Vader's TIE would have sold bundle if only with was shipped as is, I don't get the interest Lego planned with a Rebels a-wing combo with a weird color scheme. It's not like kids are gonna jump for joy seeing an a-wing, especially one from rebels which serves as pure cannon fodder. Meanwhile Vader had two very nice sequence in his TIE from rebels, from blowing most of their fleet alone and slowly getting down on malachor while standing on top of it. A lot of potential with Rebels but mix average sets with an average show, source material is not gonna save you.

I watched a couple Freemakers episodes out of morbid curiosity and it's aimed at 7 years old. The ''humor'' is terrible. But yeah as for future Rebels sets they would have to fix a couple things, notably the mini-figs. - Sabine is the worst mini-fig rendition Lego has made and continues to make so far: She's supposed to be a tan skinned young mandalorian, but in mini-fig form she looks like a middle aged white soccer mom, and they don't even include her helmet in most sets she appeared in. Ezra and Zeb are almost as bad: wrong skin color, hair and the torso print is really simple. It's strange because they fixed Kanan after he was released with black hair and the skin tone is on point. Hera is also a very good mini-fig. Kind of hard for a meh set to make a come back when your mini-figs are really not interesting.

I agreee that both the Tie prototype and AT-DP were solid; the small storm trooper transporter BP was also nice if you did not mind the frown, but as for the rest they are either un interesting or completly over priced. Even the inclusion of Thrawn is shady in the phantom 2.0, I know Lego is very ehtical amongst big companies but c'mon the only reason people will get this is Thrawn and they decided to price this horribly.

Looks like I was a bit off target hahaha, but hey it was based only from the poster! I like the all black outfits though.

"Let’s face it, it’s a B-wing and as such not exactly missing from LEGO’s portfolio history. Also, B-Wings have proven to be not the most popular products in stores, to say the least. Still, this one is RED and a new design, right? Yeah well, our big customers are not particularly keen on selling anything from REBELS, red or not. - Hans Burkhard Schlömer http://brickset.com/article/26170/competition-brickstory The sub-theme is tanking.

I think we can all agree a Tie Bomber is everyone's wet dream right now. ( wouldn't spit on a good old regular Tie too, or an interceptor at that, it's been forever :( I hope Rogue One sets have been selling well, I definitly want so see more of them in the future, it's not like they are missing content from the movie ''cough'' TFA ''cough''. I also like the fact we now have a peusdo official confirmation Rebels isn't selling, the theme produced a few good sets but it's really not popular.

800??! Jesus Christ what a legend hahaha. I've got around 316 of them officially, I may have 12 loose I did not added yet.

From the looks of it, it looks really grounded in classic ninja visual style of the 80's. Which is a realy good thing, I think the theme is not at it's strongest with silly sci-fi.

You mean they don't have angry clone faces? Mines are fine, although I just have 3 of them.

Did you spot any mini-fig with dual molded legs or arms?

That's interesting for sure, were there many of them?

Well I'm not really discussing general currency logic but Lego's pricing pattern: the A-wing is 79,99 in australia, so is the AT-ST, which is sold at 49,99 CAN. Euro prices includes taxes too, here you must add 15% to the final price.

The only issue with Gallidor it that it's already infamous, and don't get me wrong it deserves the flak but it's been pretty much ripped apart at this point. Scala looks interesting, some kind of desperate attempt by Lego to ripp off Barbie, I admire the effort. Znap looks really promising and must have tanked so hard by the looks of it: overly simplistic and so bland. And one of the bikes makes me think of this.

They are nice little characters with their charm but I can't get the fact over that they are kind of a funko pop ripp off. Kids can't really play with those figs either unlike constraction figures. I dunno, I think they kind of only have appeal towards adults that want some neat little characters to display around. I may be the minority here that's not excited one bit about these

Number of pieces doesn't = final price. The U-wing has a lot of big pieces in it and when the wings are deployed it's insanely huge.

https://shop.lego.com/en-US/Y-Wing-Starfighter-75172 For you skeptics out there! ( I really was expecting something 25$ more expensive )

If you are Canadian the VIP points comes really handy: the amount you get is applied before taxes ( which is roughly 15% ).

Waaaaayyy back CM4 told us Scariff was 49,99$ US, which translates to 60$ CAN, which honestly isn't that terrible. But looking at both Takodana and Encounter on Jakku my guess is 59,99$$ US and 74,99 CAN which is not good at all. Maybe Lego having to put reductions on these two to sell them was a lesson. My educated guess on the A-wing is 39,99 US and 49,99 CAN. Honestly right now UK's got some pretty rotten deals since the price increase: that Phantom 2.0 is ridiculous over there.

I think the Y-wing is gonna be the only reasonnably priced set of this wave BPs excluded. Let's brace ourselves for the A-wing and Scariff price reveal.

12,99 $ US, I don't know for CAN but most likely 15,99$.

Very good news guys! The Y-wing will be priced at 59,99$ US and 74,99$ CAN, very reasonable! The sets began surfacing on the e@shop.

May or may not be SW related but here's the lego store calendar, with a sweet double VIP points for people who wants to pick up a few new SW sets. Now on with the question: any clue towards what's the early access about new sets on march 17?

Both the Frigate and the Infiltrator full price? Ouch! I really don't consider them in high regard for what you're actually paying for these two.

It's definitly some sort of grip to swoosh it around. Hopefully it's balanced enough to make it stand on it's own but good catch on spotting it. I also spotted that it looks like we ain't getting two plain FO stormies in the next battle pack, one of those is the same heavy gunner varaint we got in the last version. ( you can see the back chest straps on the cover ).

Because in the drawing this is inspired from she was not wearing any.
