Piranha Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) Very cool! This sounds like a good excuse to purchase the Maersk Train! SW sets only though, sadly and I don't know which one to get or if multiple SW purchases count (for example; 3 $25 set)s? too bad it isn't guaranteed you will get this figure with the purchase I would prefer a black/chrome classic scout rather than an ARF No, it says "a chance to get (...) while supplies last", so it could just mean "You'll get the fig if we still have it in stock". At least that's what I hope it means. I am going to ask the store if they have any left before I buy anything Is it one per person? or group pricing like $150 you get two, $300 you get four etc? That would be worth spending the money I need to buy the DS anyway, that is 4-5 of them Wow, I'm soo hunting this one And please use our S@H link in the blog, when shopping. That way you get a promo fig and we get some money for more prizes +1 for those shopping online, (I am going in person for this baby ) I also wonder if like the chrome stormies ($13 or more to get one, BL is $10 +) the amount needed to get one will reflect aftermarket like $75 each?. edit: also since I am spending over $75 do I get the ice cube tray (mentioned at bottom) as well as the fig? edit 2: also it says May 3rd or Fourth, so you can get one on May the 3rd??

Dumbfire Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 I wouldn't mind getting something "big" around that time if the minifigure is wroth something and its guaranteed that you get one as long as they still have it in stock. Quote
General Magma Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) Looks interesting. Luckily, my birthday is on "May the Fourth" too - that figure would be a great extra thing to get along with my purchase of the 10212. As mentioned by someone else earlier, I'm suspecting a chrome ARF trooper as well, or a black one with a silver visor, somewhat like the shadow scout troopers. Or maybe it won't even turn out to be an ARF trooper at all. ~ General Magma Edited April 3, 2011 by General Magma Quote
Fives Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 I'm more interested about the dates of the Lego Store Toronto grand opening! And I'll get an extra minifig the first time I go. AWESOME! WHAT!?! There is going to be a Lego Store in Toronto!?! Where!?! When!?! AHHHHHHH! Quote
Bane Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Whatever it is, it's gonna be awesome. But is this promo fig available everywhere or is this only in some countrys? As I live only 5 minutes of the Berlin store, getting one shouldn't be too hard. After the White Boba I've won here, a black ARF trooper would be cool. Or a clone ARF who has a name in the series and with special prints. Quote
DarthR2-D2 Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Just because its a silouhette (sp?) of an ARF trooper doesn't mean It's going to be an ARF trooper. I vote for a chrome clone trooper. Quote
Frolando22 Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Very cool! This sounds like a good excuse to purchase the Maersk Train! I think it has to be a Star Wars set. My bet is that its a Camo-ARF or perhaps not an ARF at all. TLG has pulled tricks on us before. But either way, I'm going to try my best to get it. Quote
Solscud007 Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 (edited) Hey guys, I dont know if this is just my store but i was checking out the time the store opens (10am) so I can rush the store first thing on May 4th, gonna tell my boss im coming in late. Anyway all month of May you can have a free Lego SW keychain with qualifying SW lego purchase. http://stores.lego.com/en-us/Westnyack/birthday.aspx Also i dont think "chance" means you have to do anything crazy to get the figure. I think they just say that so people who miss out (cause they get all bought up) cant complain. If they promise that EVERY $75 SW purchase gets the minifig, then you will have upset people if there is a shortage. Edited April 4, 2011 by Solscud007 Quote
Piranha Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 I also wonder if it will come in a polybag or is just a fig, most likely a polybag one, I wonder if the polybag will be opaque and have the image of the silhouette of the ARF, so you have to open to find out what the fig is? Chrome ARF, different printing, shadow will all be fine for me. Or something else possibly? It runs on May 3 and May 4 so two days?? Quote
Delta 38 Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Ooh. If it's actually an exclusive minifigure, then it's a shame I'll be missing out on it. I'm interested to see what it is, though. Quote
Drock Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Hey guys, I dont know if this is just my store but i was checking out the time the store opens (10am) so I can rush the store first thing on May 4th, gonna tell my boss im coming in late. I think it's actually the 3rd and 4th, per the calendar. So be sure to tell your boss you'll be late on the 3rd ;) Quote

Cpt. Dan Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Great ARF trooper, I cannot wait until the new line comes out in May. Quick question though for 2011 to everyone else - for Clone Wars fans, I am sure some of you have seen the trailer featuring the Phase II armor on some clones, including a picture of Rex and Wolffe. Does anyone think that TLC will have the PII clones in a 2011 line? I would love to get my hands on a Rex, I would make one now but I am not very good at customizing but I am pretty excited to see what people will be making in the coming months. Quote
StoutFiles Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 I would have rather had a sale. TLG finally caught on that just about everyone would buy a flaming bag of crap if it came with an exclusive minifig. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 I think it's actually the 3rd and 4th, per the calendar. So be sure to tell your boss you'll be late on the 3rd ;) Which of course brings up the question for those of us who might not want it based on what it turns out to be, do you get it on the 3rd to guarantee they won't run out, or take your chances on the 4th when you know what it is? Or do you just figure a free 'fig is a free 'fig? Quote

On Bricklink, 8 Visual Dictionary Lukes have been sold so far in April for $12.00 each, more than half the cover price of the book. Edited April 4, 2011 by Drock Quote
-JD- Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 (edited) Ooooooh! Someone *ahem* will have to get one of theses for me. I reckon, if it is an ARF variant, it might be a Stealth Ship pilot. I mean, they have similar helmets, right? LEGO have done things like this before, for instance with the old TIE Pilot with the Stormie helmet. Still, this'd be a sweet figure! Thanks for brightening up my day buddy! Edited April 4, 2011 by Jammiedodger714 Quote

I would love to get my hands on a Rex, I would make one now but I am not very good at customizing but I am pretty excited to see what people will be making in the coming months. I also wonder if they will do a new phase II helmet with a closed visor w/face (like a stormtrooper or current CW Clone) instead of the open face visor (like CW Clone and EP2 Clone). I am not sure which phase I like better Is there a picture of Rex in it? Good chance to get our hands on a 501st print helmet. Which of course brings up the question for those of us who might not want it based on what it turns out to be, do you get it on the 3rd to guarantee they won't run out, or take your chances on the 4th when you know what it is? Or do you just figure a free 'fig is a free 'fig? I would say the third at the time they open, "free" exclusive SW fig is always a good thing. Now I think I will have to post in the what set should I buy thread to get $75 worth Quote
Bane Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 The stealth ship clone pilot guy would be awesome. He looks amazing IMO and would be perfect for a special role for my upcoming comic. It would be nice if one of you could answer my question, will this promotion fig be available in every Lego store or is it exclusive to some countries? Quote

Now I think I will have to post in the what set should I buy thread to get $75 worth There is only one that I have seen from one of the trailers. Rex is on a platform with what looks like Jesse, possibly Fives and someone else, but people are also saying it could be Appo. Rex has an ARC pauldron with the ammo pouches on it too. He looks sick and when I saw it the only thing I could think of was how much I wanted to make one, haha. I guess I will have to make another Arealight Order and find some decals for Jaig eyes and some paint to get this going... It's gonna be interesting that's for sure . Quote

The markings indicate one is Jesse. The one behind Rex is Kix and so the one to the right must be Hardcase all from the Deserter!! Quote
