Which set should I buy?

[Lord Embo]

I have another dilemma; should I(next year, of course) buy Diagon Alley, buy some of the PotC sets or buy some of the Star Wars Summer sets? This is a very difficult dilemma as I won't have as much money in the Summer of next year than in January because of the sets coming out around that time of year.

So what do you think I should do?

Lord Embo

Can someone reply to this? This is a dilemma I want to get around quickly so as to be able to plan my spendings for 2011.

I would wait till we get pics for the PotC sets and the summer sets first

Here's my dilemma:

Imperial Flagship or the At-At ?

Two completely different sets, still, 2 amazing sets in my opinion.

It's gonna be a sort of present, and the receiver is torned too between the 2 choices. He didn't like the not-motorized At-At, but as def pointed it out to me there are a lot of minifig on that set!

Keep in mind that, since PotC is out next year, Pirates are coming back in vogue

[vexorian]

I'd go for the AT&T simply because it is more iconic. That increases its appeal to me at least, and I think that also makes it more likely to become harder to find later.

Good point. That may make deciding on what I'm going to get a lot easier. Thanks for the tip.

... All in double.

I'd go with the AT-AT. Mind you, in any case I would go with Star Wars. Also, I'm not really a fan of Pirates(save PotC) but it is all down to which theme the reciever likes most; that should be a pretty good way to make the final decision.

Usually I'd always got for City as it's my favourite theme but as for the 2010' calenders I recommand to buy the Kingdoms calenders simply for it's mini figueres and some really nice extra pieces that are quite unusual

I'd go with the Flag Ship. IMO, it's a more complete set, and it is way cooler. It all depends on the receiver's interests though.

[WhiteFang]

I'm completely torn between between the two Lego advent calendars on offer. Normally I would go with City as my preferred theme, but the Castle/Kingdoms one has a few good and uncommon parts in it.

Which would you recommend?

I had merged your topic into this discussion since the agenda is pretty similar.

[vexorian]

I just noticed Imperial flag ship and not Imperial shuttle.

It is the Imperial Flag ship 100%. If you like LEGO boats (And I bet you do else you wouldn't be giving it) then the Imperial Flag ship is a unique chance. The AT&T on the other hand, will most likely appear in shelves again in a couple of years and possibly in a better version...

It is inevitable that another AT-AT will appear in the near future, but that's for another topic.

I got the Imperial Flagship, which I don't regret per se.

What I regret it's not buying the green grocer in time before it went sold out everywhere. I stupidly thought "let's buy it after Xmas Lego expenses since the grocer it's just a guilty pleasure of mine", without remembering the topic "Green Grocer will stop production on December the 31"

Anyway, the Flagship has already been shipped and it should arrive next week.

Can't wait to start building it!!! :D

Ps. it's a present, but I'll help :P

GG is still reasonable on bricklink. It will be in the $300s soon.

Unlucky. Search around on the Internet ASAP; prices will probably skyrocket very soon.

Not to be one to use this topic I am stuck as too what to buy. I have an extra £40 pounds and I want to buy a set.

I was looking at something Star Wars or anything which is a good deal. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? It would be really helpful in helping me make my decision.

Hm...

You could buy the Hoth Wampa Cave; that's only £30-£35(yes, it varies among places) which will leave you with an extra £5 to save up for 2011 sets.

I you want to play, Home One. If you want to display AT-AT. For parts, I would go with AT-AT.

I am an adult collector so these would be for playing with!! It seems the mini figures with home one are unique to the set, whereas the at at has lots of recycled figures. The at at looks a great build though. Maybe an impulse purchase is the answer- decide in the shop.

Thanks, Ed

If unsure, I always go with the one that is closest to it's end of life. In this case, that would be Home One.

I have a chance to pick up 2 UCS AT-ST for 160€ (about 210 US$ a guess?), the sets are new, but the boxes are in bad condition. Do you guys think I should pick them up, or just one?

That sounds expensive. They sell on eBay for £40-50 opened with box... Which is what yours will be ten mins after you get it!!

It's a good build though.

[freeedrik]

A whole box of CM3 or all the unique CM3s figs + the new police hellicopter?
