BrickBob Studpants Posted September 1, 2018 Gah, why do TLJ haters always have to be so obnoxious, this thread is about the sets, go haunt the film thread with your negative presence B2T: that's quite a nice price for the Porg, can't wait to get it I wonder why it's released now rather than along with the rest of the summer sets, maybe because it serves as a replacement of sorts for the cancelled constraction figures?

Which 2018 set would you say is the second best? Which of the new sets do you think would be a good Day 1 purchase? Which of the new minifigs is the best out of all of them and ... what's the one set from this wave you think was missing and should have been included? 3 hours ago, Lego-Freak said: B2T: that's quite a nice price for the Porg, can't wait to get it I wonder why it's released now rather than along with the rest of the summer sets, maybe because it serves as a replacement of sorts for the cancelled constraction figures? Can't see buying the Porg and displaying it as such... it looks a bit like nightmare fuel, but it has great parts. It might be useful in expanding Cloud City. Is anyone planning on buying several Porg and having... a Porg party? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look, I didn’t like TLJ either, but it’s produced some great Lego sets and has potential for quite a bit more which is what this thread is about. Visually, it looked great throughout the film and that’s where the excellent potential for great sets comes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tusserte Posted September 1, 2018 Just saw the LEGO store calendar for October. It's a $50 Star Wars purchase, not $35 :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah, well, just keep in mind it's Brick Friday the month after that. They do like to space out their promotions... In all seriousness, though, I guess it's not a terrible deal for people who are really into collecting specific figures. I mean, it's going for $20 on eBay now, which means that the third party price should drop substantially next month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you really want to get into an argument over how TLG words their promotions, then this is not the place to do it. There has been entirely too much crap in this thread. If you don't know what I'm talking about, read over the last 10 pages! If you have a problem with someone, report it, let the mods sort it out. No more handling these things on your own, it causes too much clutter. No one here is the Batman of the forums. Act like Batman and you'll visit the Mods for a lil special time. If you guys, and girls, choose to express your opinions, then this is the place to do it. Just know that your opinions can go against someone else's and disagreements might happen. Act mature people, act as if you all know what to do in here. Otherwise, I've got no problem locking this up if it turns into a personal battleground. Thank you.

When I go on the US site it shows $50 as the price, but when downloaded it says $35 in the PDF version. I wonder if the price point for the GWP was changed, but they didn't update the thumbnail (or vice versa, and the PDF version is wrong). On the Canadian version (well, the French Canadian version), there is no mention of the GWP at all. But we can be sure it isn't the EU version, because it wouldn't be in dollars. As for whether it's "free". It is. They choose to give it to you with no additional payment when they receive your custom. You have the choice about whether you want to buy the Lego or not. It's how pretty much every GWP has worked. Edited September 1, 2018 by nikhkin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CF Mitch Posted September 1, 2018 Regarding the Han Solo Mudtrooper.. does that also go for purchases at S@Hfrom, say, the Netherlands, or really only in US Stores? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brikkyy13 Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) The calendar mentions a microfighter launcher, anybody have more info on that? Edited September 1, 2018 by Brikkyy13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Normally they have a section where you can build a model and send it down a ramp. It's probably a Star Wars themed version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the Solo wave had enough Han’s already so I would have wished for something else instead. But appreciate a new colour of his hair. Let’s hope it will be the same promo in EU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robin_IV Posted September 2, 2018 I just read a text in a Star Wars Encyclopedia about the Mud troopers before I opened this post. They also mentioned Han Solo. It's quite interesting that there will be a Han Solo Mudtrooper. It's a pity that he has no helmet. On his stand there is a pin. Will there maybe come more Star Wars Special Minifigs in the next month? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
