unclemart Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Great review! This new set seems lamer than the first one, but maybe that's just cause I'm really only into IV-VI? I suppose I'll end up getting it at some point anyway, if the price is right. ;-) Quote
ResIpsaLoquitur Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Hey, just throwing out there: this set has been turning up for half-price at some Targets in the U.S. (Yes, I posted about this over in Finds/Deals.) Just to warn you, I ALMOST bought a set until I noticed the tape was loose, checked the inside, and found that the minifigs had been swiped. However, I have found intact sets at the clearance price as well. So, get it while it's cheap and save it for next December, I guess! Quote
Brickmamba Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Very lacklustre lineup of figures for this particular advent set, the snow droid is the only one I'd make the effort to hunt down, thanks for the thorough review Quote
Oky Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Just to warn you, I ALMOST bought a set until I noticed the tape was loose, checked the inside, and found that the minifigs had been swiped.

Funny you should mentioned this; I had part of a minifig missing from my calendar as well, but it was a much more bizarre situation. I bought mine at a Lego store during the Brick Friday 50% off sale. The bag that contained the Snowtrooper was cut open, and the head and helmet of the minifig were missing, but everything else was still there. I checked the tape on the box when I bought it and it looked fine. Either somebody did a really good job resealing the box or the bag was opened before it was even put into the box. Who would steal only the head and helmet of a Snowtrooper and leave everything else (including the exclusive figs!) anyway? I really don't understand it. Fortunately Lego customer service was kind enough to send me a replacement free of charge. On a side note, I find it hilarious that TRU stores are still trying to sell these at $60! Quote
korpen4444 Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 I may be in minority but I like this set. Figs are great (santa Maul, snow R2, rebel trooper, imperial officer and GONK droid), some nice models (vulture droid, Naboo starfighter, queen's ship) and parts aren't bad either. You aren't alone. Quote
