LEGO Galaxy Squad 2013

[Draykov]

Personally, I'm a little bummed that the "blue" team seems to be more azure. I was really hoping to get that helmet in true blue. But, all in all, I'm pretty happy with what I see. This theme will definitely earn some of my money.

So has anyone else seen these at TRU Canada. Can I go tonight and buy them? Or is this Winnipeg only right now?

There was somebody else in Canada on Eurobricks that spotted them at TRU. I didn't find out which city, but it wasn't Winnipeg. But on the flipside, some people have come back empty handed.

There were no new sets at the Burlington TRU last night if that's any help... Hopefully soon

I definitely dig the color coding for the squads, the unique minifig elements on some of the bug peeps are cool too, but that's about it, same old stuff. How about some modernized Futron or Blacktron already!!!

I hope it's azure blue, I'd be really happy. I'm thinking it's actually light blue.

Here is a link to some YouTube vids of three of the sets: http://m.youtube.com/?reload=3&rdm=maoq ... tionstudio" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Flickr user 'krisproductionstudio' got his/her hands on the Space Swarmer, Vermin Vaporizer, and the Bug Obliterator:

I'm going to cool my jets on my negativity of this line after seeing higher quality pictures. Focusing on some of the human side of the sets, I can find some good in this like I did with Space Police III.

After watching a review, I have to admit 70704 (the mech) has a cool 3-in-1 vehicle. I will have to pick up that set. The 2-in-1 human head piece is really awesome. 70704 will also look better without the exterior stickers I think. Then if possible, sub blue for the green pieces and you can pretend it is a new Futuron set.

70701/70703 are interesting, if the sets break apart like 70704 or interact with each other then I'll get them. It looks like maybe the ship can hold the car when in alt mode. However, I might get them anyway since you can pretend that these are new Futuron sets without the stickers. And I will make some changes so that they can go together and break apart.

70702 is just good for the red figures. Sub blue pieces for red and it's an okay ship.

70705 (drop ship) was a good idea, but not liking the design. I think there is a good MOC in this, but I do not care for the orange.

What to do with the insects? Can I grow to love them like Starship Troopers? I do think they are neater than the SP3 and AC aliens. At least we get those canopies in trans-red (Space Police MOC reboot?). But too bad we get trans-neon-green for the other parts. (Why is it so hard to get more trans-yellow?)

[ncbarrett]

I.... (Why is it so hard to get more trans-yellow?)

We hope it is because blacktron is a soon future release,

[Buggot]

I love green Galaxy Squad (Vermin Vaporizer)
In tern, I love those sets.
Great Quality combination of androids, humans, space, and insects in my view.

[harrelmusic]

Some of these should be available at Lego stores (and S@H?) tomorrow along with some of the new City sets.

[Draykov]

Looks like some higher-res images are starting to show up on LEGO's image server.

the links to 70704 aren't working.

[Draykov]

the links to 70704 aren't working.

They work...that is, they direct to the URLs on the LEGO image server where images of 70704 should eventually reside. They're just not posted yet for some reason.

That's the best set in the line!

The blue is light blue right? It's hard to tell.

I'd like 70701 a lot more if they didn't make the thing transform and just make a regular space ship.

[Buggot]

I liked the Vermin Vaporizer the best, although it's pictures are not showing D:
Just found out it might not be cheap on LEGO's website:
70700 Space Swarmer - Price $11.99
70701 Swarm Interceptor - Price $19.99
70702 Warp Stinger - Price $29.99
70703 Star Slicer - Price $39.99
70704 Vermin Vaporizer - Price $59.99
70705 Bug Obliterator - Price $79.99

Epic NPU in the star slicer vehicle... those are Cars hood pieces (maybe Jeff Gorvette's?) in medium blue!

Galaxy Squad is probably going to be a one wave theme. Unless it sells well.

last post on Page 2 of this thread shows possibility of a second wave.
