Legoman Posted May 31, 2009 Author Posted May 31, 2009 yeah i picked up a venator this weekendnot many sets for me this year only going to get: battle of endor and RBR Wow, thats stange, for you I've just been MOCing and made a tauntaun enclosure for my pet tauntauns in my hoth base
harmacy Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 I exhibited huge amounts of restraint, and only bought 2 Echo Bases. Opened and built one, and will keep one boxed for a rainy day. It looks great next to the Motorized ATAT and original 7666 Hoth base. Must say i initially thought that $50 (or $40 via the weekend sales) was overpriced, but I love Love LOVE this set! Cant wait till the Endor set comes out.

Cant wait till the Endor set comes out. Exactly the same thought! Scary... It looks great next to the Motorized ATAT and original 7666 Hoth base. So you still kept some hoth sets? Good on you!
CommanderFox Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 Hey guys just found that.. Home One, Pirate Tank and MF are gonna come out some time at the beggining of August if you allready knew this then yeah anyway... CommanderFox
RileyC Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 Hey guys just found that..Home One, Pirate Tank and MF are gonna come out some time at the beggining of August if you allready knew this then yeah anyway... CommanderFox yay thats no that far way! I wonder how much they will cost...
CommanderFox Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 (edited) well from the website I found that on it says that Home one is $110 but that is probably in US dollars and the rest haven't got prices yet so I'll update you when they do CommanderFox EDIT YAY!!! my 150 post :) Edited May 31, 2009 by CommanderFox
Fumoffu Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 I bought 2 Echo Base, 1 Tank Droid and 1 Sep Shuttle. I'm in love with the Echo Base set too. That E-Web Repeating Blaster is fantastic. Reminds me of WWII german soldiers with their machine guns. I'm debating whether to get Anakin's Ywing (I think this is seriously overpriced at $140) but probably won't. Might end up getting another Echo Base instead. Got until lunchtime to decide. Like you guys I can't wait for the remaining 2009 sets. August might be 2 months away but after seeing these new sets I can't wait now.
CommanderFox Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 Hey Fumoffu I would save that money by instead of using it for another Echo base would save it for the other sets, eg venator, endor base ect hope this helps you CommanderFox
jp-30 Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 I will buy Endor (any one know when that's supposed to be coming?), Home One and another Hoth Base. Not buying any prequel or CW sets. Haven't bought the new Vaders Tie - have the old one from the y-wing double pack, so it's not a priority. Though may pick it up at some stage. Also looking forward to the next Indy Jones wave - I will be buying all those, and possibly 2 Mine Cart chases if I can afford it (Hoping they're under $200).

CommanderFox well from the website I found that on it says that Home one is $110 but that is probably in US dollars and the rest haven't got prices yet so I'll update you when they do CommanderFox That's a US site by the sound's of it. So not exactly NZ news I will buy Endor (any one know when that's supposed to be coming?), Home One and another Hoth Base. Not buying any prequel or CW sets. Haven't bought the new Vaders Tie - have the old one from the y-wing double pack, so it's not a priority. Though may pick it up at some stage.Also looking forward to the next Indy Jones wave - I will be buying all those, and possibly 2 Mine Cart chases if I can afford it (Hoping they're under $200). I got told by a Toyworld fella' that Endor is coming out in late june (i think thats what he said anyway...) and it will be $249.99. Hope this helps I so can't wait for Endor... At $249.99, I might get 2 (if i see them 20% off. They'd be down to $200 ) And the RBR should be good, but i'm yet to see pics of that one...
CommanderFox Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 you guys shore aren't on a tight budget I wish i had that much money on lego CommanderFox
Legoman Posted May 31, 2009 Author Posted May 31, 2009 you guys shore aren't on a tight budget I wish i had that much money on lego CommanderFox Lol... Yeah, well..... Um... I must say i am considering stopping collecting SWL. It is expencive. Don't get me wrong, I'd still buy quite a few sets, i just wouldn't collect one of ever OT/PT set. For EG, the new solar sailor, sure, it's nice, but i really have no need for one. Same with some remakes, i still have the old snow speeder, A, B, Y and X-wing's. They just sit in draws... I seriously wonder if there's as point... Whereas i could sell them, get money to buy more of the sets i do want, and have more money for MOCing. Anyway, I'll let you guys know what i decide...
harmacy Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 (edited) So you still kept some hoth sets? Good on you! Well, Its not quite as large as my previous hoth setup.... This mini diorama actually fits in my house:) Edited May 31, 2009 by harmacy
Legoman Posted May 31, 2009 Author Posted May 31, 2009 Well, Its not quite as large as my previous hoth setup.... This mini diorama actually fits in my house:) Haha! Nice. Have you decided what you're making this year? Also, do you know when the event is? I'd love to come, and might try to come this year!
CommanderFox Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 Hey guys just checked again on the website I was talking about before and the Home one set says its a TRU (toys 'R' us) exclusive and the pirate tank is a Target exclusive and finally the MF is a Wal-Mart exclusive. Now i know these are US shops but from what im getting here is that they MIGHT be exclusives for just ONE store so eg: Kmart might get the MF while Toyworld gets Home one and Warehouse gets the pirate tank...just my ideas but anyway... CommanderFox

CommanderFox I think they willl probably just be toyworld exclusives. they are so selfish
Brickthing Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 I think they willl probably just be toyworld exclusives. they are so selfish Selfish? No, exclusives are exclusives because TLC makes them so, then offers the rights to sell the set to one store only. If no store wants to sell the set, it could be possible that it might not be released at all. Last year the Target Exclusive Yellow Jetrax (BIONICLE set ) never saw NZ shelves at all. Warehouse Albany had Hoth, Sep, Y, and 1 Venator when I went there this evening.
Fumoffu Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Decided not to get the Ywing. Can't justify it but I am hoping that Kmart will stock it cheaper. Just saw the Venator on the Lego website. RRP is $300!! Looks like Toyworld didn't inflate their price on this one. Lego did!!!
CommanderFox Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Just went to Kmart Albany today and all they had was 1 Vaders tie but they do have a 15% off all Lego so Vs tie was only $50 and if the Republic attack shuttles where there they would have only been $85 so anyway hope this helps... CommanderFox

RRP is $300!! Looks like Toyworld didn't inflate their price on this one. Lego did!!! $239 i paid is a good price then abit sad to see it smaller than the 6211 ISD
