[NEW STUFF] 2011 SW Sets

[Chief]

Bounty Hunter Gunship: This one sounds interesting. Hopefully it'll have good minifigs, like maybe Aurra Sing. Someone at Eurobricks suggested that it could be the Halo from the episode "Bounty Hunters": http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Halo
When I first saw this, I had thought it could be Cad Bane's dropship [i]The Sleight of Hand[i], although that never appeared in the show, so it seems unlikely.

It's not this ship.

Which ship is it?

[Plo Koon]

Would love to see KOTOR sets (The Star Forge, perhaps?) and the Executor (Darth Vader's Super Star Destroyer).

Also, hope the rumor about the Arrest of Palpatine is true! I've been wanting that on for forever! I would also like to see a Yoda versus Sidious set. (From Episode 3)

[Master Fetty]

It wasn't all that strange - Lucasfilm pushed the game as more of a multi-medi project, with books, comics etc. Toys were a part of that.

[KarolRabalski]

I wonder if we will get a Force Unleashed 2 set. I thought it was strange Lego jumped on that game property and not the others (like old republic).

They did put out the now out of print 7672 Rogue Shadow. I never played that Force Unleashed game, but I know this ship was supposed to be from that game.

But then again, that's only one set.

Quoted from JediNews:

Clone Trooper Battle Pack containing four specialised Clone Troopers.
Mandalorians Battle Pack containing four Mandalorians.
V-Wing Fighter in Imperial colours with a pilot and an astromech droid.
Battle on Naboo containing bricks to build a Battle Droid carrier, multiple Battle Droids including a Pilot, plus Jar Jar Binks and a Gungan.
Bounty Hunter Ship featured in The Clone Wars, with mini-figs of Aurra Sing, Embo and an Assassin Droid.
T-6 Jedi Shuttle, coming with Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Shaak Ti and Saesee Tiin.

[The Brain]

These are definitely piquing my interest, especially that shuttle if it does indeed include Shaak Ti and Saesee Tiin.

I did a quick Google search on "Embo" though (for those of you following the CW series, he's one of the bounty hunters in the farm-defending episode on Felucia), but I'm curious as to why Aurra Sing would be included in that set if they never appeared in an episode together. Perhaps I'm reading into the fig combination too much, but it seems like a possible rumor to me.

[Master Fetty]

Lobot. Cloud Car.

'Nuff said.

[Dendo]

I have a hard time believing 4 jedi in one set - especially if 2 are new. That would cost a lot.

[Drock]

T-6 Jedi Shuttle, coming with Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Shaak Ti and Saesee Tiin.

And three months later, they'll be available in "magnet sets".

Looks like another year where I won't have to buy much of anything SW.

GOT SOME PICS YO!

Shaak Ti and the insane looking ARF Trooper = win.

One of these sets looks like a remake of the 7126 Battle Droid Carrier. I'm disappointed that the Mandalorian looks just like the knew Boba Fett, but Jango version. I was expected something like what they looked like in Knights of the Old Republic. I mean, its thousands of years before the prequel trilogy but I was expecting some different armour. (Especially helmet)

Actual pics.

[Bellicose]

At first I was underwhelmed, but I'm liking this wave more and more now that I've seen pics. Esp the smuggler's ship.

I'm curious on the improvements to the V-Wing, it's a design I've always liked but the earlier V-Wing was very plain.

Not sure if I'll get the Jedi shuttle, but it has some nice minifigs (ANOTHER Kenobi tho, wow...seriously, enough of him and Anakin and Ahsoka!)

The battle packs look great!

[Feralcom]

Looks like a great release for figs

Battle Droids - There hasnt been a way to get a bunch of these guys in a while. Im not crazy that they come with Gungans, but oh well...

Aurra Sing and Shaak Ti - sweet

Bomb Squad Trooper - This has to be number one on my wishlist. I cant believe they will put one out.
ARF Trooper is great as well.

Mandalorian - My Nephew wants "The Blue Guy" as much as I wanted a Bomb Squad Trooper. I am very happy he will now get one.

Assasin Droid - I am so sick of these.

Too bad I couldnt care less about the ships. The V-Wing looks ok though why is it "imperial"?

[Bellicose]

I think it's just a time period thing. Like the all-grey Imperial Venators at the end of ROTS.

The action-figure-sized models had an early-Imperial-era V-Wing and ARC-170 recently. I am curious why TLG felt the need to go there - I'd have been happy with an updated, but still Old Republic design.

I'm also happy that one request of mine has been answered - if you're going to give me a battle pack, give me an army, don't give me specialized figures (like Zev Senesca or an AT-AT pilot or Imperial Officer), just give me lots of grunts. I'd have still preferred not having the vehicle and getting one more fig, but whatever.

[Diaaabo]

ARF Trooper, Quinlan Vos, Shaak Ti, Saesee Tiin and most of all, Aurra Sing <3

The bigger ships don't seem so appealing to me, but the BARC speeder looks nice. The new V-wing also looks great, and it seems we have a chromed R2. It also seems we are getting a new mould for IG's head, painted Jar Jar head and old style pilot droid torso, with just some hints of blue instead of having if fully coloured. Thumbs up for all this, can't wait to see better pictures and reviews of the sets!

[Mister Ed]

Yup, going to be a cheap year for me so far from the looks of it. Might get the V-wing if it isn't too overpriced (though how likely is that, these days).

[Gooker1]

Why not more OT sets you ask? Because the Clone Wars show is on tv now, and the primary market for Lego is kids, and most kids have never seen the OT, and they like the Clone Wars. Hopefully we'll see more OT sets in the second half of the year.

Couldn't have said it any better.

The minifigs look pretty sick for 2011. I never picked up on the CW stuff, but the figs will be nice as Sassee, Aura and Shaak were in the prequels for a smidge, so that will be nice for the movie pieces.

The Jar Jar is new w/ that painted head right? I'm bummed it's another droid carrier, but whatever.

The Mandalorian pack would have been color w/ different paint schemes. I don't need three Jango knockoffs running around, but I bet there will be some good customizations out there for them.
