    LEGO Star Wars 2014 Pictures and Rumors

    No I didn't, I said it looked a little bigger and utilised one of the new "stud blaster" weapons on the back so you could fire the harpoon, which i thought was a neat feature ... :P

    LEGO Star Wars 2014 Pictures and Rumors

    I'd totally forgotten that there was an AT-AT released in 2010. I never bought it, because it wasn't as good as 4483, in my opinion. Looking at the pic of 8129 on Brickset vs my hazy memories of yesterday, I would say the new one and 8129 are similar sized, but both smaller than 4483.

    I didn't note the piece counts. They weren't listed by the sets themselves. They might have been on the prelim boxes that were on a shelf, but I didn't inspect those. Also, I am comparing it to the 4483 version of the AT-AT. That's the one I have at home. That had 1068 pieces, so if the piece count of 1138 is right, that's only a difference of 70. Maybe the difference is in the greebling and use of technic pieces in the legs? Obviously, I didn't have the two side by side to compare, it's just that it seemed the main body and head were slightly smaller in the new version.

    As stated in the original article, the minifigures were not at the fair. Only a small 2D picture of them and as I don't have an identikit memory, I can't answer this in the detail you want! Sorry ...

    Yes, that was one of the ships I saw yesterday ... I really didn't think much of it! I wrote the report on FBTB, so if you have questions, please ask and I will try my best to remember the details ... obviously you need to remember that I have NOTHING to refer to other than an audio recording of whatever I or the presenters were saying about whatever set it was they were holding at the time! I've posted some answers to the questions asked on FBTB in the thread over there, too. One correction regarding the B wing ... it does NOT come with a Y Wing pilot ... I meant B Wing!
  6. So, I'm having a bit of a clear-out of sets, mostly Star Wars. All sets are used, but in very good condition, unless otherwise stated. I generally build, display and then carefully pack away in ziplock bags, with minifigures, windscreens (and the like) and stickered items put in separate bags. All sets have instructions in near mint condition. All sets have boxes, should you want them, although that may increase postage. Prices could be negotiated. 10123 Cloud City (including ALL figures) OFFERS 8088 ARC-170 Starfighter £40 7675 AT-TE Walker £85 7930 Bounty Hunter Assault Gunship £35 (stickers not applied, still mint on the sheet) 8128 Cad Bane's Speeder £40 8098 Clone Turbo Tank £115 8095 General Grievous’ Starfighter £54 9491 Geonosian Cannon £16 used or £18 MISB 7959 Geonosian Starfighter £23 7915 Imperial V-wing Starfighter £18 8093 Plo Koon’s Jedi Starfighter £25 7676 Republic Attack Gunship £130 8019 Republic Attack Shuttle £42 7931 T-6 Jedi Shuttle £45 (sticks not applied, still mint on the sheet) 8039 Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser £120 7674 V-19 Torrent £42 4475 Jabba's Message £23 4476 Jabba's Prize £22 4480 Jabba's Palace £75 4500 Rebel Snowspeeder £35 40083 Holiday Set 2013 2 of 2 £15 MISB Just let me know if you're interested :) Thanks

    UK Sales

    Since when does anyone actually use the links posted in threads like to actually buy stuff? If you had any sense, you'd take the hints given here, use your own account on a cashback site to buy the product and get both the discounted set *and* the cashback for yourself?!

    I believe we were told August at the UK Toy Fair yesterday. There was no mention that the UK or Europe won't see Galaxy Squad.

    Decal Wish List

    Hi ... I'm looking for the following decals ... can anyone help me ? A cricketer torso decal, along the lines of a standard cricket jumper and leg decals, along the lines of cricket batting pads. A footballer decal, torso and legs, along the lines of the Liverpool FC kit.

    I hope you didn't buy Palpatines Arrest from them, since it's £20 more expensive there than S@H ?!

    LEGO's 80th Anniversary... of what?

    According to the Lego Press Release for today, it's when they founded the production company to make toys. Either way, here's a little vig I made of Ole Kirk Kristiansen (or is it Christiansen?!) making wooden toys! I hope you like it ? Happy 80th Birthday Lego! by bigospedros, on Flickr It's loosely based on the pics found here

    LEGO Team GB Minifigures Discussion

    Just thought I'd share my display for these figs ... simple, but quite effective I think :) Lego Team GB Olympic Minifigures Display by bigospedros, on Flickr
