GallardoLU Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 No joke, its in the calendar and all I think I'll run over to Wal-Mart tonight and pick up my nearly exclusive trooper and his friends (battle pack) on the plus side I can now happily spend my saved points on more speed champion stuff Quote
ChiefPie Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Can someone post the the picture cause it won't show on imgur. Quote
Ronan Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Ok the darth jar jar polybag is really better that the stormtrooper one. Someone should say it to lego Quote
ChiefPie Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 That's a bummer. A new minifigure would have been better even if this has new printing. Quote
Squarefoot_Calrissian Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) Hopefully the Rogue One sets and UCS DS will make up for a (in my opinion) so far crappy year of Star Wars sets .. Really disappointed in that figure.. Edited March 23, 2016 by Squarefoot_Calrissian Quote
jhuyser Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) Bold move Lego...no May 4th figure? I want a Malek, to match Revan, but we'll probably never get that. Unfortunately not. Because Malek isn't considered canon any more. Oddly though Disney does allow The Old Republic to continue though even though it's not canon. Edited March 23, 2016 by jhuyser Quote
Forresto Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) Wow. Just...wow I cannot believe how awful an exclusive that is. I almost feel like TLG is flipping the bird at us. I would understand if it was something like Finn with the sand covered armor and bloody hand print. Or if it was a FO stormie with arm printing, but this? Aunt Beru is a better exclusive then this! Luke Skywalker's severed hand is an improvement over this. Im not even kidding I would rather buy $50 worth of SW Lego sets and get a singular minifigure hand in a poly bag then do it for this guy.

Lobot Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Well, that's a serious disappointment Yet another mediocre 'exclusive' from TLG, I really don't understand it. Considering the 4th May promos must account for a decent volume of their sales outside of Christmas I would have thought that they'd want to encourage AFOLs to spend! I was expecting something Hoth-related to help push the sales of 75098, especially considering the less than positive feedback from the community it's received. The double VIP points is always good, but even with that it only brings the net cost down to around the Ewok Village. Perhaps I might be tempted closer to the day, but I can see myself waiting for the rumoured UCS Snowspeeder. Quote
DarthPotato Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Wow... what a huge letdown. I had been holding back on some Star Wars purchases for May the 4th, but looking at that figure, I think I'll just get them in April for the Mr. Freeze promo. Even Hoth Han was a better May the 4th figure than this. Quote
HawkLord Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I guess with the kind of money Lego is making now, they don't need the usual strong mid-year bump from May 4th sales. Quote
General Magma Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 What... did they leak the April Fools pic or what? Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 This is disappointing... I will probably get it though as I never got the heavy gunner stormtrooper. I can definitely see why people are mad about this. Quote
pittpenguin123 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Bet you guys would love if it was OT stormie instead., You guys say lego never makes enough of those. they must have seen your guys posts but thought OT was FO Quote
jhaelego Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) I feel like Lego is trying hard to piss the fans off this year. First with the infamous UCS Hoth and now this. This is the most dissapointing thing since Star Wars Episode 1. Edited March 23, 2016 by jhaelego Quote
CM4Sci Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Oh no... imagine what the Death Star's gonna be like.. Quote
HawkLord Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Oh no... imagine what the Death Star's gonna be like.. I keep hoping that the Hoth UCS and now this are all to lower our expectations so that the DS just rocks everyone's world. Quote
The_Chosen_1 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 What the.....??? Is this some kind of joke? Absolutely terrible choice for a May the 4th "exclusive". There are so many other great options out there (Aunt Beru, Starkiller Base Han Solo, Episode I C-3PO, etc.), this just comes off as so lazy on TLG's part. Quote
CM4Sci Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Brickset somehow got a hold of a better picture of the Stormtroop - Quote
DarthBrickus Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Brickset somehow got a hold of a better picture of the Stormtroop - *snip* Wow, this is borderline ridiculous. It would have been slightly redeemable with a brick-built big gun, but not even that... Quote
HawkLord Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Or if they had used the Jurassic World ACU tactical vest in white. Does he have a 2x1 flat plate on his back? Maybe printed? Quote
Umbra-Manis Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 This just in: The Tile on the May the 4th "Exclusive" Minifigure's back is printed with a middle finger. Quote
Falconfan1414 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Oh no... imagine what the Death Star's gonna be like.. I am actually super scared based on the May 4th promo and the hoth set Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 That's a bummer. A new minifigure would have been better even if this has new printing. There accually is new printing. Quote
Galactic13 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR SINCE 2005 THAT WE HAVE HAD A NEW STAR WARS LIVE ACTION FILM AND THEY GIVE US THIS GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please excuse me while I weep in a corner.... Edited March 23, 2016 by Galactic13 Quote
