OFFICIAL 2004 Set News/Rumors

[Diddly]

Woah... I'm in shock. This looks awesome!

New Falcon

That new Falcon is sweet!  I was never able to pick it up when it was out in stores (never showed up anywhere by me).  Hopefully this one won't be too hard to acquire.

Mods, if you could merge this thread with the other threads (Cloud City, Dagobah, and the Millenium Falcon/UCS Snowspeeder threads).

Tim from FBTB reports:

While I'm waiting on details about the January 2004 assortment, I can tell you this; if you scroll down the left hand column and check out your most wanted sets listing from our last survey, you may go ahead and cross one of those off the list . . .

Which means we are getting one of the following:

1. Sandcrawler
2. Jabba's Sail Barge
3. UCS Mil. Falcon
4. Mos Eisley Cantina
5. Tauntaun Patrol

COOL!

Hey, why not make me the Official JD Lego guy?

[Mikey D]

My guess would be the Sandcrawler.  There was a prototype pic that leaked out about a year and a half ago and my guess is Lego has been holding it until a good time (read: until after the AT-AT was released).

[chuckles]

I'd like to see the Sandcrawler too but I'm thinking maybe not just yet. He has given other clues as to what it might be stating something about a past set being rereleased as part of a bigger set. So possibly the Mos Eisley Cantina with a redone Landspeeder included. However I would gladly take any of the 5 sets on that list.

[Diddly]

Looks like we're getting a rereleased Vader's TIE, and a rereleased Snowspeeder.

I like!

[dustrho]

I saw those pictures earlier tonight, and I must say I like the original Snowspeeder better than these.  But then again, the designs on the newer Snowspeeder could change when it's released.

[dustrho]

Check out the new pictures of the Mos Eisley Cantina set with Sandtrooper on Dewback and a newly re-tooled Landspeeder at FBTB.net.

And they have also announced four new MINI-LEGO's...

   - 4492 MINI Star Destroyer
   - 4493 MINI Sith Infiltrator
   - 4494 MINI Imperial Shuttle
   - 4495 MINI AT-TE

WOW!  

[DSJ™]

Sweet!    

[Mikey D]

Nice, I'll be picking them all up

[Diddly]

You beat me to it! The sets look awesome! Though I wish they would show more pics of the cantina. Greedo an a Sandtrooper/Dewback? COOL! The mini line looks nice too. But why include the same old minifigs from the original Snowspeeder with the new one?

[Diddly]

New Mini Pics have hit FBTB! Check it out! The Star Destroyer looks to be the weakest of the bunch, but I love the Shuttle! No bonus though.

[dustrho]

Those Mini's look outstanding!  Can't wait for those bad boys to come out!
