9500 Sith Fury-Class Interceptor

I prefer to announce the color to you right away, out of the question to take me another formal notice from the LEGO law firm for some supposedly confidential images when we have already seen these sets at the Nuremberg Toy Fair . 

So here's the info: A nice German dealer left his 2012 catalog hanging out again and broke his NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) by allowing the dissemination of the latest visuals of the novelties of the second wave 2012.

Note that these visuals date from before the last Toy Fair in London and Nuremberg and that the sets presented there are therefore preliminary versions prior to what we have seen in recent days. 

Click on these images which are not confidential to access the visuals if they are still available, the guy who posted them on flickr seems to have already given in to the pressure and deleted them.

I reiterate that Hoth Bricks does not host these preliminary images, no need to spam me or run and report me .... 
I am not hosting those preliminary pictures, no need to spam my mailbox or to rush to inform LEGO about that ... 

9497 Republic Striker Starfighter 

9525 Pre Vizsla's Mandalorian Fighter

9498 Saesee Tiin's Starfighter

9515 Malevolence 

9678 Twin-pod Cloud Car & Bespin 

9498 Saesee Tiin's Starfighter & 9500 Sith Fury-Class Interceptor Minifigs 

Be careful, these minifigs are obviously ultra-preliminary versions used to illustrate the visuals of the retailer catalog in question. Darth Malgus is just a vague collection of generic elements. The final minifigure will probably be a little more elaborate ... The Sith Trooper is also a hack except perhaps the helmet which promises to be epic ...

Thanks to Venator who in his comment of the previous article refers us to a beautiful MOC proposed by Pepa Quin in honor of the true-false 3D release of theEpisode I The Phantom Menace. As MOCeur explains in its commentary on flickr, the aquatic predator was designed in 2007, the Bongo also and the scene has been updated for the occasion.

The Opee is also presented in CUUSOO project by its creator, and after all, go vote, that will change us from western modulars ....

For the rest, this creation is of very high flight, it would be difficult not to recognize the talent and the know-how implemented by Pepa Quin. The Bongo with its very organic look returns the gear of the set 9499 Gungan Sub on the ropes ....

Sok117, which is no longer presented when it comes to MOCs on the Super Heroes theme, offers a staging in which Bane's new minifigure demonstrates his state of nervousness and his power. Some Gotham policemen are paying the price for this intelligently portrayed violence.

Take advantage of, the occasion to go to Sok 117 flickr gallery and discover its MOCs from batwing, batboat and Batmobile.

Also from a video posted by atamaii.com, this first photo of the set 9496 Desert Skiff unveils a Boba Fett in a new version with screen-printed legs, and armed with a laser gun on which is mounted a black lightsaber handle.

Concerning the machine and the Sarlacc Pit which still seem very foreplay, nothing very interesting with this image and we will have to wait a little longer to get more official photos of the final product to judge ...

As a reminder, here is the official pitch of the set:

Hovering over the deadly Sarlacc Pit, Luke prepares to meet his fate aboard the Desert Skiff. Will he be made to walk the plank and be eaten by the ferocious Sarlacc? Or will his friend Lando Calrissian help him escape the clutches of the renowned bounty hunter, Boba Fett? You decide! Includes 4 minifigures: Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian, Boba Fett and Kithaba. (213 pieces)
