Star Wars sets anyone?

[Legoman]

Brung over from the 2011 sets topic:

From what I found out on the website Emperor got the link to the pic for Windu's fighter, it sounds like the set will be around $55 US, but that makes it nearly $74 NZ dollars which is insane. My guess is it will be around the Swamp speeders price.

Hope this is okay and not off topic.

Well, If it were $55US, then It would probably be $110-120 in NZ, unfortunately. It's just the way things are - exchange rates have no meaning in the world of lego.

However, Lucky for you, Apparently it'll be $40US Which means Probably $80-90NZ, but that is still a lot really

Yes it is. I wish the cloning brands would hurry up and release lots of fake lego, then if TLG wants a market, they'll have to bring there insane prices down!

This is where I think price-complainers are wrong. The fact that we are willing to spend enormous amountsnon LEGO when there is a cheaper alternative sets us apart from moat other toy consumers. LEGO is more than a toy; it's a hobby and an obsession. We are loyal to LEGO as a Apple and Microsoft fans are to their respective brands. Quality is always better than quantity, and TLG maintains that quality. Even their China products are a lot better than most Chinese-made toys. TLG does still sell many sets at reasonable prices, and even an expensive theme like Star Wars has gotten some good value sets. The midi-scale ISD passes the 10-parts-per-dollar ratio, and many other sets like th UCS Shuttle don't miss by much.

So after someone here posted pics of the BM SW book, I have been anxious to get it. Barnes and Noble say that it comes out in November.

I just found it at Costco, sorry non US people, and it is only $14.79. Not a sale price, just their normal price. They also have the Castle book.

I figured I would post this here as it is SW specific.

Would this be your pic, then? Didn't want to deeplink until I knew for sure.

[Brickdoctor]

Aren't those already on Amazon?

EDIT: Grr, of course since I don't bother to quote, I start a new page. I was referring to the alarm clocks that mutley777 posted.

Not in the UK they aren't. I did not check everywhere else but I know alot of guys have been asking when these were coming out(I was one of them )!

[Brickdoctor]

Via FBTB, Amazon has a number of the SW sets on sale, most notably the ARC-170 for 21% off with no tax and free shipping.

Have ordered 1 of these, you never know it might get my son up in the morning.

[Oky]

The UCS JSF is now available on S@H. If you order in the next couple of days, it qualifies for free shipping and Double VIP points!

And for anyone interested, here are the Amazon US links for the alarm clocks:

Vader

Stormie

I wonder where the Luke one is?

[Masked Builder]

That is odd. Considering he's the one I want (if I get one) I hope he becomes available soon.

[Brickdoctor]

Targets in the US (do Targets exist in other countries?) have 5-10 or so dollars off a variety of sets, most notably $12 off the CTT, which is a 10% discount.

I wonder: a) when they'll be available in Canada and b) why Vader is five bucks cheaper than the Stormtrooper?

Guess: 'Cause black plastic is cheaper than white?

Or Vader got put on sale and the Stormie didn't? Vader looks awkward without a cape.

Hey USA guys. I just found 30051 Mini Xwing at Target.

[WhiteFang]

You could leave this info in here.

There is no need to create a brand new topic to let us know of its availability.
