_Tiler Camouflage Tumbler

He will not have waited for the release of the film The Dark Knight Rises to offer its own version of the Tumbler in camouflage mode and equipped with a retractable rocket launcher.

This is not the classic Tumbler but a widely modified version that we are offering today _Tile. Despite everything, the cockpit can accommodate a minifig, as on its previous model (You can also download the instructions in pdf format).

By the way, since LEGO unveiled a Bane minifig in TDKR version, are we going to be entitled to a set including the Tumbler?

SDCC 2012 - LEGO Star Wars Rancor Pit

And someone at YodaNews.com had to say to himself that we had to stop massacring photos with a terrible watermark in the middle.
So, yes the photos do come from their homes, yes we quote them, yes we thank them. But there is no need to add more by embedding their watermark anywhere. 

So here are a few more views of the Rancor Pit, which don't tell us much more. I'm amazed that LEGO didn't stage this set with the 9516 Jabba's Palace on the show. Maybe that will be the case during the official presentation with the press release presenting the "many" features of the set.
