Jayoheazy Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Hey guys! Wondering if I could get some advice as to what I should pick up with a gift card... Poe's X-Wing or Battle of Takodana? The X-Wing appears to be sold out everywhere, so I have no idea when that will even get back in stock at TRU, but I feel like people may jump on the Takodana set with it having the cheaper option to get Kylo. Thoughts? I have both and only bought the Takodana bc it was $50. It's way overpriced IMO Quote

Thoughts? The Takodana set is a pure joke for me, get it if you are a mini-fig enthusiast or collector but no way in hell I'll buy that for 75$ CAN. Quote

Thoughts? I don't own the X-Wing (I plan on getting it), but I can say that Takodana is no good. The set is just a brick wall, a tree with two limbs, and a door that opens into nothing. Of course the minifigs are good but they're not worth the price of the set. I wasn't planning on buying it but Target tricked me with their $10 off. If you can afford it then I would highly recommend Kylo's Shuttle. That way you get Kylo + an awesome set. Quote
jdm44 Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 I have a question for you guys. Is there any chance that the Sandcrawler or the Ewok Village will go on sale at some point? I just got into collecting Lego Star Wars and I've had my eye on those two ever since I started browsing all the sets (especially the Sandcrawler). I don't mind waiting until they are a bit cheaper. I just don't want to wait too long and have them go up in price. Quote

I just don't want to wait too long and have them go up in price. UCS sets ( and any popular lego sets ) will rarely go in any special sales. Ewok village has been out for quite a while now and has been quite popular ,and I don't doubt the Sandcrawler will dissapear so soon, The best thing you could do is buy a used set cheaper than the current retail one or wait for a double VIP event on the online store: you could save up maybe 30$.

pittpenguin123 Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Ok guys its agenst the rules to complain about prices so there is a warning b4 the staff does. but also 1. its a large set making it about 50 bucks worth. 2. its star wars so like any other set it gets a about 10-15 more bucks then its wroth. 3. its star wars TFA. 3.5. the movie just came out and the hype for it is real so its about another 10-15 bucks.

I actually just finished building Kylo's Shuttle last night! Awesome build, but I need to Bricklink the pieces to change the angle on the wings. Between Force Friday and Christmas, I got all of the Force Awakens sets except for the Snowspeeder, and Poe's X-Wing. (Still have to build the Falcon) TRU doesn't even list the X-Wing anymore (Canada), and I'm a little vehicle fatigued, so I may just pick up Battle of Takondana for something different. (The $ doesn't bother me too much, because I've got the gift card) Quote
ChiefPie Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Does anybody know any stores or shops where oldish Lego, I mean from 2012/13, sets are sold? This is because Im very much fond of the idea of adding the At te from the 2013 line being added to my collection at a reasonable price. Much appreciated. I've seen duel on geonosis and corporate alliance tank from 2013 on sale at Hallmark Quote

I just don't want to wait too long and have them go up in price. It may depend on where you live. Where I am (Austraila) local Lego resellers have had both of those two sets as their exclusive sets in annual sales at a small discount of 5-10% off rrp for the past two years. However, if you really want them I wouldn't wait as either could retire at any stage and the price will skyrocket once they do. Lego S@H will not discount them prior to retirement. Ewok village is older and with two new rumored UCS playsets expected this year I would get that one first. Quote
ChubbyMcPorkin Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Do you guys reckon the Ewok village will still be around on June 1st? Quote
Jayoheazy Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Do you guys reckon the Ewok village will still be around on June 1st? From what I see locally (CA) and online via I would guess not. It's already getting pretty dry Quote
HawkLord Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 I think you might be able to find the Ewok Village online, but probably not in stores. That's assuming whatever UCS replacement to the Death Star doesn't drop before then. Quote
AudiBobaR5-D2 Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) Not sure if talking about asking question regarding the EU fits in here, (well a Lego SW EU question though). What parts would be suitable to make Jaina, Anakin, and Jacen in likes of when piloting the three Tie Advanced's? Always been thinking about asking this since founding the image of all three from the (old) EU some long time ago. Edited January 13, 2016 by AudiBobaR5-D2 Quote
Jayoheazy Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Has anyone in CA ever seen the Finn Stormtrooper polybag? I've seen people post it around here but never seen it in stores. Is this a 2016 model? Quote

Is this a 2016 model? Probably. It's most likely going to be a "freebie" for a game preorder because of the code on the package. Quote
benderisgreat Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 So I had this question for a while, but why do most lightsaber hilts in Lego look the same ,(with just 3 exceptions: Dooku's , Ventress's and Inquisitor's)? SW theme existed for 15 years, and Lego didn't bother to at least make 2-3 different molds for Jedi. I mean standart hilts kinda look like Obi-Wan's . Maybe they could have made Anakins hilt since his lightsaber is important part of OT and TFA. Quote

Sir Gareth Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Are Resistance ground troops solely human? Quote
atlas Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 No. What do you mean by ground troops? In the VD it is explained that due to the lack of personnel, resistance fighters fulfil multiple roles. One of the alien technician guys is included in 75102 Quote
Sir Gareth Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 No. What do you mean by ground troops? By ground troops, I mean the type of soldiers in the Resistance Trooper battle pack. Quote
ChubbyMcPorkin Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 By ground troops, I mean the type of soldiers in the Resistance Trooper battle pack. If you mean in the battlepack, then yes they are all human. If you mean generally over the whole line then they are all still human. And if you mean in the movie then there probably some aliens there somewhere. Quote
Legoman123 Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 When are we likely to see a new Lego Star Wars game? Quote
benderisgreat Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 When are we likely to see a new Lego Star Wars game? I think it's a good chance we will get new game, which Finn polybag indicate, but I hope they will release it in 2017 to coincide with ep 8. Quote
Richpepperell Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 I'm trying to get hold of a few of the imperial officer caps from 75055 imperial start destroyer - part no 6080360. I've tried bricklink and fleabay but no joy. Anybody know anyone with a few for sale? It's easy to get the tan 'rebels' version and I guess the black one will be easy to get too due to the battle pack, but there don't seem to be any dark bluish grey ones anywhere! Quote

I have a couple of those caps from the Build a Minifigure at LEGO stores. Haven't got any officers yet but I hope to get the battlepack and match up the men with the hats. Quote
