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

Dang I saw the Advent calendar marked for sale but didn't look to much into it and now i regret it, it was like 5 bucks off but they had like 2 or three left at Toys R Us. Either way I will wait for the Death Star until double vip October, I always get my larger sets that way, racks the point way faster than buying one by one, especially with Darth Revan as a promo XDDD

So would this warrant easier finding at Disney theme parks? I know Disney has a policy to never have any sold out on their counters, but seeing how this set is the most wanted set this year is insane. Lego has a no hold set policy, this lady left the store to get the cash from the atm, there was a couple who showed interest on it and the clerk asked his boss on holding sets, he refuted that no, they can't hold it, and the couple who wanted the set ended up buying it instantly. I didn't stick around for the poor woman who went for the money but I can sure you it didn't go well.

Will this forum be finally mobile friendly?

Isn't Double VIP next month? I'm hoping to get everything starwars then

The problem with the Hoth set was the subsequent smaller sets that are identical, it was clearly obvious that Lego designed the UCS set first but their mistake was double dipping on the smaller sets based off it. The Death Star, although the ultimate Lego set, I think everyone was hoping for a new rehaul or update of this set, what we got was the complete opposite, they could have gotten rid of decal's, updated more components from it, and above all made a better throne room for Palpatine considering the final duel has newer and better pieces than the standard set. So many missed opportunities.

I love americana and the US capitol is one of many buildings I love, although the Lego release is not really bad, it's like the White House, I had to buy two sets to make it more complete since I understand they take some shortcuts to make it work,plus if the US capitol was complete it would have been double the price. This the Lego vs the PUZZ 3d for the overall similar look, I have a super detailed US capitol Puzzle, but it would have taken me hours to assemble it just to compare.

Just got the Capitol, at first I didn't mind the back being cut off, but now, I'm pissed, they practically split it in half from the side, and the back is just 8x1 bricks, I haven't had a chance to mess with it, but I skimmed the manual. Thing is you need two of these sets to complete the back in some way which is easy but still, and can understand the sacrifice Lego did, but oh well, I have to figure out how to get another 100 bucks easily

I was going to insert this tag line, it's like saying Hey: "You have the original set, re buy it again!!!" then again who are to know better than Lego, I am secretly saving my money to get this set though. This is how lazy they have become; you can see the DUST on the original press release, which should say enough about this UCS: I am just happy I am finally getting the ultimate Grand Moff Tarkin mini figure with dual faces.
