Brickset has all of the latest sets on their front page. An embargo on official news....

That robot looks pretty FREACKING fantastic. Those prints and head molds are mighty fiiiiine! Also pay a close look at Jyn's hat piece, it has a dual molded silver ear piece on the side.

I was really hoping for 110 CAN for Krennic Shuttle... Btw can anyone tell me where are all the official prices are? They are not listed on bricklink yet, at least in CAN. Thanks!

The next sets to be retired are the ones marked with the rebels and stormtrooper box art: Tydirium shuttle, droid carrier, Gozanti class cruiser, flash speeder and so on. Grab that lambda class shuttle whenever possible if you don't already have it.

No idea, the empire ranking codes are a mess. By the color of the uniform he's a ground forces something officer.

Any links towars that press release? That statement about the new set that will motivate owners of the original model is beyond silly.

Well hello there Bricklink, you come here often? Thanks for the high res pics CM4!

BrickDoctor stated that there is an embargo on the sets until september 30th . So I guess we can't post them. And yeah, those are prints on the Tie fighter pilot helmet, the figure is the same one used in the UCS Tie except no arm prints.

September first yeah, coming from zusammengebaut.

Well now I know what kind of nightmare I'll have. Nice job on the model and articulation, but this is horrifying Hahahaha!

I hope you are joking??

Really neat on Lego's part, and a nice incentive for Rogue One. Anyone remembers if they did a double VIP points event for the release of Force Awakens?

Nah that would be 25$. Anyhow I would be amazed if someone would buy this before the VIP points event 2 weeks later, you'd save 50$. The calendar is released october 1 though, doesn't seem to fit with the early acces.

Double VIP points for october and a free calendar, all in conjunction for the RO wave? Damn! Thanks Lego! Oh and CM4, you have any idea on that 20$ gift you get by purchasing the Death Star in one of the promo for the set?

A mix of that and the "bend over" taxes. Is light bley an expensive color to produce or am I missing something else?

Even with inflation there is a solid 60$ added to the thing.

- Lars' homestead on Tatooine - The Yavin 4 base. - Dagobah's cave of trials. Ship wise I have no idea, pretty much everything has been done.

I did not get any of the new Hoth sets either except for the smaller attack on hoth. And wait for a discount for that thing, it's really over priced for what it is and I don't imagine it's flying off the shelves. Worst case scenario at least wait for double VIP and promo.

C3-PO doesn't even have side prints? Jesus christ...

That Tie Advanced mini is even worse than the last one. Wow. I really hope Jangbricks or another reviewer will do a side by side review of both things, because that designer video is gonna be early Christmas for sure.

Figure looks great, some people are complainning about the cape but I think it's just the way it was put on that detracts from the looks. Also not so sure about the dark tan. Isn't his character more have greyish hair?

I think too that the theme sells well, maybe except for the ultimate figures that are quite expensive. The castle on threads looked cool on launch and a lot of kids would go for it, and it wasn't insanely priced. But overall I can't get a grip on that theme, I don't like the color scheme and characters. The villains are the only midly interesting thing offered and they are already getting very stale; Lava and Rock monsters next? Aren't they already very similar? I don't even think the other products like the game and TV show are that succesfull, I watched a couple episodes and some gameplay and it left me cold. But realistically speaking I think we are stuck with that theme, and for a good while sadly.

So basically Sean Murray works for Lego now?

Mini-figs are clearly better nowadays, I played with the first star wars Lego sets as a kid and characters like Vader and Fett have been vastly improved. The old ones have that blocky charm, sure, but ugh that yellow skin tone....

I really like this! Particulary the micro U-Wing, this mini build is brilliant :)
