The two new battle packs of 2012.

*Finally* picked up my first 8089 Hoth Wampa Cave today (!), along with one copy apiece of the OT Hoth battlepacks, all on clearance for half price - huzzah! I think I shall get a few more shortly.

Took advantage of the current 50% clearance going on at Walmart. Picked up the following:

Rebel Trooper BP x4

Snowtrooper BP x4

Hoth Wampa Cave x2

Emperor Palpatine's Shuttle x2

Slave I x2

PLO Koon's Starfighter x2

SW Advent Calendar x2

Pretty happy with what I was able to find. The only thing I wanted and couldn't find was the Mace Windu's Starfighter set.

9488 Elite Clone Battlepack & 9490 Droid escape, both are beautiful sets. Exceptional minifigs in both.

I just bought set 7133, Bounty Hunter Pursuit on a Dutch site, in great condition (missing Obi though), for 31 euro

It's quite a good deal, considering Zam Wesell is being sold there for 20 euro (and that does not include shipping )

Got Geonosian Cannon and Droid Escape sets today. Loving them minifigures.

Got the Naboo Fighter, Republic Frigate, and the LEGO Star Wars Clone Wars video game for the Wii for Christmas this year. Then the day after Christmas I picked up Mace Windu's Jedi Starfighter on clearance at Walmart. WAY overpriced at it's original $40, but for $20 it was an easy buy.

Going to order 7959 Geonosian Starfighter and 8086 Droid Tri-Fighter.

Still looking for 7869 Battle For Geonosis but at 50€ plus about 6€ transport on most websites (can't find it in a store) it's just waaaay too expensive.

Suggestions for a cheaper online store are more then welcome

Got the orange creamsicle Clone Troopers Battle Pack and Hoth Rebel Troopers Battle Pack in the mail today from Amazon.

I bought the Geonosian Starfighter just before Christmas for just under £15 from Tesco. Really nice model of the fighter, Geonosian and Cody are cool, Ki Adi's face is pretty poor though. Will probably substitute it with an alternate, appropriate head.

Yesterday I picked up two of the new Elite Clone Trooper & Commando Droid Battlepack and one Droid Escape. As seen in Mutley's review the battle pack minifig selection is damn fine. I was a little disappointed with Droid Escape though - I was dazzled by the minifig selection and bought it on impulse. Unfortunately my C3PO has half his eyes printed across his face! The sandtroopers are really fantastic though but once the minifigs are out of the way you're left with a fairly unexciting escape pod and a basic swoop. I'd recommend it only if you want the minifigs - like me. Hopefully you won't get a poorly printed C3PO - like me.

Bought used

6211 Star Destroyer -complete

6207 A Wing -complete

7659 Imperial Landing Craft -complete

7264 Imperial Inspection - which was only missing the Hanger Base, but it is ok because I have a Hanger Base my first 7624, which I bought incomplete due to missing a couple mini figures.

I got all the sets for $140.00. I think I got a really good deal and was pretty excited to find this deal on Craigslist. I also got the 7964 Republic Frigate for Christmas. Not a bad way to end the year.

That is a very sweet deal indeed. The star destroyer alone goes for at least that.

I've just purchased the new X-wing.

I have also purchased the new X-Wing (9493).

Well December ended up being a busier month than I thought it would for SW buys. Apart from the 2012 sets the others were all on sale!

I passed on the new TIE and X-WING since i have some all ready

:thumbup:

Due to financial liquidity issues, I'll only be getting 1x each of the BPs anytime soon. I'll hold out for a sale on the rest of them.

To keep this on topic, I picked up two of the mini polybagged Venators (ok, I know it doesn't say Venator, but that's what it is) from another forum member who scored them at 90% off. 39 cents is a fantastic price to pay for LEGO.

I just ordered 4 of the new Clone battle pack. I'm really low on money, but I plan on getting the X-Wing in the near future.

I bought two 7959 Geonosian Starfighters yesterday and recieved a Mandalorian Battlepack for Christmas.

I just have to hunt myself down a Bounty Hunter Assault Gunship and an Imperial V-WIng and I'm all done for the 2011 sets. OK, maybe a second Clone Battle Pack too..

I recently got Emperor Palpatine's Shuttle. Nice craft, wish its wings could maybe change according to postion or maybe just a mechanism to lower them, but oh well. It has nice landing gear, and you can simply pluck off the cockpit because it's secured by only two technic pins.

Don't know if I am the only one here but I keep a track of all my purchases in a doc file. I have all the sets and figs I have bought since 2006 listed by year. I find it keeps me up to date with what I have and don't have. The (U) is for unopened sets. This was 2011.

Okay, and now some pictures of your storage.

I just finished building the UCS SuperStar Destroyer. I was really lucky to find it for CAD300 in Montréal so I jumped right on that deal. I have to say I really like it. It's obviously nowhere near the awesomeness of the UCS ISD but that's only because that one is just too far out of reach.

Although I have to admit I don't think I would have ever bought it for the full price.

One thing I don't quite understand, though, is why people keep complaining about the flat bottom. From what pictures I found of the model from the movie, I find it actually ok. It's got the big hangar bay with a change of color and some indentation to give it an illusion of detail and depth and the engines look fantastic. I admit, it could have done with a little more greeble to break the surface but it doesn't need much considering the scale of the thing. And when you think about it, the bottom of the ISD was lacking quite a bit as well, the hangar bay being just a hole in the hull that let you see the inside frame and there wasn't even the shield generator dome at all.

So all il all, I definietely don't see that as a deal breaker (to me, that would be the original price). It's still a really good UCS model.

Now I just need to find where to display that beast...

Lego Republic Swamp Speeder for $20 from Lego.com.

7956 Ewok Attack, that means my first Ewok set.

For 22€ it seemed an OK price.

good idea mutley, could probably muster a decent list myself given the amount of 2011 sets and ebay purchases i made last year
