And don't forget the Star Wars Technic Battle Droid, soon to be released
(#8001). These guys look like they'll have a LOT of tan LEGO in them!!
The Pit Droid (#8000) also looks as if it might have a fair bit of tan
pieces in it, as well as some green ones. It's also soon to be released,
LEGO list it in the Technic section of their catalogue, under the Technic
Star Wars section.
This guy and his other two mates are all flip out droids, it looks like I'm
in for a big LEGO buying frenzy this year. :-)
There is also Star Wars Destroyer Droid (#8003) however, it doesn't appear
to have much, if any, of the tan pieces in it. It does have a few brown
ones though, so might be worth something. :-) But this discussion is
mostly about tan bricks, so I'll leave further discussion of other colored
bricks to other people. ;-)
I don't know how they list their links on their site, although it only gives
me the following link in my browser
(http://www.lego.com/catalog/asn/product.asp) When I tried accessing each
of the droids, the same link came up - it's probably a CGI or similar kind
of scripting tool they're using or something. I'm not sure exactly what,
though. Maybe it's a cookie or whatever they use these days.
However, this link should send you straight to the Technic section of their
site:
http://www.lego.com/catalog/asn/overview.asp?selection=technic
And accessing the pics of the three robots listed here is as quick as
pulling down a menu.
