2004/2005 Hunting Star Wars Sets and availability

[Vader]

Only Argos store have them.

[sam89]

Yeah, you can get it at Argos Stores, but no where else.

[The Middleman]

Gracias, kind senors. I'll see if my dad can make a little side trip before hitting the airport. :)

Well having a strong euro is great, but it sucks for exports. Bush economical policy is good (by this I mean it can be justifyed logically), but dangerous if it continues like this too long.

Fortunatly, european market is big so we can still exchange between our countries. Except UK and Danemark of cause *satis*

Im just curious to know the position of UK people here. Would you mind switching from pound to euros ? :o

[pionneer]

Jipay, that is a can of worms that you probably shouldnt open.

Personally I say no to the EURO and will never vote for it. >:(

Anyhow I nearly purchased the arc fighter but turned it down for the new TIE and Vader. Classic SW Lego is the best and IO couldnt resist the new Vader.

[Jipay]

Well I anderstood many people in UK are opposed to the currency, but I don't get the "why not". it"s not about launching a debat, its about anderstanding the why.

[Sarg_Kulo]

I reckon EUROs will come to the UK in the next ten years. But seriously I like how UK is different, what with miles, pounds and everything

[Jipay]

And driving :-D

[Sarg_Kulo]

O yeah, and driving :-D

Anyway, back to the ARC 170. Don't you think that the massive gap in between the two asers is a bit stupid, of course thats not lego's fault but I just think it would be real hard to hit the enemy with laser that far apart :/

[The Middleman]

Maybe it targets large targets. Maybe it uses its back laser/cockpit for small targets and front cockpits/lasers for the large ships. Who knows?

[Sarg_Kulo]

Imagine playing Rogue Squadron with the lasers like that, they just wouldn't get close enough to hit the ties or anything. (yeah I do know the star wars timetable ;) )

[Sarg_Kulo]

Hey, I just thought, Republic Commando and all those sets...on the same day, wow, what a great day its gonna be :-D

[Orlego]

Hey, I just thought, Republic Commando and all those sets...on the same day, wow, what a great day its gonna be :-D

And a expensive day ;)

[Jipay]

Definitly an expensive day ! I stoped buying stuff just to save for those days. but I'm still more into the OT.

[Jipay]

I just wanted to know why they are so cheap ! It's like 20 dollars each *wacko*

[joeroy]

nobody is buying that why so cheap

[joeroy]

Definitly an expensive day ! I stoped buying stuff just to save for those days. but I'm still more into the OT.

Well the current month is Feb, you still got time to save money till April

[joeroy]

Thanks for the info Mutley. America gets it on the April 2nd, and Europe gets it 4th March (which isn't too far of the date they originally said) :-D

On the Asia region, it will be April.

[Brickmaster]

now its later?!?! jeeez, bad comunication er somthin, i just cant trust the release dates anymore...

[The Middleman]

Update: my dad's going to call around for the ARC-170 tomorrow! :D Hopefully he'll bring one home!

[Orlego]

Because they were $10 at Wal-Mart two weeks ago and people have flooded Ebay with them. ;)

[Jipay]

damn, I better anderstand now. So bad i already bought the set (full european price :'( ). I start to seriously think that there is absolutely no needs to worry in this hobby because if you wait enough, prices drop incredibly :/ Like the tie fighter is already for less than 20$ on ebay. the same goes for the JSF

[Orlego]

Yeah but it is a gamble. Sometimes you wait too long and the set becomes discontinued. Then you find yourself paying twice the retail price on Ebay. ;)

[Sarg_Kulo]

Hey, I just thought, Republic Commando and all those sets...on the same day, wow, what a great day its gonna be :-D

And a expensive day ;)

I already preordered RC, and it's all paid for. But Im still in a bit of debt with my parents for the ARC fihgter, I get paid soon. So I'll have a bit left over for some clone walkers *glasses*

[Sarg_Kulo]

Anyone else think that this is really unenjoyable to build? I usually enjoy building stes but this one just seemed like a pain
