SPOILER THREAD: The Last Jedi Set Discussion

[The_Chosen_1]

Well, it was bound to happen sometime! Leaked pics of some Episode VIII sets have shown up online.

The pics aren't particularly spoilery, but here they are: https://imgur.com/a/kWIUH#SQAfXZo

I'll probably get the FO Star Destroyer and Heavy Assault Walker. I think we still have another six or so sets to be revealed for The Last Jedi. No wonder the summer wave is so skimpy with all of these coming out in September.

 

[Jeremy]

Thanks for posting the link. Let's keep pics to a minimum. For anyone who wants to know but not see the images:

75188 Resistance Bomber - as seen in The Last Jedi teaser trailer at 1:33, this space vehicle has a Falcon-like cockpit at the front of a short and thick body and ends in a pair of tail cannons and a gunner's bubble. A solid ventral fin extends vertically below the cockpit and terminates in a similar cannon that is at the fuselage's tail, which has thin horizontal winds either side of it. Overall the set depicts a clunky looking ship that has a distinctly utilitarian appearance. The included minifigures are a Resistance Bomber Pilot in orange flight suit with a pistol and a white helmet that includes a visor, a Resistance Bombardier in an orange flight suit and a tan, visorless helmet with a pistol, Vice Admiral Holdo who sport a blaster while wearing a grey uniform and lilac hair, Resistance Gunner Paige (evidently a character minifig) who has an orange flight suit, blaster and a second style of visored helmet and finally Poe Dameron who is wearing brownish orange fatigues and comes with a blaster and a hair element.


75189 First Order Heavy Assault Walker - is a beefed up AT-AT and is depicted on a snowy background with ground troops at its feet. The head shows much heavier armour plating on its cheeks and brow ridge than the AT-AT's we've seen to date, and has spring-loaded shooters instead of the regular chin guns while the roof of the head is hinged and opens to expose a cockpit with a single minifigure in it. The front of the body has an open area with a forward mounted cannon and a side hatch that lowers to form a ledge where a minifig can be placed. The legs are armoured at the shoulder and the front of the shin are articulated at three points- shoulder, knee and ankle. The box art shows a small crate on the ground. The minifig that come with this set are Rey in the same outfit she wore in the trailer (0:12) and a long ponytailed hair element and a blue lightsaber, Resistance Trooper with light brown uniform and yellow visored helmet and pistol, Captain Poe Dameron with dark brown legs in a dark brown vest, covering a white shirt and carryies a blaster, a First Order Walker Driver armed with a blaster and wearing a white helmet decorated with a grey Ziggy Stardust flash and a grey uniform that has a white chest plate, and finally a stock First Order Stormtrooper with a pistol.


75190 First Order Star Destroyer - looking very similar to The Finalizer from The Force Awakens, it is shown above a planet and is firing on a Resistance Bomber. Though the box art doesn't show much detail about this set, the box does show that there are four stud launchers on either side of the superstructure which appears to be hinged so that the hull can be opened up to expose the interior, much like 75055 Imperial Star Destroyer. The minifigs that are included are First Order Officer which closely resembles the unarmed First Order Officer that came with 75101 First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter but in dark bluish grey and sporting a blaster, First Order Shuttle Pilot who, in his black uniform, helmet and blaster , could be mistaken for the 9492 TIE Fighter's Death Star Trooper, a stock First Order Stormtrooper with pistol, a First Order Stormtrooper Sergeant who has a white pauldron rank designation, Supreme Leader Snoke in a yellow jumpsuit and BB-9E who could be mistaken for an undercover BB-8.

The teaser trailer was underwhelming for me. But I like the Resistance Bomber, lots of cool features and Poe Dameron!

 

[INDY]

The leader of the first order is.....Goldmember!?!?

 

[Hell_Hawk_33]

The leader of the first order is.....Goldmember!?!?

Evidently.

I was expecting him to be tall and gangling, not a normal human size.

 

[Jeremy]

The leader of the first order is.....Goldmember!?!?

Schnoke and a pancake anyone?

I was expecting him to be tall and gangling, not a normal human size.

He's the man behind the curtain, like the Wizard of Oz.

 

[Jabbaman]

Not sure I like a wrinkly old man in a gold bathrobe. The First Order BB unit looks cool though.

 

[Jeremy]

The First Order BB unit looks cool though.

BB-9E - the E is for Evil

 

[Grayghost2482]

Am I right in reading these are coming out this fall?

 

[Jeremy]

Yes. September 1st:

[Montross]

BB-9E - the E is for Evil

Haha, nice!

 

[ianjw77]

I think they are quite ugly....... not that impressed on these.

 

[Jeremy]

Just for the sake of it - here's a link to the post I put up on Rebelscum earlier today:

http://www.rebelscum.com/story/front/LEGO_The_Last_Jedi_Leaked_Sets_173804.asp

Sure, it's a bit late but there are good reasons (that went bad) for delaying the post. I took the extra available time to get all the images in one place and give the sets a good write-up for those who don;t want to see the pics.

 

[INDY]

I think what you did by pixelating the images was pretty clever.

 

[MARK2D2]

Where's Leia?! I'm so not kidding...

 

[The_Chosen_1]

There are still four other sets to be revealed. I'm guessing we'll get Finn, Kylo, Leia and Luke minifigures in those.

 

[DarkArtist]

the resistance bomber is the only set that holds interest for me at this time as it's a pretty cool looking ship. the Star Destroyer while cool looks like it will be massive and the back of the box that shows it opens up is meh... if I was to buy this one I'd leave it closed in destroyer mode. not liking the look of the heavy walker at all. wondering if Hasbro is going to attempt making a toy version of the walker after all the negative comments on the AT-CT toy from last year (still one of my favorite RO Toys)

75179- Kylo Ren's TIE Fighter

Can't wait to see that BB-8.

 

[Jeremy]

75179- Kylo Ren's TIE Fighter

I saw that someone added it to the list on Eurobricks so I asked where the source for this was but no-one answered.

As sketchy as any of these lists are I'm not going to update with Kylo Ren's TIE Fighter (as likely as it is there is going to be one) until someone can point me to a quote.

I figured it was Kylo's TIE as the piece count and price seemed right to me, as both are similar to the First Order TIE.

I meant the UCS BB-8.

Right, otherwise you'd have said BB-9E

 

[Hell_Hawk_33]

That's right.

Here's another new image - this time it's the First Order Shuttle Pilot with not-BB-8:

There are a couple more leaked minifig shots to come.

 

[GNT]

The mysterious Snoke looks good.

BIG NEWS HERE:

[darthisko]

WoW! Some amazing sets here, including the first Snoke lego mini-figure. My wallet's going to be burning with all the new Ep8 stuff coming.

 

[ThrawnLover]

So was the AT-ST just too convenient of a transport? Why have 2 legs when you can have 8!

Did you miss the earlier news post?

[The_Chosen_1]

A great lineup of sets....but where is Luke?!?!

I'm also a bit concerned about the lack of Chewie, Threepio and Artoo minifigs. Hopefully it isn't an omen that they aren't in the film much.

 

[GNT]

#wheresluke

Great to see some new LEGO sets to start the day off.As for Luke and the droids they'll most likely pop up in future sets.

 

[Jeremy]

#wheresluke

From the front page:

Yesterday's The Last Jedi promotional LEGO poster revealed the entire assortment of minifigs that would be included in the Force Friday (September 1st) release of sets. Click through for the master list and confirmation that the initial set release will not include Old Man Luke. Is it time to start a #wheresluke campaign?

http://www.rebelscum.com/story/front/LEGO_The_Last_Jedi_Minifig_List_174280.asp

 

[mandalore9998]

I have a feeling they're saving Luke until after the movie comes out. We've already seen him in TFA, so maybe he has a new outfit for TLJ. Hopefully we'll at least see him in action figure form on Force Friday.

 

[Jeremy]

Four - they are folded back on themselves.

 

[GNT]

Until I see it in action and hopefully get blown away, I've got to say that's a pretty horrible looking vehicle IMO.

 

[DarthMickeyMoose]

Agree with that!
