Has any used the printed Stormie legs on the CW Clones? I want to use them for Rex and want to know if they would look alright or if the belts wouldn't match up? -
thanks for those high res pics. The creator line looks amazing, I like how they finally decided to include figs in the sets, I wonder why they don't use trees and regular dogs over brickbuilt, but I guess it is creator. They all look great and will fit in my City nicely

Thank you whitefang for a great review. Price seems reasonable to me ($20) ? 4 new figs, loads of new and extra accessories and a decent brick selection, plus a rowboat. In fact I think it is under priced this set could have been $30 easily. Wait a minute has SW pricing brainwashed me and now all other sets seem like a great value? the pearl coins are a blatant travesty well said.

The UCS SSD looks very good from the picture we have gotten, thanks! I never appreciated the UCS SD, that was until I saw it in person on display in a shop last week, it was huge and very impressive, and I was shocked at how big it actually was, (as was the UCS DS II). I will be interested to see this one completed and has given me a new appreciation for these sets. As mentioned the inclusion of figs is questionable but I like it, bonus figs, IG-88 appears to be redone in the new Pearl Black color first used in Kingdoms, and it looks really good. Not sure if Dengar and the Imp. Officer are new though? Vader and Bossk are blah, I wanted my Slave 1 set I forked out a pretty penny for to stay w/those exclusive figs for a long time. Sure this is a large and most likely high priced set but still. This leaves me to wonder, besides Echo Base, what other SW sets are left for this year?
-
Agreed As for the battle packs, I wonder if the lack of AOTC sets is because of the CW, (which it most likely it is) It is a bit frustrating because I want to see a large potential of sets from EP2. Jango Fett's Slave 1 $80 New Jango Fett, new young boba, new flesh EP2 Obi wan, landing pad fight area & of course slave 1. Geonosis Battle scenes, various sets or one larger condensed play set. flesh normal print count dooku, new jango fett, mace windu, new droideka, SBDs, new padme, anakin and obi etc.

Hi I never noticed this nice topic I think I qualify, member x4 years, post count x10 200, and not sure how to check percentage, but I think I should get it.

Yeah try Bricklink and Ebay, I would say Bricklink is usually on the cheaper side. Also like Brickdocter said some stores might have them, I was at TRU and they still had the 2008 AAT. I think it was discontiuned last year so it is not that strange and there are always those "gems" to be found. Very reasonable prices for the Attack Shuttle, same as MSRP I think last time I checked. The AT-TE has gone up about $50 though. The Gunship is lower in price because there was a redesign, I was lucky to get the 08 one for a good price (w/o figs).

Very true, $31 price tag but I think it is worth it. -

If Gree was made as a Minifig, what shade of LEGO green would his markings be? - Green - Dark Green - Sand Green I might buy this custom, but I think they have the colors wrong? (nicest Gree custom I have seen, the hand painted helmet looks flawless) -
I haven't bought the Dropship/AT-OT set just yet, I did pick up the RGS as I mentioned off BL for a decent price. I am waiting (holding off) for a double points VIP day so I can get 500+ points ($25 gift card reward). Otherwise in the future I have a feeling when its discontinued it will be over $500.

LEGO store was sold out of Series 4 sadly However a worker said come back Tuesday. At walmart I did buy 7913 on sale for $9 though Both BPs were on sale, at first I noticed there was only one Mando BP left, I starting looking in between the surrounding sets, and there I found the hidden clone one Just the other day the shelves were stuffed with them 50-100, all gone for sale though.
-
That is not the point though, if that was true, Vader should have printed legs and arms then. However I do like when it remains something not done everyday or in every set. Or a mod (or another member) for example could start a new topic with the first post (s) with the ideas so far in a list w/ no additional blah like: Hoth Battle EP2 Slave 1 etc

CW: $Free (like TRU polybag promo w/purchase) -$200 Some set that incorporates a Camo ARF w/printed arms & legs

When did your collection reach critical mass?
Piranha replied to Arigomi's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I really don't know where I am at last time I checked my brickset page it was 25,000 parts. But it has grown since then -

So is there any other pics or upcoming events where the summer SW sets will be featured at or is the NY Toy Fair the only one? -
Yes I agree, we need more scaled capital ships. What are the Venator and ISD supposed to have a space battle with? A good start would be Home One or Generic Mon Calamari Cruiser $100-200 1000 + parts Invisible Hand or similar CIS captial ship $100-200 1000+ parts

Well time for a shameless double post I picked up 7676 RGS off Bricklink. It was a used copy. It was missing the figs, but that is ok as the only one of interest to me was Commander Cody, and he is in a summer set. It was in used new condition, many polybags & set bags still unopened. Instructions yes, but I skipped the box to save on shipping. I got it for about $140. Which I think is a good deal. Thanks for helping decide everyone. I will wait until winter though to get the Dropship, (Double Points Day on BF ) Now I just need clone pilots (which are pricey on BL, ouch) and some clones and a commander, Rex maybe, but probably Wolffe this summer. And a few of the new BPs. I owned the first RGS back in 2002 and though it was really awesome, can't wait to see how this one is.

7676 RGS

Thanks However I am not going to lie, I am disappointed. I would have preferred a Camo or a Chrome one. I think I am going to pass on it, a Shadow ARF is ok IMO there is no reference to one anywhere though, there isn't really any sets I want until the summer to spend the $75 on.

well I got my first copy of 8014 before it goes expensive

Unless TLG based him before he lost his eye in the series? Or is the Republic Frigate after? -
I don't read German, so what does that source say? Does that person have one? I am skeptical of it.

Interesting, any pics of the promo images ? Oh wait I think I see it, the helmet printing yeah? So from that the only difference is the helmet? I have a feeling TLG just used two wolf pack troopers at the Toy Fair as stand ins, who would know the difference but us anyway? And hopefully like the Republic Cruiser where some sets, Qui Gon had an obi Wan head in the set (but it was really a qui gon) , we get a real Wolffe. -

Piranha replied to XimenaPaulina's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Agreed. New question. Is Commander Wolffe any different from the Wolfpack trooper in helmet or torso printing or is the only difference one has ARC Gear? Sad the Republic Frigate is the Republic Diplomat Ship rehashed in a new color scheme with a hefty price tag. I hope the three jedi fetch good prices on BL to make up for the extra cost. I hope we see more Commanders in the future, so far we only have Cody, Rex & Fox for sometime, Gree would be nice.
