darththeling Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Great, thanks for the clarification. All the CAD prices for this wave are still appearing as "-" on Brickset. It's a rare treat and a relief to read about something being cheaper than expected in this thread for a change! With the CAD lower than usual against the USD I was fearing the worst. But I guess also the piece counts are lower than what I thought they were. Re: Hux's hair, I'm using an extra Starlord hairpiece (Guardians of the Galaxy) and the color/style seems to fit well, too.

Squarefoot_Calrissian Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Has anyone heard any interesting rumors? The wait for news / march sets to appear in stores is unbearable .. I keep checking back to see if news might have surfaced.. Edited February 25, 2016 by Squarefoot_Calrissian Quote
Richpepperell Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Sorry if this has already been posted - I'm willing to bet the Unkars Brute minifigure divides opinion! http://www.starwars.com/news/explore-a-bricktastic-galaxy-in-dks-lego-star-wars-chronicles-of-the-force-exclusive-reveal Quote
ChiefPie Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 No it hasn't! I'm definitely picking up that book. Quote

HawkLord Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Wow... like that's it? An army-builder type character with no name and limited printing? This is one I bet I won't even see stolen out of the package like all the others! Quote

This is one I bet I won't even see stolen out of the package like all the others! I like it because it's obscure and it goes well with the Encounter on Jakku set. Will definitely put those two and Rey's speeder together Quote
Richpepperell Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Awesome!! Thank you *snip* Cheers for adding the picture - I'm out and about so couldn't do it on my phone. I reckon the minifigure is actually pretty useful for lots of scenarios - cantina, Jabba's Palace etc. Edited February 26, 2016 by Lobot : Please don't quote images, thanks :-) Quote
Venkefedo Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Great torso for zombie-lovers, I suppose... seems pretty boring to me however, tho I realize between this guy and the one in the Rey's Speeder set we'll now have both thugs that attack her in Niima Outpost. I just find the design boring; hopefully we'll never see another desert world populated by people in tattered wraps in later films Quote
Krulis Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Love the figure, he will fit nicely with Rey's Speeder which I bought recently. Quote
Forresto Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I give it three mehs out of five. Its an okay minifigure. What bewilders me is why it was apart of this and not an additional figure for Encounter on Jakku? Quote
ADHO15 Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) 75099 Rey's Speeder + 75148 Encounter on Jakku + this promo figure = Now we just need that other obscure guy in the background and we're all set! Edited February 25, 2016 by ADHO15 Quote
Dragonlego27 Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) The figs alright, but unfortunately it's a mix of a lot of things, none of which come across to me as star wars. It just looks like a cross between a zombie and a mummy, and is the least star-wars-like minifigure I've ever seen made for the theme. Edited February 25, 2016 by Dragonlego27 Quote
Bricky Dee Williams Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I give it three mehs out of five. Its an okay minifigure. What bewilders me is why it was apart of this and not an additional figure for Encounter on Jakku? Good point. What an absurd choice for the book minifigure, I wouldn't be persuaded to buy it for that. It looks like something that should've been in the Scooby Doo theme, in my honest opinion. Quote
Squarefoot_Calrissian Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I can see why people like the figure especially if you picked up Encounter on Jakku but that set was a pass for me and sadly so is this figure.. Here's to hoping the May 4th figure is a knockout! Quote
ARSLOCK Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 re: the figure... why not old luke? seems perfect for this Quote
Bricky Dee Williams Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 re: the figure... why not old luke? seems perfect for this Seems someone is waiting... for now. I'm guessing May the Fourth promo will be old Luke. Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 That has to be the one of the weirdest star wars exclusive... Perhaps, they're saving a better character for the May the 4th promotion Quote
markw Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 No way it was gonna be Luke, but Crimson Corsair? Would have sold a shed load. Quote
Sneakguest Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 But where does the rumour of San Hill as the fourth may figure come from, that would be fantastic since I have a hard time seeing him ever be created if TLG does not make a large separatist council set, which I doubt they will do, unless part of a USC genosian set, due to the little action in a board meeting and the thus lack of popularity among kids Quote

Sneakguest Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 It came up because someone wanted him. Oh so not very likely then =( well most likely it will be a episode VII figure, however not a central one that will come in a set later anyway, I would go for Bazine Netal, Bala-Tik or a yet unintroduced lego charachter or relative importance, would be boring, but if you look at the last few promofigures, I would make sense Quote
HawkLord Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 It was never a legit rumor, just wish-listing. Most people are betting it will be a TFA or Rebels related character. Also possibly Hoth Leia to go with the UCS. Quote
bootz Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Eh. We still don't have Ponda Baba, but this is an exclusive? Definite pass for me, which is ok because I still have to get the book with white Boba anyway. Quote
DarthPotato Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 That Unkar's Thug figure should have been included in the Encounter on Jakku set. I think that would have made it a bit more worth the $60 price tag. Quote
