Star Wars I saw set 75052 £69.99 New Dewback in olive green. The Advent Calendar will have an Xmas tree droid and Darth Vader Santa. Imperial shuttle and mini tie fighter. Festive fire with a lightsaber holder and lightsaber on the side. 75055 Imperial Star Destroyer comes with a microfig of the Emperor. 50% increase in price over the original and part count is similar. Less of a technic build inside. £119.99

The price increase is referring to 75055 ISD.

I think so too. But that would 100 %, not 50 %.

Yes indeed, corrected. Thank you.

Hologram probably.

Yeah I think someone mentioned a halogram previously. Doubt the emperor is hanging out on an ISD, especially without his guard.

The micro figure of the Emperor could possibly be the same mould used in board games or the one used in the Super Star Destroyer - either way I'm still glad we are getting one.

About the Advent Calender: This years is certainly a stock we can look forward too. The two Christmas themed models sound amazing and the mini models look promising as well.

The brick report said the advent calendar was to double in price.

Just why on earth would they do that? The advent calenders have little to offer and after christmas no one buys them. You can even get the ones from 2012 one right now in most Toys-r-us stores.

Barry from brickfanatics has been to the London Toy Fair and this is what he reports:

75053 Ghost ship from Rebels will be £69.99, 75054 AT-AT £109.99 similar size to old one but different leg construction. Snow Speeder comes separately.

They didn't. If you read the actual report, the price rise refers to the ISD and not the advent calendar. And the increase is not double, it's 50%...

Sorry to repeat whats already been posted.

Oh sorry, I was too busy having lunch, but I was planning on reading it later. Thanks for the news though. I assume the price will be $60 now? That should be correct since it was $40 before.

According to Barry, Figrin D'an is in the Cantina set, but apparently he can't remember the rest of the line-up except Obi-Wan, Luke and the Dewback :wink:

Check out the comment section at the bottom of the page: http://brickfanatics...oy-fair-report/

Well, if he saw and remembered Figrin D'an (and the fig is named!) and not the others, I think we can safely assume that we are not getting three Biths, but one. There is still hope.

Then I'm thinking Figrin D'an, Han, Luke, Greedo, Obi-wan, Sandtrooper, Pondo Babba, Hammerhead, Dewback. Damn, that would be eight figs. I say this cause in the prelim, we had: 3 squidwards, 1 Greedo stand-in, Obi-wan, Luke, Han, and Sandtrooper. But I may be wrong. We'll see.

In the corner you can see the sw sets :D

Um, where? :wacko:

edit: I see it, but still it's almost like it's not there.

Well, the only problem with that would be that box announces 2 new minifigures. And we know that Greedo takes one slot. So either that highly improbable hypothesis that the box didn't represent the Cantina set is true, or they only displayed one Bith, but will include three of them. I'd be damn happy if it turns out you are right though.

Spyderlord, the 2 new minifigures mentioned in the catalogue are for the B-Wing, not the cantina.

I think the two "NEW!" figs are for the Ghost. I've thought that since we saw the prelim.

I still think that the 2 NEW MINIFIGURES are for the Cantina set as people disputing this have listed several other sets the figures are referring to rather than a single set. Is it possible that the 2 new figures refer to 2 minifigures that have never been released in physical form in the history of LEGO Star Wars? This could mean that Greedo isn't classed as a NEW minifigures as he has been made before in an earlier Cantina set.
