Yeah, they had better variation of minifigures than I hoped for so definitely not displeased, however they still could have added three more I think. As for the Bantha, I agree with you, I got a custom one from Astarbricks like two years ago, don't know if he still sales them, and it doesn't work if u r a purist of course, but thats the best option out there. However I dont think a Lukes Homested or Tusken raider pack is an impossibility, lets hope for it as well. I think its superhard to predict the price change for minifigures. Some definitely drop over time, but others, like Ahsoka, Zeb Orrelius, Rex and the Old Rebuplic Jedi knight (unforutantely I sold the last two when they were far from their price peak) just got damn expensive instead. Even if they were not in super expensive UCS sets. Well if it sells well it's possible, the only we can do to help is that as many of us as possible try to buy this beautiful gem. Next few weeks gonna be a long hard waiting. Will try to even wait until next LUG discount day, but not sure I can hold back that long.

Yepp! I was apparently an unnecessary Thomas again, next time even if it's just made of one brick, I will believe it Now Im puzzled, wasn't the MSB label discountinued? Trying to think of it, but you are probably right. The closest I think with completely new character was probably the UCS Sand Crawler, if one would count droids as characters

Haha you know I spendera time googling descriptions of background characters from even Holiday Special. My aim is to have figures of every SW character ever on screeen (at least the movies)

I agree, especially Kabe is a weird choice and I dont think that looks properly executed, I think lego would have made a new mold for him, Joining the doubting camp

Well Im a more of a player than a model (lol) so it makes sense. I have bought al larger playsets so far. But I would also say that something happens to the room you placing the model in and wallet you take the money from when you need to buy a 600+ sets, it feels what it feels ;). Its actually more than most flight tickets (I try to travel alot, that it my other main hobby besides avoiding to be sober in various ways). Yeah, but still pretty strange that they manage it so well, but I guess what they do is that the just "strangle the flow of information" (that's the direct translation from Swedish, don't know how you express that in english) in a very early stage so even few people at TLG know what they are releasing.

You know what, I think its time for americans to riot over the forum name. And in the near future it will be known as TFFKAEB

Well I feel you on that one, few people have the time, space and money to have a complete collection. I did on the other hand buy the CC but skipped the MF and the SD instead. I was not too satisfied with the sequels either, but have still bought almost all the minifigures, but very few sets. Have on the other hand decided not to buy anything related to legends, and no rebels or the resistance series sets. Well see how I do with the Mandalorian, if I only go for the figures there or buy the ships. It's always a risk to buy the first set. No worries, I've seen people here who write 1000 sentences just in a review over a faceprint, so that was nothing. BTW, I was apparently wrong in my hypothesis on MoS Eisley leak last weak... nothing. Lego is really doning a better and better job to scare off any potential leakers.

Well of u are a person who dont buy single minifigs by principle, u avoided a vist but just the minifigures have costed me less than 100 euros, which aint that bad (even if I think it should have be cheaper compared to the total set cost, but it is what it is)

Cannot agree more

I see alot of 501st at all retailer I pass, Falcon was of course different since it was not available to reseller but which regions do people claim it's impossible to get their hands on 501st? And im not sure if NA counts (yet) since it wasn't released there start of this month

Well I was told the release date is first september from a lego employee, in that case the release is very eminent. But if that is true, it also seems to be a bit, too little happening if we compare to the Diagonal Alley as u mention which is starting to getting teased now.

So basically anyday the next week the Mos Eisley UCS can be leaked or officially revealed. Im almost too excited, not only do I want it so bad, but also because it's so difficult to visualize exactly how the set would look like.

Even forgot that one existed, where was that one available?

It should coz it Always is. Never heard of a SW set that is regional exklusive, just different promos sometimes

I thought force friday was a must, as the maythefourth. Isnt there always a force friday no matter what? Even if there is no new content, they still could have special offers and sales,

Smaller sets and less sets is not too positive :/ but im more worried about the ”familiar” statement. Means more jedi interceptors, landspeeders and snowspeeders?

When is force friday this year? If it has already been discussed lately then my memory is not top notch.

Sometimes people experience different tvings, but for me I see those clones pretty foten and very cheap. So wouldnt call it few people got lucka. Although I can agree that if you want to armybuild and buy multiple from the same seller, priceS goes up, but that goes for all figures. we will see in the next couple of years who is right concerning the 501st battlepack.

That price you are talking about is new condition, which it basically only will be collectors who sell them. Im of course not talking about collectors, but normal kids and parents who will buy these sets in multinum and then well sell the sets or figures a few years later, sets that sell massivly at the time will sell poorly later (generally speaking). And when it comes to mass-sellers, I often think other sites than bricklink you will find them more easy. Ebay, tradera, blocket or FB groups would probably be better sites to find these sets or figures supercheap.

Man, 501 battlepack or loose figures are everywhere on the second hand market. The good thing is, in a few years, they will be so cheap because everyone bought them now. Their second hand value will probably be close to nothing.

hasn't any rumour an origin, every rumor has it's source, so basiccally what im saying he just reports everything

Do we know that neither Ewok Village, Cloud City, Hoth nor Death Star sold badly or its just an ”educated guess” from your side

There are good custom of Jim, better than Ponda so for me there is not really a must have figure, just not to many repats. think this det is becoming the most anticipated set for me since the ewok village.

Love the figures two, looks better than the custom version I have of him as well, don't mind the gigantic head =)
