November 11, 20168 yr Picked the resistance troop transport and the eclipse fighter in the TRU buy one, get one half price deal today (free FO general and 3x minifigure pack too). Lucky I went in when I did, there was a scalper clearing the shelves into a trolley (I gave him a suitably hard stare). Just built the resistance transport - fun build, solid, but SO many stickers... awkward ones too!
November 12, 20168 yr I bought Krennic's shuttle 75156. I actuelly don't like the set, but i wanted the minifigs and it was on sale. From an interior view this is even worse then the Kylo Ren's shuttle. I will also shorten the wings. Don't see why you need those long flaps anyway, they look rediculous. Â
November 13, 20168 yr Bought 7x Rebel A-wing pilot for a decent price from bricklink. I have some of them for sale if anyone wants :) On 12-11-2016 at 9:15 AM, firefox said: I bought Krennic's shuttle 75156. I actuelly don't like the set, but i wanted the minifigs and it was on sale.

What did you pay? I also like to buy it maybe, it's now at TRU Netherlands for 20% off (topdeal) + 15% off when you buy 3 products (happy sunday)... not sure which other products I want to add, not everything is very cheap, but so far got 2x Mixels 41559 Paladum in cart. Other star wars sets are not eligible, except Kylo Ren's shuttle (which is discounted to 80 euros too), could maybe also substitute the Mixels for a fancy bag with ToysRus branding for €1. Shipping is free too.
November 13, 20168 yr I've decided to start picking up some older sets since my collection is mostly complete from 2014 - 2016. I'm still waiting for a few sets from 2016 to go on sale. My long term collection goal is to have the best version (which is usually the newest) of each vehicle and location set from all of the movies. I'm willing to get some Clone Wars and Rebels sets like General Grievous' Starfighter and the new Vader's TIE Advanced if they are better than the other versions. I got all of these sets used on either eBay or Bricklink at decent prices:  75017: Duel on Geonosis 9491: Geonosian Cannon (no minifigures) 7959: Geonosian Starfighter (no minifigures) 7962: Anakin Skywalker and Sebulba's Podracers 8091: Republic Swamp Speeder 8095: General Grievous' Starfighter (no minifigures) 7260: Wookiee Catamaran (no minifigures) 7143: Jedi Starfighter 7115: Gungan Patrol
November 14, 20168 yr Ordered a Yularen polybag from eBay for $15 and my wife bought me the UCS Sandcrawler for Christmas.

Don't see why you need those long flaps anyway, they look rediculous.  I kinda of disagree with you on that one, I am actually pissed the wings are short on the lego set, on other merchandise they are like 2/3 longer than what we got. How hot are Rebel A Wing Pilots? I got four today and did not know anything about them being released already. Edited November 15, 20168 yr by eldiano
November 15, 20168 yr I got the U-wing at a 20% discount in TRU last Friday (67 CHF). I didn't really want this set (I don't normally buy based on unreleased material), but having built it, it's a great vehicle. It's pretty big, and with 5 minifigs, 2 of which are the main protagonists, it was a good catch. The level of screen accuracy remains to be seen, but from the already released material, it looks like the designers got most of the stuff right, the wings might be a bit short, but it's already about the same length as the UCS Slave-I.
November 17, 20168 yr Picked up the CTT, TIE Advanced vs. A-wing, and Encounter on Jakku all on sale at Walmart.Â
November 19, 20168 yr Two Resistance X Wing's from Target with their 20% off deal. Then a slew of Bricklink orders.......$$$$$$$$$. Ugh....but just about done with my MOC, which is quite exciting.
November 19, 20168 yr Received two of each; 75133 and 75134 Battlefront battlepacks from Amazon. There are on sale. I like to have some multiculturalism within the rebel ranks, so that's nice. Already had one of the Empire ones, but I liked it so much I had to have more. I think the imperial dudes will fit in quite nicely with next year's stormtrooper BPs. I am a gonna get me about fifty of those! Also, last weekend TRU was supposed to have the A-Wing pilot free with a purchase. I couldn't find one though, but I did find a lonely FO general, so I just had to give him a good home.
November 19, 20168 yr Bought the U-Wing from Walmart the other day - was very pleasantly surprised. Honestly, I could see this easily becoming as iconic a ship as any of the traditional Alliance fighters - it's just got "the look:" that peculiar blend of sleekness and clunkiness that makes Rebel spacecraft so lovable. As for the Lego build itself... eh. I'm not a huge fan of models that are over 3 part bags - I just start to zone out at some point, and want to be finished. Having said that, there wasn't a ton of Technic, or anything particularly odious about the construction process, so that was pleasant.Â
November 19, 20168 yr I recently found all these at value Village for a grand total of $72 Value Village find by Elephant-Knight, on Flickr No sets are complete (The TIE Advanced is close, though) a couple had some glued parts (Again, the TIE Advanced) and all were a bit dusty. Stuff missing tended to be loose minifigs (All the sets had their pilots, except the snow speeder) and smaller items in the sets. EKnight
November 20, 20168 yr Hadn't bought anything in years, mostly out of teenage self consciousness. Finally realised that doing something you like that doesn't effect anyone else is a lot mature than purposefully not buying toys! Bit the bullet with these sets:  Tydirium Shuttle, On sale for €80 at Smyths Galactic Battlepack, €15 at Smyths Obi Wan's Interceptor, On sale for €13 on Amazon Geonosis Troopers, on sale for €10 on Amazon A Captain Jag figure for to put in the Interceptor for €5 on Amazon Gonna definitely pick up a few of the new Imperial Battlepacks after Christmas but what I really want to do is expand my Republic Army. Do you think they'll do a new Republic Gunship/new AT-TE/UT-AT within the next year or two or will it be completely booked out with Rebels, anthology and new trilogy sets?  Edited November 20, 20168 yr by Mark1006
November 20, 20168 yr Picked up 3 x 75151 Clone Turbo Tank in the Tesco 3 for 2. They have them on sale for £47.49 so it only worked out at £31.36 each. Will build one and sell the other two to cover the cost :) Edited November 20, 20168 yr by Super Hans

November 21, 20168 yr Picked up the CCT, been wanting one for awhile, and Commander Gree. I just really like his color scheme Edited November 21, 20168 yr by Juke
November 22, 20168 yr Tone down my purchases... so just bought 75126 Snowspeeder & 75127 The Ghost microfighters only.
