Tracker is £64.99 at Smyths.
-
Nope, not that I saw.
-
Picked up the entire summer wave today at my local Smyths! woohoo!
-
Simples! buy two sets = FOUR Gauvians!
-
I don't want to get into it in a big way... but even taking after sales tax into consideration this seems really cheap! especially in comparison to the UK where it's £65! Lucky Americans.

Google: Lego Star Wars - Reddit, top post. I think the Bossk must be a prelim as it appears exactly the same (parts & colours) as the version from several years back.
-
Got it, can't wait to get a good look later, at first glance they look like prelims in some cases (I hope so anyway, as some look a bit unfinished).
-
You gotta be kidding me! I look away for a couple of hours... MAN! I totally get that the link needed to be removed, but any advice at where I may find this? wink wink ;)

Has this thread been locked? I guess not, I think I just saw tumbleweed roll on by.

This was me, didn't realise my phone was set to an old account.

I struggled also, go onto reddit lego leaks and search 'TomFlanders' in the reddit searchbar, its towards the bottom of a series of new set images including elves etc.

I think the shape on BB8's board is simply the other of the two studs. So the front of the box shows 13 of the 24 figures/builds only if my calculations are correct, leaving another 11, I'm looking forward to seeing the remainder on Wednesday. I'm going to the London toy fair this week and hope to get as much information as possible (barring photographs). Any requests for specifics?

This is not unusual, as much as we like to think that most minifigs that TLG produce are good to excellent quality... I have found that the cheaper the way of getting your hands on figs (with books, magazines etc) the more likely they are to be lower quality :( I've contacted retailers to get replacements in the past, only for the replacements to be just as bad or worse, but good luck, hope this gets sorted out for you. PS. With that said I have had terrible quality minifig parts from sets such as 75159 :o So I guess you never know what you're gonna get.
-
There's no restriction, anyone who wants to can buy this. Better versions of products always cost more, seems childish to complain.
-
Aaaah! Now I understand why the 2016 thread is so quiet!!! I with I had time to read through all 70 pages but I don't, I would be massively grateful to anyone who could clue me in the the salient points... have new sets been rumoured etc? Thanks in advance.

After getting all the RO sets over the weekend I am blown away by the quality of the minifigures! I love them all, even the rebel troopers have not been skimped on, but by far I am most impressed by K-2SO's body piece, the level of complexity in the molding and printing is astounding! here's to TLG continuing with this quality :)

Free First Order Stormtrooper Polybag on all orders over £50 and triple VIP points on all LEGO Star Wars products.
-
I'm not holding out ANY hope of these promos being available in the UK, I've been in touch with severallego employees over the last week and all have told me that they would've heard about any and all promos available for 30th Sep going into Oct. I hope beyond hope they're all wrong but realistically it would appear we're not getting 2x VIP points, any SW promo minifigures, the only giveaway slated for Oct is the London bus polybag :(
-
Yes, Vader is the same as final duel apart from the new style cloak.
-
Okay, so I've finally got the time to pick through the minifigures in the 'new' Death Star 75159. Here is my breakdown of what's what with the minifigures, (I'm using BL mfg numbers): NEW 1. Grand Moff Tarkin (I know the head and hair has been used in the Rebels set, but I'm still counting this as a new minifig). 2. Princess Leia. 3. Death Star Trooper. 4. Death Star Droid. 5. Imperial Astromech. 6. Imperial Officer (LBG). 7. Imperial Officer (BLK). 8. Dianoga (LOVE this little creature! great use of the long horns in reddish brown). UPDATED 1. Luke Skywalker (Tatooine) So this is basically 551 but it has the head from 635 so technically different. 2. Luke Skywalker (Stormie Disguise) new face and hair. 3. Han Solo - LOVE the new hair. 4. Han Solo (Stormie Disguise) new face and hair. 5. Darth Vader - Okay so this is just 636 from 75093, but it does have the new style cloak so I'm guessing it'll be classed as 636a? 6. Emperor Palpatine - The same as above for 634 / 634a. 7. Royal Guard - Again the same as the last two so I'm guessing it will be listed as 521a. 8. Interrogation Droid - 211a with a new syringe, so perhaps 211b? OLDIES 1. Luke Skywalker (Duel) 635. 2. Chewbacca 532. 3. Obi-Wan Kenobi 552. 4. R2-D2 Lavender dot 527a. 5. C-3PO 700. 6. Stormtrooper 585. 7. Death Star Gunners 529. 8. Mouse Droid 156. Okay, so if there are any mistakes in the list please let me know, but from what I can see this is what we're getting in 75159, hope this helps for anyone unsure whether this is worth getting for the minifigs, I know it has helped me... First day purchase!

As a diehard SW minifugures collector I've it been too interested in the last dozen or so pages of discussion as I've eagerly awaited official confirmation of the minifugures lineup, but now the painful truth is sinking in... Of the 23 (not taking duplicates into account) figs in this picture it appears that 13 of them are either available in previous sets or can be made from parts in previous sets and only ten of them are 'new' but again around half of these ten are only new due to a new hairpiece, hat or back print. I hope I am wrong and there are hidden print and parts that we cannot yet see (like a possible new print for back of sidious' head that I think can be seen on the back of the box). Even small details like updating the mouse droid would've been nice to see, and what is going on with the Dianoga? It looks horribly like a neck and eye only! :(
-
Now I'm worried we won't be seeing official pics until a few days before, if TLG are at all concerned that the new DS is going to Insult on Hoth 2.0 then they won't want 'us' having too long to fill up the internet with negativity about their new 'flagship' set before it's release :( Again, the minifig line up does sound good, but I'm just worried that TLG are losing their touch with opportunities like this, sure 10188 was a nice build, but there have been so many advances in parts and techniques since, I'll be very disappointed if it is just a lazy remake. Bring on the pictures!
-
As predominantly a minifigure collector (I was never interested in 10188 as to me they already looked outdated when released) I am VERY happy with this line up, especially since seeing the leaked new parts for Han's hair, Luke's new hair, Leia's new prints etc I am very hopeful for some truly excellent classic characters! I am also looking forward to seeing what they do with a new Dianoga and interrogation droid, personally I'm hoping for the new parts used to make balloons in the new city sets, but in black with printing on them. As for the price, none of should be surprised at this point, and yes, the extra 200 parts are likely to all be LBG cheese wedges used to round off the square edges on 10188, but hey, what can you do? I'm hoping for an official release tonight as it is a month to the day it will be available for VIP access, and all the other reveals are out of the way, c'mon TLG please put us out our misery.

Having just compared the new U-Wing images to the leaked Lego U-Wing I can see that it will definitely have moving wings, for one the engines on the real ship almost touch each other, there is very little space between them, on the model there is a significant gap, this would only be there because it has to allow for a wing 3x plates in thickness to pass between them. It would be nice if there was an X-Wing style turning mechanism but considering where the pivot points appear to be and the fact that it has to cover around 120 degreesI can't imagine how this would work... it could be manual but connected to each other so as you pull one back the other mirrors it? I can't wait to get my hands on these! (but I'd be happy with some better images for now ;)
