donbarca Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 so i would be kind a stupid to pick it up next week Quote
Darth Nader Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 so i would be kind a stupid to pick it up next week Not at all, it's a great set so it's not stupid to get it as soon as possible. But if you wait until may the fourth, when you can probably get it on sale, then I'd say wait. If I had lots of money at the moment I'd get it right now. Quote
donbarca Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 yeah! however it seems like there is usually not an all over sale on may the 4th at least here in denmark it is only a list of sets with 10% discount and one or two sets with 20-50% not sure what the chance of ewok village getting on sale for this.

That's usually the case in the US as well. Small discount, couple sets heavily discounted, free shipping, and a promo item. Usually the heavily discounted sets are not recently released ones, unless they're selling poorly. (I think the UCS Delta-7 was one of the more heavily discounted items a few months after its release.) Quote
arc Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 where did this elusive red vader helmet come from? was it some kind of prototype? Quote
Faefrost Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 where did this elusive red vader helmet come from? was it some kind of prototype? Strange red parts are typically test parts. Such as for mold testing etc. they often get out of the factories either legitimately or otherwise. Quote
ChiefPie Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) Do you think they may do a lego phase 2 commander wolffe when they bring out the bonus CW episodes? Edited January 21, 2014 by ChiefPie Quote

Woot 2014 I'm no mod, but I'm not sure that belongs here. probably better for the 2014 star wars discussion thread. Edited January 21, 2014 by arc Quote

So, I'm assuming that you posted a pointless, off-topic, short comment, like the ones you've already been told not to post, and then when called out you replaced it with something just as off-topic. You've been warned about this before, so let me remind you: EB is a site for AFOLs, and we expect a mature level of discussion. We don't expect perfection, but we don't tolerate laziness. Short, pointless, spam-esque posts have no place on EB, and discussion of minifigs you want belongs in Most Wanted Star Wars characters. Quote
Only Sinner Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Hey guys. I'm wondering if I should order the old (but new and sealed) Slave I 8097 in the $120-150 range or if I'm better off waiting and hoping for a new release. I've heard the UCS Slave I rumors, and that would be an instant purchase for me, but I'm not sure if I want to keep waiting for something that I'm not certain will come. The way I see it, a wave with a healthy amount of OT like Summer 2014 will be followed by a wave that favours PT/EU. As Episode VII gets closer to release, I imagine that the year before will be full of its sets while OT/PT stuff is put aside. Also, if they have plans to put out a new version of Jango's Slave I, I don't think they would release Boba's any time too close. So what do you think? Will we get to see another minifig scale Slave I or should I go ahead and buy what I missed out on? I have also considered getting the 2010 version for about $100. I think I might hold off for a newer one, though as I don't think the pieces are worth it for that high a price, and the colors are a little off. If you can get a used one for a reasonable price, I would definately do that. Tha SW liscence will be with us for a looong time still, so no doubt we will eventually get a new and much improved Slave-1. Why has Lego not made a Jedi temple yet? By son started a pretty good concept, which would be a good starting point. It would be cool to see a TOR version of the Jedi Temple at the invasion of Coruscant. Why not do it that way? Quote

Such as for mold testing etc. they often get out of the factories either legitimately or otherwise. I may be wrong, but I thought I heard that the red test helmet accidentally appeared in a few sets instead of the correct black version. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Why has Lego not made a Jedi temple yet? By son started a pretty good concept, which would be a good starting point. It would include a lot of rare named characters and have pretty much no play features. TLG won't make a set like that, we just have to make our own. Would you prefer the version where everyone is sitting around on couches doing nothing? Or the version where they are massacring all the children? I forgot about that one, I don't think they'd make that version either! What about the one from TCW were it is attacked by a suicide bomber? What chance do we have of ever getting the separatist base on mustafar with the separatist leaders or even padmes star skiff for that matter? Because that is my favourite scene in the entire film and the separatist base could have the tables where obi wan and anakin fight, so never say never or what? We have the Future Star Wars Sets topic for this type of discussion, even if they're phrased as questions. General Questions is for the little questions that have nowhere else to go. Moving......and done. Quote

I recommend this to you as well, and NOT because it might be cheaper. Just look at the colors! The S1 is a worn out ship made of metal. The paint has never be so intense as it is with the 8097. Basically both are the same ship with almost similar build, except the area where the paddle goes into the ship. I personally dont like that big round parts much. But i like the sandgreen, its the idea color for a S1. Just have a look at Anio's UCS S1... Regading the figs: I keep the old (but new) one and bought an actual Bobba from the Desert Skiff. I got a Han in Carbonite thos way as well. A MISB 6209, Boba and Han cost me total about 80€ includig shipment. A 8097 cost here about 100€ MISB, but is still have the intense green and red which dont fit to the S1 (my opinion). Dino Quote
Gremer Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Are all of the 2014 Winter sets to be delayed for the States, or just some of them? Quote
ChiefPie Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Are all of the 2014 Winter sets to be delayed for the States, or just some of them? I think all of them. Since the lego movie is coming out February they decided to delay Star Wars sets in ordered to release The Lego Movie sets. Quote
Kelso Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 There is a 18% discount on the LEGO Gold Leader's Y-wing - 9495 making it 49,99 euro. I have had my eye on this set for a while now and i'm trying to decide if I should buy it or not. What would you guys do ? (I am a rebel set fan) Quote
Obi-wan Kenobi Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Hello guys I have to make up my mind.I think that I will buy 75037,Jedi Intercepor,but i´m not sure at all.I love that set because of it´s perfectly accurate to the real ship,but it´s a little over priced. Also,I cannot decide between this and the General Grievous Wheel Bike.What would you do If you were I? Quote
ChiefPie Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I think all of them. Since the lego movie is coming out February they decided to delay Star Wars sets in ordered to release The Lego Movie sets. Also you can get some of the new sets in Toys R US only in their shop can't ship it. Quote

Neither are that spectacular IMO, so I'm basing mine off of the figures. Quote

Phoib Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 What is the big deal with specific "phase 2" clone troopers, such as Fox or Wolf? Were they released before as a phase 1, why are they special? Quote
Brickdoctor Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 What is the big deal with specific "phase 2" clone troopers, such as Fox or Wolf? Were they released before as a phase 1, why are they special? I'm fairly certain that it's just a result of some FOLs wanting every major version of all the clones. Quote
korpen4444 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I'm fairly certain that it's just a result of some FOLs wanting every major version of all the clones. That and I don't have Fox or Wolffe. Plus, phase 2 Wolffepack troopers were recently released, but no phase 2 Wolffe. People are disappointed that they'll have to use a phase 1 commander Wolffe to command their phase 2 clones. Quote
