    What's your recent LEGO Star Wars Purchase?

    Just faster shipping. 1-2 day instead of 3-5. I just took the free trial. The deals are for anyone. Brickset keeps a page where they update the sales on amazon. You can even chose your country and narrow the search to a specific theme (star wars for exemple :P) I'll link it here.

    What's your recent LEGO Star Wars Purchase?

    Yes they do! But I am seriously starting to run out of space to display my sets. The striker will look amazing next to the normal tie, the tie prototype and my 1999 Darth Vader Tie advance haha. And for the amazon trial, I already canceled the auto renewal. It will simply expire in September.

    What's your recent LEGO Star Wars Purchase?

    Just got the Tie striker for 30% off on amazon with 2 day free shipping! Wasn't sure I would get this set but 30% sales are rare in Canada so I pulled the trigger. Added the U-Wing starfighter and Krennic's shuttle both also for 30% off!

    LEGO Star Wars Pricing Discussion Thread

    I guess I don't find the phantom to be too much overprices because we knew for some time it would be 40$. But the skiff at 40$ is out of nowhere. But it's true that the A-wing is 20$ more than the last one from 2013. Yes microfighter and BP are also overpriced in the USA but you guys get pretty good sales from Wal-Mart and Amazon a couple months after release. I have no fear you will soon find them for less than 11$ (BP) and less than 7$ (microfighter). And I also wish they would include standard blaster in BP.

    LEGO Star Wars Pricing Discussion Thread

    US and CAD can be found on the Lego website. BP are now 1$ more. The skiff is super expensive at 40$. Last one was 30$. At least Scariff set looks like a good deal at 64.99$. 10$ less than Takodana with the same number of pieces. Also the website says available February 17 instead of March 1. I wonder why they changed it (not complaining haha)

    Very nice! Maybe give Leia a snowtrooper kama to stop that missing pant mini controversy :P

    What Video Game(s) are you playing?

    Men of War assault squad 2 with the Galaxy at war mod. It adds a ton a star wars character and vehicle to the game. It's still in alpha and as no single player campain yet but still hours of fun on the editor. I also plated recently Star Wars Empire at War with the Galactic at war mod that turns the game to the Clone Wars. Mods (and modders) are the best!

    LEGO Star Wars 2017 Pictures and Rumors

    The figs in Obi Wan jedi starfighter and the clone included in the republic tank please!
  9. I prefer the death trooper over the shadow trooper but I must say that the build is better in 7667. We had a walker recently in a BP and they are the only things we get in BP with speederbike and gun platform. A dropship or any king of flying vehicle would have been better than another walker. Anyway I plan on getting multiple 75165 Imperial Trooper Battle Pack! I did some reviews even tho I am not an official reviewer. I guess it's better to have a 'non official' review than none at all. Phone camera a good enough today to be review worthy. Only problem I had was with the lighting. You should give it a shot since you seem like you love posting Also, they are really fun to make. I would have done some on the new set but they don't come out until march in Canada. Only thing that could happen is that will people will give you feedback on how to improve on your next review.

    What's your recent LEGO Star Wars Purchase?

    Got the 75152: Imperial Assault Hovertank on sale 20% off. I started wanting this set after seeing the movie. I just waited for a decent sale. After nearly 1 year of no 20% off sale at Toys R us they started doing them again a few months ago. I think they saw that no one would buy most sets and the big exclusive at full price. Their shelves are always full of rebel combat frigate and even Dart Maul's ship.

    Many in the movie did not have pauldron. It's like for the stormtroopers: only officers have pauldron Like this picture The bp is definitively Rogue 1

    LEGO Star Wars 2017 Pictures and Rumors

    Even the figs in the Death Star don't have dual molded printing or arm printing so I highly doubt it will in the Bounty Hunter BP. They just don't do this kind of printing in the star wars theme except a few exception (Hello Boba Fett)

    Still no news of the Episode II jedi starfighter. It must be the exclusive.

    Yes So we will probably have the pictures of the summer sets before the winter ones are actually released. At least it makes planning my buy list easier...

    LEGO Star Wars 2017 Pictures and Rumors

    The box are different because they show the piece count and are therefore printed in the US. Also most of the parts are made in the Mexico factory but not all from what I understood. That means that some parts are shipped from Europe to Mexico for set assembly. This would explain why we don't get them at the same time as the rest of the world. (This is my opinion and not official)

    Star Wars - Battle on Rhen Var (Battlefront)

    Wow... just wow... The amount of detail is impressive all around and on the mountains. Also the choice of Rhen Var is very original. I also really like this map in the game. It was like Hoth (snowy) but with ruins of city and it made for very interesting infantry and vehicle combat. I would write a longer comment but I got to go turn on my PS2 and play some Battlefront......

    The future of StarWars media expansion and collecting.

    I only collect ep 1-6 and Clone wars & Rebels. I am starting to lack space to display. Also, I have almost every ship that are seen in those film / episodes. I won't buy another set I have already. I have the 1999 Y-wing and therefore I won't get the new one. So my time collecting should be over soon because according to me my collection is almost complete and also the price are getting ridiculous. (685$ with tax for the new death star, that is just too much) And anyway, since I collect episode IV, I have everything to recreate episode VII right?

    What do you do with leftover battle packs?

    I mostly display them or play with them. I have over 60 battlepacks so I can have massive battles and those walkers, canons and speeders are very useful.

    Well, it's nice that they make variation to the weapons of the BP even tho they are all studshooters.
  22. duboismerci

    LEGO Star Wars 2017 Pictures and Rumors

    Both BP build look nice! I just have to see if I like the deathtrooper enough to buy multiple of. Also, are the Rebels in the BP with Endor camo. Because I would sure love a bunch of Endor trooper to go with my shuttle Tydirium. (A small build AND a speeder is a must get anyway) They also look like they have a new piece around the studshooter to make it a bazooka

    LEGO Star Wars 2016 Pictures and Rumors

    I think they had a problem with their Mexico factory that is why the sets were late in NA. And I am surprise no one gives this reason as why sets cost less in the US. Mexican worker get paid a lot less than worker at the Euro factories. For me, it explain why sets I the US are less expensive

    The Airborne troopers from the Utapau battlepack had clothe pieces (Kama) So it's possible in a BP The death troopers should come with a clothe pauldron. (I hope)

    Exactly I don't understand how people get so angry about a simple request. Maybe it's the fact that it's a kids toy that makes adults act like childrens? Who knows? Anyway Thanks to all the admins of the website for all you do. I hope, in the future, some people show a little more respect.
