New sets for 09

Giant Agents double helicopter: WANT. It's a rare year when LEGO releases not one but TWO things I absolutely love on sight. Also, the bank robbery agents set (the one with the boats) has an awesome new dynamite piece that is about 100 times better than the printed tile one.

Do you mean the AT-TE? If so, the dropship will hold that too.

As I recall, the AT-AT landers used by the Empire resembled flying boxes. Those would be easy to make out of LEGO, but they probably wouldn't have much appeal.

Aie! No no! The real carriers resemble star destroyers and can carry FIVE! Hence the five walksers at hoth.

I think the coolest one is the boat set.

there were way, WAY more than five ATATs at Hoth. What you see is simply the first WAVE of Imperial units rolling in. The re-re-re-make of Episode V (Fan-made and awesome. Look up Star Wars: Revisited series) reflects this.

Clones bred for battle, giant fortress of gore and spikes, missiles mounted on a spy car shooting at a helicopter, Oh yea, Lego is pacifist. Its so obvious I feel stupid for not realizing it. Silly me -.-
Buncha hypocrites. Why couldn't THEY have taken the Halo license?

Oh, wait, im looking at this all wrong. That Robot is obviously a very aggressive pizza delivery boy that has a portable pizza cooker and he just accidently left it on while picking up the client to give him the pizza personally.

Wait, no, its gotta be child aspirations. Everyone knows Lego's wants to encourage good child play. Thats why we should all have bad guys stealing money. Or better yet, we should all build our own remote control robot army =)

Its a good day to control the world.

The fan-made version reflects it? Then it must be canon!

On a side-note, holy crap they are putting out a lot of Clone Wars sets lately. Maybe it's because all the toy-maker shows were this month or something, but every day it seems like I'm seeing pics of new sets. It feels like they are putting out a lot more this year all at once.

Actually, yeah. This guy went and messed with all kinds of tiny details that Lucas screwed up on to make it stay canon (changing badges on uniforms to show proper ranks, making Han shoot first again, etc.), while ALSO making it just flat out look better (he literally retouched the color FRAME BY FRAME, jesus christ). It's definitely worth seeing.

Giant evil robot ftw! Very nice '50-s sci-fi looking.

Nothing says "Fear me!" like a steamroller of 113' Tall 100 Tonne walkers coming at ya.
