June 23, 200915 yr Luckly for me all the new sets are here, in NZ and im ripping into my savings just to buy em!All teh new ones are out in NZ. They are on Shop@Home here in the UK too, but he's describing a new Obi-Wan set that 'splits in two'. Whether he means the Pirate Tank, I don't know.
June 23, 200915 yr apologies if I've missed this somewhere, but I did search in what I thought were relevant threads... I was in John Lewis on saturday, and saw a CW Obi Wan Kenobi's ship "it splits into two!" which I hadn't seen mentioned before, and certainly can't see on the S@H site.... just wondered if I've missed something obvious... also, have the CW boxes changed in the past couple of weeks - none of them seem to say what minifigs are in them anymore...... Hmmm... That sounds like this to me.

Actually, I sounds like this, which is not LEGO at all: Now the question is: did you see the hyperdrive ring, this set (mistaking it for a LEGO set), or a completely new, exclusive, never-before-seen set like this one?

Trust me, making a mistake is much better than just making up a set just to get attention (unless it's on april 1st, of course ).
June 26, 200915 yr Sweet, the new sets are on lego.com US. Y-Wing and Endor are available now; the rest are listed as backordered.
June 26, 200915 yr It's funny. I have been waiting for the new sets to be available on S@H US, but now that they are I don't really want any of them.
June 26, 200915 yr It's funny. I have been waiting for the new sets to be available on S@H US, but now that they are I don't really want any of them. It's all about the thrill of the chase, I guess.
June 26, 200915 yr Wow, LEGO prices really seemed to have skyrocketed over the last few years. I mean really, 25 USD for just over 150 pieces? Yeah I realize that there are new molds, but sheesh. At least the two that I want will ship just a few days before my birthday, so I'm happy with that. BUt why is LEGO waiting so late after they put them up to ship them?
June 27, 200915 yr Hey def i think thats a good price for the 7778. In NZ its $69, so with that Chromie Vader in it i reckon its a bargain (sorry if im price ranting and abit off-topic, im not meaning to be) CommanderFox Edited June 27, 200915 yr by CommanderFox
June 27, 200915 yr So does it have a chrome darth vader inside?? If that's so then I was gravely mistaken about this set
June 27, 200915 yr So does it have a chrome darth vader inside?? If that's so then I was gravely mistaken about this set No, a chrome Vader was attached to the box as a special release promotion for Japan at a fair. In NZ its $69 $69 NZD or $69 USD? $69 NZD is equivalent to $45 USD. def's price is $75 USD. EDIT: I read a comment made by legoman in a different thread, and he said that it costs $70 NZD. So I'm guessing the price you said was in NZD... Edited June 27, 200915 yr by ILikePi

June 29, 200915 yr Aplogies if someone has already asked this, but I just got my brickmaster today and saw the Home One advertised, so when can we expect to see it in stores for the US? As it wasn't realeased recently with the rest of the new wave
June 29, 200915 yr From what I've heard this set will go 'live' in August. But it is certainly strange that CopMike has gotten his hands on one during BrickWorld. Which was good for us, since it gave us a review of it

Which was good for us, since it gave us a review of it Great, thanks for the info KimT, I was curious about that, and since we have receive so much coverage of the set, I was wondering if it was still set for the fall like it was when the set was still being voted upon!
June 29, 200915 yr Not sure how believable this is, but Wookieepedia says that the Pirate Tank will be released in the IS on August 1.
June 29, 200915 yr I've just noticed that the Pirate Tank and Home One sets are up on LS@H Europe but are listed as not available yet. Looks like the sets might be about to be released? David PS I forgot to add that the mid-scale Millenium Falcon is showing up as available for €29.99. Edited June 29, 200915 yr by Dfenz
June 30, 200915 yr Has anyone in the US seen the new wave actually in stores, like Target or Toys R Us, I currently haven't seen the new wave on the websites, but I'm wondering if they're in stores. So, has anyone seen them?

So, has anyone seen them? I went too two different targets today with no luck. Not only in star wars, but no new sets at all. My local TRU had all new sets excluding indy and SW a week or two ago, so they might have the rest in soon.

So, has anyone seen them? Toys R Us pays Lego to receive the sets first, so they will be the first store (other than S@H and Lego Stores) to receive them. As of yet, I haven't heard even one report of the new Star Wars or Indy sets being found in any stores besides S@H though.
June 30, 200915 yr Magnetset Force Unleashed is also available in S@H Europe, but 12,50€ instead of 9,99€. I better buy another TPM Magnetset before it gets the price increase, too. Chrome Stormies still not available in europe S@H. I begin to ask myself why the Stores already have the figs and the S@H is still too lazy to offer it...
June 30, 200915 yr The remaining new sets are available now on Shop@Home UK. 7753 Pirate Tank: £31.29 7754 Home One Mon Calamari Star Cruiser: £88.09 7778 Mid-scale Millenium Falcon: 29.35
