ADHO15 Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 (edited) The mini sets are being given away by the mirror in the uk http://www.mirror.co.uk/lego/toys/ This does belong in the 'Star Wars sets anyone?' thread, as it's info related to availability, but I don't care! Thank you so much for this information! I don't normally get the Mirror, but it looks like I'll be getting it this weekend. Thanks stan! Edited September 3, 2009 by ADHO15 Quote
Big Cam Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Hey guys,hope that's the right thread to post this. One more high quality picture of the visual dictionary is now online on star wars.com: http://www.starwars.com/vault/books/news20090902/index.html You can see the Imperial Star Destroyer with all minifigs and details of the ship. Thanks for that pic, I can't wait to buy this. Quote
Faramir Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 They even took Tantive IV off? They probably knew they were being acessed and got them off. Tantive IV is comming out in a few day for us Americans. Just more proof that Lego is trying to keep everything a secret now. Actually... no The guy on the last page was right, Tantive just got bumped back to Oct 23 last night... Someone needs to schedule a town hall meeting with TLC Quote
Paulego Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 I was sad because i like these and thought i wouldn't be able to get them but http://www.jedinews.co.uk/ has news that these are part of a UK Newspaper offer starting Saturday including three more sets which i've wanted, a collectors box, stickers and a poster. I'll be out to the newsagents all next week! Quote

Penitent Tangent Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 (edited) A little off topic, but I wasn't entirely sure where to put this. The game Clone Wars: Republic Heroes reveales Cad Bane's custom ship, 'the Sleight of Hand' :) I thought it was pretty cool, and would make an interesting Lego set. Considering his role in the new series, I find it odd that he doesn't appear to be in any of the sets, I think this would have made more sense than another Grievous starfighter.

Sorry, i'm a mod on a Star Wars site myself and i know how easy it is for fans to jump in if you think another site they frequent has not heard good news, i should have had a better look than i did. Again sorry. Quote

Klaus-Dieter Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Here you go, then.Tantive IV - part 1 Tantive IV - part 2 Thank you very much, yellost! The engines and the exterior of the Tantive 4 look awesome and very realistic. Nevertheless it's a pity that they didn't include the hallway - e. g. instead of including the (room for the) transport vehicle and/or the second escape pod. The interior of Leia's office looks great - but why didn't they include real chairs?! The interior of the cockpit looks much better than I expected! Klaus-Dieter Quote
The Rancor Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 I'm not missing Saturday's, Sunday's and Tuesday's Daily Mirrors. It's alright - I still know someone who'll get the promos for me! Quote

Mission Commander Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 the Tantive IV is ready to buy at S@H!!!d Quote

JCC1004 Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 (edited) I ready the news on Brickset. It's sad these will be Daily Mirror exclusives. I really wanted those. BL prices will be too high aswell. I could care less about the city ones. Oh well. Here;s a message to anyone who can't get these sets including myself: They look awful. If you buy multiples the price will add up. Edited September 5, 2009 by JCC1004 Quote
roxio Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Agreed. I ready the news on Brickset. It's sad these will be Daily Mirror exclusives. I really wanted those. BL prices will be too high aswell.

Here's a message to anyone who can get these sets including myself. They are brilliant. The daily Mirror is what ? 30p ? If you buy multiples the (resale ) value will add up Quote
RocketClone Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 So we wont be seeing these in the USA? aww Quote
Tyleraf Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 I've still have my fingers crossed that they will be at target around christmas. Quote
Derek Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 I've still have my fingers crossed that they will be at target around christmas. So am I. It seemed like the Mini's sold really well around Easter time, I'm sure these would sell like hotcakes. And I hope Lego realizes this and makes enough if they end up producing them for Target...

Stash2Sixx Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 JCC1004... Your post makes absolutely no sense at all! You already voiced your displeasure in these sets with no reasoning other than the words 'awful' and 'lame.' Once is enough. Telling me the exact same thing twice looks like spamming to me. But then you contradict yourself and say that you "serious like these." What? Stop, think, type, use grammar, preview and reread, and then post. I am watching all of you. Quote
Darth Legolas Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Agreed. I ready the news on Brickset. It's sad these will be Daily Mirror exclusives. I really wanted those. BL prices will be too high aswell. I could care less about the city ones. Oh well. Here;s a message to anyone who can't get these sets including myself: They look awful. If you buy multiples the price will add up. He was Talking about the Tantive IV... not the Exclusives... They are not brilliant or anything else. They are lame. I serious like these. Lego always does things like this. I don't get it. Oh well now ON TOPIC: The mini's better sell in USA for Christmas or Halloween! Lego's giving all those sets out for free in the UK, while I'm stacking up my wallet. Lego, if you're reading this, I'm willing to buy these all up front! I just won't buy them on Bricklink! Shipping would be about the same as the sets! Also note, guys, we are asking for them to be Target exclusives in the U.S. while they're ToysRus exclusives in Europe? I don't exactly get how that works, then again the V-19 and Grievous's fighter came to ToysRus... so they could come up anywhere! But please, I hope it won't be WallMart. The one near me decided to have the worst toy selection in history! Quote
Stash2Sixx Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 I have never seen Walmart exclusives....except maybe that Jango Fett Slave I with the black storage case? Someone remind me on this one.... With the promotional items, it's very rare that we get to see them anywhere other than their intitial release location, except of course Bricklink. But, I guess you can always hope. Quote

But, I guess you can always hope. This just in! Maybe we will be getting the Mini Exclusives, non-exclusively in the U.S., seeing as the V-19 Torrent Mini popped up right here: Link! I wonder why this only though. It's $4-5 and probably more with shipping! I know this is in the wrong place, but this seems to be the only topic people will look at for news... I wonder if we'll start seeing others? Quote

I completely contradicted myself. Quote
