What's your recent LEGO Star Wars Purchase?

[Alfadas]

21% in The Netherlands, if I'm not mistaken. Could also be less, but here the taxes are included in the price.

Recently bought some of the battlepacks

[RetroInferno]

25%! Jesus Christ....

Agreed on Encounter on Jakku and the latest swarm of X-Wings, I really don't dig them.

I'll have to wait and see clearer shots of the new rogue sets to get a better opinion on them: but for those that dislikes them, just wait for the new death star, can't be worse than Assault on Hoth.

I found a bunch of the Utapau trooper battle packs at a store near me. Haven't decided if I want to buy one yet though

I would get at least one. I have two and they're really good. Very unique helmet mold for the airborne trooper, which is really cool.

Bricklinked the a-wing pilot from 2013, Ree-Yees and two Bith musicians. Wish I came out of the dark age in 2013 D:

When I look at Brickset, I've found that 2013 was my biggest year for SW purchases in terms of sets. So much good material.

25% as well...

[Raelthorne]

23% here

[slenos]

That's just ridiculous. Do you have income taxes as well?

[MysticModulus]

Yes, from about 30 % and up depending on the levels of income.

[slenos]

Ouch and I thought taxes were high here.

Although it's probably marked up get one or two! While I missed out originally I later brick linked the figures and oh my god, those are some of the best clone troopers Lego has made.

I look on the "new " Poes X-wing as kind of a rental, it's a generic, nothing special X-wing from the Resistance X-wing "motor pool" that he borrowed to go find Lor San Tekka, Where as his "Old" X-wing is his personal X-wing with some choice modifications.

From what I read that was his x-wing (he had a matching helmet and same marking in blue as on the orange) then when he lost it he got upgraded to the slightly new model and got transferred to black squadron

[Raelthorne]

Taking into account all deductions, about 51% of our income if a person earns over € / $ 32000 per annum

Good lord!!!!!!

[Raelthorne]

Good lord!!!!!!

Don't mean to derail the thread. Yup, then as I said:

23% sales tax (VAT) and then add in "stealth" taxes such as property tax, water charges, 33% tax on interest earned on your savings, €40 per annum tax per credit card, up to 2.5% tax on your withdrawals from an ATM and an additional 2% tax / levy on insurance payments due to financial mismanagement & poor regulation in the Insurance Sector.

General question, what are you guys from europe paying as taxes on such products (Lego)? It's 15% in Canada

Well, 15% in Quebec, 13% in Ontario (where I am), but it pretty much goes down from there (I think Alberta is 7% and they whine about that).

[Juke]

Got a lucky find. Found 75050 B-wing at my local toys r us. Also got 75080 ATT, and 75075 microfighter AT-AT along with it

[sponge_bob]

Cheap battlepacks are the way forward

[miles teg]

Check your local Tesco if in the UK,

Mine has Tie Advanced microfighters reduced to £2.50 each

!

[ChiefPie]

I got a 20% toys r us coupon but I don't know what to use it on hmm.

If you want Captain Rex's AT-TE, that's $96. The CTT, that's $88. The TIE vs. A-Wing, that's $72. The X-Wing, that's $64. Jakku, that's $48. Star Scavenger, that's $40. Eclipse Fighter, that's $24. Or if you want something else, the regular price times 0.20.

If I were in your position, I'd be tempted by the Resistance X-Wing and the Tie vs. A-Wing combo

Product x 0.80 = net before tax

That way too.

I have one of those TRU 20% off coupons. Trying to think of a way to convince the wife to use it on one of the new sets, Too bad TRU doesn't carry the Hoth set. 20% off that would be $200 even.

[jdm44]

How does one obtain a 20% off TRU coupon?

[ChiefPie]

It came in the mail with a small catalog. The awing set sounds good with the coupon because that set is definitely not worth $90.

[RetroInferno]

Torn on weither or not I should buy Jabba off bricklink, that guy alone is worth more than a small set itself. Meanwhile there is no one to tail slap poor Bib Fortuna :( Also seriously considering getting all of the Rogue One sets D:
