    I may be one of the few, but I like most of the elements in this. They'll add nicely to what I've already got. But then I display my sets in diorama form, not on a shelf or in boxes, and Hoth is my favourite battle. I wish there was at least 1 more Snowtrooper included, but this is still on my "to-buy" list. Just only one (I have two Ewok Villages)

    I also wish they would have given Sabine and the Clones a little darker skin tone like they did for Kanan.

    Other than Stass Allie and Storm, have there been any female LEGO figures "of colour" produced at all? I have yellow, white, green, blue, light flesh, but nothing in flesh, medium dark flesh, or reddish-brown beyond the two mentioned. It's good that their male minifigs are showing a bit more diversity, but they need to catch up with the female ones!

    In terms of the sets, having missed all previous Turbo Tanks, that's a must-have for me - good to see the video, although the interior looks smaller than I was hoping for. The others I need to see in more detail (although I'll probably end up picking up most of them).

    Whereas for me I buy a set that I think looks cool, regardless of how prevalent (or non-existent) it is in the movies etc. If it looks good and has great minifigs that is all I want, I loved the Old Republic & Yoda Chronicles sets (and I know nothing of Old Republic material).

    Me too, but to prevent people sharing about the legitimate canon sets at the expense of non-canon made-up stuff just seems like bad PR to me. LEGO and Disney / Lucasfilm have shot themselves in the foot so many times recently, it's amazing they can still stand up.

    Have I missed something about a retail exclusive? I also wanted to know if anyone knows the price points for all the Rogue One Sets.

    We don't know any details other than there's supposed to be a Rebels set including Ahsoka, but it isn't one of the general release sets seen at the Toy Fair. Nothing is known yet about Rogue One sets, AFAIK.

    Disappointed to be getting another Gree instead of a different commander / clone with the CTT (I already have two AT-APs), but otherwise I'm very pleased by the reports from Brickset and others. I'm likely to be skipping the LEGO animation sets unless they blow me away, but everything else ticks the right boxes. I built a recoloured blue / white X-wing already, but I might modify that to be another colour (I also built a red / black one) for interest. Interesting (in a good way) that other than BB-8, Rey will be the most common TFA figure, considering what other toy lines did...

    Well since Ep VIII date moved then maybe we will get more rebel sets in the 2017 summer sets.

    Here's hoping. Rebels has so much interesting stuff in terms of characters and ship designs. It's a shame it garners so much negativity among those who grew up on TCW (but who conveniently forget that the first season and a bit of that were rather slow-going too).

    Also, a chance of 2 waves of Rogue One sets is good, then another September Force Friday in 2017. Works for me!

    Same here. 4x FO BPs & 3x Resistance BPs. It's still not enough First Order, though.... :sweet:

    Is it ever? I got 9 FO BPs (and 4 Resistance ones), and Bricklinked another 19 stormies. TFA is proving expensive! Just wish the FO Battle Pack came with an extra stormtrooper instead of one of the other guys (preferably the one with the silly helmet, as we got those in other sets)

    Good review (and you certainly don't need to worry about your English!). Unfortunately this reinforces my decision not to buy this set. Expensive, not much in the way of unusual parts (I could probably build 90% of this with what I've got in spare parts) and lacking in substance for the sake of play features. I Bricklinked Maz and Kylo, and I'll only pick up the set if I can get it on real discount later in the year.

    Gave up on waiting for Amazon to ship, so ordered a Resistance Troop Transport from Holland, as well as another Resistance Battle Pack and a Wookie Gunship Microfighter. That'll be it now for my LEGO spending until the next wave - I've got all the current wave except Takodana (Bricklinked Maz Kanata), the TIE Advanced Microfighter and the HSD.
