Lance Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 so, when will we expect the Summer 2013 Lego Star Wars sets at Toys R Us. I am expecting they will appear on store shelves in May/June 2013 for Toys R Us and July/ August 2013 for Target and Walmart. Should be next month here in France. That's what happened last year anyway... Quote

I am expecting they will appear on store shelves in May/June 2013 for Toys R Us and July/ August 2013 for Target and Walmart. I'd say about the same time for all of the above retailers; at most Toys'R'Us will get them a couple weeks ahead of the others. A month or two apart is a little long. Quote
Faefrost Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Last year they started to show in parts of Europe in may, and the US in early June. It looks like they are on a similar schedule this year. Quote

It looks like there are more of these than I thought. I'll definitely be getting that Han Solo magnet. I'm also chuckling a bit that that store is called "dickbrick".

Archer Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 When and where are the B-Wing, Snowspeeder, and Tantive IV Planets set supposed to show up? Quote

Balin Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/Scout_Trooper why are they redesigning it? Are there more endor sets? Will all my old ones become obsolete? Quote
Cyberbricker Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 When and where are the B-Wing, Snowspeeder, and Tantive IV Planets set supposed to show up? So far I have found them in a limited availability in one of my local toy stores, but there are only a few. They only got one supply packet of them so far, so when this group is finished, they will have to wait for a while... Quote
The_Chosen_1 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 http://lego.wikia.co...i/Scout_Trooper why are they redesigning it? Are there more endor sets? Will all my old ones become obsolete? "Obsolete" is all in how you look at it. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing to have a mix of old and new minifigures. I'm not a big fan of the new Scout Trooper, though. Without arm printing it has way too much black. Quote
Fuppylodders Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 http://lego.wikia.co...i/Scout_Trooper why are they redesigning it? Are there more endor sets? Will all my old ones become obsolete? I don't know why but I do know i prefer it, it is closer to looking authentic and correct. Old ones becoming obsolete, well, that is for you to decide... Mine will still be displayed etc alongside my new ones... Quote
TWP Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/Scout_Trooper why are they redesigning it? Are there more endor sets? Will all my old ones become obsolete? Always when I have a new version of a minifig, and too much old ones, I just pretend it's a commander/commando :) Quote
The_Chosen_1 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 I'm guessing that they'll include a few of the new Scout Troopers in the rumored Ewok Village, too. Quote
Brickadeer Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 http://lego.wikia.co...i/Scout_Trooper why are they redesigning it? Are there more endor sets? Will all my old ones become obsolete? I don't know why :) To me, the new scout isn't a huge improvement: still, the "mouth" and "ear" parts of the helmet are not printed. The unprinted helmet looks much more awkward on the new scout than on the old scout. Personally, I would have preferred black hips and black printing on white legs (or at least, that's what I think). The old scout looks very simple and to the point; it only needs a bit more black. The new scout, however, looks way too overprinted and complicated. Quote
Faefrost Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 i love the sail barge and yoda vs dooku set I love he new Yoda and Dooku's figs. The set itself I am less e armored of. It's to big for he story it is trying to tell. It reminds me of the Goblin King set from The Hobbit line. It's a great scene, but could have been done just as well or better in a smaller set. Most of the set is simply pointless scenery and walls, with no real play or display value. They could have reduced the sets size and price by 1/3 to 1/2 and no one would have noticed a difference. Quote
Commander_Rob Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Whaaat? Nooo! I always loved how the Scout hasn't been redesigned once since he first appeared. Sure, maybe the design could be improved, but that looks like mediocre customs from years ago. I'd agree that black printing on white would be better because so far, printing on black has never worked right, colours just don't match. Quote
AudiBobaR5-D2 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 With the redesign of the Scout Trooper, why not switch the arms with the original version, and then paint the arms with a bit of black paint. Just a thought. And I do agree that the new Scout Trooper does look complicated, but hopefully to buy it with the Advent calender this September or whenever it gets released. And I can't wait for the 2013 sets to be released in the UK as well. Quote
Darth Malgus Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Quite like the reboot of the scout trooper it looks pretty cool. I wonder how many may be included in the Ewok Village if and when its announced. Quote
Artanis I Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Built the MHC last night, I like it. (Far better set than the Headhunter (poor man's poor man's X-Wing) - I bought it mainly for the minifigs, now I wish I'd only bought the minifigs.) Only down side is building the 6 identical legs, I can get a bit annoyed when the build is repetitive. At least they are exactly the same so you can build them all at once, rather than building the same thing again & again with slight variations one after the other. Good to have the updated Ahsoka at last! Quote
Haderach Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Hi Guys - anyone spotted any rumors for the Oct. 2013 UCS release yet? Quote

Little_russian_AFOL Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 It could be the rumored "ewok village" as Sidious said, "they are only be two" Quote
