BrickSev Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 That's rather strange since it was released during the summer. It's not that uncommon Amazon (at least in Europe) had it discounted of about 30%, If I recall correctly, until the start of Christmas holidays. Quote
BrickSev Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Today I was at supermarket and I saw they had one last 75028 on the shelves. I'm not a huge fan of Microfighters but I have been always curious about the "micro Clone Turbo Tank" and so I bought it Quote
Schneeds Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Just picked up the UCS Slave 1 at the local Lego store. Went on sale a couple days early! Quote
Mazin Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 I didn't buy any sets. Only some lego star wars movies. Does it count? Quote
LEGOBREN Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Cloud City Lando just arrived (via Bricklink). Sadly no cape, but I've ordered a yellow custom job from eBay and figure this will suffice as I can only see the front when it's in the display case anyway. Bit jealous about the US early releases too. I've been into a Lego store, a Walmart and a TRU in the UK and the closest I got was a preview of the UCS slave 1 Quote

I don't even have the chance to "pre release" "previews" I wish I had I mean to see the set in person before it is released Quote

BrickSev Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 I feel your pain, but if it helps, the new Slave 1 looks awesome in the flesh :) That's nice to know I'm thinking about getting it but I have a couple of ongoing projects and perhaps I should take the sets I need before they are sold out while the Slave I should be still around in the next couple of months Anyway I'm glad to know it looks awesome in the flesh or, we could say, "in the plastic" or "in the bricks" Quote
Walter Kovacs Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 I picked up 75084 - Wookie Gunship at a local Target over the weekend. It's an OK model, the shape looks very clean and smooth. The wookie minifigs look much better in person than they did in the photos. I didn't like them when the photos first appeared, but the printing really blends in well. My only complaint is that it just feels...small. It might be that I assembled it shortly after finishing the 10188 I got for Christmas. Quote
rollermonkey Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Stopped by the LEGO store, and as it's two days before payday, I didn't have a lot of money... Imperial Troop Transport / Stormtrooper BP Ezra's Speeder Bike Quote
Blondie-Wan Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 I haven't been able to buy much LEGO lately, but the other day I finally picked up a copy of 75031, the TIE Interceptor Microfighter. Quote

Imperial Troop Transport / Stormtrooper BP Ezra's Speeder Bike How is the Stormtroopers BP? It seems 2015 will see several battle packs and that's a very good thing. I hope I'll be able to bring my Clone Army to 300 units (well I have to double their current number) Quote
rollermonkey Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Since I'm not bothered at all by the Rebels 'Troopers, I like it. The ITT is a little on the dinky side, but it's a battle pack, not a vehicle set, so that's fine. Quote
Darth Caedus Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 I'm systemically purchasing almost all of the jan 2015 wave (a big resurgence after several years of minimal Lego Star Wars consumption, all income was directed towards hordes of Middle-earth figures). Got the Ghost and the Phantom for myself for Christmas so I'll be picking up all the new Rebels junk to complement it, but for now, just grabbed a Shadow Troopers, a Senate Commandos, and the set I wanted the most, the Azure Angel. Shadow Troopers and Senate Commandos are both stellar battlepacks - those Shadow Stormies are easily the most detailed Lego has ever made, the Shadow Guards are aesthetically killer, and the Commandos are perfect armybuilders: distinct and cool en masse. The new dot-fire minigun thing is freakin' sweet too, and hilarious when you adapt it to be held by a minifigure (Chima Ice armor did the trick). Quote
Alpinemaps Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Just bought 75050 B-Wing for myself. The B-Wing is my favorite ship from the OT. Waiting patiently for Shop @ Home to come online with the 2015 sets. I need Ezra's Speeder Bike. Quote
Pulp Detective Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 I was lucky to find some 2015 sets when I went on a trip to Bulgaria.Without a second thought I grabbed the TIE Prototype set and I have no regrets about that decision.Next I got the Ezra speeder set since I couldn't find the Stormie battle pack or the shadow troopers.Pretty average set but it's worth for the minifigs.

TheBrickHitHouse Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Everything! Lego shop in Milton Keynes (uk) had scores and scores queuing - sets were totally sold out, replaced and then sold out again! Saw this happen about 3 times in an hour! Lego has gone stratospheric this year, never seen such demand! Lots of decent sale items - all gone now though, but they were there for early birds Quote
BrickSev Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Slave One. Is there a reason the Slave One can't be ordered yet from Lego Shop? At least on my country. I go to the homepage, I see the banner, I click on it but it still listed "coming soon" but today is already 1st January. Anyway, let's see if on 5th (when the VIP promotion takes place) it can be ordered Quote

I didn't intend to get it until 5th but very few left in shop already so didn't want to risk it! Quote
Azrielsc Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Pulled the trigger and bought a used Vader Tie Advance (10175) & a MISB Imperial Shuttle (10212). Ain't looking forward to my 1st credit card bill of 2015!! :( Quote
BrickSev Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 That was the thing for me... I didn't intend to get it until 5th but very few left in shop already so didn't want to risk it! Understood but it should have been available on 1st January alongside with the Detective office. There are also links to Minifigures Series 13 and Ultra Agents sets (for example) but they lead to "product not available" page. They are available on US store though. Anyway, I guess all will become available soon, Slave I and other SW sets as well Quote
H_Solo Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 - Slave 1 - Four of the new Microfighters (Snowspeeder, AT-AT, Rep. Gunship, ARC-170) - new Stormtrooper Battle Pack Quote
TK924 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Got the 75078 imperial troop transport (with free at-dp poly bag) for me and 41061 Jasmine's exotic palace for my daughter. Good day. :=) Quote
Roders Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Finally got a Slave 1 ordered online after waiting all day like everyone else Quote
