Galactic13 Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 I did the same by buying 2 3POs to open and one to keep in the bag as a collectible. I like this general minifig as long as it's not the May 4th fig. I'd love to get at least 3 of them to populate my FO collection but maybe change out the heads on two of them so they don't look the same (this is the Clone era after all ). Quote
bootz Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 I got my TFA 3PO when I went to get my Stormtrooper Sergeant, which they had none of so they offered 3PO for a penny. A few weeks later I found the Stormtrooper on the pegs so I grabbed two, though every TRU I've been in has had tons of C-3PO. Quote
Brickr Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Hi Guys, If any of you in the UK like me have been watching 75139 'Battle of Takodana' and 75140 'Resistance Troop Transport' (or any other Lego set or sets totalling over 50 quid) on Amazon, and waiting for their prices to drop to a more reasonable figure then now is a pretty good day to grab one... Amazon has a deal for today only (22nd Jan) if you use the code 'BIGTHANKS' at the checkout you'll get a tenner of an order of over fifty! 75140 has just dropped to 57.94, so in total you'll get it for 47.94! a saving of over 20% I know this isn't technically about a rumour or picture, and sorry to those outside the UK, but I just wanted to spread this time sensitive deal amongst my fellow fans, I will delete this post tomorrow.

Amazing Bricks Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Any news on the summer sets? Nope, just wait until London toy fair for set details. Quote
PZ-4CO Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Its worth noting that the First Order General actually has metallic printing on his left arm, a small ranking stripe. Its not all boring! Its actually pretty cool. Absolutely no idea why this isnt on the polybag image. Quote

kylosuperfan Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Well everyone, "General Generic" just became serious troop building material!! I'm going to need at least 6... Quote
Jayoheazy Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 $4.99 for one arm, sell the rest for parts.... Is this what my life has come to?? :D Quote
Darth Kylo Ren Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Nope, just wait until London toy fair for set details. Is it Numberag(sorry if I spelled it wrong) or new york that we get pictures? Quote
CM4Sci Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Is it Numberag(sorry if I spelled it wrong) or new york that we get pictures? Nuremberg. Maybe London if someone's sneaky enough but I doubt it. Kind of off topic, but when can we start openly talking about spoilers? Feb? Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Is it Numberag(sorry if I spelled it wrong) or new york that we get pictures? Nuremburg toy fair has permitted photography before, but lately it's been sketchy. I would expect pictures there, but not like new York toy fair which will allow photography. Quote
kylosuperfan Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Nuremberg. Maybe London if someone's sneaky enough but I doubt it. Kind of off topic, but when can we start openly talking about spoilers? Feb? Spoilers from what? Quote
Bricky Dee Williams Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 The Force Awakens. It's been a month and five days since the film came out, and unless the three people who haven't seen it are on here, I see no reason why not. People have talked about things such as Luke's presence, but I see no problem with it. Jangbricks had a restriction for his comments until January. Quote
Admiral Brickington Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Its worth noting that the First Order General actually has metallic printing on his left arm, a small ranking stripe. Its not all boring! Its actually pretty cool. Absolutely no idea why this isnt on the polybag image. This is actually quite funny. LEGO named this minifigure 'First Order General', but the only item signifying the rank of a general is the black cap. The uniform is of a colonel/major, although the colour is wrong (it should be teal or turquoise), and the armband is of an admiral (because of the red stripes). So only the cap and maybe the overall black colour of his uniform are correct for a general (however, black coloured uniforms are also worn by sergeants/squad leaders...). Therefore, it may well be that LEGO just did not get this one right, or this minifigure may in fact be what a First Order Admiral looks like, or funnily enough, this minifigure is the "ultimate First Order Officer", or something along those lines. :) All this (un)intentional confusion makes this minifigure interesting, even intriguing for me, and I will definitely be getting one or two, if not for the whole minifigure, then at least for the individual parts.

x105Black Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Kind of off topic, but when can we start openly talking about spoilers? Feb? Spoilers for sets, as soon as you know anything you should share! Spoilers for the movie, I'd say it's fair game at this point. Quote
AyliffeMakit Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Set descriptions! Star WarsA bit of a letdown this year, with repeated builds and uninspired new vehicles from the lego sw tv show. Lots of minifigs here were obscured and/or not named, including on the calendar. 75145 Eclipse Fighter – £34.992 minifigs 75147 Star Scavenger – £49.994 minifigs, comes with a salvage mini vehicle. 75148 Encounter on Jakku – £49.99The scene from Force Awakens where Teedo on a Luggabeast snares BB-8 (that’s a ridiculous sentence). comes with Unkar Plutt, Rey, BB-8, Teedo and a brick built luggabeast. 75149 Resistance x-wing fighter – £79.994 minifigs. basically a recolouring of 75102 75150 Darth Vadar’s Tie Advanced – £29.99Comes with a solid looking tie advanced and an A-wing that shoots. 4 minifigs. 75151 clone turbo tank – £99.99built-in handle and some decent suspension. 6 minifigs. 75147 Captain Rex’s AT-TE walker – £99.995 minifigs. complete rebuild from previous versions. more robust.

Tom Jurassic Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 £49.99 for the Luggerbeast????? Either that set has some other features to it or it is seriously oversized and overpriced! Quote
tafkatb Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 £49.99 for the Luggerbeast????? Either that set has some other features to it or it is seriously oversized and overpriced! It also has the marketplace area where Rey sells parts to Unkar. Quote
Tom Jurassic Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 It also has the marketplace area where Rey sells parts to Unkar. That isn't as bad then although it still strikes me as quite expensive, depending on the scale of the Market. Thank you for clearing that up for me :) Quote
Super Hans Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 £30 for Vader's Tie? Surely it must be microfighter size at that price? Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) The Jakku set sounds amazing I thought they'd either release a set based on the market scene or the one with Teedo and the Luggabeast, but combining the two of them is a fantastic choice, can't wait to see pictures at the NYTF Too bad though there's apparently no third TFA set...

muttley617 Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 I am so pumped for Rex's at-te and the CTT! Do we know about who the minifigs for each set are? Quote
