Got the new Imperial Shuttle and the Star Destroyer of episode VII

As everybody is talking on that possible UCS set - are there any news on the Sentinel-Class? Or is nobody interested in that set?

Got that new Rebel Bomber from the new movie on last saturday for 30 EUR off. I couldn't resist ... and my personal "department of finance", which was by my side, agreed that I could spend the money :-)

Got a TIE Striker and the Old Fishing Hut ... and won't buy the UCS Falcon.

I knew that might has happened before .. I did not go back in time for so long ... Sorry for that.

Hello everybody, I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but there is one thing that is really ... strange in the newer Lego sets. My dark age is over for almost four years now. One of the first sets I built was the UCS R2-D2 and I was wondering about those few colourful parts (green, yellow, red, ...) which were needed but are not seen in the final model. I know, they might be a help for the kids but ... I grew up with the good old "LL 928" and the large technic car. You know, that black thing with the red seats and the boxer engine in the back? There were no colored parts to help you. It was hard to have a handful of grey parts and to find their place in the model. Why are they doing this? Are the kids of today too stupid to buildt those models? Greetings

Got a BB-8 ... and the Old Fishing Hut :-) Will not buy this years advent calendar or the UCS Falcon.

Went to our local Lego Store on Saturday and got the Quad Jumper (75178) and the A-Wing (75175) ... oh, and they gave me an R3-M2 (40268?) in a polybag

Somebody mentioned it before: I do not understand all that hype about an UCS MF ... spending estimated 600 or more EUR/$/whatever on a LEGO set ... Nop, not for me. I hope that it will be published soon - if the rumours are real

Really cool. Just one remark: I may be wrong but do the wings go further down in flight mode? Or is it already possible for your son (swoosh-factor) and it is not shown due to a stand?

I bought the new Y-wing on Friday just for fun and built it on Christmas ...

Bought Kylo Ren's shuttle spontaneously on saturday. Those eyes of all those kids in the Lego store when they saw me ... and when they heard "No, it for me!" ...

Really phantastic! Is there a chance to get an instruction or something else on how you built that DX-9 transport?

Bought Krennic's shuttle last weekend for only 70 EUR.

Bought 75158 - Rebel Combat Frigate at the Lego Shop online. Waiting for the delivery ...

After the AT-ST directly from Lego was sold out (see my posting before) here in Germany I contacted them and aked when it will be delivered ... They are expected to be delivered this week ...

I ordered the new AT-ST directly from Lego on friday ... and got an e-mail about 30 minutes later that the set is sold out and the delivery will be delayed ...

I just bought an AT-DP online. This set is really hard to get. Almost sold out. The next one will be the new AT-ST which isn't available yet.

Okay, just my two cents ... I won't spend a lot of money on Lego the next time ... I already own a Death Star 10188 (about two years old). And I just do not like the Rogue One sets which were anounced yesterday (U-Wing and tank). Not because of the details or stuff like that - no, I just build Lego sets because of their outer apperance (like/dislike). Maybe the other sets announced are better. Edit (after a quick search on the internet): Perhaps the AT-ST and the TIE, but definitly not the shuttle

In the last few weeks I bought the Resistance X-Wing, the new Clone Turbo Tank and Microfighter Snowspeeder

@tuggernut and Juke: One last off-topic comment on that " strange child" - imagine a Lego Store full of real children and the other, older childreb ... end of November ... christmas approaching ... one of those people of the Lego store staff ... "May I help you?" "Oh yes, please. I would like to have one of those (pointing at 10188)" ... the faces of all the others ... priceless :-

@tuggernuts: The lady behind the counter in our local Lego Store gave it to me. Just as a little add-on she said because she forgot to cash my Lego points. We had a nice conversation after she found out that the "child" is 40+ years old and more that 1.90 m tall ... So I had to pay the full price of the X-Wing - more points for the next set :-)

75149 Resistance X-Wing... Unfortunately 10240 isn't available for a normal price any more ... but they gave me a little TFA Stormtrooper in a polybag as an add-on and some monument in a fountain with two park benches (sorry, I have got no article number on that) Edit: It is 40221 for the fountain and 30602 for the Stormtrooper

As I only buy (and build) those models I actually like in their appearance I am looking forward to the AT-ST and the TIE-Fighter. The TIE reminds me of the TIE Defender. I think, the model can be easily MOD to make it a TIE Defender, which is my favourite TIE since the good old DOS game back in ancient times ... And I always wanted an AT-ST next to my AT-AT and the new AT-TE (Captain Rex). Yes, the themes do not fit to each other, but hey - they are walkers.

I bought 75157 Captain Rex AT-TE at Toys'r'us on saturday - and it was 10 EUR cheaper than the original price :-)
