TheOrcKing Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 A rather unique book by DK Publishing primarily focusing on 'the dark side' will be due for release in September. No clues as to the exclusive minifigure but hopefully this one shall not be a retro release of a disappointment like a certain other recently released compendium. Anywho, here is the pre-order page on Amazon for anyone to bookmark for later. ....No, that wasn't an intentional pun. via The Brick Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Full Tilt Bricks Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Anything is better than a varient with just a medal added. I'd get it, depending on the fig. How funny would it be if it was Darth Revan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcarin Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Yeh It smells like leftover Darth Revans to me lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMorden Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I'm gonna go with Darth Revan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 I doubt it. When has a Lego Shop-at-Home promotional figure ended up in a DK book or anywhere else for that matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inversion Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 It is certainly not Revan. They put in the exclusive figure mainly to milk SW MF collectors. Most of whom already have Revan. It would be VERY poor business tactic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agp548 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I will be lmao if it is Revan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 My guess is it will be a Palpatine variation. Maybe he gets a medal this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@rtisan Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Great cover art, but it`s not going to be Raven. Got to agree with others on that, it would be crazy sales tactics. I don`t think Lego has ever had a promo/rare figure show up in a book, and I doubt they ever will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 I wonder if the exclusive may be a character from the new Star Wars Rebels series as a way of helping promote it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMorden Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 OrcKing, Inversion and @rtisan got me convinced. I'll take Revan back and guess its a more iconic Dark side character. Some variation of Darth Vader or Palpatine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XCool Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 My guess is it will be a Palpatine variation. Maybe he gets a medal this time. Two medals he needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 It probably won't ever happen but I really want to see a Phase III Dark Trooper as a minifigure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Word is the included minifigure will be a new version of Darth Sidious/Emperor Palpatine which would mean Huskers guessed correctly. While there are no images at this time, you can get a decent look at this updated variant in this Microfighters short that you may have already watched from another thread. via The Brick Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 I hope it will not be the TC-4 !!! It will be Darth Sidious/Emperor Palpatine so you have nothing to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciglione Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Pfew! If it will be Emperor Palpatine, will this have any positive investing effect on set 8096 emperor palpatine's shuttle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJHitmen Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Who's the sith guy that Alcarin has on his avatar? Could it be that guy? We know it isn't that guy so this is moot, but FYI, that is Darth Nihilus, one of the main antagonists from KOTOR2. Wouldn't be shocked to see him in Lego form one day, given that we've seen Revan and some other TOR characters/sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Someone on Bricklink acquired what could be the double-sided head and torso for the Emperor Palpatine minifigure exclusive to this compendium. We already know or figure the hood, legs, and cape will just be simple black so this pretty much is what we will get except he's missing all those other parts here. via The Brick Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
