Great. Well worth the 21p or whatever it cost.

Great, I've got all the other helmet variants and I'll get over not having the printed arms. Can't see arms in my display anyway!

Yeah I bought the UCS Tie pilot helmet too. Has it got Elite stripes down in?

Wow, are these not normally available? I got the following for around £18. - New Luke from Final Duel - New Vader face & new 2-part helmet from Final Duel - New Emperor face from Final Duel - Clear domed astromech from the Imperial transport (no legs) - Mandalorian bird (inc helmet) from the Imperial transport - Finn (all bar head) from Millennium Falcon. I'm sure they've never had minifigs on there before?

Winter 2016 sets now in ASDA in the UK... https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/s720x720/12346420_10153729762357829_7056318758666721832_n.jpg?oh=79c00d4889cdd9b92328d2d2c9ef2859&oe=56D5A046

I actually prefer the black crotch and black gloves on the OT Stormies than the all white TFA Stormies.

Yeah i agree, a few hating on the beat up stormies but they look great to me, and the console jockey is very welcome. I'm a little disappointed with the TFA battlepacks, the Resistance chaps all look very similar, i like the exclusive heavy stormie, but just wish we didn't have yet another weird helmeted white guy in the FO battlepack, we're all going to have loads of him kicking around. Who knows, maybe there will be loads of him in the film.

Official, and look like the first purchase of the winter wave to me.

I think it looks bad from a distance, but close up the black seems to be patterned and looks better. I also like the little gun turret! Will look good in a FO display, better than a weird random speeder!

I'm sure I read somewhere that the coffee cup is a gag as one is visible on set that had been left there by the crew. I've watched the scene and never spotted it though.

Plain stormie is a Rebels frowny one, can still get 4 of em for under a tenner in the ITT battlepack. I do like that grey biker scout thing though, looks nicer than the white guy in the AT-DP. Also is it just me or is that TIE advanced a similar but altogether poorer build than the TIE Interceptor we had recently? I'm sure that had a see through window at the from, this one just has a brick wall behind the glass! Shame they couldn't have thrown an Inquisitor in that set. That's the 3rd time we have had a Wookie gunship, I don't even remember it from the cartoon, was it in one episode?

I tend to think the Rogue One stuff won't be as prevalent as TFA sets. Maybe just one wave? Would be good to get some new Rebel and Empire stuff, I'm really looking forward to the Battlefront packs. For some reason I imagine it to be a bit more adult orientated and not as 'Disney'. Not sure where I got that impression from. Jan always brings battlepacks and microfighters and other relatively affordable sets. Surely they wouldn't put out more TFA battlepacks a year after the movie when everyone will be hyped about Rogue One and the excitement will be building for EP8. My money is on a handful of ships and a couple of battlepacks only from Rogue One, and then back into the main theme of the Finn Rey and Kylo story.

I've found the prices on the latest OT stormies (which are fantastic I might add) have really dropped since they appeared in the advent. I got 3 for £7.50 on eBay. I'm happy with a couple of sandy stormies in my line up so I will be equally happy with battle damaged ones. Plus surely we will get some in Rogue One battlepacks this time next year?

Heh, i hope someone got fired for that /comicbookguy

Haha, I've just been trying to figure out the differences between them and clocked his big tache! Also, I have been looking at the jawas in the escape pod are they both different? Are they the same two variants as the Sandcrawler set? Edit: just to add it appears there are two different ones there and there are the same two variants.

To be fair it's a totally different craft (a transporter) , but it certainly looks like a similar design inspired by the B wing or from the same designers. Wasn't Ackbar something to do with bringing them to the rebels?

Especially when the going rate for Kylo on eBay seems to be up to £25!

Expecting them late Dec or early Jan. Don't forget we have a TFA battle pack in the same wave with 2 more Stormies... The black bits appeared to be stored in the box. Canon balls?

Hopefully now he is unmasked this will clear up that Kylo is not Luke. Also good that you can get Maz, Kylo, Finn and two stormies for £50, should bring down the resale prices particularly on Kylo.

I'm not sold on the red tinged stormie (more clone trooper than storm trooper) but I think the battle damaged guys look great. I've never had a problem with sand troopers in my army, and can't wait to get some more console jockeys!

Childhood friend I believe yes. Shows up in a lot of his films & programmes.

Some nice minifigs in that set, and ones that sit perfectly in the existing star wars Universe as you can see from pics above and below (is that the one that has an Ithorian too that fits nicely in cantina sets?)

At least two more TFA sets, the Bwing alike ship with Akbar and Leia that we've seen on here and the Battle on Takadona that we believe has the Kanara, Fin and Kylo has been widely discussed over the last page or so. Plus a couple of microfighters, and possibly Pirate Transport (unless that's what the B wing is/was)

Sandtrooper in the earlier Droid Escape also had toe printing. I'm really happy with the totally new variant (heavy trooper) in the new FO battle pack, but would still have lost the crewman in favour of another standard stormie. The Battlefront pack has it right. Two troopers, a variant and a crewman. My Imperial army is severely short of crewmen (the all black guy from the Microfighter and the light grey one from the ISD) compared to Stormtroopers Just noticed there appears to be two different Jawas in the droid escape set, good news.

Battle damage I think. Look good to me.
