Picked up Rancor Pit and Han at local brick and mortar and ordered another pit (w/o figs) on bricklink. Battle of Hoth wasn't available in store so I placed a phone order for it and the sales rep rustled up an "out of stock" Yavin to qualify me for my second Han.

Just picked up Jabba's Palace and Bespin Planet Set at Lego store! They didn't have any skiffs in stock yet.

I love it!!! The set is classic Lego Star Wars, miniturized and cute.

Nice work Lego!!! My one problem with this pic is the white bricks; easy fix tho. Hope there is another set to rest the tower on, and I hope it's the droid dungeon. articulated hands are awesome too!!!

Don't, get me wrong! It's a great looking set and super creative too, it's just that it is lacking considering the price you expect us to pay. More and more people are turning to the secondary market to create their own versions of their favourite Star Wars ships and scene. Its just that Lego set prices, especially outside of the US, are becoming cost prohibitive for many who love their products, i.e. kids!!! The same kids that Lego's marketing dept. know are addicted like pokemaniacs. Altruism is always easiest on a stack of money! ;) I just feel a set with this high of a price and this low of a parts count, should be extra special. The normal reasons for inflated price are absent, except for the UCS title and it smacks of market hyperinflation. No harm meant, I love Lego and have for over 30 years. I was just venting an opinion, one that I stand by, I might add. Round stickers on a square tile is a little lame in a set this expensive. ;) Happy building!!!

The TLG may be taking us AFOLs for granted. There are multiple MOCs that blow this b-wing away without using their "new" pieces. The designer even mentioned the mirrored build process a couple times. $250 to build the same wing 4 times and bottom wing twice. He even mentions the fact that the guns are non-functioning. It's like he's daring us to buy it after he's listed all the boring aspects of the set. They know the hardcore will still buy it and be happy there's no minifigs and limited functions. I realize it's a display set, but the only reason there's no figs is because he couldn't engineer an opening cockpit. It's basically minifig scale!!! Sorry for the negativity, I just had to rant a little. They know they'll get our money no matter what they release. :) And... Those look like giant orange STICKERS!!!

Grossly overpriced!!! Considering that R2 is $229 for almost 600 more pieces than the $249 B-wing. And, no exclusive minifigs to excuse the price??? Not cool!!! I have every OT set and I was eagerly awaiting this one, but I may have finally had enough of TLG's gouging. Time to bricklink my own B-wing.

This is happening tomorrow at 9:00 and I think it's the most likely event for an announcement: Expectations from LEGO by Kevin Hinkle (The LEGO Group) Come join Kevin Hinkle, North America Community Coordinator, from The LEGO Group as he provides an introduction into what he does with the fan community. An update of current projects will be addressed followed with discussion around what the fan community expects from the LEGO company in regards to support.

But, this is at 2:00 today: The LEGO Design Process by Jamie Berard (The LEGO Group) Come join Jamie Berard, Senior Designer, from The LEGO Group as he provides an introduction into who he is and what he does. Join us as we take a look into the design process for LEGO products. This discussion will allow opportunity for questions, concerns and suggestions.

UCS R2D2!!! Fantastic set!!!

Mad props to Alldarker. Super cool!!!

I just hope the Cloud City set associated with this one and the Home One set has been shelved and revamped. It would be a real shame if, after all this time waiting for a new cloud city, that Lego releases it and it's one of these sub-par playsets and calls it a day. I'm hoping for a Cloud City set more akin to the Death Star!

Jabba's sail barge! My OT collection is finally all caught up!!!

New Sith Infiltrator and TC-14 at lego store. The new Grevious star fighter on bricklink. MSIB Sandcrawler off local want ads!!! Good Day!!!

Just ordered the exclusive figs from the SSD and a Bespin Guard off brick link for $55 CAD.

2010!!! Bought Vader's Tie Fighter first and have spent a fortune since. Loved the Slave I and the Tantive, and since I missed the UCS MF, the shuttle is my favorite set. Had not built any Lego since I was a Lego manic as a kid and had always wanted to buy some Star Wars stuff. (My EX wouldn't let me) But, I sure had a lot lego fun in 2010!!!
