JPN366 Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Finally bit the bullet and got 75199 General Grievous Combat Speeder at Walmart for $24. Have been waiting a year for it to drop in price, but I didn't want to miss out on getting Mace Windu. But, I did get 75217 Imperial Conveyex Transport for $35 and 75219 Imperial AT-Hauler for $49 ar Walmart as well. Quote

It's pretty much perfect. But not as perfect as proper leg and hip printing would be.... Wait, there’s a new stormtrooper helmet mold?! Gahhhh... I am tired of this. :/ Oh, well. That said, today I picked up 75205 Mos Eisley Cantina and a second copy of 75198 Tatooine Battle Pack. Quote
JPN366 Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Got 75205 Mos Eisley Cantina for $17 at Walmart. The box had what looked like black paint spilled on it, but it was the last one they had. Quote
dvogon Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Got the First Order Star Destroyer (75190) for 70€ on clearance. Couldn't resist again . The set/minifigs/pieces are great and very useful for MOCs as well. Quote
halomaster96 Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Just bought the Inferno Squad BP as I love the characters in the novel and the game’s story mode. I knew beforehand the heads weren’t accurate, but I’m wondering does anyone know some good options for their heads and hair (including Seyn)? Also a good design for the ID10 droid (although I might just mod the one from the Praetorian guard pack)? Quote
Praetorian_Guard Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 I finally got the Praetorian Guard battle pack. Great minifigures! Quote

JPN366 Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Picked up 75046 Coruscant Police Gunship at Brickfair. I probably paid too much, but it is retired and was sealed and the box looked nearly new. Quote
azzer86 Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) Got a second dewback and sandtrooper from 75052 last week for £16 + p&p on eBay. Not original minifig head but that's covered anyway :) Love this big fig and it will look good in my planned tatooine moc display piece. Edited January 20, 2019 by azzer86 Set number added Quote

I swapped the upper cannons with the ones of the battle packs. It's better for my children to play, specially with X-Wing micro fighters. Quote
manglegrat Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Kessel Run falcon (all figs), Solo's Landspeeder (all figs) and Luke's Landspeeder (missing Luke, except for his hair), for $80cad as a 2nd hand lot, together with the Ferrari Garage Speed Champions set... Was super-dirty but cleaned up nicely! Quote
m4st3rt3ch Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 75237 TIE Fighter Attack at local dealer. 75192 UCS Millennium Falcon as a present. And oh boy, that leaves me in a fubar-situation. This morning, just before he went to visit a customer, my boss calls me to his car, opens the boot and there it is. His 2nd MF he originally bought as investment, tells me he appreciates my work and wants me to have it. I didn't know what to say, this was overwhelming, how could i resist? Now the fubar-part. I'm planning to leave the company, actually i had a job interview this afternoon. Absolute dream, IT-support for my own employer only, no outside customers, 5 minutes with public transport opposed to 30 minutes on the autobahn right now, beautiful location above the river on the edge of a historical town centre and unexpectedly so well paid, i could easily afford the MF myself in a couple months. Emotional roller coaster. I know this i nagging on a high level, but FML. Quote

I that were my case, I would say that work issues should be sorted out first, having (if that were the case) a nice good bye if I would opt for a change of position. Bricks are paid by work after all. Quote
MysticModulus Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Got the 75212 Kessel Run Millenium Falcon with a 40 % discount, paid around 110 euro. Quote
Legliss Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Just grabbed the AT Hauler from a local seller for $50 Quote

I intend on getting duplicates of these, but I started with 1 each. Quote
Gremer2 Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 I bought 75188 last week and I was really hoping to get Finch Dallow. It did not include it, but after talking to CS they will send me the head. The helmet is out of stock. Quote

They must be getting a lot of requests for him. Quote

arc Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 I've been on a bit of a binge over the past few months after taking a break from star wars sets, here's what I picked up: 7675 AT-TE: Picked this up to go with my gunship I've had for a while, I quite like it. 7662 MTT: Been after this one ever since it came out, and finally got it after finding a good deal on a mostly complete one on eBay. After a small bricklink order, I've got it at last. 7654 Droid battle pack: Got 2 of these for pretty cheap to flank my MTT, they look great together. We're long overdue for a new droid battle pack, but I digress. 75015 Corporate Alliance tank droid: Even though the minifigs are episode II themed, it goes great with another set I picked up recently: 75234 AT-AP: Big Improvement over the 2008 model, which is the only one I had. Love the new camo droids. 75211 Tie fighter: Again, a colossal improvement over the last one I had, which was the 2005 model. Also bricklinked some parts to make a red episode III Obi-Wan's jedi starfighter based on the one in 7283 ultimate space battle. I ended up with two 7256 jedi starfighter and vulture droid sets back in the day, so I color swapped one. They look great together. Quote

stevej Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) 10212 UCS Imperial Shuttle. Not brand new but close - the box had been opened but the bags were all sealed. Managed to get it off eBay for £360 which is about a hundred pound cheaper than I've seen fully opened and used sets go for. Looking forward to building it so the Falcon and Slave 1 have company. :-) Edited February 1, 2019 by stevej Quote
