme. Also, is anyone wondering why that thing is taking down a moisture vaporater? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
