DEAD1974 Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 is it now a trend that LEGO makes the new sets shorter than were the old one??? like old and new advanced Tie Fighter and now also the Y wing. Quote

I don't really think so. But is the new Y-wing actually shorter than the 2012 one? Quote
khatmorg Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 It's shorter than the 2007 at least, I sadly don't have the 2012 to compare though. The 2013 ISD is also smaller/shorter than it's previous version but tbh that's the only other set I can think of at the top of my head. Quote
VaderFan2187 Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Quick question: I want to buy a $19.99 set for a kid. Duel on Naboo is already owned. Which is an easier build (I want to get the easier one): Yoda's Jedi Starfighter OR Luke's Landspeeder? Quote
Flandy Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Landspeeder is definitely easier, but my 10 year old nephew had no problems with Yodas starfighter. Quote

Yeah I was eyeing landspeeder, because Yoda's JSF has several Technic stuff which my young friend is not good at. Quote

RetroInferno Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Did they ever produced dual molded arms and legs for a starwars mini-fig? I may be wrong but I think they never did? Quote

RAKRONDEWL Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) Does anyone know what kind of "mines" Boba Fett's Slave I uses? I have looked online and have found sites that say it has seismic charges and ones that say space mines. So is it the latter, former, or are they the same thing? Thanks in advance.

These are what Jango's Slave I used but Boba Fett's Slave I was rebuilt and I can't find any solid information on whether or not it uses these as well. I think Boba Fett's Slave I may have used space mines in the EU but after the Attack of the Clones and Disney buying Lucas Films, the new cannon might suggest it uses the seismic charges but I can't find anything definite. Maybe seismic charges are considered space mines? All I know is that the Slave I has a minelayer and there are no illustrations of it. This image has the mines listed as seismic charges in the information box (it doesn't really say whether it is Boba's Slave I though) http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/0/09/Slave1TechPlate.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150825223957 This Link says minelayers use space mines http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Minelayer_(weapon_system) Edited January 11, 2017 by RAKRONDEWL Quote
Yeow Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Wanted to ask and see if I should pick up 75158 Rebel Combat Frigate. If Amazon sold it for less than MSRP like they usually do, I'd probably pick it up easily, but it seems to be exclusive to TRU/S@H and I've never seen it on sale. Quote

It certainly is exclusive, and you probably won't see it on sale, sadly. Like many big Rebels sets there isn't much value for money at that price, but Ahsoka is $50 or so on BL so the question is "do you like the taste of bullets?" If so, bite it, if not, turn around and walk away. Quote

Forresto Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) Ashoka is $50? That's insane. New Death Star Tarkin on the other hand I got for $30, that's twenty dollars cheaper obviously, and his set is several times more expensive then Ashoka's. Is this just demand? Because i'd be surprised if Tarkin is in less demand then Ashoka. In fact i've noticed that many of the Death Star exclusive figures range at about $30. Maybe i'm just looking at the cheapest ones out there but I find it strange anyone would pay that much. Of course if you're only buying the set for her and literally care for nothing else then I suppose fifty is better then one hundred and thirty. BTW sorry, thats by American currency. How very American centric of me. Edited January 11, 2017 by Forresto Quote

How very American centric of me. Supply & demand. Not a lot of people are buying the set to part out / sell the minifigs, and not a lot of people are as interested in the set as they are in the Ahsoka minifig. I just checked and there are only 8 available on BL! Quote

I think I'll wait until May the 4th to order one from S&H to get whatever freebie they hand out this year, since I can get every other Star Wars set I want on sale from Amazon or elsewhere. Quote
