Yes that one!!! Sets were simpler and cheaper back then!

Well either way with episode VIII around the corner, there's another chance we would see another Millennium falcon suited for that movie's characters. I have the last two recent ones, the 2011 and the 2015 version, I built the 2015 and used the radar dish from the 2011 version and it still looks boss, I mean what more can they update the falcon to? Plus they still haven't released a Star Killer/death star sized playset from the movie or the Star Destroyer FInalizer's sized from the 2014 star destroyer, so many sets left to do. Plus the Rogue One after movie releases, I know we will get a set with Jynn Erso's dad since I want him, Krennic is already super cool, maybe they'll release a death star miniset in the future, this line will get crazy, but if they do redo the 10179, I am so selling some older sets to make room for that beast.

Has anyone tried this look with Yularen from ANH? IMG_1336

Even though I saw the height of the pirates era, I only got a few sets, at the time my parents thought that spending more that 40 bucks on a set was too much so I never really got the bigger ones, but now more than anything I am glad I got the whole entire 2015 wave, back in 2009 I remember seeing them at TRU and almost bought the ship of that wave but I wasn't into Lego at that time, what made me start was losing my first baby to the point I bought the entire Kingdoms waves when they were out and saved them just in case I had another. Honestly I love pirates, it's my favorite theme of all time from Lego and still feel kind of bummed out by the fact that it didn't do so good, I can still find the entire wave and buy them at retail but that's my next step in getting another ship. I am hoping POTC revitalizes the interest in the line again, but guys/gals after seeing the positive buzz from the teaser, I will save my money to get these sets from day 1! I know the new movie is a soft reboot but I hope Barbossa still sports the QAR, and maybe Lego will update it along with the Pearl, and finally the Flying Dutchman since it's in the trailer.

Frankly I kind of was hoping to see the pirate line continue on, since TLG was on to something, too bad it didn't take off like they wanted to, but in all reality people are flipping out in a good way about this film already on facebook trends. Since this is a soft reboot I honestly hope Barbossa still has the Queen Anne's Revenge and maybe if they could release the pearl and an update version of the QAR, but who knows, you can clearly see the dutchman in the background also.

Can't remember the name but it was the golden age of those 4.99 lego sets with the pirate and the treasure, that's all they could buy me until christmas of 94 they got me the Black seas barracuda. haven't kept up with pirates until the line last year, I practically have two of each set but the ship itself.

I just came here to post the same exact thing, I regret selling my Queen Anne's Revenge now... My question is does Lego still have the POTC License? lol

Yes!!! The same guys were at the toys r us I formed the line for Force Friday! Everyone in the line was schocked to see them there in the first place, mostly just kids, but it was kind of funny to hear vader breath and have the stormies say hi to everyone who came in the store! San Antonio Lego at North Star Mall. Cool store, my only pet peeve is they enforce Lego policies too much, I asked for the distribution box for the death star and they declined no matter how much I begged the store manager, I told them I got mine like that the last time also, but they played dumb.

IMG_1317 IMG_1315 The 501st came over before it opened: IMG_1296 Only reason I bough the Imperial Shuttle was for Krennic, I love bad guys, call me crazy but the empire are the good guys: IMG_1314 Call me Crazy but I think was the only one who actually bought a Death Star on my store all day, there was only one and I got it, but they never restocked the shelf when I went back: IMG_1322 IMG_1323 IMG_1324 IMG_1325 IMG_1326 Aside from being the original you can still see the quality difference, this is the original packaging of the death star: IMG_1327 Look at the new, they only did half and just threw like all the bags in there, but i do like the manual has it's own box: IMG_1329 I don't know much about Lego Star wars but I finally made the Yularen seen by the elevator scene with the hat piece with the imperial officers in this death star, I have only seen this variant in gray: IMG_1336 On other news, on Missing bricks the death star practically has all the minifigures for pick up, even the new han solo piece, managed to get two extra's. It was an awesome weekend, three revans and one FO general. love it.

Honestly I am surprised they haven't done a Tantive IV interior set for the intro of A new hope. They could expand into a PT or OT with Vader searching for the secret plans plus ST and Rebel soldiers or make it a transport for Senator Organa heading back with Leia to Aldeeran.

woo hoo same thing I was suprised to see it shipped so fast also!!!

I got three revan's, one being shipped from S@H, but bought my Death Star at first for the first polybag, then around noon called them and asked if they had more and they did, when I got there it was deserted, got lucky with the other clerk that was here this morning and got another one! Forming the line they were a couple of employees off today to get in the store for Force Friday deals, according to them they only had 100 bags come in.

Just got this bad boy!!! love it! I just got this for the Krennic minifigure, but so far they are pretty awesome

yeah they told me they didn't get any posters in at all for mine either, it's a toys r us nationwide thing, they took our name down for the list, so when they do come in, we can pick it up. I did not know that Revan was just for "any" purchase now I know why everyone wants those battle packs. Next milestone for me is to get the tickets early, "again"

My TRU had free Rogue one shirts and posters, I got my Krennic's Imperial ship and the First Order General!

So if we order the death star online, do we automatically get into the drawing for the bonus set?

hey so, is the keychain available in the US?

yes it supposed to be, the lego website has gone downhill since the update, there's massive lag everywhere.

I took a snapshot of it in case they try to say it's limited, the website hasn't been update yet anyways.

I just want the death star and the Krennic imperial shuttle.

uh yeah, screw force friday, theres like 5 people before i left the mall at the lego store, at the local toys r us has at least 7 people, that just means that by the time i get out work darth revan would be sold out. FML

For the record those who were asking about VIP points, in perspective it is like if you buy the death star =499$ will give you about 20usd to spend, double vip will make it 40$. Triple will make it 60$. Last year it was boss to have VIP since you could use it all in one purchase but TLG CHANGED it so now you can only use a portion of those points on a purchase(not all of them) the clerks can tell you the math behind it, but I had close to 150.00 usd to spend on a set which I was ready to pay and fork out the points, the clerk shot me down by saying they could only use 115 bucks off the VIP and I was so pissed. Either way if you guys have a lego store nearby, start forming the line before they open, they are rumors on star wars scalpers on how they plan to get super early and snag however many figures they have left. I do know they don't have that many death stars available.

Call me crazy but one of the biggest pet peeves of mine on reviewers is how the double sided face print is always taken backwards... I just wish they did take both of them with the two faces.

I just got the catalog extension in the mail with the Rogue one sets and Death Star promo for the star wars force friday deals and dammit Lego, I hate you. I want that Darth Revan and will strive to get the Death Star and more than anything, I am soooo tempted on getting Krennic's Imperial Shuttle just because I love bad guys XDDD IMG_1032 on Flickr IMG_1033 on Flickr IMG_1034 on FlickrIMG_1035 on Flickr
