Masked Builder Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 Just ordered 7959 Geonosian Starfighter, and 7957 Sith Nightspeeder from Toys"R"us.com. With the BOGO it's not a half bad price. Now to wait till the frigate goes on sale..... Quote
sharky Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) I had $5 in TRU reward dollars and an e-mail coupon for 20% off a single item only good for Saturday 7/16. So, I ended up getting 7956 Ewok Attack set. On Sunday I saw the BOGO 50% sale, so I ordered an 8129 AT-AT(yay!) and the new 7962 Podracer set. I think both of these are really nice classic sets that represent their respective movies quite nicely. Edit: A series of unfortunate events has led to a change in plans. My AT-AT that I ordered online and was supposed to be a store pick-up got canceled. TRU stated that it was no longer available at my store for pick-up. I'm not sure why because they still have plenty on the shelf even today. Also, the Podracer set got put on backorder. So, I just canceled the entire order went down to my local TRU and ended up getting the Battle of Endor and the Podracer set. BTW, I got the podracer set for $89.99 because that was the price on the shelf tag. Overall, I'm still a happy camper. Edited July 20, 2011 by sharky Quote

Very ambitious rick14, but if the price scares you start out small and buy one set at a time and wait for the Retialer's to have their sales. You can really save some mony if you shop around and have patience. Ebay can be great for bargins, but I know how you feel you just want all of them, NOW! Good luck with your purchases. Quote
Stash2Sixx Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Aluminum Falcon, Republic Frigate, Anakin and Sebulba's Podracers, and Sith Nightspeeder! VIP Cards are awesome! Quote
ISDAvenger Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) Thanks to the TRU discount, picked up a Falcon and a Hoth Base for a decent price. Luckly the store I went in had them in stock, the new sets have been rather sparse out here on the west coast. Built the Hoth Base last night and just got done with the Falcon. I must say both sets are pretty cool, but could use some improvements. Edited July 21, 2011 by ISDIronClaw Quote

Mr Man Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Complete 7915 Imperial V-Wing Starfighter from Amazon for £10, I'm just waiting for it to arrive. Quote
Vindicare Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 My recent Lego store visit bounty 7961 Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator 7879 Hoth Echo Base 8086 Droid Tri-Fighter Quote
ISDAvenger Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Sith Nightspeeder and Ewok Attack, buy 1 get 1 50% off at TRU deal. It will be awhile before I pull the trigger on the rest of the new sets. I am saving for the new SSD. Quote
RileyC Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 I recently bought the Battle of Geonosis. I really like the set too. The turret is a lot bigger than what I expected it to be and the tilting mechanism works really well and is hidden nicely. The minifigs are really nice in this set too. Luminara even though she is a Clone Wars minifig, has a great head piece and the printing on the legs and torso both link up well on mine. Captain Rex is good to get as the only other set he's been in is the AT-TE which was a tad too expensive. Now I have a taste for the named Clones. I guess I'll have to buy the Genosian Starfighter now for Cody. Though I have two annoyances with the set. One is the trigger for the big bullet is red which sticks out like a sore thumb on the turret. And the other is the Droid can't really sit well in the seat of the turret because its tiled and it just slides around easily. But other than that it's a very good set to boost your CIS defensives up with! Quote
DetroitBricks Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 3 Mandalorian battle packs I snagged on the cheap. Quote
Final Exit Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 7965 Millenium Falcon and last night I bought 7964 Republic Frigate Quote
pedro Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Not so much a purchase, rather that I got a 8098 Clone Turbo Tank at the weekend for my birthday. It was a fun build, lots of features and a great line-up of minifigs. I reckon I'll MOD it with a lower hull section where the wheels attach. Quote
Petit-bleu Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 (edited) And the other is the Droid can't really sit well in the seat of the turret because its tiled and it just slides around easily. I think you are supposed to fix the droid hands to the control panel To remain on topic i just bought the last Slave. I really like it. Edited July 26, 2011 by Petit-bleu Quote

Brickdoctor Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Got a Kit Fisto keychain, which was rather beat up from sitting in a clearance bin at one of the Brand Stores, but at 98¢, I couldn't resist. Quote
pedro Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Impulse bought 7962 Anakin & Sebulba's Podracers today and got a small discount on it too. Turned on Episode I to get me in the mood for the build! And a good build it was, lots of fun and some really nice techniques. God knows where I'm going to display it... Quote
22kane Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Just got the Rebel Trooper Battle Pack 8083 for $1 off!! Yeah, yeah big deal. Waiting on another Target clearance event to clean up. Quote
Brickus Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Hoth Echo Base and Naboo Starfighter, both good sets. Quote
bootz Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 I just picked up the newest version of Lukes landspeeder. Finally got a 3po and r2 so I'm pretty happy about that. Quote
Petit-bleu Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Just got 4478, the old geonosian fighter on a yard sale (i hope i said it right). The ship is really ugly, the cannon is funny but the geonosian figs are awesome. Quote
toycardriver Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 I just found the T-6 jedi shuttle for $29.99 and the TIE Defender for 34.99 at Target on clearance. Didn't plan on getting either, but couldn't pass up the price. Quote
brickbuilder Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Just scored a 7676 Gunship for $30. Also bought a Dropship with AT-OT, 9 Clone Walker Battle Packs, and 9 7913 Clone Trooper Battle Packs. Quote
foolio93 Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) I got the Mandalorian and Clone Trooper sets last week. It's pretty cool to have four Jango Fett looking minifigs; I always wanted one! EDIT: I just got the Rebel Trooper Battle pack and the Sith Nightspeeder. Edited August 4, 2011 by foolio93 Quote
