I will keep posted. They are all available in the uk from www.supertoys.co.uk

(Hothbricks links to Spains version of Amazon btw) *disclaimer* Trust buying from the Spanish Amazon at your own risk, I have only just placed my order so have not received it yet. I will keep posted. There's no risk with Amazon.es: it's a regular and dependable Amazon service like any other. However, their current prices on the Star Wars ARE simply amazing, considering the S@H prices: discounts of up to 35%! I 'came to the party' a little earlier than the Hothbricks guys: I ordered the Skiff and the Palace on May 29th, and both were shipped today (strangely, through Post.nl: my own local Dutch postal service). They are scheduled to arrive on Tuesday, June 5th, but I wouldn't be surprised if they showed up tomorrow. One word of caution: on Brickset I did see messages from two different people who had ordered these same two sets on Amazon.es. Both of whom had also received shipping notices, but both for just one of the two sets they ordered: one was only receiving the Skiff, and the other only the Palace! And one of these guys had actually placed his order a full day before I had! Still, I'm sure they'll get more stock in the coming weeks.
June 1, 201212 yr Not to many buys last month. Just the UCS SSD on May the forth and 2 TC-14 Also ordered the 2009 Comic-Con Mini Dropship & AT-TE as it was bugging me that it was missing from my collection. I also have another Retail flag/banner on order from BL.
June 2, 201212 yr Yesterday I got the Republic Striker Fighter, today the Fury-class Interceptor Will be buying the Skiff somewhere next week as well Regards, Mitch
June 3, 201212 yr Delighted with the new gungan sub - sorted out the dreadful original and a bafflingly long absence Hope it isn't getting overlooked by its more controversial sister sets - and that Padme is something of a fans dream...
June 4, 201212 yr Ordered the Republic Strike-Fighter last night. Just need to save some pennies to order the Fury Interceptor now.
June 6, 201212 yr Just got the 9497 Republic Striker Class Starfighter (Anyone thought that this was a long name?) and 9678 Twin-Pod Cloud Car and Bespin as well from the TRU in Calais, France. I actually got a 5 Euros off through a voucher I picked up!
June 6, 201212 yr (...)I ordered the Skiff and the Palace on May 29th, and both were shipped today (strangely, through Post.nl: my own local Dutch postal service). They are scheduled to arrive on Tuesday, June 5th, but I wouldn't be surprised if they showed up tomorrow. (...) Amazon.es was right . Both arrived in perfect condition yesterday. An incredible €60 difference between their price and the regular Dutch retail price for Jabba's Palace!!! And a €10 difference on the Desert Skiff! Definitely going to check out that Amazon site more often. And I can't wait to build both the Skiff and the Palace tomorrow!!!
June 9, 201212 yr Yesterday I purcased the 9678 Twin-pod Cloud Car, Bespin (love that Lobot) and the 9679 AT- ST, Endor, from the second planet series, they are just great, have to get more endors for the imperial AT- ST-s and their drivers.
June 9, 201212 yr Received my Sith Fury Class Interceptor yesterday from Amazon.es, I must say, for the £61 that I paid for it from their huge discount, most certianly made this set VERY good value for money, I can't help but feel I've 'won' with this set, everything is awesome in it, the minifigs are just brilliant, and the build is most definitely enjoyable and entertaining. The final item is very cleverly built with the way the wings move!
June 9, 201212 yr Also just ordered the 9500 set from Amazon.es for Euro 76,30 incl shipping. Thnx for the info.
June 11, 201212 yr Just picked up set 9500 on ebay. Sold from the guys who do brickshow.com. No box but all pieces, figs, and instructions. $64 including shipping. Now thats a deal.
June 12, 201212 yr Most recent: UCS Super Star Destroyer w/ the Freebie TC-14. A week after I built and displayed the ship, I got a call that my shelf collapsed. Got home later to find the SSD, newest Falcon and Home One on the floor and bed. Edited June 19, 201212 yr by OG Legomaniac

Got home later to find the SSD, newest Falcon and Home One on the floor and bed. That is terrible. I am sorry, hopefully the rebuild process isn't to terrible.

June 13, 201212 yr Honestly! haha Yous speaking from experience as well? yes, speaking from bitter experience. NEVER NEVER use those shelfs for lego
June 16, 201212 yr Last few days saw several lego purchases (well, orders): - 10188 Death Star (my son's own purchase from his birthday money) - 9500 The Old Republic Fury-class interceptor (62 euros from amazon.es - nothing to complain about) - 9493 X-Wing starfighter (53 euros from amazon.de) And finally my wife surprised me after she came home from shopping: She bought 9488 battle pack (Arc-Trooper & Commando Droids) and five sets of 9489 (Endor Rebel trooper & Imperial Trooper) for 6,50 euros each - quite a bargain here. Guess it was some kind of sell-out.
June 16, 201212 yr Grabbed a few of the planets on special yesterday: 9676 TIE Interceptor & Death Star 9677 X-wing Starfighter & Yavin 4 9678 Twin-Pod Cloud Car & Bespin 9679 AT-ST & Endor (I tend to only grab OT Star Wars so left the other two sets on the shelf) First impression is that the mini-models are pretty cool, especially the TIE Interceptor and AT-ST. Lobot in particular is a nice minifig, the rest are still good but kind of generic pilots. I really like the presentation of the final model, with the minifig and ship on a stand, and the printed 'title' plate. Not sure what to do with the planets though. They're a bit useless and (apart from the Death Star) look fairly ordinary so will probably go in a box somewhere. At any rate, I'm sure LEGO will continue this series and look forward to seeing what they come up with.
June 16, 201212 yr I purchased minifigs from 9494. I am amazed at how awesome they are. Today I also ordered Bossk and non CW Barriss Offee from BL. I am slowly collecting all the figs I want without buying whole sets.
June 17, 201212 yr Thanks to Mutley's pics which included 2x 8019 Republic attack shuttles... I finally bit the bullet and bought one off ebay for £29.90... no box but everything else included... not bad I think?
