fire117 Posted December 26, 2017 Why is the new Cantina set not available to buy in Smyths in Ireland as when I look up the new Star Wars Lego sets on that site. The Cantina set isn't showing up and that's the only set I want? https://www.smythstoys.com/ie/en-ie/new-toys/lego-new-arrivals/c/new-lego-range?q=%3AieBestsellerRating%3Acategory%3ASM06010709&text= Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't shop online and there's no Toy R Us shops in Ireland. Lego sets shouldn't be exclusive to only some shops, they should available to buy in all shops. Otherwise what's the damn point! How am I meant to get the set for my nephew's birthday than? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just order online..? I think a company which produces toys can always decide which way they want to sell certain sets. From my point of view exclusives are a good move to get higher interest (and traffic and demand) for the chosen channel.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I was told, no refunds. So I won't be ordering online under any circumstances whatsoever. What about the customer is always right. I'm a customer and I want All Lego sets available to buy everywhere, all this exclusive crap does is create bad feelings and it needs to end! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falconfan1414 Posted December 26, 2017 So it turns out we have seen Thandie Newton’s character from the solo sets. It was thought to be shuri from infinity war but Jason Ward on Twitter confirmed the minifigure to be Thandie Newton’s character Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry about your past experience online but anyone who has ever worked retail knows that line is a load. It is doubtful Lego is going to change their stance on exclusives so you might as well figure out how important those sets are to you. It is also crazy that Dublin doesn’t have a Lego store!

Meatcan Posted December 26, 2017 (edited) For the first time in a long time I found a LEGO Star Wars set on the shelfs that I have never heard about . Probably because the legoleaks reddit hasn't been updated in a while. Any tips on new news spots? Did anybody else not know about the destroyed AT-ST piloted by BB-8 already being sold?

I done a business course in college, so I know that line the customer is always right is the truth and my older sister Anna worked in retail for a decade, she believes the customer is always right as well, as a happy customer is a loyal customer. Well they should change this stance as it's a load of crap. Now that you mention it, why doesn't Dublin have a Lego store yet. My older sister Anna think's it's deliberate to snub Ireland.

I have neither a Lego store or a Toys R Us within 100 miles of me so I have to order the exclusives online and I can happily say that whilst I will never order from Toys R Us again, I have always found my experience of ordering from Lego SAH to be positive. I would give them a chance; they have always sorted any problems swiftly and professionally if they have arisen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless you fancied driving up to Lisburn to get it from Toys R Us there then unfortunately not. It’s a pity there’s no Lego store in Dublin since I was looking to pick up the UCS Falcon for Christmas somewhere since it was out of stock (mind you it’s more expensive in Euro too). I can’t wait to pick up the new X-wing, not too keen on the sandcrawler though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have an older brother goes to Glasgow a lot, could ask him to get the Cantina set for me next time he goes over there on a weekend trip and give him the money for the set.

News on this has been out a couple of weeks, and the existence of the set has been known about for months - but there were absolutely no leaks on it and its sudden arrival on shelves did take everyone by surprise.

Forresto Posted December 27, 2017 The higher res leak pic of the X-Wing looks pretty good. As someone who loves the design but not enough to ever own a model, this maybe what changes my mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seaber Posted December 27, 2017 That yellow droid in the Sandcrawler set. Anyone think it's the yellow R5 unit (R5-A4) that passes in front of the camera just before the 'these aren't the droids you're looking for' scene? The white and green R2 unit from the US Sandcrawler is from the same scene, but it was replaced with a Ronto in the newer editions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Full orange head and orange panel markings. This Droid has a yellow body and white head. I was hoping the same thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
