Follows Closely Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 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!

jamiejme Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 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. Quote

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

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

Hell_Hawk_33 Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Imperial Star Destroyer 75055 Bought it from a seller in Canada, so I'm hoping it arrives soon! :) Quote
Bley Harvest Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 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. Quote

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. Quote

xboxtravis7992 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 K2SO build-able figure for only $8 USD! Great bargain! Quote

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. Quote
Juke Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Finally got 75155 U-wing, completing that wave Quote

K2SO is probably the best of the bunch, because he's supposed to look mechanical. I haven't been collecting to many of the Star Wars buildable figures (I was into Bionicle during both of its production runs, but those sets were a lot cheaper than the Star Wars ones are); but when I see a good deal I pick up the Star Wars ones. $8 Was an absolute steal! 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. Quote
H_Solo Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) 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.

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. 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. Quote

Landspeeder is Walmart exclusive and not sure about skiff. Is the A-Wing a TRU exclusive? On LEGO Shop.com, it's back-ordered until March 28! I mean, I saw the set at Toys R Us when I was there two days ago, but I haven't seen it anywhere else. Quote
Kelso Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 I got myself the new AT-ST for 43,99. It looks awesome. Quote
jhaelego Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 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 Quote

I'm definitely jealous, but I wish you happy building! I think I'll buy the Battle on Scarif next, probably this coming Friday or Saturday. Quote
brobert Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 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. Quote
Kimguroo Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 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 ^_^ Quote

Yes, usually TRU prices are inflated, but when sets come out, they are sometimes MSRP for a little bit. 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. But more power to anyone else who gets them while they're on sale! But you're right that Amazon discounts down the road will probably be better. Edited February 20, 2017 by RogueTwo Quote
