7 to 12 weeks here in New Zealand to get parts on average. it was 4-8 weeks :(

It could be from the aprit fools thing, heck I don't know, thought it was worth passing on anyhow

Umm seen this pic today.... Ucs Falcon

The rumors from good leakers here in the forum and that grin on her face says it all to me, I'm saving beastmodez now :D

Re Ucs falcon rumors, People in the know here in NZ say that stores cant order or have any info at all about it etc, so either a no go, or lego store exclusive?

see the investors think they are safe :D old set is good if you wont want one that's more screen accurate :D cant wait

to the new ucs speeder... nom nom nom nom!! now for the falcon :D :D

Hey thanks for the tips lads, its a rather iconic set I cant believe it has taken me this long to try and snuffle one to be honest

Any info on the ucs sets this year :) and are we going to get another Barge, asking due to the new skiff this year coming out.... and the other sets bounty hunters,quad etc etc :D :D look forward to the info

Question for you gurus :D I'm looking at grabbing a sail barge but looking at both, the first 2006 set looks fantastic, but the figs are abit so so, the later more modern set, the barge with the cannon in the front just looks wrong :/ but the figs are awesome. what did many of you guys do in the end? or what did you prefer ?

Jangbricks just did a review today for the R2 polybag

Man that's crappy, some of the best sets of the bunch :/ I'm guessing it might be the same in New Zealand, Im yet to see any of those sets in stores here

well they could cover both to a degree, as such many of the popular star wars figs are in large sets or in the case of the UCS SSD and the Death-star very large sets, so perhaps by bringing these figs out in battle packs but perhaps the printing is different, or they wont get the full arms printing treatment etc they can cover both markets... The hard-cores will want both, the young lad and people that just want them to get all the different personal from star wars can get the battle packs. food for thought... and sorry off topic

I winder if the bounty hunters pack is a trend and we might see a jedi pack etc etc, Is Lego marketing trying to make it more accessible to get harder minifigs to help fight the clone knock off figs?

Hey ya Kev, thanks loads for the info :) the bounty hunter set? look like reprints of the UCS SSD figs or new printing? thanks again
