2011 Star Wars Rumour Topic

Great work getting the January releases' pics... even though I saw this an hour ago on EB...

Nah, ai keed...(ai luv lolspeak!)

Cheers and try to find more pics if you don't mind, Burman, we need the scoop!

Wow. Those sets look amazing. (Except for The Halo, The T-6, and the V-Wing.) I'll buy at least three BPs, each.

Burman wrote:New Pictures of this years New Star Wars Wave-

Wow! Nice pics! I hope I can get one of these sets :-D

I have dibs on the Imperial V-Wing! (I need to finish up my Astromech collection.) A silver astromech is cool. I am probably going to get the Mando Battle Pack, as well as the "Battle of Naboo". Those are my 3 favorites.

Even though I'm mostly only an OT fan I will be buying at least one of each battlepack, Battle of Naboo, and Imperial V-Wing. I need to get some of this year's OT sets first.

I wonder where the nice pics of the Battle for Geonosis and Mace's JSF are.

Did anyone notice the new pistols with the Bounty Hunter and Battle Pack sets? I like them, better than the CW ones. They look like Solo Blasters.

Yay! They Finally pit up new weapons! The old ones where really unrealistic to Star Wars. I hope I can get the mandolorian battle pack, but I wish they made a set from an acklay because I love acklay :)

I can tell that you love acklay.

Yeah, I thought so too. Finally a good blaster for Han Solo, even if they aren't exactly like his.
Better than the tap piece or the first CW pistol.

Yeah, they look like short versions of the regular Clone Wars Blaster. But they look a little squished....

Millennium Falcon (!), Ewok Attack (!), Geonosian Starfighter, Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator, Dathomir speeder (?), Republic frigate and the Podracers all confirmed!

Sources:
Millennium Falcon (click the link)
The rest of the sets (click the set numbers here)

~ General Magma

Thanks, GM. Those sound great. The Geonosian Starfighter and Frigate.

Ewok Attack set comes with: 3 ewoks, 2 scout troopers, catapult and a speederbike.

Republic Frigate comes with 2 Republic officers, Anakin Skywalker and Admiral Wulff Yularen.

Thanks, again, GM, for the wonderful news!

YES!! Ewoks! Thanks for the news.

Looks like the guy had the wrong info put on.
I guess this would be the right info:

The Republic frigate is a Consular-class Frigate. Captain Zak, Thire, Jek, Rys, Yoda and 2 clone pilots.

Podracer figures are just Anakin and Sebulba.

He also said that there'd be a Naboo cruiser: Padme, Jar Jar Binks and C-3PO are included.

New set rumor: The Malevolence, $350 (uhh, how big again?)
General Grievous, 2 firefighter battle droids, Count Dooku, 3 rocket battle droids, Pod hunter "Squeezer" (what is this?), 3 battle droids, Plo Koon, Sinker and Wolffe.

I feel like something's wrong. Is this a wishlist or what? The amount of figures is... kinda ridiculous.
But it could be true.

Hopefully it turns out the Ewok Attack info was wrong too, and that there is a stormtrooper and a rebel commando included... but I doubt it...

(Insert jaw-dropping emoticon) Wow. Thanks. Source, though?

Here's a pic of the 'squeezer'

I highly doubt we will get the Malevolence and the Frigate in one wave. Too much.

Someone that appears to know everything about the upcoming sets (he's not allowed to tell anything though,
he's just hinting stuff) hinted a Geonosis set way earlier this year. That was true. (He's a moderator for the Star Wars subforum over on Eurobricks, by the way)

He recently said that he'd need more sources than some guy who says stuff, which leads me to believe
that the Malevolence will never be released. Same goes for that Naboo cruiser and the red Y-Wing and AAT stuff. Don't count on those to be released.

The only things that are real are the ones from that website (a store, by the way), including the Millennium Falcon, Ewok Attack, Dathomir speeder, Sith Infiltrator etc. So, we'll have to wait and see what we'll get.

I'm looking forward to pictures.

~ General Magma

And I was right.

The person who received this information started to disbelieve the guy aswell,
and asked Greg Hyland whether the list was true or not. (Greg Hyland is the person who knows about the summer 2011 sets, and has a few prototypes - he creates the storyboards for the commercials.)
He couldn't say anything about the new sets, but he said that list of the guy made him laugh.

All has been proven, we won't get no Naboo cruiser, no red Y-Wing and a new AAT, no Malevolence and we will not be getting a Consular-class frigate either.

We'll be getting the Millennium Falcon, Ewok Attack, Dathomir speeder, podracers, Sith Infiltrator, Republic frigate (not consular), etc., though.

One word: Bummer

Well, since the guy provided us with fake information, there's still hope that the Ewok Attack will have more to it.

Endor rebel troopers? Stormtroopers?

Sorry, but that's exacly what I [i]don't want[i]. I'm strictly a CW fan, and I like AoTC and RoTS, too

Ah, well, I like the OT much better..
I didn't really like the prequels, except for some bits here and there.

With the exception of RotS, of course, since that one was actually really good.
But I'll go for the OT, nonetheless..

The Millennium Falcon could be from RotJ.

~ General Magma

Has the retailer for Mace's JSF and The Battle For Geonosis been named since they are exclusives?

They're out at the Toys R Us website! Just ordered 1 mando Pack, one Clone pack, and Battle of naboo for Christmas. (behind that mask, Vader is smiling )

It's great that they're here already. This also counts for my country, for the first time.
Tomorrow I'm going to get 7929 Battle of Naboo right away, I want to be the first one to make a review..

~ General Magma

I really doubt they're in my country, even if they are I ain't really interested in SW anymore, I might get the Jedi Shuttle though

Good, I've wanted to see a review up. I'm going to wait to open them for Christmas.

I can't wait to see that review. I want to see what the republic frigate looks like so bad.

There is a rumor that a Republic Frigate will come out this Summer

I don't get why getting the 2011 sets early is big deal. Everyone's eventuly going to get them.

Yeah, but some people *hintcoughMEcoughhint* like to buy them early, and sell them for a ton on eBay......
Just saying. But I also want to get some early, for no particular reason.

I wanted them early because I want(ed) to get them for Christmas.

New pictures up: (Sadly no pics for wave 2 yet..)

Thanks, GM.

The STAPs look new to me.

I just noticed that the visor on the BST is shorter than the regular CW CTs.









Hint: Look t the part of the helmet where you can attach the visor, floodlights, rangefinder, etc.

Can someone tell me which one is canon? I've seen pics of both examples.

*snips rest of post*

Apparently, the rest of the clonetroopers suffer the same issue. I don't know why they did it, but it doesn't look good to me. They wouldn't be able to blend in well with the other clonetroopers now anymore.

New pictures of The Battle for Geonosis:





~ General Magma

And the final pictures we'll get for wave 1, Mace Windu's JSF:



That tactical droid actually looks great.

~ General Magma

Sorry, triple post so far.

More news has hit the surface!
Check out the following links for preliminary pictures of Star Wars wave 2:

Millennium Falcon and Republic Frigate
The rest (except for GSF and EA)
The pictures with minifigs discovered so far

Better pictures of the Geonosian starfighter and Ewok attack yet to come.

~ General Magma

Falcon? YES!
Ewok Attack? YES!
Non-CW PT Sets? YES!

Faclon and Ewok Attack are my favourites! Can't wait for them. Finally I will have a FALCON!

I wish I didn't have the sith infiltrator, then I could get the new one with Padmé!

I've got my eye on the Falcon, the Frigate, the podracers(even though not as much) the genosian fighter and the dathomir speeder, I NEED ASAJJ VENTRESS!(plus I hope the new Anakin's face isn't clone wars and I want Savage Opress)

I've wanted a falcon for SOOOOO LOONG I even made my own, I have it right next to me, once I get the new one those pieces will go to a good cause, MODIFYING IT SO IT HAS TWO COOL LOOKING TURRETS!

Cheers, happy holidays and keep up the good work finding these!

Same here! That Millennium Falcon is the best of this wave.
That's seriously on top. Fantastic set.

Yes, I've been wanting a Falcon for a long time and the 4504 has been way to expensive and Midi-Scale isn't going to happen. This one looks much better too!

And something like an Ewok battle pack? YES!

Yes, I'm wanting to buy this the fist chance I get.

Shame the photographer took bad pics of the SW. He missed two sets. He took several good pictures of castle and that's it.

WOW! Just.. WOW! 2 new ewoks, new Padme, new Naboo Royal Guard, new Asajj Ventress, new Anakin, new Savage Opress, new young Anakin, new Obi-Wan (young), new Darth Maul, new Sebulba, new Ki-Adi-Mundi, new Geonosian, new Eeth Koth and Quinlan Vos, new Watto, new Sebulba, new young Rodian, new princess Leia, new Luke Skywalker... I'm not kidding. This is the best year for LEGO Star Wars minifigures - ever! Holy moly. Here are pictures of all of them:
(Remember to click "all sizes" to see it better.)

Clicky 1
Clicky 2

I just hope they will fix the greenish tint on the Geonosian.

There are also new rumors around. Most likely to be true:

7958 Star Wars Advent Calendar
7877 Naboo Fighter
7879 Hoth Echo Base

Note to self: buy 50 ewok attacks.

Mace's JSF Looks kinda wierd.The pattern on the wings look blocky somehow. I'll still get it.

I was recently on Lego.com, on the shop, and my pre-def country was USA, you boys already can order the SW January sets, including the limted edition sets.(I was on my Wii, though,[internet channel] and that might show some diferent results, I switched the country to PT and, when on the product page, it shows the set for order, but is you aren't already in the product page and you search for it, you'll have no luck)

I'm asking for the T6 shuttle, the bounty hunter ship and maybe Mace's starfighter/ a few BPs/ a Republic gunship with no figs for my birthday.(I'm also finally getting my pajamas, my grandma forgot to give 'em to me for x-mas XD)
