10th Anniversary without Padme

[MrCRskater]

10th Anniversary set? Have we seen anything labeled as such yet?

Yes, we have. The 8017 Darth Vader's TIE is advertised as a 10th anniversary set, look at the box art. Also, preliminary images of the upcoming Mid-scale Millennium Falcon hint that it might also be a 10th anniversary set. It's doubtful at this point that we'll be getting any EP I sets this year.

I just want that Geonosis Padme with the white ripped skintight battle shirt. Seriously the women is hot! Not to mention she was the leading lady in all 3 pt movies! WHY did they not toss her in the first gunship?!?! Then again ,they are probably thinking of little kids with cuttie mentality, not collectors.

Also now they wait until their only option is to throw her in a ugly cartoon set, rather than the normal beauty she is.

There needs to be a arena set before the line is up that way I could have a much needed jango, and Padme!

If they do release another fig, it would be rather nice for them to release a normal version before they thought of a CW version. I would much rather have a mini-fig version of Natalie Portman than a mini-fig version of, who's idea was it to represent Natalie Portman with this digital persona. I'm sorry but her character/voice in the CW cartoons is annoying. Not to mention shes completely retarded. "I've been sent here on an important diplomatic mission from reliable sources, oh wait what's that giant seperatists battle ship heading for my face? wtf?"

since that awful podracer set

That was a great set!

I agree! (especially since I have it) But I also agree with the OP on that there ought to be more with her in it. But please, make it Padme as Natalie Portman, not Padme as a silly cartoon thing. (I don't really like those minifigs.)

On reply to a post I saw somewhere but I'm too lazy to find it, Padme is actually the most accurate shot in Star Wars. I mean, every karking shot is a headshot! Not even Han Solo is that good!

But, yeah, it's pretty lame for TLG to be celebrating anything without this drool fuel from the prequels. Also, she's kinda important, being the mother of the savior of the galaxy and all.

I don't care whether she's "CW fugly" or not, I just think that they should do one of each so that we have a choice.

Personally, I'm a very big Natalie Portman and Padme fan. I think that she was a serviceable female lead in the prequel trilogy among a sea of bad acting (mainly from Hayden Christensen). If Lego can give us Leia, why not Padme? As far as I remember, the only Padme figure was with the Episode I Podracing set. Since we have a Slave Leia minifig, there's no reason Lego shouldn't give us one of the fan-service outfit of the prequel trilogy (the Arena Battle outfit of course, what do you think I'm talking about?) Padme also has scores of beautiful gowns. Padme could easily come with one of her smaller Starships or be thrown into a Bail Organa speeder set. I don't care that she doesn't seem to fit into any saleable Star Wars sets, give us more Padme!!!

Wait, she's Obama's mama?!

Well played, sir, well played

*snicker*

Ahem. Sorry. Let's leave this vein of the conversation and get back on topic, okay?

[Daz Hoo]

I guess LEGO doesn't feel any pressure to give us a Padmé minifig, since Star Wars sets seemed to be selling like warm and moist cupcakes these days. Why bother creating a brand new minifig when Star Wars sets almost sell out by themselves?

Maybe in a year or so, when the recession will be at its worst and sets will no longer sell well that LEGO will bother to give the fans what they've been asing for so long.

Great example! Also, jawas.

Hey, I didn't say the 2009 sets (already here and to come) weren't any good. In fact, the sets are really great IMHO, and the way they are selling, many seems to be agreeing with me.

But the fact remains that a Padmé minifig would only be an "added incentive" to any Star Wars set, but right now, there's no need for that since sets are selling well.

I love that comment, not only is she "drool fuel" for being hot, but she's hot and amazing with a blaster. Instant equation for man drool.

But why not just to sell that much better?

[Daz Hoo]

That's what I'm saying. They don't need to sell any better. The SW sets are already selling out more rapidly than LEGO can produce them. Hence there isn't a need right now for that "added incentive".

[Ty55]

Well nothing is sold out here where I live so I guess I just didn't see it from your point of view. We still have plenty of stuff that could sell here.

[GIR3691]

Thanks for that.

I'll try and save this bump. Since we've seen the 2010 assortment, it looks like we still won't be getting a Padme for a while.

[Mr.legoman123]

How about an Ep III pregers Padme giving birth to Luke and Leia?

[natespizer]

Better yet a EP III delivery room playset with Padme , 2 little babies a delivery robot, Obi wan and Yoda!

haha
