Ordered the Rebel Combat Frigate from LEGO.com yesterday

Bought this yesterday - 30496 U-Wing Fighter polybag!

Just bought and built K-2SO (75120) and Death Trooper (75121) buildable figures. They are great. The Trooper's not the most innovative stuff, but looks really menacing. K-2SO is just great and had some nice nuances during the build, lots of sub-assembly within all stages of the build. Love both sets.

 

Visited the flea market today and bought two old Phase II Clone Troopers (7655). They were around 3.5$ each so it was a nice find, since those minifigures are rare nowdays. I would have bought more, but my wallet is empty right now, and I also wanna focus on Empire/Rebel stuff for now.

I snagged the tydirium on Amazon when it was momentarily $70, felt pretty happy with that.  And man Lego has really stepped up their build quality with these sets, much more solidly built than older ones.  And the minifigs look fantastic.

Battle on Scarif
 and the new Imperial Battlepack with the Death Troopers.

Got them in Argos (UK).

Where'd you find that?

Sorry.  Should have mentioned it was at Legoland California.

Krennic's shuttle and the new scarif bunker, which I am very excited about building! 

I was going to get the K=2SO buildable figure, but the arms just look too skinny, so I got Vader instead.

 

Very nice.

Got Y-wing Microfighter for a very young friend :)

Only the microfighters and Y-wing are out where I live. 

I got the First Order battlepack as an early Christmas present today. My first Ep.7 set, I wasn't planning on buying any. I must say the storm troopers are pretty awesome. I built a heavy gun for one and a baton for the other. The officer's head is great, finally have a dark brown head besides Lando. I put it on my clone wars Mace Windu, I know the likeness isn't spot on, but anything is better than clone wars Mace face.  The other dude is cool, too. 

I found 75156 Krennic's Imperial Shuttle priced at $44.99 sale price at a store. Normally I don't buy myself large Lego sets in the month or two before Christmas (especially only three days before Christmas!) But it just so happened my grandparents gifted me exactly $50 at a Christmas party a few weeks back, and I was planning on using that money to save up for 75156 anyways, which I probably was going to buy right after Christmas day... So I decided to jump the gun and buy it now while I know it is on discount instead of waiting after the holidays knowing that it could return back to its normal price. I consider it a my Christmas gift from my Grandparents then; and being on a college student budget finding the set half off was actually a blessing.

 $44.99?! I'm so jealous!  Great find. 

JDbricks, I wasn't planning on collecting Force Awakens either, but trust Lego to make me go back on my promises!  I got a deal on the Millennium Falcon last week, which I planned to (and did) convert back to an OT Falcon with Round Dish and some LBG Wedge Plates.  But then Finn, Rey, Old Han, Chewie and BB-8 were getting lonely on the shelf by themselves, so yesterday I picked up 75139 Battle on Takodana on sale for $40.  Not too bad for Kylo Ren, Finn, Maz and a couple of stormtroopers, and the build was actually pretty fun.  I used the second Finn head to convert one of the Stormtroopers into FN-2187.  I'll probably Bricklink Poe and Phasma - my shelf and wallet can't take too many more Force Awakens sets.

Please tell us where you got it at that price!

Smiths Marketplace; Salt Lake City, Utah. I don't know if the same price is at other Smiths in the nation, but it should be worth checking out.

UCS Tie Fighter for 30% off.

Just got the UCS Sandcrawler 100% complete, still in bags for $229 on ebay. 

Not recent, but the last Star Wars sets bought were the first Star Wars (yellow faces) Snowspeeder & Speeder Bikes.

Picked up the Imperial hover tank last night. For anyone in UK might be worth noting it was from Sainsbury's in store at £22.50  which felt like a billy bargain to me

Got set 75150. Way too pricey in my region but I am loving it! The ships are pretty big considering the vehicles in question. Though I was surprised to see the A-Wing is longer than the TIE. I always thought of them as the smallest of the bunch. 

It is also my first Vader minifigure and I am loving it too, the dark side oozes from it heh heh.

It's a neat set indeed, I love it. You're right on the price, but it feels quite substantial for its parts

Got 75150, 75152, and 21306, as well as a Disney CM and a Simpsons CM. Plus $125 in Amazon cards which I will likely use to get Krennic's shuttle and the new AT-ST. 

For Christmas I got: 75158, 75156, 75154, 75119, 75120, 75121, 75175, 75168, the U-wing and the newest Y-wing. Quite happy with them :)
