kamigawa Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 I suppose noone is really interested, but I will post it anyway since it's relevant for this thread: neither the Imperial Shuttle nor the Jedi Starfighter will be available in Italy, even for the biggest LEGO shops. It seems that TLG won't make them available here, and people will have to order them directly at S@H with their horrible shipping fees (30+ euros for the most expensive packages when 100% of the shops will send the box for free if you've spent more than 230-250 euros? What the hell? I thought it would have been the contrary!!). Quote
Solscud007 Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 The shuttles nearly here . Im going to the lego store on September the 2nd to get it for 20% off with the V.I.P voucher in the September calender I don't recall seeing this voucher in the calendar. However I rather spend the money on the dropship set. Quote
Darth Jar Jar Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 I don't recall seeing this voucher in the calendar. However I rather spend the money on the dropship set. Hmm I just checked the calender and its there. Yea I already got the drop ship maybe I should get another before its discontinued and get the UCS Shuttle for more money off Quote
RileyC Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 Imperial shuttle can now be bought from S@H! Im eagerly awaiting a review! Quote
gingerling1980 Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 My 1st post so please be gentle. My Son is going on and on for this set for Xmas. I understand Lego stopped selling it in the UK in april. Do Lego ever start making sets that were once obsolete? I don't really fancy paying ebay prices, to be honest I probabley cant afford to.

Siegfried Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 My 1st post so please be gentle. Well I will in that case... No; TLG don't do that, and even if they did it would be in about 10 years. Your best bet is Bricklink. Quote

KimT Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 This question belongs in the Star Wars Sets Anyone? I'll move/merge it there shortly. Quote
gingerling1980 Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 This question belongs in the Star Wars Sets Anyone? I'll move/merge it there shortly. Sorry about that. It appears bricklink prices are higher than ebay! It looks like I will be getting him a Death Star instead Quote
KimT Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Don't be sorry - It's perfectly understandable. We've got a zillion topics in here and it can be hard to figure out where to post what. That's why I'm around The Death Star is a cool set indeed. It's actually got a lot more playability and figs than the MIllenium Falcon, eventhough that's a waaay more iconic set. Best of luck with the X-Mas gift mission Quote

Brickdoctor Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 One more quick question, does anyone know if Lego intend to soon stop selling the Death Star? I'd expect to see it disappear by the Summer 2011 release, as it was a 2008 release. Or they might go the MF route, and discontinue it after a final sale during the May the Fourth be with You event. Of course, the X-wing's been around for 4+ years, now. Quote
mutley777 Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 Well I will in that case... No; TLG don't do that, and even if they did it would be in about 10 years. Your best bet is Bricklink. Holy Cow! I did not realise the price of this set had gone up so fast! Really wishing I had bought a second one to sell like I was going to do at the time! Well I should just be happy that I bought it in the first production run. Quote
omot Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 White Boba Fett returns ... ... in Legoland Günzburg (Germany) ... but only this weekend (cause there is a great StarWars-Event, the "German Garrison" as a SW-Reenectment-Group take part) When you buy Lego-staff for 75 EUR or more you'll get one (white boba) for free ... hope, my friend get one for me Quote

Yea but lego keep the X-Wing in production so they dont have to design a new one every 2+ years lazy TLG Quote

Danthebrick Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 Boots is running it's usual Xmas Mix and Match offer again in the UK and has several of the Star Wars lego included. Of the new wave there are Slave 1, Grievous' Starfighter and Plo Koons starfighter so if you buy Slave 1 and Grievous' you'd get Plo Koons FREE! Shame not every set in this wave is available else I'd have a field day! Quote
Oky Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 The magnet set with Anakin, Ahsoka, and Senate Commando has been spotted in Singapore, along with Anakin, Senate Commando, and Clone Pilot keychains. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 (edited) Bricktober has now begun at TRU, which means you can get free classic magnets, free shipping, free $10 gift cards, and up to 30% off LEGO sets. The 30% deal beats the guaranteed discount of 10% off at TLC's Black Friday sale, even after you factor in VIP Reward points, but the only qualifying SW sets are the CTT and ARC-170. via FBTB. EDIT: Oops, this has already been posted in the Buy/Sell/Trade/Finds forum. Edited October 3, 2010 by Brickdoctor Quote
Future74 Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 For all the dutch eurobrickers: 7748 Corporate Alliance Tank Droid at Kruidvat store for € 20,00 Quote
KimT Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 EDIT: Oops, this has already been posted in the Buy/Sell/Trade/Finds forum. Who cares? This is for availability and such and the Bricktober sure has to do with just that... at least enough to warrant a post in this topic as well. I rarely visit the BSTF-Forum and thus a topic as this is kinda welcome in the Star Wars Forum along with the eBay listings by Zorro. Quote

The one time I actually visited and found out that the info was already in another topic and wrote so in my post with apologies, the mod actually doesn't care?!?! Either way, there's more new details here. Quote
KimT Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Wont matter. The figs are all Chinese and similar to the poor quality of the vintage minifig collections. :thumbdown: Quote
