Looks amazing, great job!

Picked up 75258 Anakin's Podracer for half off.

I got 40362 Battle of Endor microbuild and also 75532 Scout Trooper and Speeder Bike.

Got 10236 Ewok Village for 180 dollars USD.

I finally received the 75244 Tantive IV, $100 new in box (damaged box was why it was so cheap). I had gotten it over a month ago but eBay kept giving me an error where it wouldn't let me pay, so me and the seller worked it out so that I paid through PayPal, the payment went through and I got it today in the mail.

I really like that new red Y-Wing, I liked the red version from the clone wars but obviously we will never get that, so this is nice to have instead.

I don't think it should take a break either. It sells well. I am tired of all the remakes as well though. I'd have liked to see how Lego Star Wars went if Disney had not bought Star Wars and ruined it. Perhaps we would have had more Old Republic-era things, as well as sets based off of the prequels more often and the continuation of the Clone Wars, of course.

75045 Republic AV-7 Cannon for 50 dollars.

LOL buzzkill.

Yeah I'd love to see that as well, however I don't think they will ever revisit that series. Only one set has been made from that series, unfortunately. I bought myself a custom Lego Durge minifigure off eBay, I think there are still some available.

Have you read the 'Legends' novels? If you haven't, I'd recommend them. They have a much better story in general, imo.

?

Received 75159 Death Star for $196.69, partially new and sealed, partially built. I have to go through and count the bags that were opened, but a great deal even if some pieces are missing (all figures appear to be there).

I see no reason why not to give us a 501st battle pack, or galactic marines, or whatever. It's much better than another stupid battle pack with officer and technician figures.

I personally just try and collect all the sets, because I am a completionist. That being said I do not enjoy the Disney Star Wars era at all.

I've picked up 4476, 75187, and 75262 in the last three days off eBay.

Dang, jealous of both of those. I can't find those types of prices for those sets on eBay. I did pick up the Shadow ARF Trooper polybag for 48 dollars though.

I've never really thought of that concept, but I agree, that does sound incredible and I'd buy it.

Honestly I haven't been finding as many good deals lately. Finding the best deals usually requires looking for auctions that people either made too vague or put in the wrong category, so I always look in those places. For example, I got 10198 Tantive IV for retail price NIB earlier this year, and the only reason I was able to was because the seller had put it in the wrong category, and I found it. Other examples would be like 7657 AT-ST, which was listed vaguely as 'lego star wars set' and I was able to get it NIB for 30 dollars.

Got 10019 Rebel Blockade Runner for 120 dollars. Missing the instructions, which cost around 60 so I will wait until I find a good deal. The stickers were also peeling off, so I will get reproduction stickers. It was extremely dusty, will have to inventory it tomorrow, I disassembled it today and cleaned it. I was surprised by the massive size of this thing when I got it in hand.

I like the new teal astromech, now I'm looking forward to them making a purple one haha.

Great job!

We've gotten a Klatooinian before, Kithaba, from 9496 Desert Skiff. I only remember this because I used his head for a custom Tarados Gon, who is a Klatooinian Jedi haha.

That's a lame leak, we've already gotten that species before. Doesn't really make me excited.

I got very lucky with my UCS TIE..... A seller had dropped their NIB one and some bags had burst open and pieces were broken, so I got it for 85 dollars, and the cost to replace the pieces was roughly 10 dollars. My last few purchases have been 8000 Pit Droid, 8008 Stormtrooper, and 30384 Snowspeeder polybag.
