Spum Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 i saw a commercial for a lego swtor product. (the sith fury) swtor is trying to hold on as much as they can, so they went to lego, sure star wars has a running contract with lego, but this is bioware and EA. i dont know, it just dosnt seem like them to do something like that. More that half of lego products are intended for 12 and under, im not saying lego is not for older people, but do they really want to advertise the game to such a young group? thought comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing special about it really. Lego has been doing StarWars themed products for years. Just about every new Star Wars property gets a Lego tie-in. Books being the only exception that I am aware of.

Alec_Fortescue Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I bought myself the Fury (99 quid :/) and I am looking forward to more sets! Especially Defender and with, perhaps, Ven Zallow figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setsugetsuka Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I bought myself the Fury (99 quid :/) and I am looking forward to more sets! Especially Defender and with, perhaps, Ven Zallow figure. Rumors so far don't indicate we'll be getting another big ship, at least not until the later half of 2013, potentially. However, the first wave of sets in 2013 will be a SWTOR battlepack which will have two Republic Troopers and two Sith Troopers. Apparently.

Tuscad Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) They need to make action figures, they would make a killing selling just the Dark Council members, imagine having figures for all of the main characters!

TheBBP Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 swtor is trying to hold on as much as they can The TOR Legos, as well as action figures, were found out before the game launched. Take your tinfoil hat off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hessen Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) They are making figures. HERE is one. Surely either the warning in the top right should say under 4 instead of under 3, or the age should be ages 3 and up. Shambles.

Ohamsie Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Ooooh, I'm excited for Old Republic action figures. I'm still annoyed I missed out on all the KOTOR figures, and they're all ridiculously expensive on ebay now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleet_Xia Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Pictures of the TOR fury set were leaked to the web 4 months before the game launched. The source was a wholesale toy catalog provided to European toy stores. http://www.fbtb.net/ Legos + Star Wars FTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_megabyte Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Sith ship first and everything else later by a mile? More Empire bias. They've really pulled out all the stops to get people to play on the side that's guaranteed to lose, led by a species destined for extermination.

Darth-Rammstein Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 star wars makes most of its money from merchandise...think about it, what other movie has had that big of an impact on kids that they could sell the same toys 35 years later....granted it's probably not as big anymore since the films are over but they still have a market for lego products and maybe clone wars as well.

They are free to license out the rights to make toys, clothing, books, whatever based on them to whomever they choose. Bioware and EA have absolutely nothing to do with it.
