What's your recent LEGO Star Wars Purchase?

[rollermonkey]

Are you kidding me? After 15% discount you still have much better price in the US.

No, I'm not kidding. We got 10% on watches, key chains and some older PT sets, nearly all of which was out of stock before Saturday was over.

[Pablo94]

For example retail price for battlepack in the US is 13 dollars and it equals to 40zl (Polish money). In Poland retail price for battlepack is 60zl (20 dollars) after the discount 50zl.

I ordered Republic Gunship from S@H this weekend. Could've gotten it cheaper elsewhere, but I wanted to participate in May the Fourth for Dark Revan fig and poster. Used some VIP rewards to soften the blow and it's backordered so I have some time to save up. Wish I could've gotten Malevolence and Mando ship for half off, but I was a little too late on those.

I bought enough just to get Darth Raven from Lego store:

75024 (10% off) -HH 87 Star Hopper for the rare Han Solo on Bounty Hunter

75045 - AV 7 Anti Vehicle. - just for the clones

75001 - Old republic

and a MF microfigure

From CL: I had 5 sets all for $90 bucks!

75000 - Clone vs.

75003 - A wing

9492 - TIE fighter

7961 - DM Sith Infiltrator

75005 - Rancor

And from Toy R Us

75025 Defender class 30% off!

So I kinda splurge a bit.

Picked up the Sandcrawler for May the 4th. Can't wait to build this thing!

Let us know how much time collectively you build it please

I'm mad about the Malevolence... When the sale prices went live at midnight, it was 10% off. When I woke up in the morning, it was sold out, with the 50% sale price just taunting me.

[The Kid]

Finally picked up the Death Star this weekend as an early birthday present from my other half. 15% off was too much to pass up at this (presumably) late stage in its life cycle. Not quite finished building it yet but I'm still amazed by its size and detail, more so than I ever thought I would be. Perhaps my only niggle is the Emperor's black hands... why not grey?!

Still wondering whether to keep Raven or trade/sell him as I had no foreknowledge of the character before LEGO produced a minifigure version, so I'm not too fussed about having him in my collection... but I'm starting to get hooked on the exclusive SW minifigs, with both TC-14 and TC-4 currently wandering aimlessly around the Death Star's corridors. Hmm.

I bought the Sandcrawler, poster and Revan yesterday.

[intimmydation]

Sandcrawler during the May the 4th promotion, and used $210 of VIP points so cost me less than $100 out of pocket :)

Unfortunately won't get to build it for a while since it's shipped to my parents house back in the US.

Wow, that's quite a haul. Great price on the Defender

It'll probably be about a month before I'm able to start building this set. I'm currently working on finishing my basement, which will include a room dedicated to LEGO. I think the folks in this forum will dig it.

But I'll definitely post my thoughts on the SC when I'm finished.

May the 4th purchases: 75040 Grievous' Bike, 75016 Spider Droid, 75015 Tank Droid, plus Darth Revan + poster. I should have gotten the mandalorian fighter, after a couple of hours, sold out.

[TWP]

For star wars day, I've bought the Coruscant Police Gunship. With 15% off €55,23, just enough to get the poster and revan! Not sure what to do with him though, as I don't collect TOR stuff.

[gunm]

I'm not really hung up on "accuracy" or continuity, so I figure I can just use Revan for whatever. A minifig is a minifig! ^_^

Also, my X-Wing arrived from Amazon, yay!

Edited May 6, 2014 by gunm

[McDuder]

Picked up Gold Leader's Y Wing. Already got an X Wing, and A Wing. Excited for B Wing.

[Blondie-Wan]

Aaaannnnd...

Just ordered 75020 Jabba's Sail Barge, with which I'll receive 5002123 Darth Revan and the 2014 May the Fourth poster. Yay!

... I just received these today. Woohoo! Initial thoughts: wow, the poster is larger than I'd expected. It looks great! Even the new Luke face somehow looks better in the rendering on the poster than it does in the official set photos of the new Sandcrawler. It's just too bad the poster comes only folded, not rolled, although with the intentional "age" and "wear" markings the folds work, I think. It's going to look great on the wall.

Regarding Darth Revan:

I'm not really hung up on "accuracy" or continuity, so I figure I can just use Revan for whatever. A minifig is a minifig! ^_^

What gunm said. Oh, I'd certainly be more thrilled with a character from the OT, but I'm not one to complain about any free LEGO Star Wars item. I'll find some use for it.

As for the Sail Barge, now that I finally have all four of the recent sets depicting the Tatooine material from Star Wars - Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, I'm going to try to find a chunk of time when I can build all four at once, back-to-back, possibly with other Tatooine sets. I'm looking forward to it!

For star wars day, I've bought the Coruscant Police Gunship. With 15% off €55,23, just enough to get the poster and revan! Not sure what to do with him though, as I don't collect TOR stuff.

I was watching the Clone wars Season 5 on the latter episode when Anakin was chasing Ashoka and the Police Gunship (75046) was there, unless this is not the item you bough. I am sure this is the ship they are into , otherwise the minifgures should not be there if its TOR.

But I'll definitely post my thoughts on the SC when I'm finished.

Thanks, will check back to see your opiniong, it was too expensive for me for just a single purchase :) I was debating about Ewok Village and Sand crawler

[intimmydation]

My May the 4th order from S@H is still "In Process".....they better still include the Revan figure when it finally ships...

Haha, you interpreted my post wrong, I meant to say Revan is TOR. I wrote it quite of vague, so it's understandable . I know the gunship is from CW, but thanks anyways!

[TheBrickDaddy]

Got one of the last Darth Revan figs at my local Lego store- they were going fast! To get it, I bought the Police Gunship and the new Droid Tri-Fighter. The Police Gunship is nice, although it's a bit befuddling that they didn't include any 'bad guys' to fight. Fun build though. The Droid Tri-Fighter is one of the biggest disappointments I've met in a while. Sure, the Palpatine minifig is fantastic, but he's the only true minifig included, and the $30 pricetag is just too much for the finished product. Aside from tacking on a new spring-loaded missile on the bottom, there's absolutely no significant improvements over the older model and nothing to make me recommend this set to anyone.

[gunm]

S@H "stealth" sent me my Republic Gunship order from May the 4th sale, even after sending me an email saying it would take more time. I rec'd Darth Revan and poster too.

Started building it last night, got about halfway done...looks like it will be fun to mess around with after I'm done.

[Only Sinner]

May the fourth, I went to the LEGO store and brought home the 75021 Republic Gunship.

Not being satisfied with just one promo Revan minifig, I went and ordered the 75016 Homing Spider Droid and the 75046

Coruscant Police Gunship - which is on backorder.

[calculon]

Picked up the new cantina here @the Lego Store in Oberhausen, Germany. 79 €.... 10 Bucks too much imho... But Mr. Creditcard said: "Shut the fxxk up and take my money!". And so we did... :(

[TheLegoDr]

The Kid - I was expecting they didn't use light bley hands because they didn't exist in that color. A quick check to bricklink shows they did have light bley hands in like 3 or 4 sets in 2004/2005 (one actually including the Emperor), but then they didn't surface again until 2013/2014, meaning they weren't in production in that color during the production run of the Death Star. That would explain that. Probably couldn't justify bringing out that mold in that color for one set.

But with that said, they are plentiful now, so you could always switch it out on your own.

I unfortunately passed on May the 4th due to not having enough sets I am interested in. I definitely still want a Revan, but I'll end up picking him up later for an absurd amount of money on his own. If the summer sets would have been available, I would have made a purchase right away.

[Jim]

UCS Super Star Destroyer

UCS X-Wing

Finally got both of them. And I still need to finish my bricklinked Millennium Falcon.

The Force is strong in 2014!

[rollermonkey]

Debated springing for the Sandcrawler today, but decided to wait, and instead bought the Haunted House which is rumored to be retiring soon and General Grievious's Wheelbike.

[ShadowWolfHount]

Well I have gotten some Star Wars sets to get the may the 4th Darth Revan.

So the sets I have gotten are Jek-14’s Stealth Starfighter, Millennium Falcon and Utapau Troopers.
