benderisgreat Posted June 12, 2017 So it seems every set except for Gorilla At-at and smallest 30$ speeder are overpriced! And Kylo's Tie is 80$ for 630 pcs, the TIE's are usually 70$?! Is every set based on new movie will be overpriced going forward? I mean most of summer sets are pretty good value. Overall really disappointed in the price/part ratio!

benderisgreat Posted June 12, 2017 Just now, Sir von Lego said: wouldn't say that. Normally you get a worse price-to-piece-ratio for TIEs. BB-8 isn't overpriced, too. So to summarize I would say WAY better than E VII... Both FO Tie and Tie Striker were around 550pcs and were sold for 70$, new one is 630 for 80$. No that great of a deal either, but I guess they really wanted to make it 10$ more expensive for old Luke minifigure! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaderFan2187 Posted June 12, 2017 @benderisgreat he's seen the sets, maybe they look large but with low piece count :) 33 minutes ago, Sir von Lego said: all these unknown 4 are Constraction Figures. 2 with helmet, 1 human being, one Alien species. Hmm... Snoke is NOT one of them right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That Orange Thing Posted June 12, 2017 (edited) I'm sorry, but that figure looks like a fan made figure at best and what's with everyone being so angry in the Star Wars universe? Did some work experience kid accidentally set the angry clone head production to 1 million many years a go and now we're stuck with those hideous things forever?

Overall really disappointed in the price/part ratio! SW sets are overpriced. Full stop. I don't care anymore just be good-looking. That gorilla walker looks really lackluster compared to the newly leaked photos of the real deal. That is a bigger problem for me. We should be happy about the BB-8 being fairly well-priced, if it indeed looks good enough. Edited June 12, 2017 by brobert Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crzypengu Posted June 12, 2017 So will the BB8 set be released September 1st or will it be sold as a d2c set later in the year? If BB8 was sold in September as a UCS set then it would be very strange to have the UCS Falcon to be released the next month, or at least around the 15th of september for VIP Members.

There is no list, but I have had numerous reports for using the word hell in the past. For most of us it might not be such a big deal, but for some it might be. And there's no harm in using a different word. Or simply saying "no way" instead of "no way in hell". If we all start using words like that, it will turn nasty very soon. No big deal, just pay a little attention to your language Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
