I do wonder what the Tantive IV will look like.

I am curious to see what the Toy Story and Prince of Persia sets will look like.

Do that many Star Wars and LEGO fans show up to Comic Con? Also, are there many vendors there that sell collectibles?

I was planning (again) on going this year. Last year I was going to just go and pay at the door, but it sold out so no door entries. I thought I'd play it smart and order tickets online to beat the crowd. I had money and went to buy the tickets, but they were already sold out for Saturday. This was back in March. When do you folks, that are going, start buying tickets online for the next show?

[donneyboy]

I would like to go but as I live in wisconsin I cant. all well cant wait for pictures. Hopefully the tantive IV will be better than it looks.

[Talon Karrde]

My imagination is going wild at the thought of all the possibilities of the Prince of Persia line...

Do you suppose they will be flesh, dark flesh or yellow? (probably/definitely not yellow)

Not very excited by the Tantive IV - seems to me just an overpriced, shoddy rehashing of 7665.

Yes, and yes.


I buy my tickets in January, or immediately after the online registration opens, which ever one comes first.

i usually buy my tickets for the next year while at the con. its' always guaranteed to be the lowest price. i think this year, before i got my press pass, i bought my tickets around early feb.

[thepatient]

I was on Star Wars.com and looking at the schedule for the Star Wars events and the mentioned that they will be having an event in which they will show off the new Star Wars LEGO Visual Dictionary. I'm not going this year, but out of curiosity, does this mean LEGOscum is going to be there?

[cfl_sw]

It will be nice to get a better look at the tantive IV (maybe some new figures). I myself am very curious what the new themes will be like

[ILikePi]

Yay! I can't wait to see the interior of the Tantive IV!

I got mines for thursday afew months ago. I wanted to get for all four days but it was already sold out. So you gotta get them as soon as they are up for sale.

do you mean there is ANY pics of the tantive iV ?

[The Brain]

What pics?

[Solo]

do you mean there is ANY pics of the tantive iV ?

There was an image of it, but it was removed at the request of LEGO. Rest assured as soon as we can post better images, we will.

[bigj22]

If it Tantive IV ) has any minifigs, I bet Captain Antilles will be one. Here are my guesses on the minifigs.

Captain Antilles
Leia
2 Rebel Troopers
2 Stormtroopers
Vader
R2 D2 & C3PO ?
Just my opinion though.

[Plo]

bet ya 300 bucks the toy story lego has something to do with the 3rd toy story movie in 2010

[Master Fetty]

No way? A film liscence linking to a new film? Plo you astound me with your insight.
