  1. I just saw teh reported prices in Euro for the new Star Wars sets. They are rediculously high. It's like lego decided to add 20% this year over the allready way to high prices from the movie stufffrom last year. This way they are not gonna sell much to me, in stead of the usual 20% discount i going for 40% this year!.
  2. I love the new rebels stes, although the A-wing is not as good as the last one, the canons are ugly!!! The movie sets, i don't care about, they are as boring as the movie. I allready have the x wing, don't need a second in just different colors.
  3. I liked that bike :), the only weak set was the spyclops The problem is not ultra agents, it was a great line, The problem is that lego has too manny themes and changes them really fast. Every 6 months new sets is just too much to get a grip. I don't want lego to get a james bond licence, it just means more expensive sets and less originality, just reproduction of what somebody else allready designed.
  4. The AT AP is one of the best star wars sets, i especially like it on 2 legs. Has a good interior, nice looking exterior.
  5. Ow jestro gets a castle/base in a vulcano cooooool :) I needed an enemy base :) But...wave 1 isn't out yet and wave 2 is allready there, isn't this going a bit fast?????
  6. Lego has always been expensive, but the adviced prices with the last waves were ludicrously high. The new obi one interceptor is 35€ officially priced and most shops follow that (luckily there are good online shops in the Netherlands that don't :) ) Compared to the 2014 version with anakin which was 30€, that's a 5€ or a 17% increase in price in 2 years for more or less the same item. My salary didn't go up that much...not by a long shot... i bought the anakin version at an end year sale for 22€, if they want me to buy the obi one they better drop to 25€ So the magic word is PATIENCE :)
  7. All storeds here have them allready a week and they are all overpriced... waiting for a sale...
  8. I'm really not heappy with the fact that the wookie gunship and the AT-DP allready have left the catalog while the tie advanced still stays. Those were great sets. Had to buy an extra gunship quickly before they are all gone. The assault carrier too, afer 6 months! A shame... Those new rebels sets coming in april better be good!
  9. Bought the last castle 2013 sets in the shop here today. Always nice for customs. 70400 70401 70402 x2 70403 70806 i'm one of the few who actually liked castle 2013 i think, shame it ended. Also bought the 6090 castle from 1995 and the complementary 6078 bridge set secondhand.
  10. I agree, prices are getting way too high in Europe. I always wait for the discount periods to buy my sets at at least 20% off. It means i can't get them when they come out, but at least i don't feel ripped off. Why some sets are more expensive in europe then in the uS and some are just teh conversion from $ to €, that someone will have to explain to me. Good example this year was the naboo starfighter, way too overpriced in Europe.
  11. It's so everywhere that it's becomming a lauching joke. I don't see how a reference to a fantasy movie makes me want to buy more basic necessities
  12. The phantom, no Ghost should be without ;) You allready got most of the good stuff. Personally i'd recommend the jedi scout fighter and the at-ap, both are excellent.
  13. It's too expensive to be considered the best set. i did take price into consideration along with build, play value, minifigs and design
  14. Nexo knights look interesting along with a few star wars sets, mainly rebels.
  15. Difficult question especially for 2013 which was an awsome star wars year, i'll star with 2010 because i don't have any sets older then that year 2010 - 8095 General grievous starfighter 2011 - 7964 Republic Frigate 2012 - 9497 Republic striker class star fighter 2013 - tie between 75003 A wing & 75018 jek-14's steath starfighter 2014 - Tie between 66512 Ghost + Phantom & 75051 Jedi scout fighter 2015 - 75102 Poe's X-wing 2016 - ????
  16. It can come so i can have a squadron of 3 blue A wings next to my squadron of 3 red A wings :) I hope it comes with a mature Asoka, she is really cool :)
  17. Lego has to much themes at the moment and the pace of new sets is way to high to follow or collect everything. I wish for the 80's again :( I only need the ultrasonic jet to complete the line, but it will have to come from ......japan. If you talk about absurd.
  18. Take it positive. Traditional lego is out of fasion for now, take the time to collect older sets you don't have. You can take the tme to save up for when traditional lego is back in fasion. Look at the classsic space theme, it will probably never come back, but now and then we get a cool new space theme and there will always be Star Wars. Or you can go with the time and actually like something radical new :).
  19. I don,'t want to spoil your dreams, but if you seek depth you better switch to Star Trek. Star wars OT is a cool laser show fantasy, but depth it has not. back on topic, I don't see much difference between the old stormtrooper and the rebels one, they both look old, the rebels has a slight meaner look due to the sharper black curve. The Torso of the rebels one is beter, but it is newer. I like the TFA new helmet even better, even if it looks a bit like a frog's face.
  20. Sorry to disagree but the more Rebels sets the better. The troops look better and the story has alot more content the the 3 old OT movies. I hope a new rebels blockade runner or the bigger command ship. Also hope for some new designs like a inquisitor scout ship or something.
  21. I picked upa second rebels advanced TIE Fighter and a 4th A-wing, i just love that spacespeeder, one of the best little star wars sets out there.
  22. I got back into Lego in the beginning of 2014 with the castle 2 theme and the Star Wars rebels Animated series. It started with getting just the Star Wars Ghost and the Phantom sets, because I like the series. I was a Huge Castle and pirates fan as a kid, so i bought the 2013 castle, then the rest of the wave and so i got hooked again on the castle theme. To bad i missed most of Kingdoms from 2 years before, that was a superb theme in term of sets. Because I was all out of castle stuff to get i started getting a few more Star Wars ships, like the A-wing and the Scout fighter and since them i'm hooked on Lego Star Wars despite being actually a Star trek fan, lol.
  23. It's a nice discount, i used it for other stuff like kylo ren's shuttle and the first order transporter. To much choice, so little money :( I do wish dreamland had more exclusives like the ewok village.
  24. This is a great custom build, the only nitpicking i can find is no storage space for a weapon, backpack or cargo. I like it better then the X wing, when will lego release this???? :wink: I'l trying my first custom/mod of a z-95 myself, but it takes a whole lot of time to get it right. How long does it take to create this from thought to final form?
