2004/2005 Hunting Star Wars Sets and availability

[V()()D()()]

Hey I wouldnt be talking, you guys get Vikings *wub* , we get D.I.N.O. attack :'(

[xwingyoda]

Do not worry there, you will get Vickings only via S@H (and we will not get the crappy dino line via S@H) ;)

[Jipay]

That would make it even worse :-D

Having a not so small market and having no Lego promotions whatsoever ;)

The market is not smaller... the act is that TLC dumbly consider US as one market while europe is cut into countries. Germany is the second largest market. Actually if you add all the european coutnries you could maybe even have a bigger market

The guy on FBTB edited his post, and said that if you do not have an albertsons near by, you can do a Catalog Quick Order on shop at home for a Jedi starfighter and vulture with the code as SP35.

I do not know if this works for europeans though.

[snefroe]

the guys from Lego Belgium said that Begium takes 2% of TLC's total turnover... That's really a lot... but still... no lego shop...

i've tried to buy lego via American online shops, like amazon.com,... but they're not allowed to send most of the Lego stuff to Europe. it's all in the taxes, i'm afraid. with 25% VAT on every set, a high Euro and high taxes in general, there simply isn't any margin for huge price cuts. i've never seen a large price cut of a large set, like the AT AT. Sometimes, shops reduce the price of smaler sets by 10 or 20%, but that's as far as it goes in Belgium. 50% off for a millennium Falcon or AT AT is something i can only dream of... :()

The image:

EDIT: Well the ARC fighter sucks. There was a MOC earlier on which was MUCH better and more detailed.

[xwingyoda]

Sweeeeeeeeeeet :oo

Thanks for the pics Wolf04 ;)

[Wolf04]

It's from fbtb so thank whoever posted it there... ;)

[jonfett]

I really like the JSF but the ARC just doesn't look right. Firstly is is alot smaller than the starfighter, it would have been nice if they were in a similar scale. Secondly, the wings on the ARC are not the right size either, the small flag piece used for the wings just seems strange.

As wolf04 said, I would have prefered to see something similar to the MOC we saw a few weeks ago.

I think they're both pretty good, and will get the if they ever come out over here (nowhere ever said they were US only).

[xwingyoda]

Looks that the Arc is in scale with the X-wing, and the JSF is much bigger

[Wolf04]

Yea exactly. It's so stupid. Why couldn't they keep a scale and work with that. They just make them the smallest they can and that's it.

[xwingyoda]

Totally, at least with the small ships like the X-wing .... they are in the same scale.

Really stupid for the JSF.

The only problem with the one scale is for more bigger ship like the ISD (if it was in scale, it would not be a "mini" anymore :-D )

[Wolf04]

Well, the model we got is a "mini" version because it already comes with a mini RBR. I wish we could get a mini-fiig ISD...sweet!!!

[xwingyoda]

and huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge :-D ;)

[erikutt]

thats so unfare

i want free LEGO too

Erik

[mutley777]

looks like i will have to get these from ebay or bricklink.

[sam89]

I'm hoping they'll be given away with a promotion in the UK as well. It doesn't mention anywhere that they'll only be released in the UK.

[jonfett]

We got a free mini tie with the Lego magazine so maybe it will happen with one of these??

Jon.

[Wolf04]

People, chillax, the sets will be available individually later in the year from S@H and at your local LEGO store.

[xwingyoda]

Very good news indeed. ;)

[sam89]

People, chillax, the sets will be available individually later in the year from S@H and at your local LEGO store.

Where did you hear that?

[Wolf04]

Have patience young one. Your desire is great but you must wait. Soon, the force will be with you, soon.

[xwingyoda]

Twisted by the dark side, youg Wolf04 have become :-D

[The Middleman]

Hm, darn, I was looking forward to buying Ep. III sets one at a time and selling some of my extra ARCs/JSFs on eBay... ;)
