What's your recent LEGO Star Wars Purchase?

[miles teg]

Even though I only collect OT sets, even I know that ^^ is a cracking bargain! I would've been tempted to pick up a PT set like that for that price!

I scour our local car boot every summer sundays, and I've never yet seen a star wars Lego set! I picked up a load of classic He Man figures one week last summer for 50p each and narrowly missed out on a Vader replica helmet ( me: "it's quite big, I'll pick it up on the way back to the car". Vendor promptly sells it to next person who comes along...doh!!!!) but I have yet to even see SW Legoat the 'boot : (

So we built the cantina at the weekend. What a great set. I particulary like how, as with Jabba's palace, the outside looks so good, as well as having a playable interior. I think it really has cross generational appeal. The realistic colours and detailing will please old Star Wars romantics like me. While the way the set opens up, almost like a Polly Pocket set Will please kids. And my son is convinced it includes a bantha. I don't know how he's even heard about banthas!!

75052 Mos Eisley Cantia

10236 Ewok Village

[Ki-Adi-Mundi]

I ordered:

75050 B-Wing Starfighter

75052 Mos Eisley Cantina

75055 Imperial Star Destroyer

Really happy to finally get them!

75052 - Mos Eisley Cantina

The set was 25 percent off and around 60 EUR for the set is a fair deal.

And we here in the U.S. get to watch our fellow LEGO fans across the pond enjoy the new sets.

Maybe I'm just a wee bit jealous.

Same. I can't wait for these sets. Just dying for the star destroyer

You guys may wait a little longer for release, but over there you seem to get Much better sales discounts and store reductions. The biggest reduction I've seen on a set here in the UK was a measly 20% on battlepacks!

I bought a 75014 Battle of Hoth. It has been off the shelves for some time now and secondary market prices have risen for this set, so I am actually happy getting it for the original, but expensive, €50 MSRP. (I also bought a Mixel and some parts, but that's not really SW-related.)

[kr-lik]

the sandcrawler.... and I like it quite a lot!

I purchased 75014 from Legoland Windsor last summer and I think it's a very nice set : ) the snowspeeder alone is a good little build, in fact my wife helped me build the set and actually admitted to enjoying herself !

[Darth Mallet]

Just finished building most of the summer wave : AT-AT, Star Destroyer, Cantina, Ghost and Phantom. The Ghost surprised me with how good it is and even though many seem to be unhappy with the Star Destroyer I actually think its great and bigger than I expected.

Good point. I will be patient and enjoy the better prices.

[fenderbender336]

Just bought the 2013 Republic Gunship (7502) and it looks great with my original RGS (7163). And yes I went through my dark ages so that's why I bought it so late haha!

[dolphins79]

The new sand crawler and ewok village!

[Mahtion]

9492 Tie Fighter, 9490 Droid Escape, 75025 Jedi Defender Class cruiser and 9500 Sith Fury class Interceptor

All of these to tie me over until Summer wave hits US stores. :)

Sith Fury was a great and fun build while Defender class was complicated but not as enjoyable.

Oh almost forgot 8017 Vaders Tie fighter and also 7657 AT-ST.

Now I need to MOD Vaders Tie in style of 9492!

[Farmer Harv]

Finally tracked down a 10134 Y Wing for a price I was willing to bear. Now all that's left is a 10179 MF and my UCS collection {Darth Vader Voice} will be complete.

Best Lego Star Wars purchase. Easy. 7662 MTT complete & boxed for £15 from a local car boot sale.

Yikes! I paid RRP for mine back when it came out, and I do think it was worth it, so you, sir, have just gotten the Lego bargain of the year!

Bought 75017 Geonosian Duel and 75025 Jedi Defender-Class Cruiser. The cruiser is a parts and minifig pack, and 75017 is primarily for the terrific Dooku minifig and to take advantage of a sale at the local Toys'R'Us.

What was the sale at Toysrus?

I've had my eye on that set for a few months. What, may I ask, did you end up shelling out for it?

It was $350 canuck bucks previously assembled but in excellent condition. I was getting ready to drop some bigger dollars on a MISB when this appeared locally, and common sense won out and I grabbed it immediately.

[Joakin]

I decided that The Ghost & The Phantom deserved to be at home, so I ordered them from Amazon UK

[kr-lik]

so... i found the 7662 MTT for about 120euros (no box tho) ... you guys think it's worth it ?

That's a steal.

I got Kashykk troopers and Republic troopers vs Sith troopers, mainly just to get the Retro Classic White Spaceman promo.
