June 7, 201311 yr I dreamed of it Definitely a must-buy for who can afford it ! I wonder if the trees are tall enough to let an AT-ST go between ? May be two sets will be needed
June 8, 201311 yr Win, win, win! Bought on sight. That is just too gorgeous to pass up. I might need two. Now if Lego can just make a ghost set of Yoda, Obi-Wan, and Anakin that set would be complete.
June 10, 201311 yr I have talked forever about how the Ewok village would be a must have if made. Now to start saving.
June 10, 201311 yr My wifes reaction to this set has been amusing. She has a thing for Ewoks, but she also has a thing against me spending $250 on Lego (that she knows about... I operate on the don't ask don't tell rules). So this one has left her conflicted. "How much? But but Ewoks!"
June 10, 201311 yr Good to know of another Ewok-lover. Some people will have aversions to anything. Jar Jar, sure, but Ewoks? To avoid heated debate now, that is the most entertaining price-over-content struggle I have heard of. Your wife is pretty cool, judging by her savvy reaction to the Council of Elrond set, detailed earlier in the LotR/Hobbit thread. Hope that the Village doesn't become another living room attraction, though!

I keep seeing this comment posted different places, and I suspect these figs would be great candidates for May the 4th specials!
June 10, 201311 yr Well, that would discourage people from the set, which would ruin its purpose. The minifigs are some of the greatest appeal to the set, so to remarket them in exclusives would take away the appeal to some extent.

June 10, 201311 yr Ah, I see. I didn't understand. But now (re)starts the debate about the possibility of the figures. Answer: they can't be fully transparent. Why does everyone care about them so much anyway? It's a cool little scene that lasts a few seconds. Not too much to get upset about. Edited June 11, 201311 yr by 8BrickMario
June 11, 201311 yr I like how many forum members hated the idea of ewok village and know everybody is loving it
June 11, 201311 yr While the set is great, I doubt I'll be buying it soon... Maybe, if it sticks around for as long as the Death Star has, but I definitely won't be jumping the trigger on it the second it comes out. I love Eworks and the tree design, but it just doesn't do the *wow* effect for me. In any case, I'll be getting myself some Ewoks, one way or another

Why does everyone care about them so much anyway? It's a cool little scene that lasts a few seconds. Not too much to get upset about. Mostly I think the Force Ghosts were originally wanted because they're unusual. Just the concept of a transparent Jedi seems awesome. Also, weren't there Force Ghosts in the video games? I think they were one of the most expensive characters to unlock, and they were practically invincible, or something like that. I don't remember exactly; it's been too long since I've played one of those games. I vaguely remember playing one of those and then wanting a Force Ghost minifig. Nowadays I think people want them just because they're the ones were keep saying we want that we can't have.
June 13, 201311 yr This or Orthanc :/ That's my biggest dilemma too... Edited June 13, 201311 yr by Csacsa234
June 13, 201311 yr Actually, I'd probably go with Orthanc in this case (and save up for the Ewok Village). If 10188 is any indication, then Lego likes to keep their large Star Wars playsets on the market for quite a while.
August 16, 201311 yr Youtube user Jangbricks already bought the set and has a very detailed review of it on his channel in two parts.
August 16, 201311 yr I am so getting this... only question is, do I buy it now, or wait for next months Lego Shop freebies?
August 16, 201311 yr I'm definitely buying, but I'll wait it out for another two weeks to get the fantastic September freebies.

Nowadays I think people want them just because they're the ones were keep saying we want that we can't have. I'd have thought that they're wanted simply because people want them to be in sets and MOCs depicting scenes in which they appeared - the same reason for which they'd typically want any other minifigure. I'm really surprised to learn it was anything more complicated than that for anyone else. Edited August 18, 201311 yr by Blondie-Wan
August 19, 201311 yr Can't wait for Christmas! I'll mention to my wife about the S@H freebies for next month, she should order it then. Edited August 19, 201311 yr by Chills
August 19, 201311 yr I bought this set yesterday and have only built the speeder bike, catapult, and the standalone tree. Up to this point - that also means putting together the two scout troopers and two Ewoks (including Wicket). So far it's a really fun set. If I recall correctly - there are 15 or so bags numbered up to 11, two unmarked bags, one loose plate, three instruction booklets, and a small sticker sheet with 3 stickers. One note that I thought was really cool: one of the stickers is a heart with four Aurebesh letters (http://starwars.wiki...m/wiki/Aurebesh). If you look up the letters, it spells out the following: LEIA
