Ideas for future "Planet" sets

Postby captaintau » Sat Feb 18, 2012 3:50 pm

So I've bought all three planet sets. In the Naboo review thread I said I was divided about them. Being short of money and having LEGO withdrawal, I've bought all of them over a period of a few weeks. In the end, I'm actually quite impressed, although unsure as to where they fit, sales-pitch wise. On the one hand they are obviously display sets, not playable so for AFOLs rather than kids. On the other hand they're so cheap and so in child-friendly budget.

Anyway, I digress.

The boxes clearly state "Series One," so what is likely or what would we like for future series?

- Episode One
-- We have Naboo and Tatooine. The only other one is Coruscant but that's better served for Eps Two or Three

- Episode Two
-- Coruscant with any local airspeeder you choose, potentially a mini version of Anakin's airspeeder
-- Kamino with mini Slave I or Delta-7
-- Geonosis with mini anything from either army

- Clone Wars
-- Take your pick
-- Malastare with a mini Zillo beast could be cool
-- Dathomir with a local speeder

- Episode Three
-- Coruscant with mini anything you like from the space battle
-- Utapau with Grievous' Starfighter or an Eta-2
-- Mustafar with a Naboo shuttle
-- Kashyyyk with something Wookie

- Episode Four
-- We have Tatooine and the Death Star
-- Yavin IV with an X-Wing?

- Episode Five
-- Hoth with anything from either army
-- I can't see how Bespin could be done
-- Dagobah!

- Episode Six
-- Endor with something Ewok
-- Tatooine has been done
-- Dagobah!
- The Death Star II

What do we think? Have I missed anything?

Excellent list Cap. BTW I edited your post to put spaces in between episodes for better readability ;)

The only ones that come to mind in the CW are:
* Toydaria with ? and king Katuunko
* Orto plutonia with speeder and ?
* Ryloth with whatever vehicule and twilek
* Mandalore with pre Vizla fighter and mando

I really hope thatthis planet series will be extended :geek:

That's great. But how are they going to do Bespin? It's a gas giant that all we see of is clouds.

This is how ... (2 of the 3 look pretty dull ... but they're not the reason I'd buy these sets ... they're scenery to me)

Thanks Bigos. Yes...
Yavin looks dull and it's another mini X-Wing not unlike the last one
Bespin looks dull. I would hope for Cloud City to be on there somewhere. But having a Lobot again is a great thing and we've never had a mini cloud car
Endor looks good, but it's another AT-ST not unlike the last one.

I'll get them. But I agree that they aren't exactly exciting

I am pretty sure the Yavin 4 planet set and Bespin are prelimianry and not yet printed. :)
