roadstermatt Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 a load of figures & accessories of various e-bay sellers cheap ok some will be fake but they can bolster up the rear ranks of my armies Quote
Mendicant Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 I've gotten back into Lego Star Wars in a big way; over the last week I've purchased the Bounty Hunter Battle Pack, Darth Vader's Transformation, Phantom, Imperial Hovertank, Y-Wing, and Resistance X-Wing. I'm next going to go for the U-Wing, Rathar Escape, and Krennic's Shuttle. Quote
Spongebob456 Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 Purchased the Batman vs Superman Clash of Heroes set. Bidding on eBay for The Flying Dutchman's ship from the SpongeBob line at the moment. Quote
roadstermatt Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 well a chunk of my orders arrived I now own a Boushh & a Lando in Jabba's palace guard out fit both really cool and very happy with them also bolstered the snow trooper ranks with 5 more so now have 9 to attack my UCS Assault on Hoth set and brought some of the movie correct moulded weapons, I am really pleased with these as well, ok these aren't real TLG stuff but they look great I have Han's blaster, Rey's blaster Boba Fett's rifle and then some of the Snow trooper rifles and the storm trooper & rebel carbines and a clone trooper long rifle the really look good and finish of the look of the figures nicely Quote

Spongebob456 Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 OMG sorry guys. Meant to post in that thread. My sincere apologies. :S Quote
Mendicant Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 Picked up the U-Wing, Yoda's Jedi Starfighter, AT-ST, and the Rebels Medical Frigate! Really excited to build the frigate and making some modifications to the U-Wing. Quote

TWP Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) In the Netherlands they are doing a big sale on many sets of Rogue One and other sets too, discounts of at least 50-70% on sets. I asked the store manager and he said they were told by LEGO to clear shelves for Force Friday II. So I expect a lot of the sets to be retired soon too in other stores. Most of the sets are already out of stock btw (as expected). (Shops: Intertoys/Bart Smit/SpeelgoedNL and multiple smaller stores) Sets affected are: Battle of Takodana Carbon Freezing Room Encounter on Jakku FO battle pack (old one) All Rogue One and some TFA buildable figures (70%) Resistance Transport Kylo's Shuttle Clone Turbo Tank Krennic's Shuttle Rey's Speeder Kylo's Shuttle Tie Striker AT-ST Imperial Hovertank Captain Rex's AT-TE Eclipse Fighter Scout Trooper & Speeder Bike Poe's X-wing U-wing FO-TIE The Phantom Rebel Trooper Battle Pack Krennic Shuttle Microfighter Imperial trooper Battle Pack Couldn't resist these discounts, bought Krennic's shuttle (€53), Microfighter (€5), 7x Imperial trooper battle pack (€9), Scout Trooper & Speeder Bike (€18), Hovertank (€21), Carbon Freezing Room (€16) and got 2x free Jyn Erso Constraction with it. Wanted some more sets but most where already sold out :( Edited August 22, 2017 by TWP Quote
firefox Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 I bought alot of stuff in that dutch sale, will post full list later, it's very, very long . Quote
Nat Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 I've bricklinked a black Kylo Shuttle that's coming in the mail. Also just received a Shuttle Tyderium, and have a Resistance Troop Transporter coming. My first Lego purchase since I was a kid (and didn't buy them myself) was just recently the new A-Wing. This is after being sucked into Lego by an off brand that I think itsn't allowed to be discussed on here. I built a certain large and coveted set, and now I'm buying real Lego after a second set's quality disappointed me. And I'm leaking money like a sieve. Quote
roadstermatt Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 got a Jabba's sale barge 75020 & matching skiff 9496 no figures but nice builds Quote
bataleon Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 Impulse buy on a second Ewok Village, but it was $240 (AU$300). Used but mint condition. Not great when I should be starting to Bricklink UT-60D U-Wing... Quote
Commander_Rob Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 Buildable Figure Stormtrooper Commander. Pretty cool, though I think I like him better as a plain Stormtrooper. A good addition to my Star Wars bookshelf. Quote
Spongebob456 Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 I'll be more on topic this time lol. I just bought and built 75171 "The Battle on Scarif". Loved R1 - one of my favourite SW movies and this was a great set to build and look at. I'm now in the process of acquiring minifigs to fill up the space. Got Jyn Erso, Cassian Andor, Baze Malbus and Chirrut Imwe so far. Will likely Bricklink Bodhi and K2-SO as I'm not really interested in Krennic's Shuttle. Quote
Servertijd Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 Bought Kylo Ren(75139) with sword and helmet(new) for 6 euros..I found it a pretty good deal. Quote
Bley Harvest Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) I recently moved across the country so I haven't bought a new set in awhile. As part of my packing I meticulously disassembled all of my sets and have been slowly rebuilding them all summmer, but I missed that feeling of a new set - slicing the tape on the box, opening the numbered bags along with the instructions and sorting the extra pieces into my collection. I know TLJ sets are right around the corner, but I got impatient and on a whim purchased The Phantom 75170. I do watch SW Rebels and have a few of the sets, but I was primarily buying this one for the Thrawn and Blind Kanan minifigs. Even knowing that, this was one of the most disappointing sets I've bought in a long time. Not only is it barely passable as the ship from the show; it is overly reliant on stickers, the cockpit had no hinge, the landing gear doesn't line up, and the lasers are difficult to trigger. Blech! Apologies for the gripe fest; I wish I had something better to say about it. If you are on the fence I would avoid this one unless you really want the figs. I guess the BL prices for Thrawn and Kanan probably make it a wash if you get the set on sale like I did. Maybe I'll check out some alternate build videos.

I have the set and don't mind it too much, although it's far from perfect. It's not very elegant and the fin at the top should be much longer. I got it on sale too so I feel a little better. I do quite like as a display piece although I may dismantle it later. I won't be purchasing many, if any, of the TLJ sets (at least not this year) so I'll leave it assembled for now while I have the space. Quote
roadstermatt Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 just brought 2 cantinas one with figures one without and a jabbas palace with no figures other than jabba him self Quote
Japanbuilder Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Got 75175 x1. I like it, it even compares well with last year's A-Wing. Plus the moveable engine pods were removed. These ones won't move on you too much. IMG_6367 by Macster Tome, on Flickr IMG_6362 by Macster Tome, on Flickr IMG_6359 by Macster Tome, on Flickr Quote
