Belloq Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 One question, anyone in the US get the troll warship yet, because, I have someone in Sweden and was wondering if I should get this set now or wait till August to get this set in the States. I was wondering what the price difference is. And since I kinda don't wanna wait, sweden is looking pretty tempting right about now, and both these windowsare the only choices I have since where I live they havehardly any Lego, and the little lego we do have is either city, crreator or Ferrari. Also, I needed someones opinion on the cost of some sets I'm ordering. I'm gonna buy Vladek's dark Fortress, Dwarves' Mine, Viking Longboat vs Sea serpent, Jabba's sail barge, the dark wizard's skulll tower-thingy, a skeleton and knight battle pack and maybe even The troll warship. Can someone give me general feedback on each set and approximate price and weight estimation? Its a big favor to ask but, please?
kill will Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Well, I know all USD$ prices of the sets you described, so here goes. Vladek's dark fortress: $99.99 USD. I personally think it's a mountain o' BURPs, LURPs, and other huge castle pieces. As for the figs, Jelly knights, generic red-black bad guys, a pile of useless zwords and silly catapults! But, that's just what I think. Dwarves mine: $49.99 original price, now it's $69.99! It has a lot of useful pieces and accesories, but the figs soon will be available in other sets. Though only one of the dwarves will be available in other sets, the troll attackship being one of them. Viking longboat: $49.99 USD. I really like the boat hull and figs, though if you'll be getting the troll attackship I'm not sure if I would get it. The "Sea Serpent" is very annoying, it's not flexible at all. It's a great boat though! Jabba's sail barge: $74.99 USD. I LOVE the barge, it has great consruction and just has an amazing big solid feel to it. Also, it fits very well in the castle theme once you take off the guns. It has a lot of rare figs in it, so in my opinion, a must buy. Wizard's tower, $49.99 USD. I personally have not had first hand experience with it so I don't know much about it. Skellie and Knight BPs, $12.99 USD. Again, no experience. They do seem overpriced though. Troll attackship: It has 497 pieces and a lot of figs so, $50? $60? The toy fair price tag was $69.99 though with 497 pieces I highly think it will be that much though. I'm really looking forward to it, I hope it's $50. Hope my long rambling post helps!

I'm really looking forward to it, I hope it's $50. Hope my long rambling post helps! Vladeks is now at about 70$ and the barge is at 100, so I really want an evil fortress and a good guy and bad guy ship, which is why I posted all these options up in the first place. But after reading what youve said and adding up the prices: 100$ 70$ 50$ 75$ 50$ 12$ 12$ 70$ TOTAL: about 439$ (mental math) Thats all just estimated, lets look at the bricklink prices: 7036 -> 65$ (Seller In Korea) 7093 -> 43$ (Australian Seller) 7048 ->100$ (Belgium S.) 8877 ->69$ (USA S.) 852272 -> 16$ (USA S.) 852271 -> 16$ (USA S.) 7018 -> 45$ (Germany S.) 6210 -> 125$ (USA S.) Total: 479$ (Calculator) EDIT: I kinda cant go over 300$ so, I guess I'm cutting out some sets: 7036 -> 65$ (Seller In Korea) 7093 -> 43$ (Australian Seller) 7048 ->100$ (Belgium S.) 7018 -> 45$ (Germany S.) 6210 -> 125$ (USA S.) Total: 378$ Can someone please point me out to some cheaper sellers, I need em by tonight. All help is appreaciated. Edited April 15, 2008 by Belloq
