Hi, i have no idea if there was already a Topic about my following Question(s)? : I´m wondering if it would be possible to open a LEGO-Store (a "physical"Store, not BL!) on your own (terms of money beside) and sell like loose Bricks/ Minifigs but also new Sets (current and maybe out of print ones) or is it something that TLG would prohibit? I mean could be be a problem to part out sets (bought as a retailer then) sell the loose Bricks and the Minifigs on their own (i´m thinking of maybe license-issues for certain Themes)? Anybody had any Experience about it?

The sets are now available at shop@home Germany! Honestly i've expected another pricerange,the funhouse for example is 49.99€,i thought they convert the US-prices 1:1!

I guess when it comes to the price-point of Jabba's Palace you shall not forget the size of the Jabba-Figure himself! If you look at the current Dino-sets and their price range i would they that they are kinda pricey because of the Dinos included,so i guess that the Jabba-Figure will def.bring the price up! I'm pretty sure that TLG don't count him as a simple minifig!

I'm wondering how long Obi's UCS starfighter 10215 will be on the shelves! It seems like for the MSRP it's not really selling well,so could it be that they stop the production soon? Somehow i feel like this could be a set that goes up in value when discontinued what do you all think?

What a lovely interpretation of Luke´s Landspeeder!!! I totally don´t care about the "thickness", somehow the first thing that came into my mind when i saw the speeder was animated series:`the jetsons´! I love this "old school-feeling" this MOC delivers! Nice work!

This may sound crazy, and i hope i´m 100% wrong but can it be possible, that the whole line is a US-exclusive? As far as i know Comic-Books are not even 1% popular as they are in the US, and we haven´t heard of the Europe Prices so far, so i thought to myself, what if they are US-Exclusiv????

I guess i'm not the first asking this,but when do we usually get pics from the upcoming UCS-sets?

This seller is also offering a lot incl. the riddler/poison ivy/batman/joker figs! So if you´re looking for pics from that new riddler go check it!

That´s my guess too when i´ve opened the threat! When looking at reissued Star-Wars Minifigs i just discovered that the current Version always seems more appealing than the old one (for example General Grievous)! Maybe this is a bad Example since the latest Version is a completely new mold, maybe not...

You´ve forgot to mention one huuuuge Improvement: Flick-Fire Missiles all over

I´m curious to see if/how the new Batman-line is gonna effect the prices of the old ones!

Hi there, quite not sure if it belongs here or in the general Forum, but i´m asking myself if the (mostly) ridiculous after-market prices for the Batman Minifigs will go down when the ´12 line arrives? I´m asking especially regarding the Figs that will be updated (Batman; Poison Ivy...). Any Experiences with other licensed Themes (Star Wars)?

Pure awesomness!!!! Any chances that there will be some kind of instructions, or partslist added??? Would love to build one for myself! I was just thinking that maybe a few Chrome-pieces could even add more awesomness to this MOC, like Chrome Grilles; Antenna...

It's ridicolous how the price for the dish exploded! I bought one almost 2month ago for about 3$ from BL(of course it was new),and now the prices start at 14something? It seems like since this thread was opened a lot of people started bricklinking the MF! Glad i started ahead of time.

I don´t think they gonna re-release this beast in the next few years! Before they re-release the MF i´m pretty sure the would first for a re-release of the UCS X-Wing (it´s way older, with a lot of out-dated pieces)! If you wanna rebuild the MF keep in mind, that (in fact you wanna save money) most of the (expensive) Technic-Bricks won´t be visible in the finished Model! You can save big on these Bricks using other Colours or used ones! As far as i know the customer service doesn´t have the boat mast rigging in stock! At least this is what they´ve told me a few weeks ago (i paid serious money on BL for them!!!)! I don´t know if a "true-collector" would do that but i went that way: i bought current sets (always bargains from several sources) sold the minifigs on Ebay or BL and took the pieces from the set that i´ve needed for the MF. If you calculate well, and check the prices you will get a lot of sets "for free" trough selling the minifigs! I know it´s a hustle but it works!

Thanks a lot for all the good ideas! I guess i´ll try alcohol first, since heat seems to dangerous for use on such a expensive lego-part!

hi there i have a (rare) trans clear canopy from the ucs x-wing, well when i bought it it had all the stickers applied, unfortunately the side sticker where half off, so i´ve decided to remove them (it just looked silly). the top sticker is still applied. well since the stickers were there for a long time they´ve left a lot of glue on the canopy that i would like to remove. since this is a pretty rare (expensive) party i wanna clean it as smooth as possible without spoiling the remaining top-sticker, any suggestions?

As far as i heard some versions of the 10030 came with a mixture of old greys and bleys. But was there also a "official"version completely in bley? That would make a good (new) BL-goal after finishing the falcon!

Thanks ! When i look at the current BL-Prices i guess it´s a pretty decent deal! Especially regarding the fact that the seller incl. the Dagobah X-Wing set for free (!), this one is easily going for min.50€ on BL!

I thought i would share it within the (Lego) Star-Wars Community that´s why i´ve posted it here. But if i´m wrong could any mod please move this to the right place?

Hi there, i just had to share one lucky "Lego-moment" within the community . I just received the package of a won Ebay-auction, it includes Cloud-city AND 4502 ! Both of them asembled but adult owned (only a little dusty), both of them incl. Boxes and Instructions (in great condition) and of course incl. all the original Minifigs (Yes printed Boba too!!!) and guess what i´ve paid 250€ together! Please tell me that was a bargain, wasn´t it?

You should rename this topic in:"rumours&speculations"! I don't understand why everybody posts his speculation about the 2012 sets in here,it's hard to read trough 22 pages with speculations but only 2-3 pics about confirmed sets!

Those minifigs looks awesome!!! I'm curious to know,what in what sort of set they will add Queen Amidala?! Well the Tie-fighter looks ok,don't like the canopy at all but i see a lot of usefull pieces

Hi there,i also thought these trans-light blue tiles(those are what you meant right?)were exclusive to the set,but it seems like these are average trans-light blue tiles! So no substitutions I've bricklinked all the "official"pieces,it works!

I've also missed out this awesome set(mid of my dark ages),so i went online to check the inventory. I've had almost 1500 pieces of the set at home,so i've started bricklinking the missing parts,well it was a good choice! There are some rare parts that cost me like 10€ a piece,but most of the parts are really common! At all i've spent about 400€ for the missing 3500 pieces,i'm thinking of also buying the original sticker&instruction book! So if you're looking forward for this set,go and bricklink!!! You will spend about 600€ for the pieces,i guess that's ok!
