LEGOscum Posted August 1, 2008 We usually get our US Target exclusives by... sprinting across the border. I love it - you sound like a retail coyote bringing back SW LEGO instead of cheap labour ;) Jeremy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dovchenko Posted August 1, 2008 Hahaha! I'm lucky, my Wal-mart is right across from Target! DSR Very cool. Look at it this way... if Wal-Mart's under par again with pricing or the sets in particular... go complain to them than Target RIGHT ACROSS the street has better prices. You can go ahead and lie, too. It's not like they'll remember your face, you being one of a zillion customers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CloneMe Posted August 1, 2008 Hey all, I was just wondering how many bags of peices are in the new AT-TE. I found one on ebay but am not sure if it has all the bags. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBrickHitHouse Posted August 1, 2008 Fighter tank is a stunning set - finally as Brits get a set first A bit of compensation for the fact we pay twice as much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Virar Posted August 1, 2008 Hey all, I was just wondering how many bags of peices are in the new AT-TE. I found one on ebay but am not sure if it has all the bags. Thanks.

Trudop561 Posted August 1, 2008 I'm angry. My local Renaud-Bray store was supposed to receive the new republic gunship today but no, they said me "We will receive it during the week". I'm waiting since December to buy it and thousands of people already have it. Do you have problems too to find/buy a new CW lego? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derek Posted August 1, 2008 Why don't you just try a different store. I'm sure they are bound to be somewhere else, considering the demand and popularity. And why is this topic called "problems with lego commands"? What do you mean by command? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimBee Posted August 1, 2008 The TX-130S Fighter Tank isn't released here in the U.S, that I know of, and I haven't seen or heard of the DGS in any of my local stores. The RGS, AT-TE, MagnaGaurd Fighter, V-19 Torrent, Twilight, and HSD all have been released in TRU stores. I think the DGS and Tank will be released in October.

tin7_creations Posted August 1, 2008 None of these sets are available in Canada at all, I consider all of you very lucky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justin2224 Posted August 1, 2008 I saw the DGS yesterday in a US Wal Mart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iron Moose Posted August 1, 2008 Commandes is (at least) Quebec-French for 'orders'. In other news, I've seen the Homing Spider Droid and the Twilight at an Ottawa-area TRU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trudop561 Posted August 1, 2008 Why don't you just try a different store. I'm sure they are bound to be somewhere else, considering the demand and popularity. And why is this topic called "problems with lego commands"? What do you mean by command? Because I have a 10$ gift card for this store and if I go to another, I will have to spend 10$ more. And I'm not an adult, I have several restrictions concerning my money. Because some stores that are selling Lego receive them later than others. They were supposed to receive it today but it seems there is a delay. None of these sets are available in Canada at all, I consider all of you very lucky. No, they're available at some stores but in a couple of weeks, they'll be available everywhere. For example, I saw the AT-TE Walker and the magnaguard starfighter at a La Baie store this week-end.

Iron Moose Posted August 2, 2008 (edited) To the best of my knowledge, Renaud Bray is a chain, and a gift card for one store is accepted at any of them. Don't take my word for it, though - call and ask. That being said, don't trust them on inventory. Just go back next weekend and see if it's there then.

swsmailman Posted August 2, 2008 Well, I went to my local TRU in Texas to see if they had the new spider droid and gunship, well actually they had like 5 gunships but sadly no spider droids, But 1 set did catch my eye, its the 6212 X-Wing fighter, I just had to have it, I did notice that the minifig faces were a little older looking unlike the newer and more animated ones now, so I though I would research it and see what I could find out about this set. Well according to Lego.com this set is not available in the United States so um then why did I find it? oh and I did get the only one that the TRU had. Was it just pure luck that they had this set or what? oh and yes I did open and build this set. which was pretty fun to build. anyone know anything else?

Dovchenko Posted August 2, 2008 It is a 2-year old set which has just been re-released for no known reason. It is a very special set... it can be changed into one of two fighters (Luke's and some other guy's). As you said it also comes with loads of the main character figs. In 2006 many "Battle of Yavin" sets were released, such as a minifig-scale Star Destroyer, an A-Wing and B-Wing, as well as a Tie Interceptor. However, the X-Wing was included that year as a special edition. The previous year came with a Tie Fighter including a very special LUL Darth Vader with a Tie Pilot... could be great to add opposition if you're willing to Bricklink it. As well, the Tie Collection would add a great chunk of Imperial Fighters to your collection, including Vader's Tie Advanced as a leader for the Imperials (while Luke could be a hero for the Rebels). As well, it sold out almost instantly from what I here... it was an instant hit. Their only reason for re-releasing it would probably be to add Original Trilogy sets to the mix (as well as the hoth base). After all, they've got to advertise SOMETHING.

swsmailman Posted August 2, 2008 well that helped me out, and yea there was 1 hoth base at TRU, i thought about getting it but i liked the x-wing a whole lot better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skipper 24 Posted August 2, 2008 They still sell that X-Wing in the UK, I don't think they ever stopped selling it actually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stampede_dude Posted August 2, 2008 I only own 6212, but in my opinion the X-Wing is a much more pleasing build. The features and displayability are better than the Hoth Base IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KimT Posted August 2, 2008 Buy/sell/trade again. This does not belong here. Perhaps we should have a thread dedicated solely for the hunting of SW sets. I'll think about it. In the meantime, please remember that this site is worldwide and it might not bother a Bulgarian or African wether a set is available in the US or not.
