Bit disappointed we won't see an UCS MF anytime soon. :(

I don't want to go into the whole pricing-issue, but I never buy a set at release (without some kind of discount or special promotion). There's a huge difference between regions, of course, but still. Why not wait a few months, check out different stores etc.?

Am I the only one who likes the new UCS set, apart from the price? Will be great to combine it with my 7879 Echo Base.

My folks just gave me the buildable figure of Commander Cody. I wasn't really a fan of this series, but the item changed my mind. He's very well done, especially the little details on helmet and armor! Can't wait to pick up Vader, Grievous and Kylo Ren later on.

As long the characters won't be able to tame Rancors in epi IX, I'm cool with Trevorrow.

Blown away by TFA - the movie. Can't wait what Lego will do in future sets, more specifically the summer ones!

I don't know why, but I absolutely love this set. The building process was so much fun, and the result is imo amazing.

It's a site of the Colruyt-group, which is the biggest supermarket in Belgium. So yeah, the site is very reputable. I think you can get it delivered to your home (no idea of cost) but it's cheaper to just get the package at your local Colruyt-store. [edit] Slave 1 for example is now priced at € 144 ....

Okay, for those interested in this set, and live in Belgium: the TIE is priced at ... € 166,17 (!) at collishop.be. Link: https://www.collishop.be/e/nl/cs/speelgoed/bouwblokken/lego-star-wars/lego-star-wars-75095-tie-fighter-111593 , and use the code mentioned on the site.

Meh, the 75095 TIE Fighter is out of stock at S@H, wanted to pick it up for the double VIP points...

Bit on a spree again, but glad I waited a bit before buying new sets rightaway: Imperial Shuttle, Flash Speeder, TFA Falcon, Poe's X-Wing, FO transporter and FO Tie Fighter on amazon.de, all with min. -20% off. Can't wait till they're delivered!

Wouldn't it be better to have a healthy mix of First order troops (f.e. a stormtrooper, flamethrower, etc.) and Resistance soldiers in each battlepack instead of 4 of the same minifigs? If you want more you can still buy multiple BPs; and a bit of diversity in troops would be welcome as well. That's what I would do at least.

Is the new Infiltrator worth to get if you already have the 2011 set? It sure looks better, but it's a lot more expensive (I could sell the 2011 one, as it's still sealed).

Only the Phantom and a battle pack or something to get to 55 euro. Won't buy the UCS Tie Fighter (yet), because 1. I'm not quite fond of the model and 2. it's stupidly overpriced. Slave 1 just arrived, and that thing's gorgeous!

Prices are stupid indeed. Won't buy a single set without discount, so I'll probably end up getting a few next year. If I like the movie that is. If not: my wallet will be happy.

Hmm, maybe it'll be a combination of 10143 and 10188? Very interested in what they'll announce to be honest. I imagine we won't be hearing anything about it before November/December?

Just bought the MTT for 79,99 euros at Toys'R'Us on the Dutch online store. Price was reduced with 10%, and on top of that: there's a discount of 20% on all their Lego sets till the 4th of April or something.

Which is silly, because 1 dollar is like 0.9 euro right now.

Gunship is a fantastic set -and- recently retired. So pick up that one now, and you can still get the Shuttle when you can afford it in the future.

Bought way too many sets of late, including (through advice from some forum members) the ARC-170, Clone Turbo tank, Republic Frigate, BARC and Mandalorian speeder, etc... and a whole bunch of battlepacks (Kashyyyk, Geonosis, ITT, Utapau troopers, etc.). Way over budget, but hey, I think I'm finally done with any pre-Dark Age set. (just started collecting two years ago) I was also convinced I did a steal on a Stormtrooper Sergeant polybag (there is no Lego Store in the area). Bought one for 15 euros, including shipment, and after two weeks it finally arrived. But .. with a note from the local national Belgian post ("we apologize blahblah") and in a different bag because the package it was in was simply mauled. Including the polybag... Result: headpiece and blaster is missing. The rest is okay, and so far I can see, no scratches or other damage.

Which ones are you after by the way?

I hope they'll still release a battlepack from time to time (mostly Clone Wars and OT). But yeah, remastered sets will be most likely out of the question. But then again, they'll do a sith infiltrator later on so it might not be completely unlikely. I'm more worried about the quality of the movies (another topic, of course), and therefore my motivation to get any of those new sets.

So do we get an extra wave this year, or did it just get an earlier release to align with the movie?

Personally I really don't mind the Rebels Stormies. The helmet mold is pretty neat, and apart from the blue grille I can't see the difference with OT troopers. And to top it off: they're pretty cheap to acquire!

Wouldn't mind to see the new Sith Infiltrator as well. :-)
