Not really: "Usually dispatched within 3 - 5 weeks" But indeed it may suggest that we will see them in Europe.

The Sith Infiltrator price makes no sense whatsoever... Even compared "rumored" prices of TFA sets: 75101 First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter - 517 pieces £59.99, €76.99, $69.99 75102 Poe's X-wing Starfighter - 717 pieces - £69.99, €99.99, $79.99 The SI should cost between $70 - $80, but not $95 !!! My guess is that the "SRP" shown there is in fact a TRU price (as it is supposed to be TRU limited in the US) and the actual TLG MSRP may be lower than that. For example Death Star Final Duel is $79.99 from Lego, and $84.99 from TRU. But if the difference is only $5 then the Lego price will be $89.99 and this is still ridiculous... One more thing - has anyone noticed that the design of the actual Sith Infiltrator model is VERY different from the preliminary box art image that seats behind it?!... Why they didn't use the actual box art? But it explains the difference in the number of bricks - 630 was the preliminary number, while the actual set has 662.

I have a bad feeling about this... This isn't the Echo Base we're looking for... I hoped for something in 2000 - 3000 bricks range. I don't see more than half this number in the videos, unless we get two snowspeeders, but even then it I'm not sure there is enough to cross the 2000 brick line.

But still much closer to Toryn's hair than to the Leia's hair, and considering that her hairpiece in the new Tydirium shuttle set would be perfect also for Hoth Leia, it would be just dumb to use that hairpiece visible in the video. So I believe it is Toryn indeed. And I'm afraid we will get at least one snowspeeder in this set... While the design seems to be very close if not identical to the last years one, the colors are different.

It looks very nice. Not accurate to the show, but nice.

Maybe you could put a yellow brick behind blue transparent bricks to give them some greenish tint?

Yeah, it doesn't make sense at all. If TLG expects us to use the figs without helmets, then they should give us HAIR for them!!!

What will be the VIP early access set in August?...

They would have to use the Friends minidoll mold for it to make it look half decent

My thoughts are that you should probably read posts above yours... It is not that bowl piece - the figure would be huge if they used 2x2 bowl for the head. It is a new piece. EDIT: I think that the piece you mention could actually be used for the lower half of the droid body. And 553 for the upper half.

Actually the Modal Nodes band consisted of 7 musicians (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Modal_Nodes and http://cantinacustoms.tripod.com/id18.htm). So even two sets are not enough to have a FULL band :)

STAR TREK It is so obvious... yet, it never happened or STARGATE

What do we consider "recent" here? Actually I bought almost all my Star Wars sets within the last half a year And by that I mean most of the OT sets released since 2009. I was lucky to find most of them new and at retail prices or significantly less Only a few used sets (like 7965 and 10188), but at great prices and in excellent condition. My most recent purchase is 8097 Slave 1 (used, in very good condition - even though I also have the UCS one ) and 75093 Death Star Final Duel - but I don't have these two yet in my hands, waiting for delivery... Previously I bought 75094 Imperial Shuttle Tydirium and it is half built now

The fact that Captain Phasma is played by Gwendoline Christie has been officially confirmed (http://www.vanityfair.com/magazine/2015/05/gwendoline-christie-star-wars) , so unless under the helmet she is some kind of male alien, the Phasma's gender can now also be considered as officially confirmed.

New Dagobah set, new Cloud City set and Lars homestead. And Tusken raiders battle pack with Bantha(s).

How is 517 pieces a "lower piece count"?... 9492 had 413 pieces.

Actually it's June 22nd - 28th, if you mean the Ep.V poster...

I wonder, will we ever get back printing on R2-D2 body?...

I see nothing unusual in new sets having more parts, than previous one. This is normal trend for Lego: X-wing: 7142 (2002) - 267 parts 6212 (2006) - 437 parts 9493 (2012) - 560 parts TIE Fighter: 7263 (2005) - 159 parts 9492 (2012) - 413 parts This isn't a complete list of all X-wings and TIE fighters, but it shows how they grow.

I'm not sure why?.. That thread seams to be focused on future or recently released sets. This set is already on the shelves for several months now. I just bought it today and just yesterday I watched the Ep.IV (actually listened to the commentaries from the BluRay), so I noticed that the helmet markings match. And 7965 is certainly not a 2015 set to talk about it in that thread....

Maybe it is already a common knowledge, but I just noticed that the pilot's helmet in the 75081 set is marked exactly as the helmet used by Luke during his lightsaber training on board the MF in the Ep.IV. Can be used to improve the scene in 7965, that included plain LBG helmet :)

I don't see a problem with Vitruvius being flash. Just remember what he is supposed to represent: a custom minifig assembled by the kid to tell his story. Most of the other figures were made from his father's City sets (so they were yellow), but this one was probably meant to be a custom figure made from some license minifig parts. The environment in the Lego Movie is supposed to represent typical mixed Lego collections we have.

Really? The fuselage is 8 stud wide and probably three times that long "brick". I would say there's quite a lot space for a couple of minifigs inside. By the way, who also thinks the 75105 will be a MF?

Show us!!! :)

My DO and Slave 1 are here - and the Flower Cart in each box, so now I have two And I have a feeling that I will soon have three, as another one is most likely on it's way to me with Ideas Birds
