October 5, 201311 yr Which is your favourite/which do you think is the best? for me, 9498 (green one) is the best of the three as it has the most number of parts and also much more sturdier than the other two. Plus the dark green color is lovely...
October 7, 201311 yr I got the UCS X wing last week. Finished everything excepted for the canopy stickers. I need to get a sharp knife first to cut the sticker. I ordered the B wing after, but waiting for it to arrive, and I got the desert skiff yesterday. Will build it when I get home.
October 8, 201311 yr I picked up the A-Wing fighter and the Sith Trooper/Republic Trooper army builder set over the weekend (the latter because it was on sale at The Lego Store). Haven't bought a Star Wars set in a really long time, but I liked both of these. I thought the A-Wing was a particularly fun build that managed to really resemble its movie counterpart, and Han and the Admiral were nice bonuses beside. Now I'm thinking of getting the Desert Skiff set... another good build (I already helped my son assemble his after his birthday a few months back), and a good assortment of minifigs.
October 8, 201311 yr The A-Wing, Republic Gunship (current wave), Starhopper, Y-Wing, Battle of Hoth, Droid escape, Death Star and Pre Vizsla's Manalorian Fighter for my husband for Christmas. They were all on his want list, I hope enjoys the builds :)
October 8, 201311 yr ^ Thanks! *blushes* I am still in the process of adding more to the pile too, my wardrobe is beginning to ressemble a LEGO stock room :)
October 9, 201311 yr At last I got 7879 Hoth Echo Base which is smaller than i thought but the minifigs more than make up for it. Now to get the Battle of Hoth and the 2010 AT-AT walker and i guess while i am at it try and find a few more cheap Hoth battle packs off bricklink. Also a friend gave me a mini build set from a few years back 4489 AT-AT.
October 9, 201311 yr Got an early christmas present from my aunt , another ewok village and of course im not allowed to open it till christmas. That is the one drawback of having an aunt who likes to shop way early so that she doesnt have to bother with the rush in december.
October 9, 201311 yr 6208 B-Wing Fighter - Good deal on ebay, used but in perfect condition with box and full sticker sheet 8038 The Battle of Endor - Another good ebay deal, NISB for $100 + shipping, I never complain when I get a retired set close to retail. Bought it to go with the Ewok Village, which I plan on purchasing this month. Double points!!
October 9, 201311 yr I ordered Palpatines Arrest this morning to add to the Christmas stack and I have to say I am finding all the SW sets rather exciting :)
October 9, 201311 yr I also just ordered the 7965 Millennium Falcon from Amazon, they have it for $103.19 right now! I was really on the fence with this one, I've been eyeing it for the better part of a year now. I knew I wanted a Lego Falcon, and I while I like this version, but there are some pretty big inaccuracies (size and location of the cockpit, etc). However, I'm also not going to shell out big money for the retired UCS version. I decided to pull the trigger on this, as this is a good price. I feel like this set is due to retire soon, and who knows if and when Lego with remake it. It's also Lego, so I can try to mod it to make it a little more movie accurate. http://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Star-Wars-Millennium-Falcon/dp/B004P95ABG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1381332150&sr=8-1&keywords=lego+millenium+falcon+7965%5C
October 11, 201311 yr Before it will be retired, I picked up Jabbas Palace 9516 from Amazon for 99,99 €. Now I am in pursuit for the Rancor Pit 75005. In addition to that I am bricklinking Millenium Falcon 10179 and Star Destroyer 10030.
October 13, 201311 yr I bought 75020 Jabba's Sail Barge at a local toy store yesterday. They had a 20% discount which always is nice :) Now I have all the 2013 OT sets and can start counting down to 2014 ...

I got this one for my birthday and it was purchased from ebay about $100 brand new. In my opinion paying $100 for it is a steal. You are right about the fact that it needs modding, but it doesn't take many pieces and it was quite fun modifying it for me.
October 14, 201311 yr Got Jabbas Palace for my birthday! Nice set, great figures. Used the chance to mod it right away and give it a bigger base plate with the tower directly attached to the palace. I think that there is a Rancor coming right aroung the corner
October 16, 201311 yr Latest acquisitions: 75015 Corporate Alliance Tank 75017 Duel on Geonosis 9497 Republic Striker-class Starfighter
October 16, 201311 yr I've been dropping hints to the relevant parties about some LEGO for my birthday on Sunday, namely, the recent Homing Spider Droid.
October 17, 201311 yr Was visiting my parents a few weeks back and headed on over to the Woodbridge LEGO Store. Picked up: 75001 Republic Troopers vs. Sith Troopers, was on clearance for under $10, probably wouldn't have picked it up otherwise 75000 Clone Troopers vs. Droidekas, wasn't on clearance but rang up as $9.99 anyways, I'm not complaining 75017 Duel on Geonosis, a new non-Clone Wars Yoda was too much to pass up And snagged myself a free Clone Trooper Lieutenant! Sadly probably the last LEGO sets I'll be getting until my birthday and/or Christmas because I have to spend my money on stupid adult things like rent and food. Sigh...
October 19, 201311 yr Hi i allways loved the Y-Wing, much more than X, A or B. I found the actual Y-Wing too expensive, 50€ and just at TRU and S@H. I got from the latest TRU coupons 20% off a Lego set and i got for 50€ 66411 Superpack A good deal! Dino
October 20, 201311 yr I finally gave in and ordered the UCS B-Wing Following the dismal 'May the Forth' promo (or lack of it, in the UK!) I was determined to wait for a decent sale as a matter of principle, but as it's now discontinued in the US I felt that time was running out to grab it, especially with double VIPs at the moment. I just hope it actually looks better than the photos I've seen of it. It has to be said, I'm fairly underwhelmed with the Lego ordering recently....I spent 50 minutes on hold on Friday night before giving up, and the website today was really struggling to do anything!
October 20, 201311 yr I probably sound like a right greedy bastard, buying myself yet more nice things on my birthday, but I just couldn't pass this deal up! 75004: Z-95 Headhunter, all complete, brand new from Amazon for the meagre price of £22.49! That's 44% off the RRP, I'm pretty damn pleased.
October 21, 201311 yr Oooohh, I feel so blessed! Today I attended LEGOworld and one of the convention stands where one could by (second hand) LEGO products, was selling a blue Clone Lieutenant! I paid €17,50 for it. Besides that, I also purchased 12 Little Arms Shop Clone Trooper rifles Regards, Mitch

October 23, 201311 yr Bought the series 4 planets a few weeks back. And today just ordered the Ewok Village and Hoth Echo Base for double points.
