Awesome, thanks. Tough call, but Nien Nunb probably top of my wish list from those...ideally with a new head mould

Has anyone made a check list of how many minifigures are needed to complete the vintage Kenner card back of 92 figures? Based on a quick scan I think it's around 15, and your list would tick off another five

2017 update - Just stumbled across this thread and there's now only one on bricklink and they want £619 for it: https://store.bricklink.com/jarrovlissingen?p=jarrovlissingen&itemID=123218960#/shop?o={"invID":"123218960"}

Me too. Hoping they still have some black cards left!

Does anyone else get mildly panicky about sets that are retiring soon, even though you already own them?

Given its only a couple of weeks till launch, I would expect a preview set review for Assault on Hoth on YouTube from Brick Show or Jang Bricks or one of those guys. Not seen one where someone has the set in hand yet though...

It's been a tough couple of days but I'm staying strong and have managed to resist any of the new sets. Please can someone remimd me when the next OT set is released as all this unboxing lark is making me twitchy.

How come Amazon UK sets already? It says they can deliver this week, as well, not even a pre-order

I got an email saying my poster and Yularen were being delivered but the UCS TIE I bought to get them is on back order so will come later. More postal madness.

Second pic of the advent calendar has the old school Hoth rebel, instead of the new white one shown on the first pic. Hope this is mistake.

Does anyone know if the pilot that comes with the new snowspeeder micro fighter is a named character? In the same way the x-wing dude was.

My bricklink stunt double(s) arrived today and I'm really pleased with the result. I used the rubber/eraser at the end of a normal pencil and a piece of thin sellotape. The Bard head is two sided so I neednt have worried about how I was going to erase the teeth, but I used that side to practise on and make sure my tape didn't rip the whole face off...which is didn't. So thanks again for inspiring my latest addition to the squadron, and if you have any ideas on how to make a red leader helmet let me know :)

It felt like there were 1000 parts in those caterpillar tracks

And that's why I love this forum, Biggs is awesome and love the upgrade idea. On it!

Be very interested to hear how you get on with that search. Going to start building mine tomorrow

Well spotted! Slave 1 ordered.

Thanks for the tips on this, my own variation on the theme is shown on this newly created Flickr account http://flic.kr/p/qCBcti

I was expecting to be able to buy from Lego site at 12.00.01

I feel your pain, but if it helps, the new Slave 1 looks awesome in the flesh :)

Cloud City Lando just arrived (via Bricklink). Sadly no cape, but I've ordered a yellow custom job from eBay and figure this will suffice as I can only see the front when it's in the display case anyway. Bit jealous about the US early releases too. I've been into a Lego store, a Walmart and a TRU in the UK and the closest I got was a preview of the UCS slave 1
