General LEGO Star Wars Discussion and Questions

Sure it is possible. I'd say for any kind of trooper it is possible to show up in the magazine.

[omegabadbatch]

Im worried that next clone in magazine could be clone from 501 battlepack or 332nd battlepack. I want shock trooper instead.

Maybe some one who is choosing minifigures realizes that no one will buy many 501 specialist clones from magazine and 332nd clones beacuse it its cheaper to get swamp speeder than 4x 332 nd clones from magazine. Everyone would buy shock troopers in huge numbers.

Somehow i feel that the Mandalorian Fleet Commander would also be a suitable choice for a magazine. But honestly, we got various Mandalorians with the magazines already and i don't want to see more of them.

Personally i think the minifigure selection of the magazines is rather boring (Still i always buy 2 or 3 at the supermarket in my village. They always get 10 or 12 issues and often they do not sell out.)

No I don't think so (in the UK at least). The magazine price can fluctuate but I think the star wars one is usually £4.50. the 332nd swamp speeder is rumoured to be what £25-£30? Well it comes with 332nd which would be 13.50 from the magazine but it does also include Vaughan so call it 4 troopers so versus 4 magazines at £18. I mean you do get much better value for money with the set but the magazine is better than buying the set just for the figs. And you do get better value for money on the ninjago magazine over star wars one as it's cheaper and always has a minifig.

swamp speeder price is 21 euro. In germany 1 magazine costs 5 euro

I think swamp speeder in uk will cost 19 beacuse 501 battlepack in uk costs 18

Well you were right, the UK price is £19. Which is less than I'd feared so that's nice.

so it is no sense to put 332nd clones in magazine when you can get them in cheaper set (swamp speeder could be on sale). Shock troopers are needed

Shock Troopers as magazine figs are very likely, but not until January at the earliest to make sure the dedicated army builders buy the expensive set first :')

I think march 2024 is likely because 501 clone was in march 2022 and 212 clone was in march 2023

[omegabadbatch]

I lost interest in clones since at te release. For me helmet with holes is to big and beacuse of that visior looks small on helmet with holes. I would prefer dual molded helmet with visior and another helmet with holes in proper place.

Sorry is this seems like a stupid question, but was the 2012 X-Wing always 9493? I'm getting a strange Mandela feeling, because I always thought it was 9495. Only today I realized that set number belongs to the Y-Wing instead.

 

On a more interesting note, can anyone tell me if the new TIE Interceptor is minifigure-scale (UCS Falcon-scale) by chance?

[omegabadbatch]

There could be Boba from mech in another set with pouldron in next year. I dont think that lego made boba from ot only for mech. I would prefer to buy 35-100$ set with boba from ot with pouldron with rest of the minifigures instead of 16$ mech with boba without pouldron.

I think next slave 1 could be from episode 2. Next year is likely because boba slave 1 is retiring this year.

Awesome T6 MOC here. Think I might have to go for it if it's stable and isn't too expensive.

Oh yeah

Does anyone know if we have any news on the AT-AT or Razorcrest retiring any time soon? I keep putting off my AT-AT purchase, and I keep flip flop on whether I'm going to buy the Razorcrest or just it's figures. Razorcrest should be safe for at least another 6 months, but the AT-AT is one I feel is hard to predict and I highly doubt either set is getting a Falcon shelf life.

Well then, this should be interesting.  I've not seen the complete gift set anywhere on the web before this.  Only pictures of the instructions, or people building the fountain itself with common parts.

You should be good on both of those for another year at least. The most recent version (as well as previous iterations) of the retiring sets list from BrickFanatics has both of those listed to stick around to the end of the 2024 at least.

Not really star wars specific so I apologise. But I was thinking about getting the Ahsoka sets near launch, and I wanted to know if we knew of any planned Promotions or GWPs for September?

Same question but October for the Venator...

Was the shirtless Darth Maul from the polybag actually in reference to any specific appearance of him or just a fun thing lego did? I like to sort my figs and he's one of the few figs that I actually don't now a source on. Like even 442nd, Ten Nunb, and White Boba are based on concept art. I know maul was shirtless in TCW and Rebels at points but the fig isn't from either of those. Maybe based on Son of Dathomir?

I think it was just sort of a "shirtless maul is cool but we don't have the budget in this polybag for robo legs", but if you want a specific source, I'm pretty sure one of the Luceno novels mentions him being shirtless in a training scene. (Plaguies or shadow hunter)

For some reason eurobricks won't let me say junior-space-ized but it doesn't catch me making a certain typo on shirt

I’m looking to sell off some of my collection. I thought this forum had a market section but can’t find it now. Is eBay my best option?

https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/forum/16-buy-sell-trade-and-finds/ I have used this before.

But personally I find ebay to have worked out better for me - it probably depends on location - I imagine if I was near to London maybe it would have been different but not being that close to other members meant it was never really that easy to do. 

If your selling off any MOCs then there are some things to be aware of with using ebay - IP protection has long arms.

I've been looking at bricklink and was looking at Zam Wessel when I realised there's a massive price difference between her torso (roughly 5 cad) and legs (nearly 70 cad) price. What's with the discrepancy? Some massive surplus of Zam torsos in circulation?

Looks like its less a surplus of torsos and more a shortage of legs. The other parts (helmet and head) are both exclusive as well, but have about the same quantity in circulation. Maybe there is a durability problem with the legs in sand purple? I honestly have no idea
