For UK folks, Far From Home sets are available at ASDA and John Lewis: Molten-Man: £24.99 Hydro-Man: £34.99 Stark Plane: £54.99 Can't wait for these to hit S@H so I can get Stark Tower!

Does anyone know the UK retail prices for the FFH sets?

The new box art that started with the Endgame wave looks fantastic on the FFH and Stark Tower sets! Really pops when the character art is less crowded and with a darker background colour.

I don't think so, if anything I believe the stud shooter and trans-blue blade piece are meant to represent the various weapons Tony produces from his nanotech suit in Infinity War. E.g. when he threatens Drax with that huge blaster and when he attacks Thanos with that arm-blade. Overall, I'm not as disappointed with these sets as I was earlier. I'll definitely be getting every set with the exception of the compound. Nice to see the various Easter Eggs in the HoA, although I'm sure Lego could have handled the egregious minifigure slots occupied by Outriders more tactfully.

Widow's face seems to be Erso's, and you're right about Hawkeye having young Han's face too.

War Machine Buster and the Quinjet are on Amazon Italy. I must say, the new Quinjet looks spectacular! Looks like there's a lot of room inside this time round. Minifigures are downright disappointing though. Odd choice to give Hawkeye the old standard bow and arrow mould when there's a specialised one that has been used for every release of the character!

As toys, the previous 3 versions of the system MF (Solo, TFA, and 7965) have done a great job at representing the ship whilst balancing aesthetics with interior. Saying that, I do hope the IX iteration offers a radical overhaul in the existing design. If the new 20th Anniversary Slave I does such a great job in downscaling the overall look of the UCS rendition, I’m hopeful that a new MF will offer enough of an incentive for who already possess some of the previous versions. Absolutely excited to see the IX lineup. So far this year’s offerings have mostly fallen flat for me, but I’m hopeful that Lego has something special planned come Triple Force Friday. New ships, new characters, so much to anticipate. I pray that the spoiler-averse approach towards merchandising for these films doesn’t prove to be too much of a detriment to the appeal of these sets.

Somewhat late to the (end)game here, but why on Earth is Ant-Man’s helmet the same as his previous minifigures? Would’ve thought the original purpose behind Firefly’s January helm was for a new Ant-Man in the first place.

I agree. This year’s offerings have been quite lacklustre in my opinion. I’m hopeful that the EPIX lineup for Force Friday will be worth the wait, especially as we won’t be getting a summer wave this time round.

That new pilot figure with the headsets makes me think we are indeed getting a Ski-Speeder set. We've already seen pictures of both Finn and Poe manning a speeder with similar headsets.. Hopefully not too long to go until we see the new TLJ sets! Really looking forward to this wave filling in the gaps from the Force Friday II lineup.

@ReZourceman Thank you for the heads up regarding Ocado! For all in the UK, Ocado currently have a £20 off first purchase offer, so I snagged all three GotG Vol 2 sets for £75. Each set also qualifies for a free minifigure or mixel, so I got three LBM minifigures for free too. Regarding the new Homecoming sets, they're a definite pass for me. The Vulture's wing construction is brilliant though, and I'm looking forward to seeing the Ragnarok sets.

Correct, the UK S@H seems to have most of the 2017 sets listed as "Coming Soon" with their respective prices, not basing it on currency conversion.

Ha, good point. Guess I'll be waiting for a discount on it though. So that's the Phantom (sooner or later), Duel on Naboo, Yoda's Starfighter, and Y-Wing for me from this wave. Would like to see an AT-ACT at some point.

£39.99 for the new Phantom is outrageous, the Desert Skiff has a higher piece count and is £10 cheaper. SW sets have always been on the more expensive side but this is borderline ridiculous!

It will. They're all part of the January wave.

Apologies if this has already been stated, but the preview sets are up on S@H. The UK price for Joker's Lowrider is absurd, £55!

The Y-Wing looks fantastic. I'm perplexed as to why the new Rebel pilot helmet is exclusive to the U-Wing microfighter!

Such a shame not to get Revan here in the UK, but not all too surprising. Still, 5 Stormtroopers and double VIP is still pretty fantastic.

I think it was in the $40 range? Also, if Thrawn is in the set then it makes sense for the Kanan figure to be the S3 version. I'm guessing it'll utilise a new mould as the armour plate goes over his face and part of his hair.

Really hope so, it would be an incredible disappointment if this was just a US/Canada thing, but I wouldn't be surprised. The double points are a wonderful incentive to pick up the RO sets without waiting an extra day and Revan is just icing on the cake.

Definitely agree with you there, though in my opinion the mould is far more fitting for the Shore Trooper than the Tank Trooper. The latter seems to have more prominent "mandibles" on the side of the helmet (whereas the Shore Trooper's mandibles are flattened) and the upper "bar" of the helmet seems larger too. Lego probably tried incorporating aspects of both helmets (though ultimately the design does a better job at evoking the Shore Trooper), so that it would be easier to differentiate them through printing rather than a whole new mould. Thanks for the review Ookami! The Striker is one of my favourite TIE designs, looks very swooshable too.

Haha yes it is! But to be fair it has been a long time since I've picked up any Star Wars sets. Now waiting for the release of the RO line.

UCS Slave I Poe's Resistance X-Wing Encounter on Jakku Battle on Takodana Droid Escape Pod Vader's TIE Advanced v. A-Wing First Order Battle Pack Resistance Trooper Battle Pack Galactic Empire Battle Pack Rebel Alliance Battle Pack And also Hoth Attack & Assault on Hoth to start up my Hoth collection.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Death Troopers in the BP lack pauldrons and have unique printing to differentiate them from the ones in Krennic's Shuttle, which seem to be Specialist Death Troopers according to other merchandise. Additionally, I have a really strong feeling that Moroff will appear in one of the RO sets, given that he already has an action figure and Micro Machines figurine.

Nope, the Death Trooper helmet mould is independent of the Tank/Shore Trooper.
