I'll do some now. Anything in particular you'd like?

No face, but the printing on the torso, legs and helmet is superb, some details are almost to fine to see. Same on the standard stormtroopers. The whole set is a fun build with plenty of variation in techniques. Looks better with the spring loaded shooters left off imo. Tried the Phasma minifigure with Juno Eclipse head/hair. Looks good but we'll have to wait for the movie to see if she even takes her helmet off.

Picked up first order transport and Rey's speeder at ToysRUs - building fun for tonight. Ordered x-wing from S@H and got free Yukaren minifigure (will swap head, hair and legs to make another ISB agent), ninjago polybag and Lego phantom Menace poster. Waiting until double points for Falcon. That should bring my points up enough to get command shuttle for free! Love it when a plan comes together!

I only need one kidney, right? Right?!?

This is basically just a constant-wallet hammering for the next 2 solid years!

The FO transporter will be in my basket too - the minifigure selection is brilliant and I really like the amphibious landing craft vibe - although a lot of people are not so keen. Also probably going to pick up the x-wing and Reys Speeder.

Don't know if anyone's intending to head to a ToysRUs for midnight madness, but it seems like the first 75 through the door at certain locations will get some free goodies http://blog.toysrus.co.uk/store-events/star-wars-force-friday/ No stores near me unfortunately!

Good look at Poe's x-wing here

I don't think we'll see new jawas to be honest. There were 2 variants in the sand crawler - I guess that's what we'll see in the new escape. I for one couldn't be happier! I was considering getting multiple advent calendars , removing the jawas and stormies then selling them rest on just to get more jawas. A couple of droid escapes could do the job!

Just in case you still need him for you Death Star conference, Hothbricks are reporting that the Admiral Yularen minifigure will be a promotional item on Force Friday. Good that there is a promotion, bad that it's not something TFA related. http://www.hothbricks.com/2015/09/force-friday-sur-le-shophome-ce-sera-yularen/

I'm going eBay crazy for this very reason today! Not getting rid of much Lego, but m Millennium Falcon 7965 is going to make way for the new version!

There's a picture of the Black Series titanium version of this vehicle on another Star Wars forum where it looks identical to the Lego version - no 'V' wings, but extend-up wings. There's a close-up photo of a hooded villain minifigure too.

It's definitely bumped the x-wing back into my constantly changing Force Friday shopping list. Waiting for the Falcon until double VIP points in October.

When I comes to Kylo Ren, I think the helmet looks fine. I'm a bit more concerned about the lack of a face/hair. In the officially released images I can think of at least one where he is hoodless and maskless, and I'd bet there will be a number of times on screen like this. I'm thinking the 'Ezra' hairpiece will be suitable at the moment. Maybe we'll get a different KR minifigure next year too.

Seems like there could be stick issues with some smaller retailers (Not specifically with Lego sets)... http://www.jedinews.co.uk/news/news.aspx?newsID=23169

Closer look at the special forces tie in this "review"

Where did this suddenly spring from!

No force awakens sets online, but they are listing the 2015 advent calendar as available now. Price is stated as £25 - for some reason I thought it was more expensive this year.

On a slightly different topic- if you're in Exeter, this weeks express and Echo has 2 vouchers that can be exchanged for the Stormtrooper Sergeant polybag. You also get entered into a draw to win a trip to legoland, the naboo starfighter and detective office sets. Catch is there are only 250 available, but there were plenty left at 11 o'clock this morning. Edit: sorry, should have mentioned - redeem the vouchers at the Lego store @ Thomas Moore.

And other one... http://youtu.be/zv6G-BxaZgY

I love that the review manages to skim over the most talked about feature almost completely - namely do the wings fold into the V shape - not showing any photos of the wing mechanism at all!

Totally agree. I've been following these sets avidly everyday and I've seen every image available, but I'm still excited to see the reviews starting to come through. I can't wait for Jang, the Brickshow and any other AFOLs giving their thoughts and opinions. I always enjoy some one else's review even if I've owned the set for ages. When I think about it, I'm more excited about this wave than I have been for years - we're actually getting something new. Not a slightly different OT stormtrooper print. Not a new Luke hairpiece. Not a slight variation on the snowspeeder. We're getting new, never before seen characters and ships, from planets we've never seen. They'll be having adventures that I can't quote every word of and I've got no idea what's coming next... I can't wait!

I've decided to bite the bullet and sell my 7965 Millenium Falcon and replace it with a new, very similar set - mentioning no names or set numbers! I think the subtle changes make it worth the swap. Anyone interested in the 7965 feel free to pm me or check it out on eBay soon!

I can't find the link to look at the back of the boxes anywhere - is it somewhere in this tread or was it deleted really quickly?

Picked up 75094 Imperial Shuttle Tydirium on ebay for £60 - I suspect it originated from the recent Argos 3-for-2 sale as it came still wrapped in the Argos bag! Fresh out of the box today.
