only thing I’m spending on this is the 45 seconds of my time it took to show that *&^%$! decal sheet.
No kidding.
The T-47 is one of my favorite ships from Star Wars, and this looks like a really great build. I hate stickers and builds that really only look complete with them, I wish LEGO understood that if I was going to fork over $200 for a set I don’t want to spend half the build worried about placing stickers. Also price per part is really off, I see only a few parts I don’t have already and it’s clear the Minifigures are added only to entice collectors of rare figs.
I honestly wonder how much of a price increase it would be for them to print those huge info panels. It might add a few dollars, but for sets that are extremely expensive and supposed to be high quality, I’d probably be willing to pay for a fully printed set of pieces as opposed to relying on sticks.
Well it’s not the set we wanted (still holding out on that Falcon) but at least it’s not an Assault on Hoth catastrophe.
Awesome. My favorite ship from all the films, it holds a special place in my heart. I was nine years old and asked for the Kenner Snow Speeder for Christmas. I got it, and remember playing out in the snow all day with it. I’ve picked up every Lego speeder and have never been disappointed. Maybe because I’m a little biased, but whenever someone complains about any Lego product, I just find it amusing.
My brother got it for Christmas one year. It was supposed to have left and right guns, engines, and thrusters. He got two sets of the same side, and for some reason nobody ever thought to call and ask for replacement parts. We just tried to make do, even though the parts on one side kept falling off because the tabs weren’t locking in correctly.
This is cool and all, but I wish they would do a UCS building that is actually decent.
I’m really looking forward to this one. Time to replace my model on my office desk
Who are the pilots? It’s not Luke and Dak….
Zev Senesca is the only one with an all black helmet like this. Because of the rebel symbols on the other on, I also thought of Luke at first but his “mohawk stripe” is different, so I am guessing it is more of a general pilot design.
I dunno. They have released good ol’ Zev before, and his helmet isn’t all black. Dirty, yes. But that’s not his helmet design above. I cannot find that design anywhere. It must be in some obscure Legends material…
The design LEGO previously used for Zev’s helmet doesn’t resemble anything, while this seems quite close to me http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/b/b2/ZevSenescaHS-TESB.png/revision/latest?cb=20130219053912
It’s got the back stripe with a metallic grey block at the front, and the curved white stripes with inverted chevrons on the sides. It’s also missing the red Rebel symbols that Nala’s helmet clearly has. I think we have a winner. Finding the other helmet is going to be a much tougher job, since there are _so_many_ Rebel pilots who have white helmets with red Rebel symbols. The only distinctive marking on that one is basically the grey stripe down the center. On a guess, it should logically be Kit Valent, Zev’s gunner at Hoth, but the only pictures I can find of him show him without his helmet on, or from behind and a bit below where you can’t see the parts of the helmet that the Rebel symbol or the grey stripe would be located. It is white, however, and lacks the inverted chevron stripes, so at the very least it can’t be ruled out like all of the pilots who got named within the movie.
D’oh! I just realized the helmetless headshot shows that Kit has a thick moustache, while the second minifig does not. It could be just a case where the only reference photos they were able to get were the helmet, or that they chose to use the same head to eliminate an element. Or they might have put in a mixed pair of characters (either two pilots or a pilot and a gunner who was paired with a different pilot).
Just found this image of Rogue 7 Nala Hetsime, which would still mean there are two pilots and no gunner (which isn’t what the press release states). http://www.starwars-universe.com/images/multimedia/Images/CCG%20-%20TCG/CCG/Jedi_Knights_CCG/03-masters_of_the_force/012-nalahetsimet47pilot.jpg
I have issues with this, as well. The “caution tape” looking section on the tip of the helmet has been reproduced for other pilots that share that detail, so I doubt they would have skipped it here for this guy. Also, black stripe in the middle isn’t the same.
Still the closest thing I could come up with, since they mentioned in the video it should be possible to recognize these guys.
Nala’s helmet looks like it could just be a dirty white helmet in that image.
Out of all the Lego Star Wars vehicles that could have been re-released, this one disappoints me.
What would you rather have? Just curious.
UCS Millennium Falcon, is the one I really want. Everything else just pales in comparison.
The Original Trilogy vehicles/playsets are my favorite and I think the Snowspeeder is well done. However, it just does not appeal to me like a starfighter, a detailed playset, or an AT-AT might. A UCS Jabba’s Palace, would be cool.
Actually, as long as I am day-dreaming about new sets, an UCS Cloud City playset trumps everything! Except the UCS Falcon, of course. I need that to land at Bespin and then for the pursuit of Slave 1.
Yeah, no.
For the price it should have had primarily printed pieces rather than stickers and more than two figures. The build seems ‘ok’ but wobbly – pretty sure the new window piece is going to be used for Zane’s vehicle in the Ninjago movie line-up… so in essence they only have a few printed computer pieces in the interior which we already have tons of variants of =/
Most UCS sets(or at least, the oversized ones) only have two to three minifigures. I don’t know why you were expecting more…
In order to keep costs from getting out of hand and resulting in a third annual loss being posted, they have a hard limit on the number of elements they can have in production at any point. Printed elements count against that total, so if they do printed left and right versions of the same part, that’s two element slots taken up (plus a third, if the unprinted version is also being used in that or any other set). Sticker sheets are a way to add a ton of detail without blowing the budget on unique elements.
The only problem I see is it looks like they used that garbage white sticker stock, which means you better make sure you get the stickers pressed down _firmly_, and keep it away from any source of sunlight, or the stickers will probably start to peel up and dissolve into dust. It’s too bad they aren’t willing to use clear sticker stock for UCS sets because as long as you aren’t applying them with dirty hands, or around pets, those have no long-term problems. Press them down firmly, and after a few days you won’t even see any fingerprints. Besides that, you can also use them on different colors without them looking weird.
Looking forward to getting this, but hopefully just the appetiser before the main course on the run up to Christmas…
That is good they builded a Lego Stars Wars large Snowspeeder of (75144) se and they bring back the Lego Star Wars large Snowspeeder because they us to sell the Lego Star Wars old large Snowspeeder in since 2003 or 2002 like those early 2000’s something.
