The TFA battle pack could be ok if the riot trooper body is the same as a standard trooper... I don't see why the body wouldn't be the same, it is in the movie. Quote

Even if they gave us 4 pain troopers in a battle pack, how many kids can afford to buy a lot of them? Most kids can't afford to get a lot of them but getting 4 in a battle pack is really nice. I remember getting the 2008 battlepacks when I was a teenager and it was great. On another note that scout trooper and speeder bikes looks really good, Haven't bought any of the constraction figures but will definitely consider getting that one. Quote

The Bespin Guard uses Finn's head. That Lando torso print is obviously an applied decal, and he has the old 2015 Stormtrooper in the picture. Old stormtrooper? That one's not old, it's still current, they used it in the recent RO battlepack. So unless they finally give them printed hips... Quote
Gingersnap Studios Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 The Rathtar set has three Guavian Death Gang Soldiers, Bala-Tik, Han Solo, and Chewbacca. Quote

RetroInferno Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Very good news guys! The Y-wing will be priced at 59,99$ US and 74,99$ CAN, very reasonable! The sets began surfacing on the e@shop. Quote

Legoman123 Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 So it's rumoured that we are getting an UCS Cloud City now? Quote

Aww :(. Its nice to see the new sets are trickling into the US Lego site. Do we know whether or not the battle packs will be 13 or 15 bucks? Quote

Well that's a shame, it's one of the main sets I want to be remade, and in UCS form if preferable. Quote

RetroInferno Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 12,99 $ US, I don't know for CAN but most likely 15,99$. Quote
legosamsonite Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 What about battle on scarrif price? Quote

The sets began surfacing on the e@shop. Wow! Im aghast at that price its extremely reasonable. I believe you but its a little hard to grasp that a set of that size being priced so close to 50 bucks. Almost makes the Battle of Scarif and the Takodana sets look absurd for what you get. Quote
RetroInferno Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 https://shop.lego.com/en-US/Y-Wing-Starfighter-75172 For you skeptics out there! ( I really was expecting something 25$ more expensive ) Quote
StarWars8Spoiler Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 Well the Y-Wing's price is welcome news, so that gives me high hopes the Scarif set will only be $40 to $50. Quote

I do hope the next wave will be as reasonable as those Rogue One sets. Quote
Legofan2001 Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 That price has to be a glitch because it has 691 parts the u wing is 80 and has less then that Quote
RetroInferno Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 Number of pieces doesn't = final price. The U-wing has a lot of big pieces in it and when the wings are deployed it's insanely huge. Quote

The U-wing has a lot of big pieces in it and when the wings are deployed it's insanely huge. But this also has the same number of minifigs but if this is 60 this is by far the value for a set in years maybe even since the MTT from 2007 Quote
starwars4ever Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) Well the 2014 AT-AP was only $60 and it had 717 pieces, so it's not completely unheard of. Edited February 2, 2017 by starwars4ever Quote
eldiano Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 Usually Lego Over charges on SW merch to cover licensing fees and pocket more revenue. But the Y wing looks to simple to me honestly. Quote

A lot. When you look at a Lego set, ignore how many pieces there are, look at the weight. u-wing 75155 weight = 1180g y-wing 75172 weight = 840g U wing has 340g more plastic in the box. So it costs more. In general though the prices are inflated so Lego and disney get cuts as profit. Quote
