What's your recent LEGO Star Wars Purchase?

Recommended Posts

Not so much a purchase, but two days ago I received a Darth Revan polybag from a trade.

After a year of searching, I finally have it! Wonderful figure. :classic:

Broke down and bought a used 10179 MF... bank balance is ZERO. :(

How much did you pay it? If I may ask :classic:

New it has a prohibitive cost ( In Europe I saw it sold between 3000 and up to 5000€ )

Anyway, happy building. It's one of the most sought after and admired sets ever produced :classic:

Paid €2600 for a 2nd hand set... :sick: (please don't faint, guys...)

I actually wanted to BrickLink it but since I got a small payout from some investments, I must as well bite the bullet and get one as I told myself that if I don't get it now, I don't think I will ever get it in the future...

After a year long hiatus from Star Wars sets I came back with full force recently and got Jabba's Sail Barge, General Grievous' Wheel Bike, the MTT, an Imperial Troop Transport, and the Death Star Final Duel. All of them are awesome sets and reminded me of how much I love LEGO Star Wars. :sweet: The Death Star Final Duel is such an amazing set. I've got to say that it's probably one of the best Star Wars sets out there. If you don't have it, I'd definitely recommend getting it (or you could wait a while since I bet it'll go on sale for $70 or $60 in the near future).

Got the Sandcrawler and the Slave-1 in spring this year. Loved both of them. The Sandcrawler is a real treat and the Slave-1 looks great.

I'll skip the UCS Tie - I don't really like the design ...

I hope to get some new information about the upcoming UCS sets soon ... getting nervous without something to build ....

Edit:

I still got the Super Star Destroyer unopened in the attic .... nearly forgot that .... I'll probably start to build that one if I can't wait any longer ....

Today I got the 75036 Utapau Troopers for $9 at Wal-Mart. But, before that I ended breaking down and getting 75078 Imperial Troop Transport (at regular price).

All this talk of the Hoth base led me to pick up the Snowspeeder.

Got it for £19.99 from Argos which is a bargain considering Amazon are charging £29.88.

3x AT-DP Minis. Going to keep one as a Mini, and convert two of them into Minifig-Scale Imperial AT-RTs. They're just about the right size, and can be rebuilt with very little modification. In LDD I got pretty close without even using extra parts.

9495 Y-Wing

9499 Gungan Sub

7962 is a great set, and I'm quite surprised that it didn't do well. It has a nice selection of minifigures and is really fun to build. I picked up mine when it was 50% off from Amazon a few years ago and it was a total bargain. I'm hoping that I did quite well today, as I've reserved a UCS X-Wing from Argos at 40% off. It's not being delivered into store until next week so there's always a chance it may be cancelled, but they've always been very good in the past :classic:

I tried to get the AT AT (75054) at Argos but have been defeated by crappy customer service.

Their website says its in stock and available for home delivery for the bargain price of £57.99 yet I can't order it to my region (wtf is that about? The UK is tiny...) and they can't tell me which stores have it in stock.

So despite me having money to spend on their products, I can't actually buy it as they have no way of knowing where the stock is.

Damn that is a sweet price! I am quite pleased with it, only thing I didn't like is how the whole side opens instead of just the lower half of the body. If you can, pick it up somehow!

Well it's actually the value it has on the market from what I know. Recently a new UCS Falcon was sold for more than 5000€.

Happy building, I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun with it :classic:

I thought that your bank balance is zero ;)

And to stay on topic: today I got the Grievous' Wheel Bike and some minifigs from BL (10 battle droids, 5 commando droids, one clone trooper and Plo Koon).
