SW Rebels has some interesting designs, but its interpretation of an OT TIE Fighter isn't one of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The number 40298 has appeared on Tesco's database along with GWP in the description, which I can only assume means Gift With Purchase. I have no dates or any other info on how it will work but as soon as I hear or see anything I will let you guys know. I would personally assume it will have something to do with the Solo releases or May 4th. Might be a promo pick up that was due to go to Toys'R'Us but has been giving to Tesco due to recent events. Definitely have to keep a close eye on this. Don't want to miss out as I never managed to get the shoretrooper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Getting those shore trooper polybags was absurdly difficult here. You had to pray that there were enough polybags for the whole county :| Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RetroInferno Posted March 18, 2018 If anyone was lukewarm about the 75205 cantina and didnt buy one it's now or never it seems. Toys R US are out of stock in the US, they are currently 20% off in Canada. It really seems it's gonna get discountinued fast, Raptor Escape remembers.

In Germany the set is only available at TRU & Shop@H. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RetroInferno Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) It's a Toys R Us exclusive yes, at least in the US and in Canada. They have a history of extremly short shelf life in a lot of cases, so I'd buy one now unless you want to pay double the MSRP in 2 weeks. It's also double VIP time on the online shop if you can't find anything better. Edited March 18, 2018 by RetroInferno Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joebiwankenobi Posted March 19, 2018 I doubt they are going to force retire the cantina just because TRU is going under. Regardless of the retailer, Lego still sells all exclusives through their own web-store. Unless someone's got direct confirm that TRU exclusives are getting axed, the notion is just wild speculation.

That'll be great if they pull it off well! Ucs R2 and BB are on the select shelf of kits my wife likes to have in the living room. A 'cute' set in the same vein would make an interesting addition, and be sure to be one of her favorites! As long as they make it look right...the pixelated look will be trickier to pull off than with the droids. Thanks for the heads up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s practically a reprint of the 2014 set with some differences. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The amount people charge for that sandtrooper in the 2014 cantina is obscenly high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
