Sneakguest Posted December 17, 2016 They have all sets on a 30 % discount on BR in Sweden the whole weekend, but they don't have any sets in stock on internet yet, hope they get something before sunday ends! I really want that Moroff but I refuse to pay full lego price for new sets... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RetroInferno Posted December 17, 2016 Looks like NA is getting jack until march... We don't even know the pricing for US-CAN... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StarWars8Spoiler Posted December 17, 2016 Again with the 2 month delay on the NA release? That's the second year in a row. What the hell is LEGO doing that for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least last time they did it they had the new film stuff like Tacky Dacky and the Resistance Troop Transport. Seems like we're not getting the Rogue One stuff early. :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forresto Posted December 17, 2016 The two month delay isnt as bad as what happened last year. We didnt even get half the sets until four months after. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StarWars8Spoiler Posted December 17, 2016 I guess I'll be ordering all these online. I already got my hands on The Phantom, just need the rest now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CF Mitch Posted December 17, 2016 12 hours ago, Wout said: They had this sort of discounts before. It's most of the time below 15%, but they give higher "normal" prices so it looks better. For instance the Sw Battle packs were two months ago E 15,99 now they are for sale from E 17,99 for E 15,29. An official consuming organisation already comments on this and said toyshops do that next year can get get a fine. Ugh, I keep forgetting about the raised 'normal' prices, damnit Also, about Thrawn, I'm considering adding yellow epaullettes (spellcheck?) to make him slightly more accurate.

Lobot Posted December 17, 2016 13 hours ago, Forresto said: Anyone have any ideas on how to add yellow pips to Thrawn's rank badge? I was thinking of maybe cutting the yellow sticker that comes with the Phantom and carefully putting them on the necessary three pips. Please can we keep this thread specifically for 2017 sets and rumours - this isn't really on topic, thanks I was Rogue One yesterday, and it didn't disappoint.  Without giving any of the plot away there's plenty of material for TLG to work from and the current new sets are good reflections of the film models etc; I think that mortesv will enjoy some of the closing scenes especially!  There were also some nice little moments that OT fans will enjoy - and several other interesting touches that you'll need to look out for.  There's a couple of characters that I'd seen in LEGO form which only make very brief appearances in the film; and conversely others that haven't been made that should be!  Hopefully they'll appear later this year.

Hoth Rebel Posted December 17, 2016 Just build the 75171 Battle on Scarif. Like the idea of the set and the platform (all stickers btw), but a bigger platform would have been nice. Anyway here are some pics (not the best quality but my camera doesn't do what I want and I don't have a photo box thingie):    Forgot to put the orange crate on the pictures, but it's the same as in the Hover Tank set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathstroke77 Posted December 17, 2016 That's a neat set. but its price point is ridiculous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supersonic Posted December 17, 2016 1 hour ago, Deathstroke77 said: That's a neat set. but its price point is ridiculous. Agreed - it has one fig less than Takodana which was already on the pricey side. Still, looks like one to pick up with some discount because Shoretroopers! I also agree with @Lobot, after seeing the movie, that there's still plenty to work with for TLG - mostly big ships seen in the trailers, but another T-65 X-Wing wouldn't hurt. The 2012 looks painfully outdated next to the amazing TFA one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YellowCorvette Posted December 17, 2016 1 hour ago, Deathstroke77 said: That's a neat set. but its price point is ridiculous. I agree. The set looks pretty good and accurate for its size, but the price tag can be a big turn-off for many peoples. It's pretty much the same reason why I didn't get the Takodana set. I see little to no logical reason for the price tag to be that high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoth Rebel Posted December 17, 2016 Yea true it isn't worth RRP. I got a gift card and 15% off so it only cost me 35€. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I called to one store today and they said that the launch the sets on monday, so yes, the sale is probably to clear the shelves. So I guess the only choice then I have is the lego store. I gonna see R1 in three hours and have to build that Y-Wing when I get home. But at least lego store has double VIP's the A-wing pilot and Gingerbread guy as a bonus if you buy and the legostore is on my tramline, so no hustle to pass in on way to town ;)Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forresto Posted December 17, 2016 They should've just gone and made it closer to its actual scale without trying to make it so it would fit the Ghost. The end result of that looks absolutely dreadful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know what the designers were thinking when they made it possible to attach to Ghost even if the scale is totally off... was it just coincidence that it fits?
