The new Advent calendar, $35 at Walmart. They have the FO gorilla walker polybag at Walmart, but I passed on it. May get it later.

Went to my local LEGO store and picked up the Tracker I at 20% off. Still enough to get the promo Scarif trooper. I changed the landing gear on 75175 to match the landing gear on 75150. I hated the the asymmetry on 75175's front foot.

Sorry to hear about your home, but glad that you and your family are okay.

1 Palpatine figure from 75044, 1 Count Dooku figure from 75017, 1 Anakin Skywalker figure from 75038, 1 Anakin Skywalker from 9494 and 2 Super Battle Droids. My son REALLY likes Episode 3.

Outstanding! Kinda like a mash up of an X-Wing and a U-Wing. Perfectly utilitarian like most Star Wars vehicles.

Bought my son 5 OT Snowtroopers and a Ki Adi Mundi figure. He's really fond of the PT and wants to make Order 66 dioramas. He wants to paint the Snowtroopers dark red to look like the Arctic Legion Clone Troopers.

Cracked open the Vader Transformation set and put it together. Noticed an interesting quirk with the identical Anakin heads that came with the set. I had to check the parts list in the back of the manual just to make sure they were supposed to be identical. One of the heads is slightly paler, almost cloudy or opaque in color to the other. Think like the glow in the dark pieces. I even took it into a dark room to see if it did glow, but it didn't. The printing is even slightly lighter than the other head. The other head is the regular tan color with crisp printing. I actually don't mind the unintentional variation, I put the "paler" head on Darth Vader and the "tan" head on Burnt Anakin. I tried to take a picture, but it wasn't obvious in the shot. You have to see it in person. I'll keep trying to get a comparison picture to share with you guys. Has anybody else encountered this?

Got two Scarif Shoretrooper buildable figures for $10 each at Walmart on clearance. Still trying to track down the Death Trooper which Walmart has on clearance for $5 each.

Outstanding! Very organic looking, it doesn't look like 4 sets combined at all. Fantastic work!

So, will 75181 be a buildable figure or battle pack somewhere down the line? Will they ever have a set numbered 75143?

Literally the third year in a row that my first day back to work from my "weekend" is on Force Friday.

Picked up the Bounty Hunter battle pack, the FO Transport Speeder battle pack, the Republic Fighter Tank, the Darth Vader Transformation and the Scout Trooper and Speeder Bike from different Walmarts and a TRU. I saw the Quadjumper, Rathtar Escape, Tracker I and Arrowhead too. I actually passed on picking up the Quadjumper and Rathtar Escape (I know, I'm crazy). I'll wait until the Quadjumper is 10-20% off and the Tracker I and Arrowhead are 20% or more off. I probably should have just gotten the Rathtar Escape. I also got another Resistance Troop Transporter, but not a purchase. My senior/elderly parents have been having health issues lately, including lengthy hospital and rehab facility stays. So, I have been helping to clean their house for them. My Mother is somewhat of a pack rat, so in helping to de-clutter her things, we discovered an Amazon box with a brand new 75140 set in it. What apparently happened was, I had requested that as a birthday gift last year, but changed my mind and requested the 75084 Wookiee Gunship set instead. She gave me the Wookiee Gunship, but never told me that she had also bought the other set too. She must have forgotten, which is not uncommon for her.

Seconded, always check the LEGO aisle for deals at Walmart. I have the Walmart app on my phone and you can check the price of any particular item at multiple Walmarts in your vicinity. It will also show the online price as well as the store price for whichever store you have set as the default.

The Walmarts near me have them marked down to $35, was tempted to get a second (and third) TIE Striker, but not yet. My son always complains about how we don't have Smyths here in the US, because based on some YouTube videos, they have a great selection of WWE figures.

Got the 75120 K-2SO at Walgreens for $4.75. It was labeled clearance priced at $13.74, which I thought was great. But, when I took it to the register, it came up as $4.75. So, basically 80% off.

Went to the LEGO store and got Battle Of Scarif for 20% off, which I was waiting for it to be before I bought it. Also got a second Imperial Trooper Battle Pack to get over $50 to get R2-D2.

Anyone else who got the 75155 U-Wing end up with a couple of out of the ordinary extra pieces? I had an extra 1 x 2 DBG cheese wedge/slope and an extra DBG 2 x 2 round tile with the hollow stud in the middle of the top. I checked back through the instructions and the part inventory and I didn't miss a step or miss anything. Odd to get extras of those. Also, did anyone MOD the 75175 A-Wing's landing gear to match the landing gear from the 75150 A-Wing?

Plus, you need to do this...

Thank you. I've been waiting almost a year to get Hoth, so I asked for it for my birthday. Also picked up the A-Wing today, but the 20% discount had ended.

I got the U-Wing, U-Wing Microfighter, TIE Striker Microfighter, Rebel Battle Pack, Imperial Trooper Battle Pack, Yoda's Jedi Starfighter, Duel On Naboo, The Phantom 2.0 & Luke's Landspeeder. Also getting the Assault On Hoth next week. Needless to say it's my birthday next week.

We do okay. Targets and Walmarts are plentiful. There is a Walmart 4 miles north of my house and 4 miles south of my house. There is a Target 4 miles south of my house and 8 miles north. There is a TRU 8 miles north of my house and another one about 4 or 5 miles east of that one. Plus they all price match Amazon and each other, so we do good on discounts on a regular basis. I'm more annoyed by the fact that TRU already has everything marked down 20%, plus there's new Formula 1 Speed Champions sets I want, I'm still working on getting the LEGO Batman Movie line and I've already lined up what I want for my birthday next month. There's too much out at the moment... ARGH!

Looks like they bumped the Y-Wing up to February 17th.

I imagine just Rey would be on the LEGO box art, just put that picture in the corner with maybe a red background?

Managed to get a long retired set that was on the shelf and discounted at my local LEGO store. They've had 5 Ninja DB X's on the shelf discounted down to $63.99 for about 5 months now. I was there last week trying to complete my Batman movie minifigure set and they STILL had 5 on the shelf. So I go back this past weekend to get one and to get the Disco/Clown Batman polybag and they only had 2 left. So in a 9 day period, they sold 3 of the ones on the shelf that had been there for almost 5 months. I was relieved that I got one before they were gone.

Everything comes out February 17th except the Y-Wing, which comes out March 1st. Not sure why.
