Lynx Posted September 9, 2015 Who is Unkar and why does he/she need thugs? Is Unkar a crime lord or a geographic area of Jakku? The official SW database contains some information about Ungkar's thugs: http://www.starwars.com/databank/unkar-s-thugs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darththeling Posted September 10, 2015 Thanks for the link, Lynx! The database was illuminating. Been reading a lot of posts suggesting that Rey's handbag is super easy to crack. I had the same thought when I'd opened mine... put it in a drawer for safe keeping. First time I saw one was in the Lone Ranger Constitution Train. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stelario Posted September 11, 2015 Price: 7/10 Should be ¥2000, cost ¥3000 plus tax. Way too much for a little set. Due to oil prices and the American dollar rising, 2015 became the year that LEGO wasn't worth the cost, here in Japan, and this set suffers for that. I don't know if you people know but first of all cheaper oil = cheaper ABS not opposite. Second of all LEGO is Danish and there is no factory in US only in Mexico, they don't use dollars there. So I don't really understand why merican currency will have anything to do with YEN prices. And remember that in US sets are the cheapest worldwide anyway, That's how they getting 30% more profit while rising sales by 18%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
def Posted September 12, 2015 Second of all LEGO is Danish LEGO is Danish? You're privy to inside knowledge the rest of us aren't, so I defer to your expertise. Wonder why sets cost more in Denmark than in America.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lanesteele240 Posted September 12, 2015 10 cents per peice seams to be the normal now. I guess the price increase is more evident in small sets Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rollermonkey Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) So... Can BB-8 fit inside the compartment inside the speeder if you take out the crate? I just finished mine, and I think the scale is pretty good. When seated, Rey's eyes are just barely above the windshield. I do wish there was a place to put her hair or turban when the other is on.

Vodnik Posted September 13, 2015 LEGO is Danish? You're privy to inside knowledge the rest of us aren't, so I defer to your expertise. Wonder why sets cost more in Denmark than in America.... Is it a joke or something?... Of course Lego is Danish. Prices in Europe are higher mostly because of much higher taxes, but also simply because toys are generally cheaper in the US, so to stay competitive in that market TLG have to adjust their pricing accordingly.

bjarvis Posted October 4, 2015 Its $35 in Australia ($840+ for all 7 ). Its still the only set I bought (though I'm close to buying Kylo Ren's ship [would get the Falcon as well but its $250 here, ouch). I think Rey's Speeder looks nice enough (haven't unboxed).

LegendaryArticuno Posted October 19, 2015 8/10 Set for me, I love it... except the sticker sheet which there is a lot for such a small set. I don't buy the increase in production cost, as the set is already marked up higher than normal and their making increased margins on the sale of these Force Awaken sets.
