February 14, 20178 yr I just picked up a lot of 78 Star Wars sets. Many of them are still in the sealed baggies, never built! I listed many of them on bricklink as I either already have the set or I am using the $$ to offset the cost of this find. It was like Christmas the day I picked this lot up!

February 15, 20178 yr I've been spending all my food money on sets while at uni. Picked up 7662 MTT, 75137 carbon chamber, 7661 Booster ring and 75132 First order battlepack. Picked all these up for a total cost of £130 / $160 / 150 euros. Worth starving for I reckon.

I don't know whether to laugh or be sad but "worth starving for I reckon" should be used by TLG for promotional purposes!Â

I've been picking up some older sets as well. I plan on getting the 7662 MTT at some point.Â

February 16, 20178 yr Imperial Star Destroyer 75055 Bought it from a seller in Canada, so I'm hoping it arrives soon! :)
February 17, 20178 yr Today was the winter wave release in the US so I picked up the new Y-Wing and A-Wing.  I would have gotten the Desert Skiff and possibly the Landspeeder (mostly for another Tusken Raider) but they were nowhere to be found.  Toys R Us has most everything else - Microfighters, Yoda's Starfighter, Duel on Naboo, Phantom II, Battle on Scariff.  I don't remember reading that those two sets were exclusives, but neither are listed on TRUs website, and nothing is up on Target yet.

YES, finally the North American release date!  Although apparently both my local Toys R Us and Target had the sets out for a few days and I didn't realize it.  Anyway, I bought the much-anticipated Y-Wing, and I can't wait to build it this weekend.

That is a steal.  I personally dislike all of the buildable figures, but I would be tempted by that price.  K2SO is probably the best of the bunch, because he's supposed to look mechanical. Â

The only other Star Wars figure I own is General Grievous who as a mechanical character also looks great in the medium. From what I have seen the troopers and masked figures don't look half bad either. In particular the Speeder Bike set coming out later this year looks to be the highlight of the Star Wars Buildable Figure line.
February 18, 20178 yr Picked up a used SSD 10221 today... little dusty, without box/instructions, but with all the figures and at the original price of 400€... very happy, and right in the middle of dismanteling it right now for cleaning and storing. Edited February 19, 20178 yr by H_Solo spelling

The skiff and landspeeder are retail exclusives, so that's why you couldn't find them. Landspeeder is Walmart exclusive and not sure about skiff.Â

Â
February 19, 20178 yr The 17th was a big day in the US! I picked up the following: -All 4 of the new microfighters -4x Imperial battle packs -Rebel battle pack -Phantom -A-Wing -Desert Skiff -Luke's Landspeeder -Clone Turbo tank -Scarif Bunker Set -Y-Wing Â

February 20, 20178 yr I still marvel at some of the hauls you guys just casually seem to pick up Anywho, as I was feeling particularly down in the last few weeks, I couldn't resist (hah) picking up a Resistance X-wing. I am a hypocrite, since I lashed out multiple times over the inaccuracy of this set, but I just had to feed the addiction, and it will definitely be modified in the future. Â
February 20, 20178 yr TRU is already having 20% off sales including new sets withough higher MSRP. tempting to get Y-wing...but might wait for a while. Somewhat reason, Target priced new 75165 battle pack for $9.99 so I might get one today ^_^ Â

Your best bet is amazon for discounts.

Yes, usually TRU prices are inflated, but when sets come out, they are sometimes MSRP for a little bit. Â For example, I just bought the Y-Wing on Thursday for 60 USD, so if it's already 20% off, I'm a bit disappointed. Â But more power to anyone else who gets them while they're on sale! Â But you're right that Amazon discounts down the road will probably be better. Edited February 20, 20178 yr by RogueTwo
