Ultron Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Wow, they managed to ruin Chewies bowcaster! And is that Lando with an eyepatch? You don't like it? At least it still resembles the bow caster and has a fun play feature. Better than the new stud shooter guns that are super bulky and ugly. Also not sure if that's sarcasm, but no that's not Lando Quote
Criss Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 I went to a TRU in germany this afternoon, they had lots of TFA stuff displayed and every new LEGO set was there to touch and watch, multiple times. I picked up Reys Speeder for a quick fun build (27€), but i fell in love with the falcon (150€) and Kylos Shuttle (120€). Build was a joy and i feel a little bit hyped now for the movie. But i also wait until october to catch double VIP points, no need to hurry for me. Quote
mordatre Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) One of the new "Gunners" in Kylo Ren´s shuttle has a Brown head. Not sure if it´s new. Edited September 4, 2015 by mordatre Quote
H_Solo Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 ...Ordered x-wing from S@H and got free Yukaren minifigure (...), ninjago polybag and Lego phantom Menace poster. Waiting until double points for Falcon. That should bring my points up enough to get command shuttle for free! Love it when a plan comes together! Just ordered the FO TIE Fighter to get Yularen, the free Ninjago Polybag and the E1 poster as well as free shipping and VIP points... Nice one, LEGO! I'll get the rest of the TFA sets at Legoland or TRU with 20% off, which brings them to a fairly decent price point... Quote
K-Nut Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 One of the new "Gunners" in Kylo Ren´s shuttle has a Brown head. Not sure if it´s new. I'm fairly certain that's Finn's head.... The other head looks like the same one that's on the second pilot in Poe's X-Wing. Quote
karmajay Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 My local lego store had all the sets. I bought Rey's speeder and Poe's x-wing. Had the MF in hand but decided to wait as a technic set was available I wanted at the same price point. Quote
Jedi-Bendu Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 For the record: the 'resistance ground crew' minifig from the new X-Wing set has a name (very minor spoiler): http://makingstarwars.net/2015/09/pz-4c0-goss-toowers-guavian-bodyuard-general-hux-star-wars-the-force-awakens-figures-and-designs/ and http://www.starwars.com/databank/goss-toowers Quote
deskp Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 I'm fairly certain that's Finn's head.... it's not ;) Quote
JPN366 Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Does anyone know of an Target exclusive LEGO set? I have a friend claiming there is one, but I don't have any reason to believe that. Quote
Darth Kylo Ren Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Just went to Target, they had all the sets mixed up with the regular sets and the ones just released. Quote
HawkLord Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 My wife and I each managed to get one of the TRU Lego bricks last night. I was hoping it was a solid brick, but it has that panel style to it. Fun fact - it doesn't state Disney anywhere on the brick or package. Still, another memorabilia brick to add to the wall. TRU also had a number of the Lego sets out, but nothing I felt like jumping at just yet. Quote
Lynx Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 If you haven't done so, do yourself a favour and visit the official LEGO website. The Episode VII products are up - including the cute mini clips. Quote
ResIpsaLoquitur Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Does Phasma have a face under the helmet? Quote
Lego Fett Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) Does Phasma have a face under the helmet? Unprinted black head. Edited September 4, 2015 by Lego Fett Quote

JaHawk2009 Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 So this morning, around 11am, I headed to the Lego Store in Leeds. It wasn't any busier than a normal Friday, and everyone in there was definitely looking at the new sets, but they weren't segregated, just mixed in at random with all the PT and OT sets (the Snowspeeder was practically in the Ninjago section - I thought they didn't have it at first). The shelves were well stocked, except for Rey's Speeder, which was dwindling. I picked up the Speeder and X-Wing. Decided to wait on everything else till I've seen the movie and decided whether I like the ships/characters enough to lay down the money being asked. And on that note, could that be why only the £20 Speeder was selling? Plenty of people picking up the boxes of the TIE or Transporter and then quickly putting it down again when they saw the price tag. Have Lego set these too high? Quote
Brickus Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Does anyone know why the Advent Calendar isn't up on the UK, European and Australasian LEGO S@H websites? Quote
JaHawk2009 Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Does anyone know why the Advent Calendar isn't up on the UK, European and Australasian LEGO S@H websites? I asked in-store today, was informed they had the stock in but have been told not to sell it until they're a couple weeks into the TFA sets being out - apparently they don't want to dilute the sales of TFA sets with people getting the advent calendar instead. I was told to come back end of September for it Quote
Richpepperell Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Does Phasma have a face under the helmet? No face, but the printing on the torso, legs and helmet is superb, some details are almost to fine to see. Same on the standard stormtroopers. The whole set is a fun build with plenty of variation in techniques. Looks better with the spring loaded shooters left off imo. Tried the Phasma minifigure with Juno Eclipse head/hair. Looks good but we'll have to wait for the movie to see if she even takes her helmet off. Quote
QUICKRICH Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Does anyone know why the Advent Calendar isn't up on the UK, European and Australasian LEGO S@H websites? I bought it from ASDA they have it up for £22.97, collecting it from my local store tomorrow. Quote
just2good Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Here's a look at Rey's Speeder! Despite being the smallest of the wave, I feel this set gets the most "bang" for your buck. You get two exclusive figures, and a very well-done speeder that seems accurate to the source material. Quote

Loving those detailed photos man thanks Definitely picking this up with the FO transporter and Poes X-Wing. Edited September 5, 2015 by Lobot : Please don't quote images, thanks :-) Quote

I was told to come back end of September for it That's weird, I asked in the Watford store today (which didn't have the calendars out either) and the branch manager informed me that it was due to a misprint on the boxes and they were waiting for some sort of corrective sticker to be sent out to them before they put the calendars out. So which is the correct reason I wonder? I think there's some truth to what I was told actually - I think I recall somebody pointing out an error on the European version that stated there was an exclusive Darth Vader figure on the side, when it should say C-3PO. Oh well, either way it saved me spending more money at the store today and has encouraged me to wait until it goes to 20% off on Amazon or something Edited September 4, 2015 by TheOneVeyronian Quote

I'll probably still get it at Lego store for the VIP points, however Quote
x105Black Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 ...so...rerelease with a printed head somewhere down the line? I'm guessing there will be another release with a printed head eventually. I'm not sure they want to reveal the character yet. Then again, most fans have been following up with all of the information and spoilers. Quote
