Hoth looks a bit weird to me, but Bespin looks amazing!

Agree. The Bespin one looks spot on. We really need a new Han in his blue jacket from ESB.

Some photos of minifigures from 75154 by me. I am working on the video-review, so expect it soon:)

Thanks for the pics Ookami.I have to say that the Shoretrooper looks amazing!!!

Hopefully we'll get more of them in future sets.

I definitely second it! The model is very cool and I'd rather get one more Shoretrooper than this useless ground crew figure. Still, there is hope that TLG will put a couple of them in 2017 sets, so I will just wait.

Did you get that set in a store that had it on sale early? Or in another way?

I got it from my very close friend, but there are some stores in my country which have this set in stock. I don't know how it is in the other countries, but for example I got pictures from 'Auchan' where 75154 was on shelves.

I'm really looking forward to getting the shore trooper. However, if really thought that the helmet was a different mold to the hover tank pilot, but it's clearly the same now.

I thought so too. The death trooper looks the same also

[Artanis I]

Yep and then TLG decided $800 Aud for the DS was acceptable!

With US price going up by $100 it was always going to be at least $800AUD... 900 was on the cards. Think yourself lucky.

As if $700 for the last one wasn't bad enough. I feel more sorry for New Zealand - $900 there.

[Darth Malgus]

Yeah, its not a kids set at those prices...

Nope, the Death Trooper helmet mould is independent of the Tank/Shore Trooper.

I'm not familiar with import and tax laws for those countries but is there a general reason for the huge price differences? from USD to AUD, and NZD?

USD+tax = 529.99

AUD converted = 689.51 vs. retail price of 799.99 (difference of 110.48 AUD)

NZD converted = 708.95 vs. retail price of 899.99 (difference of 191.04 NZD)

I do really feel for you guys with those prices though. as for complaining about prices here I think that is still justifiable if only to help lower the price world wide for our southern friends seeing these higher prices.

(crazy you could almost fly to the US and buy the set for the same price as just buying it in NZ, couldn't fly home on that but if you were thinking of coming here for a vacation already and want that set you'd be a fool to not pick it up while here)

Will be really difficult to get them back with you though. I refuse to buy large sets when I'm on holiday in the US.

Thanks, I was unsure and couldn't find a close up picture

Here is my review of the new 75154 set. I am sorry for not using English language, but you can watch from 1:36 to 4:56 the building and the figures without words.

P. S. I am a beginner, so please forgive me some bad points of the video:(

[Juke]

Good video. I always like the time lapse videos. They used a lot of off color pieces in that set. And it's a lot bigger than I thought it would be

[Forresto]

While I don't speak your language so I didnt understand what you said (although I can say you have a good speaking voice) your review is excellent. The time-lapse must have been annoying to do but effectively displayed the full model. Thank you for making this!

[DEAD1974]

Nice review, I understand almost everything and it was really nice to hear LEGO / Star Wars opinion in your language.

Toysrus is havig a free promotional star wars polybag when you spend $30 or more on lego star wars products. This will take place on the last week of September. It's been speculated that it's the first order general poly bag. I know I'll be getting it. That should be good for us here in the US.

Cool review! The set looks okay. I don't like does splotches of sand blue everywhere though

That's good news! I've been holding out for awhile to see if we get one of the polys at toys r us.

The minifigs look awesome!
