Haha, I didn't know Ry switched that... Laughing

What he was linking to was the thread over on EuroBricks... Someone had found the following shots on the LEGO.com cahce then loaded them to brickshelf. So, in turn, I felt they ought to go on flickr too for your viewing pleasure... now without further adieu:

Less talky more picys!

Thanks for the tip Lotus!

I love it so much I'm going to take it behind a middle school and get it pregnant.

Also - full silver dome with new print on R2, plus several new torso designs (Vader!).

I'll probably sell off my PT sets to be able to purchase this.

This is by far one of the most incredible sets I have so far seen. They really have gone above and beyond for this. I am still in awe when I see these pics. And best of all, multiple episodes! Shocked

This will be epic.

Now, price?

People elsewhere have said US$400, but I have no idea if that's accurate.

This is the first set in a long time where I had the urge to pump my fists in the air and cheer. Thanks Don for putting those up! I'll spend the next couple of hours staring at those images. Shocked

EDIT: 24 minifigs!? Holy crap! This is going to be expensive.

-Trash Compactor
-Control Room
-Briefing Room
-Throne Room
-The Swingy Room Wink

-Prison Room
-Shield Room
-Docking Bay
-TEchnical Room
-Firing Room

And if there are any other rooms ( please go easy on me.)
This set is wicked! Very Happy

Lego Apple:" Shocked

OH..................MY........................GOSH!" Wallet:" No! Please spare me Lego Apple!" This is perhaps one of the most amazing sets I have ever seen! I have never seen a set with so many Lego Figures! I really like that New Darth Vader Torso! Shocked

Now that's a Space Station!!!

I never imagined that this long anticipated set would look like this. My expectations have been exceeded by far. Look at all the minifigures!!! Look at the new printings!!! Having scenes from Episodes 4 and 6 in the same model is pure genius. I could go on and on, but I need to gawk at the pictures some more. This AFOL will definitely add this to the collection.

Lego FTW!!!

Oh my g- That is freakin' amazing!! Shocked

I feel a little faint! Anybody notice the new palpatine head? This is just unreal! I've got to say, I didn't expect them to combine scenes from both IV, and VI, but that idea was ingenious!! I can't wait for this set's release! And the Death Star gunners! Whoo, I think I'll have to hold off on the 360 and pick this up first!

Oh, one more thing; In my not-so-humble opinion, this beats the turbolaser-pocketed pants off of the UCS set... Razz

...Looking a little closer at some of the pics, I realized that, although Threepio's color has changed, his hands are still the old color! Mad

Oh well, I guess I'll have to deduct 0.01 point off of this set's 1,000 score. Wink

On top of the BOX you can see multiples of those figures. I noted it. It just adds to the amazingness of this set.

Most astute of you. Wow. That...is a a lot of minifigs. There goes next year's LEGO budget. Even at $399, my wallet can't repel awesomeness of this magnitude.

Holy crap! That is waaaaaay more than the "Cloud-City like structure" I expected! It's like a triple layer cake of sphereical LEGO goodness. I sure hope that that monster bull-rancor of a set is more no more than 200 bucks.

Gawd...
I love R2's new head (didn't notice it at first), and I love fleshie Ben!

Leia=win, also.

My favorite quadrant, if you will, is the turbo lasers (love the design!), the final duel (finally not lil' $7 sets Wink

), and the Luke/Leia swinging scene.

I believe Bo is so excited that he's launched into a geek metaphor...and I believe he will be disappointed by the price tag. Crying or Very sad

There's even a dianoga in the trash compactor - its eye is up looking at Luke. Laughing

It's a S&H exclusive because it has 5 numerals in its set number.

Damn that's a good deathstar, you've sold me on that one but looking at it, it's going to be expensive. Well done Lego! This one you got right!
The figures will be a bonus to anyone who hasn't got them. I have to admit this has taken me by surprise by the size and detail in it, I expected rooms along the cloudcity style, but not this.
Is there any details of when it's available on Lego shop at home as this is on my wish list, and I hope lego will offer a cheaper postage rate like they did with the falcon.

Marty Very Happy
