Piranha

Thank you. They work well for generic pilots/drivers too bad on BL they are $8 +

Thank you, even if I did defeat the purpose of this topic I will try to save some money and look for a used one or one w/o figs.

I am with you guys on the very high possibility that it will be some form of an ARF Trooper. Just which one as mentioned? I am not going to lie I am hoping for a camo and/or printed arms/legs over a chrome one. It is fact that the promo is on May 3rd and May 4th, yes? For the people living in ""time zones that are far ahead respectively (for example Europe, etc) should be able to get one 12hrs to days ahead so it would be safe to assume that we will know what it is before we buy for us living in the US? Thank you for those buying early I wonder how many per LEGO store there will be? I am guessing 100-500?? Which isn't really alot, even if you need to spend $75 to get it.

In the Dropship set a clone pilot is "driving" the AT-OT, is that accurate or would a gunner from the BP be better??

Well you guys convinced me and I decided to go with both

I am thinking of either a RGS Misb off BL for $250 or AT-OT & Dropship from the LEGO store for $250 What is the better value for the money? For the LEGO Store I would get $15 back in rewards. Has anyone tried to add a cargo or hanger to the dropship?

Congrats to the winners! And thank you KimT for such a great raffle! It was great fun, all the entries were great and some made me laugh which doesn't happen to often when I am reading on EB Looking forward to future ones!

I also wonder if they will do a new phase II helmet with a closed visor w/face (like a stormtrooper or current CW Clone) instead of the open face visor (like CW Clone and EP2 Clone). I am not sure which phase I like better Is there a picture of Rex in it? Good chance to get our hands on a 501st print helmet. I would say the third at the time they open, "free" exclusive SW fig is always a good thing. Now I think I will have to post in the what set should I buy thread to get $75 worth

LEGO designers spent hours toiling with modifying and correcting during a set design process and much "painstaking" work is involved () however we can all mod them as we please.

I also wonder if it will come in a polybag or is just a fig, most likely a polybag one, I wonder if the polybag will be opaque and have the image of the silhouette of the ARF, so you have to open to find out what the fig is? Chrome ARF, different printing, shadow will all be fine for me. Or something else possibly? It runs on May 3 and May 4 so two days??

Thanks I will do that for sure not risking it, (and on May 3rd or fourth)

SW sets only though, sadly and I don't know which one to get or if multiple SW purchases count (for example; 3 $25 set)s? I am going to ask the store if they have any left before I buy anything Is it one per person? or group pricing like $150 you get two, $300 you get four etc? That would be worth spending the money I need to buy the DS anyway, that is 4-5 of them +1 for those shopping online, (I am going in person for this baby ) I also wonder if like the chrome stormies ($13 or more to get one, BL is $10 +) the amount needed to get one will reflect aftermarket like $75 each?. edit: also since I am spending over $75 do I get the ice cube tray (mentioned at bottom) as well as the fig? edit 2: also it says May 3rd or Fourth, so you can get one on May the 3rd??

you bring up a good point, when will they stop producing it? (going on 3 years) I hope until the end of this year, I still need to get mine on the next double points day that set will probably cost over 5k some day on ebay and BL, must buy asap

I see the Death Star came out in 2008, I have decided to pick it up on black friday or sooner (hoping for double points day), think it will still be in production up to the end of the year?

As pointed out that is fake. TLG would have never referred to Boba Fett as a "cloud city boba" lol, that is just a Bricklink term to make people go crazy

Awesome I will be there seeing as I just moved and the LEGO store is very close now Is it as Black ARF or is that just a stand in or silhouette? and the real fig is something else?

Well some more EP3 ideas I posted this one in the BP thread but here again aswell 501st Battlepack $10-15 50-100 parts Includes 4 501st EP3 or Phase II Clone troopers. if TLG wants one of them to be Appo then that would be fine. They also could do 1-2 regular and 1-2 501st which would be ok but 4 is better. random BP parts vehicle turret or so. Bail Organa's speeder $20-50 100-300 parts includes Bail Organa's speeder, landing platform, Bail Organa, 1-3 501st Troopers and a generic jedi. Mustafar $50-100 500-1000 parts possibly various volcanic landscapes and the landing/structure areas, includes EP3 Anakin, Obi , Padme, possibly R2 and C3PO and maybe Anakin's JSF Kashyyyk Battle: $50-100 includes huts, trees, forest, wookie dragon flyer, swamp speeder or speederbike, walker or alike. CIS spider droid or other misc. figs include chewbacca, wookie warriors, tarful, yoda, 1-4 battle droids, commander gree, kashyyyk clones (green markings) or kashyyyk trooper with ARF helmet or so in sand green I would also like to see incorporated into some set a jetpack EP3 trooper like in BF2 with dark blue markings and a jetpack.

Hmm thanks! That is interesting out of all those I thought the new CTT would be the one (bah about aayla ) , guess not but I always liked the original better as long as I can get the non LUL mace version. I am stuck on the ARC and Tri-fighter, both are updated and built better, but I dislike the fig selection for the ARC. 3 plain clone pilots and the R2 unit would have been prefect instead we get 2 others. The new clone pilots are nice but the old ones are pretty good still (for a first attempt).

ebay gave me a 10% off coupon so I had to get something before the end of the month (have to get back as much fees as they charge ) plus ebay bucks 7661 MISB will end up paying about $75 $25 inflation is harsh for me but not too bad considering BL has them for $90 + shipping.

Hmmm debating on this problem. I am trying to complete my EP3 collection but need help in either picking the remakes or originals. Such as these: Clone Turbo Tank $100-250 used to new ARC-160 40-100 used to new Droid Trifighter 14-60 used to new whereas the new ones are $110, $60 and $25 I am not really a CW fan but the vehicles are very similar.

Perhaps the one I have always wanted to see since Battlepacks started 501st Legion Phase 2 (EP3) Clone Battlepack Includes 4 501st Legion Clones with Helmet, Torso (back/front), legs and possibly arm printing If TLG wants to make one of them Appo then that would be fine. Vehicle could be some random thing as usual My favorite BP vehicle was the BARC speeder.

I remember when they made scout troopers before Stormies back then Vader's legions were all scouties CW Clone, EP3 Clone & EP2 Clone are all fairly cheap, however I had 8 EP2 clones and sold them because I never really liked the design, I think the CW Clones are an improvement. However EP3 Clones IMO are still the best, LEGO please do a 501st Battle Pack. Hmm about the MINI instructions, can't seem to find any

I will have to start censoring my price figures because I might be stuck on the good old days Raphy any cloud city set would be great and I like the idea of multiple rooms or so in different sets. However no Boba I just bought the Slave 1 and him to stay exclusive to that set forever Unless LEGO includes him with the same printing as the first cloud city boba but on his blue arms/legs, then I will hate TLG and love them

well you never know what TLG is capable of I was out of OT ideas except for a Bothan.

That sounds surprisingly very likely Ideas: OT Yavin Rebel Base 500-1000 parts $50-100 Yavin Base, baseplate brickbuilt, control room, ceremony room, hanger area with X, A, B or Y - Wing , small little loader carts. Luke, Han, Leia Chewie, Rebels, Bothan spy, droid etc. EP3 Invisible Hand 1000-2000 + parts, $100-250 scaled like the Venator but hopefully a little bigger with better details and interior space. Bridge, duel area with chair, hanger, battle areas hallway possibly, tough to squeeze in lol, figs; new EP3 Anakin and Obi, new EP3 Count Dooku, new EP3 General Grievous, new EP3 Magna Guards, 1-2 SBDs, 1-5 battle or pilot droids for fodder, destroyer droid possibly but I am pushing it , and of course EP3 Palp. first EP3 Obi & Anakin were good but I think we need them w/o comlinks, their torsos updated and I never liked the hair piece on anakin. possibly a new mold needed. EP3 JSF's: $20-35 Dark Red, Yellow or Dark Blue or a new color one but I prefer the first three, space battle or separate sets w/vulture or tri fighter droids. Really need some more Phase II clones esp a 501st Legion one. Would also like a phase I one. just need one or two EP3 sets a year is fine for me
