Thats really odd, the pilot droid has
a skeleton leg instead of a head. I also
really like dooku's speeder and head, I think
the head only looks good with the hood on
though. Confused

I think the solar sailor its self actually looks like it might
be fun to build Smile

and I also like the fact that the set comes with 2
Magna Guards!

Well, I really want this set now. It doesn't look that bad and I'm sure I could fashion some sort of sail.

Dooku doesn't look bad either. I kind of like the face. It's better than just making him an Obi-wan head dressed in dark brown/black. It's scary, but he's a Sith.

Plus, I almost bought the Magnaguard starfighter to get the minifigs. Now I can get them in this set. Very Happy

Any idea of price in the US anyone?

I thought somewhere it was rumored the price would be between $39.99-$59.99 U.S. Which seems about right.

I was looking at Lego Shop at Home and saw that Ahsoka's Starfighter was officially released, so I got excited and looked at it. Then I nearly dropped dead...

It's $39.99--for essentially the same set of Anakin's old Jedi Starfighter and Vulture Droid. Not worth the money.

It's not available yet, at least in the US, but S@H now has a listing for the Solar Sailor...

I think Dooku's face doesn't look too ugly. And I like the new hair piece.

But the price differences in Europe scare me Wink

80 Euro in Netherlands, 39 Pounds (which is right now about 40 Euro) in UK.

The hair doesen't really resemble Dooku's hair, either in the CW series or in the movie... It would've been better white and Palps'.

Other thread on this was closed...but I noted that someone on Brickset said they got this set at WalMart. It's not in the US yet ?

Don't hold your breath. Interiors are normally not the focus point of a ship and thus don't have the same care put into them.

Huh, looks pretty cool. When I first saw it I immediatly thought of the vulture droid magnified.
I think Dooku looks pretty legit with that face. Nice improvement.

From first glance Dooku looked like he had boobs Razz

Very nice find Grievous. The cockpit is pretty terrible looking. But there isn't alot of room to work with in there.

Is it just me, or are the pics that I've seen of Dooku's new saber revealing of an actual chrome hilt?

Too bad we didn't get the prototype solar sailor that Lego previewed back when Ep. 2 came out. It looked bigger and a little better.

And those man-breasts on Dooku are kinda scary.

Care to have a link to said prototype?

That was an MOC, not a prototype.

Someone merely claimed it to be a prototype, even when it's sitting in someone's house.

It's not that bad; a little sleeker.

It's hard to tell if that's nicer or worse from that angle.

It's, for one thing, larger and longer, and not as wide in relation to the length.

Just picked up this set from TRU, they had one on the shelf...and it was $59.99. Seems outrageous for the piece count, even for a limited edition set. My LEGO store told me they can't put these out until FEB 1, earliest.

Just finished building this. Did not take much time. Scale is larger than I thought...but the cockpit and tail need a lot of work. Especially the aft doors. They look unfinished, and have no ramp. I don't see any reason that if you are going to do something this size for $60, you can figure out a way to do a two seater cockpit and ramp. Overall it seems rushed as a finished piece. Figures are great, except for the head on the Droid Pilot.
