BrickSev Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 No intensions of "real" army building... I just like their camouflage armour very much! And as theres always some room for more troopers, I thought... Why not? Their camouflage armor is impressive. I really like it and, of course, there is always some room for more troopers Quote
droid747 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) I received my slave 1 on Friday from my online order and the other items I had bought at my local Lego store during double VIP points. The midi scale Star Destroyer I received from a third party sale recently. I am going to use all of my double VIP points on the upcoming UCS Tie Fighter that is coming out in May.

Azrielsc Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Picked up another 10212 Imperial shuttle for US$365 yesterday. Only issues are that the box and 1 small bag were opened. Can't wait to build this and not open my MISB 10212 instead. Stoked! :) Quote
Flieger Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Using the Lego Store Gift Card my friend gave me for birthday (that was really cute of her!), I got the TIE Advanced Prototype. Here in Germany this one is overpriced I feel (50 Euros), so I was glad about the gift card. The set itself is certainly nice, though. Excellent build, good minifigs. The TIE pilot's print could have been better, but that is the only complaint I have beside the price. (And I know some people complained about the red spring loaded shooters, because the TIE uses green laser bolts. Yes, it does, but it also has red emitters on the cannons. So when the shooters are loaded it looks accurate!). I'll put the AT-DP on my "to buy list" for sure. The Minifigures are indeed interesting and an additional walker would hurt, after all. True! I actually prefer walkers to spacecraft due to their often better display value. And you may think of the AT-DP as the brother of the AT-AP. One is tall and lanky, the other short and stubby; one is fast, the other powerful; one for defense, one for attack. They make a nice display together, even if they are from different eras.

ISDAvenger Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Imperial Inspection. The printed stormies are pretty unquie. Quote

I strongly agree on the walkers: they would be perfect to display together I live in Italy so I payed the same price for the Prototype Tie ( Lego sets cost more here in Europe than in USA ) It's a nice set but I too think it's overpriced. If we consider the price per piece it more overpriced than the Wookiee Gunship Quote
Chills Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Imperial Inspection. The printed stormies are pretty unquie. That's pricey. How much did you get it for, and from where? Quote
ISDAvenger Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 It was a used set with no box. Still need to wash the pieces before assembly. I got it for $127.50 shipped off of EBay. Not bad. Was one of the sets I got rid of and wanted it back. That's pricey. How much did you get it for, and from where? Quote
H_Solo Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) Got the latest AT-TE yesterday... Its out of production now, so i got it for 30% off... And finally the Red Five X-Wing and the Mos Eisley Cantina with 20%off at Toys'r us! Edited March 26, 2015 by H_Solo Quote

And finally the Red Five X-Wing and the Mos Eisley Cantina with 20%off at Toys'r us! How is the AT-TE? I have the first ever released AT-TE and since I saw a couple of them with a "not-so-huge" discount I was wondering if it would be a good purchase Quote
H_Solo Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Can't tell... Its still sitting in its box... I hope to build it sometime this weekend. Quote

ToaSalvus(lego) Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Accept it has a speeder with storage for it. :P Quote
BrickSev Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Go for it! the old one has no comparison to the newest. Thanks for the info Accept it has a speeder with storage for it. :P The speeder storage is a nice feature. It also has enough room for several Clone Troopers. I don't remember if the new one has the same transport capacity Quote
GuyDudeMan27 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 The speeder storage is a nice feature. It also has enough room for several Clone Troopers. I don't remember if the new one has the same transport capacity It can hold quite a few troops, especially if you take out the slidable flick missile rack. I personally love it as a set. Quote

Sadly I was away from the Lego hobby when it was released and when I came back I had so many sets to buy. I'll try to see if I can still get it with some discount, then Quote

I don't remember if the new one has the same transport capacity I know the clone wars one didn't. The bulk of the front was taken up by the spring loaded missiles. Quote
Cpt. Dan Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Finally got the AT-AT after months of debate. It's my first one so I'm looking forward to it. Quote
karmajay Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 I finally got the new ISD and the Red Five X wing tonight! Quote
Tjahzi Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Just bought the MTT for 79,99 euros at Toys'R'Us on the Dutch online store. Price was reduced with 10%, and on top of that: there's a discount of 20% on all their Lego sets till the 4th of April or something. Quote
Punisher16 Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Just buy the 10236 Ewok Village half price ( favor of a friend working in Lego Store ) and the 75054 AT-AT. Quote
Sir Gareth Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Just buy the 10236 Ewok Village half price ( favor of a friend working in Lego Store ) and the 75054 AT-AT. Employee discount? Quote
droid747 Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Well I now have obi wan's jedi star fighter ucs 10215 coming in the mail. That now is 3 ucs sets purchased in March (slave 1, red 5 x wing, and obi wan fighter). I will also be purchasing the new tie in May. Not a bad start for an ucs collection I just decided to start collecting. Quote
Revelation Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I bought the UCS Slave 1 and Red Five X-Wing during the double points. The Slave 1 was a must buy and here in Australia I was too impatient to wait for a retailer to pick it up in 6 months time, similarly with the Red Five X-Wing I plan on getting the upcoming UCS Tie Fighter and thought one couldn't go without the other. That means I'll have a reasonably discounted UCS Tie Fighter to purchase in May and in the mean time two incredible Star Wars sets to tide me over! Quote
