2004/2005 Hunting Star Wars Sets and availability

[chewie]

woohoo this is getting better it sounds like a pretty good set but like everyone else the sticker sucks.....i sure hope its not like the stickers on the sopwith camel..cause those sucked they curl up around the edges and they dont stick very good after being on the plane for a bit

[DoubleT]

Yes great news sam89 :)

Now all we need are pics ;)

[Vader]

Well this set sounds good and i cant wait to see some pics, what is it with lego and this sticker crap. :(

[Wolf04]

Woop-de-doo stickers. Couldn't they put some small windows?

[Ras 74]

It

[sam89]

He said he can't get pics, but they should come soon enough anyway.

Sam, could you ask your source about the dimensions of the crawler?

[snefroe]

are you guys really going to spend 370

[xwingyoda]

I know the price is ridiculous but I like this big ball ;)

We'll see at the end of the year ;)

[Vader]

Yeah ive been wondering just how big this thing will actually be too.

[sam89]

I have the demensions, but apparently I'm not allowed to give them out. But from what I've heard it's not THAT big.

[snefroe]

i guess the best way to figure out if this is a cool set, a set you can display at home, is to ask non-lego folk if it's really credible enough as a display set. i know lots of non-lego people loved the Star destroyer. they did not look at it as a toy, but as a display model. wonder what they'll say about the ball... i think non-lego people are able to look at this more objectively than we are.

[Ras 74]

Well, I started to wonder a bit about this:

- A bigger workshop can be placed around the "body" and can be removed

But then I thought about the price... Then we just have to get two, and MOC it together as one!

[stb]

I'll buy this set to complete my collection and I think about importing this from U.S. (together with the Sandcrawler) to save some money.

I think the Star Destroyer is the better set because it's simply larger (not in number of parts but in length) and has more details (laser cannons etc). On the pictures the Death Star II seems to be quite simple in architecture.

I hope there are some more classic sets like cloud city, Millennium Falcon (new) and AT-AT in the future (with many figures). At least I don't need any more R2D2's and Luke's and Vader's...

[Christian]

The date have changed again, atleast in europe.

Now its the 22 of june!

I hope this is not a mistake again.

[Mister Phes]

I wouldn't spend that much on a Pirate LEGO set! So unless one magically drops out of the sky and lands before me, I'm never going to own this one...

[sam89]

Now its the 22 of june!

I hope this is not a mistake again.

It's changed back to September again.

[Christian]

It must have been a mistake again >:(

Why do they changes the date all of the time.

[Jipay]

that's symptomatic of companies with big communication troubles...

[Mister Phes]

More Sandcrawler news:

- 11 figures: 3 Jawas, C3PO, Uncle Owen, R2D2, Red R2, 3 additional brick made droids, 1 battle droid based droid

- Cockpit at top is only a sticker

11 figures! Oh hoooooooooray!!! I always wish for more mini-figures. There's never enough of them.

But a sticker for the cockpit, this I cannot condone... Cop out!

[Mister Phes]

Ah yes... LEGO being incompetent communicators... We discussed that a few months ago...

Anyways, in relation to this beast of a creation, what kind of grey is it made from? To me it looks like the traditional colour, but at another time of the day it might not.
