I’m really looking forward to the Vader transformation set. I might actually pick it up if the price feels justified.
Hopefully the newer battle packs are good. I wonder what they’d include that the Rogue One packs haven’t already covered. Personally, I really feel like there’s still so much more to be covered battle pack-wise from the Prequel era (it’s a shame that we don’t seem to be getting any more prequel sets).
Also, a Quadjumper set? Isn’t it a little early to be making sets out of blink-and-you-miss-it vehicles from TFA? Why not remake the TIE Bomber instead? I feel like that would have much more appeal (and use) then the Quadjumper.
Oh gosh, the colors on those renders look terrible.
On a serious note, that’s actually a really cool promo. If only TRU had a loyalty program…
Is the Y-Wing confirmed to be Rogue One inspired? I thought it’d be based off of Rebels Season 3. Also, do we know what’ll be in those battle packs?
Yes. I saw the prelims of it before they were taken down. It seems about $69.99 to $79.99, and includes 5 minifigures: Rebel pilot, a silver astromech, Moroff, what looks like Cassian Andor in his Imperial officer disguise, and one other minifigure. Also someone found a totally legit Moroff mini figure. I won’t link it, but it should be on Instagram under the account delta.customs
Rebel Battle pack includes 4 Rebels, a bazooka, a turret behind a bush, and a great new speeder bike. Imperial Battle pack includes 2 Death Troopers, 2 plain white Stormtroopers, and a small walker that looks like a microfighter version of an AT-ST
Yeah, but it was also silly when LEGO put Zev Senesca in a battle pack. It actually works out perfectly for me because I have Krennic’s shuttle and am planning to get 2 battle packs which in total would give me 6 Death troopers, which is the exact amount following Krennic in the beginning of the new trailer. I’m more surprised they included regular Stormtroopers, considering the price range of the sets they’ve been previously featured in.
I would offer evidence for the battle pack but I’d be banned for it. : P
@MavezIgnikari That’s what I hoped. Can only get 2 Shoretroopers in the Bunker Battle, which isn’t worth the $49.99 it’ll probably be.
I could live with that. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be what we’re getting.
I guess kinda. I actually really liked his inclusion though. It provided a good way to build up a decent wing of Rebel Pilots (which I really love). All you have to do is Bricklink a few different helmets from over the years.
I just hope they make an AT-ACT. It would make up for the Bunker Battle. I know you might doubt me but it is like the miniature Assault on Hoth. I will make an LDD recreation of what I remember. Until then, I will say it has only 4 minifigures (Cassian Andor without coat, Jyn Erso in Ground crew disguise though it’s unknown if she’ll have a hair piece or not, a Shoretrooper exactly like the one in the TIE Striker, and a Shoretrooper without blue water camouflage), 2 small bushes, a couple exploding/collapsing antennas, an orange storage crate, a small landing area, a small doorway that’s supposed to represent the bunker, and a tan 32x16 baseplate holding it all on it.
