Blondie-Wan Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 I just bought the 75003 A-Wing Starfighter and 75020 Jabba's Sail Barge. The A-Wing is swooshable, accurate, and sturdy. Other than the extreme amount of stickers (I irritatingly didn't line up the front two stickers well), it's a solid set. Jabba's Sail Barge is a lot better than expected. Having collected the other 3 sets in the unofficial "Jabba" line of sets, this was a must buy, though upon initial pictures, I was disappointed to say the least. But having built it for myself, I can say that like the Back to the Future set, the angle portrayed on the box art is awful. The actual set is amazing: the front looks perfect, the sails are nice, everything just looks great. My only reservation is the deck, which can get cramped at times. I would say check this set out, but be forewarned that it will not look complete without the 9496 Desert Skiff. I'm looking forward to it. I do think it's neat that there are four different sets covering the various Tatooine scenes centered around Jabba the Hutt that are all out at about the same time; it presents a rare opportunity for someone just now jumping into LEGO Star Wars to get a really good representation of a portion of one of the movies all at once. I do wish there were more minifigures included of Jabba's various underlings and hangers-on, of course, but I do also plan to fill out these sets with figures from my other sets, whenever appropriate. So far of the four I have only 9496 Desert Skiff, but I plan to get them all and build them all at the same time. Quote
Rebel Scum Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 Picked up two A-wings for $5 each without minifigures. It would've been nice to get the pilot but for the price I can't complain. Quote
Fives Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 Went to the LEGO Store today and picked up the Homing Spider Droid, Bespin/Cloud Car Planet set, and got the free Clone Lieutenant. Plus I have an interview on tuesday for a job at that store! Quote
mjs5610 Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 Picked up the Gungan Sub for $40.00 at Walmart. Wish i would of picked up Jabba's Palace that was $50.00 the other week :( Quote
FuzzyBallz Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Man, I couldn't resist getting the 501st Pilot and 2 more 501st Troopers, so I got - 75002 AT-RT (my 2nd set!) - 75004 Z-95 Headhunter I don't like how I have 2 clone wars Yoda though. Ugh. But more 501st Troopers and another AT-RT! @#$% Yeah! Quote

Bobskink Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Not a purchase, but my friends gave me the latest Millenium Falcon as a wedding gift :) Quote
Scorpiox Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Not a purchase, but my friends gave me the latest Millenium Falcon as a wedding gift :) That's really awesome. It's great to have friends who are as accepting as yours seem to be. In other news: my Jedi Starfighter has arrived, and I must say that I am most impressed with it. The ship itself is much larger and more elegant than I had been anticipating. Quote

Blondie-Wan Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 I just found a few more clearanced copies of 9489 Endor Rebel Trooper and Imperial Trooper Battle Pack, and picked up four of them. Quote
caramelcata Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 I recently bought the 75021 Gunship. The entire set is glorious but the one thing I would want to change is the length of the doors. I would've prefered it if the doors could cover all the way instead of just half. I also added two white beams on the handle because it was a bit too thin. Nonetheless great set, and EB helped me decide between this and the Defender. Quote
JVM Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Waiting on the new Millennium Falcon and an Obi-Wan Kenobi minifig in the mail... last of my birthday and graduation money gone, but really looking forward to finally having the most iconic ship in the Saga :) Quote
narbilu Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) Happy birthday to me 75009 Snowspeeder & Hoth 9495 Gold Leader's Y-wing Starfighter Edited September 23, 2013 by narbilu Quote
Something_Awesome Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Just got two Battle of Hoth sets from Toys R Us for $75.00 US (before tax). And if you factor in the 10% promo they have going on right now for rewards members, that brings the before tax total to just under $68.00. I am super happy with this deal. I went into Toys R Us to take advantage of their buy one get one 50% off deal and to see if they would price match shop.lego.com in the process. Well, this isn't something they normally do (stack matches and discount offers), but the manager did it. It was 3 minutes before close and the manager just seemed happy that the day was over so he applied the discounts! Quote
rollermonkey Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Picked up the recently discontinued B-Wing from Wal-Mart online for $153 plus shipping. Quote
Lobot Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 I've just ordered Jabba's Sailbarge (75023) from Amazon (UK) for £66.66, it was too good to miss at that price! (link) There's lots of other SW sets on sale..... Quote
Daenerys Targaryen Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Was at one of the local Walmarts today and they seemed to have found a relic in the back... got another Snowtroopers Battlepack! I did a little happy dance and skweed like a Skaven in celebration! Quote
CF Mitch Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Today I bought the Super Star Destroyer, the 2013 Advent Calender and the AT-TE (which I is on back order). Couldn't be happier with the SSD. I'll start building tomorrow Regards, Mitch Quote
North Lego Star Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 A week or so ago, I finally picked up the Z-95 Headhunter. I wasn't expecting much, but it's great. Good Minifigs, Accurate Porportion, Good play features, this set has the whole deal! Quote
