North Lego Star Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Nice! It looks really nice for building armies! 1 quick question too are these new helmets like TCW ones "clip-in stuff wise" (Like putting a visor on it) There pretty good army builders, if I get the new Republic Gunship in the summer I'm certainly picking at least one more up. The clone's helmets are the exact same model used for the CW Clone helmets just with different printing, so you can put the same stuff in the holes as you would a CW Clone helmet. Quote
The Kid Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Searched 4 different Tesco stores on Friday for a cheap Jabba's Palace, to no avail Consoled myself with Saesee Tiin's Jedi Starfighter at a third off. Haven't bothered with any of the other CW Starfighters but this may have just convinced me to seek out the rest TK Quote
TheBrickDaddy Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) 1 quick question too are these new helmets like TCW ones "clip-in stuff wise" (Like putting a visor on it) I have the set and I can confirm that, yes, the helmets are the TCW version with clip-ins, but with new printing. Hope this helps! EDIT: Beaten to it! Edited January 7, 2013 by TheBrickDaddy Quote
Lobot Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 I just ordered the Star Wars Character Encyclopedia from Amazon (UK), it's reduced to £6.75 which was too good to resist (link here). They've also got the Visual Dictionary on clearance at £3.99!! (link here); I think that's the most expensive book I've ever owned....it wasn't the initial cost, but what I've spent as a result of owning it Quote
gotoAndLego Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) I just finished putting together the UCS B-Wing I received for Christmas. It has really good parts usage, and I liked the technigue used for mirroring the main wing. I'm also please that the cockpit rotates itself without you needing to turn it. The relatively repetive build doesn't bother me because the end result looks so good; the same thing was true for the UCS imperial shuttle, which aside from the main body was a repetitive and relatively uninteresting build. I know it was a relatively small parts count for the price, but I'm very happy with the final result and it sits happily on the desk in my office. Edited January 9, 2013 by gotoAndLego Quote
naugem Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Got the T-6 Shuttle. It looks much better in person than in pics. Quote
Lobot Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 I splashed out the Rancor Pit (75005) from my local toystore today, I haven't opened it yet but if feels re-assuringly heavy! Quote
Zaterdag Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 I got Jabba's Palace for $100 (it's normally $150 up here ) and I really like it. Now I gotta get the Desert Skiff and Rancor Pit! Quote
Sirtank Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 I picked up the Naboo fighter from Target for $25, ordered the Umbaran MHC and Mandalorian fighter from legoshop, picked up 2 more 501st AT-RTs from Meijer and I got my first order from clonearmycustoms, helmets for Hardcase, Fives, Dogma, Colt, and Jesse.

RodimusMike Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 For me I just got the following sets #7961 Darth Maul Sith Infiltrator for $27.00, #7964 Republic Gunship for $49.00, and #7957 Sith Nightspeeder for $12.00,all at Walmart when they marked them down tuesday,pretty cool only paying half price for them.I think they were totally worth it.

You definitely got a great deal on all those sets. I really like the Republic Frigate (7964), the Wolfpack clones were a bonus for me because I was buying this set regardless.

Wolvarie Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Just finished the Rancor Pit and will build Jabba's Palace tomorrow...if it had only Max Rebo's band that would have been awesome. Will then be looking to mod it out and make the two levels a bit bigger. Quote
Hulk_Smash Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 I got the AT-RT and the OR battle pack, I love both of them and on my birthday I'm going to buy another AT-RT and 2 battle packs (maybe 3) :D Quote
Gubi0222 Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) On this Thursday arrived my packet with the Z-95 and the AT-RT , both set are amazing and I made a lot of picture Edited January 14, 2013 by Gubi0222 Quote
Only Sinner Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 I just got a new A-wing, A clones vs droideka BP, and two of the Old Republic BPs. I have to say the printing on all the new figs is A+ for all the sets. The A-wing has sixteen stickers, wich sucks, but it is my first one and I never had an Ackbar before. I have to say I am really pleased with all of these sets. I'm definatley going to buy several more BPs. Quote
North Lego Star Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) I just picked up the Republic BARC Speeder with Sidecar set. I love the BARC itself, but I'm looking foward to seeing the new Rex even more! I just finished building it and its a really nice set. The box is smaller than usual though and there are just some many stickers with this set! Edited January 12, 2013 by North Lego Star Quote
95MBP Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Just after Christmas I bought myself the newest X-Wing (9493) and yesterday I managed to find in my local Lego store, the Endor Rebel Trooper & Imperial Trooper Battle Pack (9489) just to add a little something to my collection Quote
r74 Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Searched 4 different Tesco stores on Friday for a cheap Jabba's Palace, to no avail Consoled myself with Saesee Tiin's Jedi Starfighter at a third off. Haven't bothered with any of the other CW Starfighters but this may have just convinced me to seek out the rest TK I picked up few more Jabba's Palaces yesterday, they still got shelf full at mine and thats been over 10 days since i got first one, which part country you from?

moop Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Okay. Now that I've combined the Rancor and Jabba's Palace. Damn if it isn't a beautiful site to behold. Much larger than I expected and infinitely displayable. Quote
hjmediastudios Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 I got 12 Old Republic battle packs and 12 clones vs. droidekas. They're awesome, but I think I may have cleaned out my local Targets and Walmarts for the remainder of the week. Quote
Kelso Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Just got my X-wing and build it. Looks bigger then i thought realy nice :). Quote
Fives Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Recently got the new Hoth and Rancor sets, along with the Umbarran canon and the AT-RT. The OT sets are great (haven't yet had the chance to build the Pit), and now I regret purchasing the CW sets. I would return them, but I already built them. I really like the figs, and thought the sets would be a nice addition to my collection. Now I have fully reassured myself that I should only buy OT and PT sets from now on. Quote
Final Exit Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 I was out passing the local TRU and picked up the A-Wing, its superb. Quote
