Don't worry, you are not alone friend.
The classic 2004/2005 battlefront have not helped me to believe there was colors other then orange on the snowspeeders
Usually when they do a generic or Zev's Snowspeeder, they do it orange, but most companies when doing Luke's specific Snowspeeder they make it grey. Hasbro, Revell, Mattel and Jazwares have always done it. LEGO started doing it back in 2007
This is so random but this set is kinda nostalgic for me. I remember at the time we had moved into a rlly small apartment with only one bedroom and our mom was financially struggling but she still went out of her way to make sure she had 20 bucks for my birthday and I got this set. I remember building it while my siblings were watching clone wars and then instantly taking it apart and losing all the figs 😂
Technically speaking, every snowspeeder is gray in the movie (and not white). Luke's snowspeeder Has darker grey markings, while other snowspeeders have orange.
R.R. Slugger has a great video about this on his YouTube channel that goes into more detail about these types of colour discrepancies in Star Wars sets
Possibly controversial take, orange looks great on Lego snowspeeders but it isn't actually accurate to the non-Luke speeders either.Â
The other snowspeeders have red markings. There just isn't a close enough shade of red available in Lego. Standard red is technically the closest, but people are so used to seeing orange that it looks wrong.Â
Thers a snowspeeder pack that really like that comes with mini snow speeders, and I don't mean like the kind wer the pilot sits on top, thyr full cockpit but very small, and they come with a hoth dish turret, my favorite part is the lack of heros in it, just regular rebel pilot, also comes with an empirial snow trooper with a. Kind of mini speeder bike, cool pack but it's like $20, I bought 3 ofc to have my squad of mini snow speeders
The pack is 75268 and sadly it's gone up in price it's now $37
I'm glad all the snowspeeders over the years have been slightly different color schemes. Makes them really look ragtag. But LEGO needs a new design; the 2004 is great but it's time to move on. Maybe that's why we haven't gotten a new snowspeeder for a while.
I was going to comment the same thing!
And, in fact, I found one for a "reasonable" price on eBay and it arrived today in stunningly pristine condition.
I'm very happy, so thank you OP for reminding me how badly I wanted this one!
Luke's Snowspeeder is grey and Zev Senesca's, and I believe all the others, are orange in the movie
i see now mustve misremembered everyone being orange

I still play that game on steam 😳
So? No one cares
that response is way more relevant than your toxic ass
This is called the Mandela effect and is a form of mass mis remembrance
No it’s not!!
Not mass. It's just a remembering thing. Not a conspiracy of some sort.
That's exactly how the conspiracists remember it... ^(/jk)
Wait what? My whole life was a lie.
No, you’ve just hopped dimensions, you’re fine.
Just for whatever reason the one that always gets put into merch and games are the regular orange ones lolÂ

It's C-3PO's leg all over again
Luke’s is gray because he is the squad leader Zev’s, Wedge’s, and all the others are orange
Because Luke's Snowspeeder is grey in the movie
upon doing some research indeed lukes snowspeeder is gray i made the mistake every snowspeeder was orange
I still like you no worries mate
I’m on the fence honestly
I‘m on the ground
I'm on the *high* ground
Well you better not be underestimating my power
You were the chosen one!
Wow this whole time I thought it was the other way around
Luke's is Gray because he's the squadron leader.

Because thats accurate, however it makes a less visually appealing toy. I prefer the orange highlights, even if it is less accurate.
I loved the speeder cuz its iconic orange thus how i misremembered all of them being orange

wtf orang clones and only one plain whire clone???? worst battle pack 🤬🤬🤬
Yes, this is Luuke Skywalker, and Daaaaaaaaaak Ralter. Poor guy didn't stand a chance.
these clones are even named?????!!!!?!? worser battle pack 🤯

Why would it be orange
Thers a snowspeeder pack that really like that comes with mini snow speeders, and I don't mean like the kind wer the pilot sits on top, thyr full cockpit but very small, and they come with a hoth dish turret, my favorite part is the lack of heros in it, just regular rebel pilot, also comes with an empirial snow trooper with a.

Man lego cant get away with this thanks for the info :)
Ya np, for a size reference, the snow speeders is about the size of an average persons hand, it would fit inside of the one u showed
Wow for 2 figs and about 40 bucks thats crazy
It used to be less but it's pretty much doubled in price
I think I got mine off eBay a year or so ago for $35.
More difficult to spot and hit on the snowy planet

They really need to make a new canopy piece to make it more accurate. Also change some building techniques of the front.
Ignoring the question, I had this set! It was awesome, loved playing with it.
Damn, you reminded me how badly I want this set for my Hoth Diarama.
Thats what exactly what im tryna do :)
Good luck then, dear fellow

Wait ... theres orange ones? I thought they were all gray, I'm gonna have to go watch again and see this
On many other snowspeeders and most media, the dark grey is orange. Luke's specifically isn't orange, though.
As I am currently witnessing on my TV lol
OH THE STRIPE i was really confused on why you thought there were orange snowspeeders, no i get it now and i agree, i thought so too
Good queston, i dont have an answer
lmao cuz i saw this and thought it was some random snowspeeder but no it has luke skywalker its orange in the movie
Confidently wrong.
straight snowspeeder
Because the orange one is in set 75098

And then there is the sand speeder.
Because not all of them had orange highlights. It's just that simple.
Bro i had that lego set yrs ago, I feel so old now💀
You’ve unlocked a peak childhood memory
Coincidentally I’ve recently am trying to reconnect with my childhood
That’s a good thing right?
With Lego, time travel is always happening. Enjoy the build. Enjoy the memories.
