joeshmoe554 Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 After attempting to drive to my parent's house for christmas and turning around 2 hours into the trip due to a snow storm, I was passing through Walmart and decided Santa was going to get me something fun for Christmas. I picked up the Sith Interceptor, and had a wonderful time building it Christmas day. Quote
Duck Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Picked up Jabba's Palace for £59 at tesco. Personally I think that's about right price-wise anyway, but I'm just tight with my money! Quote
NagaSadow Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 I just bought the republic frigate for 850CNY online. It was the cheapest I could find, I'm not sure of the exchange rate at the moment.. I think 130-140 USD or something.. How much does it sell for in the US? anyway I haven't opened it yet-too busy. but later today I will :) Can't wait! Quote

It sold for $120 USD, and S@H lists it as retired now, so that sounds like a pretty good price. (based on what I know of LEGO pricing in Asia; I don't know what the usual increase or decrease in price is for you) Quote
Only Sinner Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 I went and bought two more 75001 BPs and am aiming to buy many more. I'm looking forward to having a little Republic army and stuffing my diplay shelves with Sith troopers. The Infiltrator and the Fury Interceptor are pretty big, though. I haven't even built the models yet, but I'm pretty sure I can fit them all on two shelves, I hope. Quote
thedrivingcat Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) Just picked up Hoth Base, 7879, from Toys R Us here in Canada for $59.97... which is 50% off Canadian MSRP. I haven't put it together yet and it was honestly a set I hadn't planned on getting but at half price it was too good to pass up! Edited January 19, 2013 by thedrivingcat Quote

The price is pretty much the only thing keeping me away from that set. I don't know how many times I picked it up and thought,"naah, too much". I will be getting the Hoth battle so maybe I'll get lucky too. Quote
brodey1 Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Got the Rancor Pit a few days ago, looks great with the palace. Quote
Paddyb98 Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 I picked up the Elite Clone Trooper pack, all of the figs are totally awesome. Quote
Bob De Quatre Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Didn't purchased it, but Jabba's palace is on sale at 99€ on this french website: http://www.laredoute.fr/vente-lego;-star-wars-jabba’s-palace.aspx?productid=324387179 Quote
Fives Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Picked up the new A-Wing, Z-95 and two of the AOTC battle packs. Very happy with all of them. The A-Wing, while similar to the Home One version, is very nice and slightly better. The Z-95 is bigger than I expected, and is a lot more swooshable than the ARC-170. Also, Krell is outstanding. The two Bps are nice, and I combined the two command centres to create a larger, more movie accurate command centre. The Droidekas are the best they've made them yet. I can't wait for the summer wave with all the new AOTC stuff! Quote
The_Chosen_1 Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) The two Bps are nice, and I combined the two command centres to create a larger, more movie accurate command centre. I'd be curious to see how you combined the command centers; I've been curious about doing that myself. Edited January 21, 2013 by The_Chosen_1 Quote
StandardSc2 Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I purchased 2 battle packs for 40% off at TRU they accidently misprinted the special pricetag. I also purchased the malevolence, 75000, 75002 and the geonosian cannon from brick link just waiting for it to ship Quote
Fenaughty Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) I think I went a bit nuts this year.. Since Xmas including gifts: Jabba's Palace, Death Star, Republic Striker, Fury Class Interceptor, Malevolence, Elite Clone Trooper & Imperial V-Wing Double ups due to miscommunication from the wife to my mum were Elite clone trooper pack (built), Twin pod cloud car & Bespin and Sith Nightspeeder (still have these two in boxes) None of the new sets have been released in Australia yet, but series 3 and 4 of the Galaxy and the Rancor Pit are currently sitting in the shopping cart on S@H Edited January 24, 2013 by Fenaughty Quote
NagaSadow Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 chinese new year is coming soon, which means three weeks off for me as a teacher. I ordered pre vizsla's ship along with the mandalorian BP, the tie defender, plo koon's starfight, th solar sailer and a clone BP. Should all be arriving any day now. Can't wait!! Quote
MandaloretheLesser Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) I finally bought 9492 TIE Fighter and i must say i am disappointed. The Minifigs are fine, shame the TIE pilot and Imperial Officer didn't get guns. R5-J2 is nice and goes a long nicely with the two other R5 units from the X-wing and Y-wing. The Death Star Trooper is also nice love the new helmet. The price i paid was $88 reduced from $99 from Myer (got the price down buy getting a price match with the price of Kmart's). I am not happy with paying that much i would happily pay at most $60 no way i would pay $99. The set is a was abit of a let down. The only play features are the new opening cockpit which is nicer than the old piece and the flickfire missiles, ok so it is a TIE fighter so it doesn't have anything really cool about it in the first place so i think TLG should of included some other stuff like a Stormtrooper and some piece of hanger equipment really anything would be fine and would improve the lack of play features, Then maybe i would be happier paying the $88. And compared to the new 9493 X-wing and 9495 Y-wing which are great sets it really doesn't compare to them. (All prices are Australian Dollars) Edited January 24, 2013 by MandaloretheLesser Quote
Cornwaille Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 I just picked up the most recent versions of Millenium Falcon and Slave 1. I know they are old models now, but I have only recently gotten into Lego Star Wars, and really wanted those older sets. I guess from this point on it will be about making custom models. Quote
Fenaughty Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Thanks to a browsing of the Aussie sales forum, I saw Big W reporting to have the 2013 sets finally. 75005 - Rancor Pit $88 (Aussie dollars) 75007 - Republic Assault Ship & Couscant $14.86 only one of series 3 they had 75000 - Clone Troopers & Droidekas - $18.72 Quote
baron Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Just picked up Umbaran MHC...a lot smaller than I thought it would be... Quote
The_Chosen_1 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 I came across the BARC w/ Sidecar at Walmart today and decided to pick it up. I just couldn't resist the awesome new Rex minifig! Quote
Studebricker Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Sith battle pack -- very cool figures and overall nice set Quote
