samurai-turtle Posted August 3, 2014 Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) What's S@H? Shop at Home or LEGO's web site."Knighthood" Edited August 3, 2014 by samuraiturtle Quote
ISDAvenger Posted August 3, 2014 Posted August 3, 2014 Pulled the trigger and ordered the Cantia from S@H. Added in a Death Star Trooper pack to get the free shipping. I already have one of those, but more gunners and guards will look great in the Death Star set. It's a great set and I'm sure you will enjoy building it. Quote
Tronedor Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Shop at Home or LEGO's web site. "Knighthood" Ah thanks! :) I have a LEGO store about 45-50 minutes away from me so I usually make the trip down as it's nice to look around and I'm picky when it comes to boxes :P Quote
CrazyDalton777 Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 My latest purchase from the Star Wars line was the V-Wing Starfighter and a attle pack with Clones that were in green camouflage (I forgot their name) Quote
Captain Settle Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 My latest purchase from the Star Wars line was the V-Wing Starfighter and a attle pack with Clones that were in green camouflage (I forgot their name) I think the battle pack you're talking about is Kashyyyk troopers. Quote
Venkefedo Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 I picked up the Imperial Shuttle poly at Target the other day, glad to see an SW poly there besides leftover TIEs! Quote
DackJaniels Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 One of the older battle packs with the 4 clones and the two seater walker. Quote
Crazy Packers Fan Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 I bought Palpatine's Arrest from Toys 'R' Us last week. I'm pleasantly surprised with it. Quote
Chills Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 I picked up the Imperial Shuttle poly at Target the other day, glad to see an SW poly there besides leftover TIEs! I've been looking for that set for a few months now. I'll head over to Target to look again. Quote
Venkefedo Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 I didn't realize it wasn't a new set! The only polys I've seen at Targets since January have been the Chima Acro-Fighter, Batman Tumbler, Princess Rapunzel, and the City Copter, I think, aside from the old TIEs. And here I thought it was brand-new for the summer series! Quote
Crazy Packers Fan Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 I also picked up the recently retired Desert Skiff off eBay. In order to get it at pretty much retail value, I had to buy it in 2 purchases, and eschew the new Boba Fett minifigure. I'm okay with having the older Boba Fetts. I really just wanted the Sarlacc pit as well as Lando in his costume. Quote
Jdurg Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 While recovering from my recent medical procedure, I thought that assembling some LEGO sets would be a good way to gradually reintroduce activity into my shoulder. It worked well the first time, so why not this time? Anyway, I went on BrickLink and with a birthday coming up tomorrow I figured I could afford to spend some money on things I wanted. So I got the following: 7962 - Annakin and Sebulba's Podracers (Many of the Episode 1 sets were released early in the theme's lifecycle and weren't the greatest. This one, was released more recently and just looks like a really good set of a really key scene in TPM). 7658 - Y-Wing Starfighter (I've picked up basically every different form of ship in the series, aside from the Imperial Shuttle which I'm not too keen on paying the huge prices for and also figure that along with Slave I it will be re-released again soon, but I didn't have a Y-Wing so thought it would be a good idea to buy one). TC-14 Minifig (Have wanted this for a while, and finally found a reasonable price so I scooped it up). TC4 Minifig (Just saw this while browsing around and thought, why not? It wasn't too expensive, and it's a nicely detailed dark-red version of C-3PO). K-3PO Minifig (Have no desire to get the Hoth set this is exclusive to as I have the much better Hoth Base set with Bacta Tank Luke, but wanted it for my droid collection). Magnaguard Minifig (I always thought these were the coolest of the battle droids, but alas, I didn't have any sets with them in it. Although I believe they are from the Clone Wars line, the droids in that line don't bother me like the "regular" minifigs do, so I picked htis up). Senate Commando Minifig (As this is the precursor to the Royal Guards, I thought it would be nice to have). Super Battle Droid w/ Blaster Arm (Didn't have one of these in the sets I've purchased, and wanted one. It was more cost-efficient to just buy the whole minifig as opposed to just buying the blaster arm). Quote

Sorry that this is off-topic-I want to get both TC-4 and TC-14. Where did you get them? Quote
Jdurg Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 ^He said he bought them off BrickLink Yeah, I picked them up off of BrickLink but don't recall what shop they were, or if they had more than one for sale. Just spend some time looking around BrickLink and you'll find them. Today, however, I hit the JACKPOT! First off, the Podracers, TC-14, TC-4, and Y-Wing arrived a day early! I'm INCREDIBLY sore from the procedure yesterday and the PT that took place this morning, but I was so psyched to see the sets came in. Both of the TC's came in the polybags so I VERY carefully cut open the top so I could keep the bag in good condition but still see the figures. They are beautiful! Then, the biggest LEGO hit I ever got was found. Near the physical therapist, there was a toy and hobby shop that I used to visit when I was in my scale model car building phase, but recalled that they sold LEGO sets. I figured I needed some baseplates to put my sets onto and wandered into the store to see if they still sold them. Much to my great surprise, the baseplates were nowhere to be found but a whole bunch of old sets were available WELL below the MSRP for the sets. As a result, I was able to pick up the Gungan Sub, Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator, and Palpatine's Shuttle for a grand total of $115!!!!! All still brand new and sealed in the boxes with the original tape! I guess this store doesn't keep up with LEGO Star Wars, or jacks up the price for retired sets, as these sets have all been retired for quite some time. Taking a look on BrickLink, picking these up from there would have cost me quite a bit more. I can't recall which year had the golden C-3PO's potentially mixed in, but that would complete a pretty damned good birthday if one of these sets had that in there. Heh. Not keeping my hopes up, but if this comes to fruition I will definitely post about it here. Quote
donster14 Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) I just bought Venenator used but got for 120 all minifigs included Desert skiff for sealed 25 dollars Jabba palace sealed 125 dollars Rancor pit sealed 50 dollars 9 droids 6 super battle droids 40 dollars Mandalorian battle pack 12 dollars sealed 3 9 clones X wing sealed 50 dollars So think I did decent haha Edited August 6, 2014 by donster14 Quote
duboismerci Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 I was in vacation in the US and since the sets are 10-20% cheaper and the sale tax is 10% lower I had saved a bunch of money all year long. I am currently a student. I make my money by doing babysitting (basicly getting paid to play Lego and then I can buy more Lego with the money = win!!!) So i bought: 9526: Palpatine's Arrest 75015: Corporate Alliance Tank Droid 75016: Homing Spider Droid 75028: Clone Turbo Tank 75029: AAT 75030: Millennium Falcon 75031: TIE Interceptor 75032: X-Wing Fighter 75033: Star Destroyer 75035: Kashyyyk Troopers 75036: Utapau Troopers 75037: Battle on Saleucami (x5) 75038: Jedi Interceptor ( got it on sale for 20$) 75041: Vulture Droid ( got it on sale for 20$) 75043: AT-AP ( got it on sale for only 38$) 75044: Droid Tri-Fighter 75045: Republic AV-7 Anti-Vehicle Cannon 75050: B-Wing 75051: Jedi Scout Fighter ( I don't know what is that ship but it looks so cool + the Ithorian Jedi) 75058: MTT ( I modded the droid rack. Now it can fit 12 droids. Now it is a true multi troop transport I will make a post soon) Quote
samurai-turtle Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 I pulled the trigger on getting 75034 Death Star Troopers. (I was getting some other thing and I figured might as well.) Quote
Chills Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 I picked up the Imperial Shuttle poly at Target the other day, glad to see an SW poly there besides leftover TIEs! Wife went today and found it. The first Imperial Shuttle in my collection! Quote
Jdurg Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 Speaking of Imperial Shuttles, I was able to find Set 10212 on BrickLink for $350 from a seller located in my homestate. So I picked that up using the b-day money I got and will finally have an Imperial Shuttle in my collection. Can't wait for it to arrive! Quote
duboismerci Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Wow, how much did all that cost? Around 650$... I might have exaggerated a little Quote
