Mace is literally nothing but new prints.

Really liking those new sets. I won’t get the microfighters because I already have the figures from them but both those figures were only available in $70-$150 Sets before, so it’s a good move for them to be cheap. Also I really like the Falcon build for some reason, don’t know why but I’m liking it leagues ahead of the 2014 one. Might just get for the build. The BP is neat, nothing worth army-building but I’ll get just one. Nice build, don’t have any of the new Tuskens so I’ll get just one for sure. Loving the combat speeder. I don’t mind disproportions, virtually every Star Wars set that isn’t a one-seat starfighter is way out of scale (FO Snowspeeder, Rey Speeder, FO Destroyer, AT-M6, Resistance Bomber...). More bricks means much better detail and I think it looks great for it. Plus I don’t have the newer white Grevious and an updated Windu is appreciated.

I find that moisture vapourator very confusing; I really like the look of it but what’s with the burp piece? I don’t mind those flip-up functions, in fact when in its downward position I think it looks great, but there doesn’t seem to be anything under there to reveal...

I long for the day when we get a seamless, unanimous decision on something being genuinely good....ahhhh who am I kidding that ain't gonna happen.

I don’t know why, but that Luke might just be one of my favourite figures in a long time. Again, I’m not sure why since there’s some major inaccuracies with it, but as a product on its own separate from the on-screen counterpart it just looks so damn cool to me.

Because apparently it's an overpriced rehash. People saying LEGO are bad because they've remade a set (like they do every couple years) and are charging a lot of money for it (thereby making them scummy cashgrab money makers). even though its about $2,500 less than the last one right now. It's basically whining kids and 20-something edgelords who thought something the size of a coffee table could be bought for their $200 Christmas money. 'But why isnt it Starkiler Base that wuld be more original lol Disney cash-grab zzzzz-SHUT THE F**K UP

Seeing the comments on the YouTube and Facebook reveals. I f***ing hate this community sometimes.

That kid must be MGF Customs. *Gigantic near-perfect display piece* "THAT ALTERNATE FACE LOOKS NOTHING LIKE CARRIE FISHER LEGO DIDN'T PUT ANY EFFORT IN"

Got an email direct from LEGO saying 3x VIP points.

Am I the only person who genuinely likes the majority of TLJ sets? Aside from the Scout Walker, which, yeah, is kinda lame, I think the rest look great! the transport has a huge amount of play value for such a small ship, the Silencer is an excellent display model (and no-one complained about the lack of action features on the other First Order TIE), The Bomber seems to be liked by most anyway as does BB-8, and the Heavy Assault Walker is the spitting image of the actual vehicle based on those new photos. I was never gonna get the Star Destroyers due to space constraints but it looks good too. The only plausible downside worth complaining about is the price, but since everyone here seems so disenchanted with these sets that they'll only buy them on discount that doesn't seem to be a problem for anyone here either...

Has it been theorised that the pricing or piece count for the BB-8 and the Resistance Bomber may be the wrong way round? Considering that these prices originated from a random German toy shop, and therefore aren't a 100% concrete source, could it be that they got them mixed up. After all, €110 for a 1106 piece set and €100 for a 773 piece set seems more plausible, and isn't being too wishful since €100 for 773 pieces is still very high.

Ah yes, the guy from Instagram. Unsure what to make of it, could of sworn I'd seen his username on here before, and couldn't remember if he was reliable or not...does _taylor_stevenson_ ring any bells to anyone? Thought he posted a wish list a while back.

These are both incredibly relevant comments that completely correspond to the topic that this forum is based on. As we know, the moderators here are very lax about what we discuss and this is completely fine; after all, this forum does of course double as a film forum and discussing personal opinions that don't really relate to LEGO is actively encouraged. I just love to see hate for films I enjoy extend to places that I don't expect to find it ;)

I think the primary issue about the lack of "fun" can be put on all previous leaks. Because of the initial 3 largest sets along with those minifig leaks, we had already seen all the figures before that sheet leaked. It does take away from the allure quite a bit. If I had gone straight to the store having seen absolutely nothing I would be much more excited I feel. With things like the Rogue One wave we got everything at once (that minifig sheet and set catalog from the back of the instructions leaked back in June), so all the hype came at once; sure it was earlier than September, but there was no slow twiddling away at it.

Touché. As I've said previously we are indeed trapped in the "Mundane As F**k Zone". We never landed on the moon either.
