    Yeah, looks similar. It’s like a miniature version of it.

    Maybe a fire station. Maybe a better train??? Other thoughts were a bus station... or... one that just popped into my head this evening... a gas/service station!? Lego has done many gas stations over the years (remember all the Octan gas stations, Simpson’s Kwik e mart, etc.?)... I could see one with the old style gas pumps (glass globe on top), a canopy over the pumps that is lined with x-mas lights... imagine!

    I also doubt that anyone bought the set for the card and not for the set. HOWEVER, a lot of us (myself included) stayed up late through the whole night and decided to spend our money on Day 1 in order to get the perk. There was someone on here that mentioned doing gymnastics with their finances to get it Day 1 instead of waiting (which I think is silly - but to each their own)... So while it didn’t change anyone’s mind to buy the set, it likely changed their mind of WHEN to buy the set. Which is a big deal when the set costs so much.

    Strange that they would release this close to the same time as the CC one. I know they are different price points, but you’d think they’d try to stagger similar scales of a ship more than a few months apart. Any idea why they are taking this approach?

    Totally different question, but has anyone heard or seen any information about when/where the muddy solo and the Kessel operative polybags will be made available? I feel like it’s been months since they were discussed and I’ve yet to see them for sale or as a promo.

    Just lost my mind. Very excited for the set! Bus leave one in cloud car are just as I had hoped... Maybe even better. The perfect scale for the set.

    Or the stolen transport shuttle “Rogue One”... still don’t understand why they didn’t make that one. or the Citadel tower... would have been easy to add some great play features. Ha. My collection is strictly limited to the non-yellow Star Wars figs (ie: post 2007 era) So this will be an easy pass... although cool to hear about and I’d love to see.

    I understand that. I feel that way in the Star Wars line. The Winter Village is one of those that only a few collectors got into until they realized it was going to be an “every year” thing vs. a “let’s try this for 3 years” thing. Having said that, I don’t mind rereleases as long as they don’t take away from new releases. It would be nice if they rereleased one (but only every so often) as others have mentioned.

    Yeah. I think it’s interesting that the praetorian guard and clone trooper battlepacks are legitimate sets. If I remember right, there was a rumor about them awhile back. I can see both being popular amongst fans...
  11. thorin
    Yeah. I get that. But I can still dream! I am glad that they continue to do a US Capitol, Statue of Liberty, flatiron, Guggenheim, etc. But I wish we got more European ones... Dont get me wrong, I’m American, but I’d like some diversity. I could see them doing the Colisseum at some point. I hope.
  12. thorin
    I had hoped they would rerelease it. No such luck.

    I’d love to see more of the types of sets that they did early on. Pivotal pieces in modern architecture. Bauhaus, Barcelona Pavillion, another FLW Home, etc. I also think that they skipped some solid landmarks that could be great builds at a microscale: The Forum in Rome, The Colisseum, Pantheon, Parthenon, Pont Du Garde, Monte Saint Michelle, etc. Personally, I don’t like the skyline sets as much as I like well detailed builds. I’d rather get a $100 Forum, a $80 Colisseum and a $60 pantheon than have a dumbed down version of all three at an average to low price point.

    I didn't realize Disney left it in. Sorry for the confusion. Did a little research and you're correct. Thanks for pointing that out!

    I'm surprised by how many people are excited about the CW coming back. IMHO. Being an OT fan first, then watching the PTs as they came out, etc... I never liked the CW. I own over 100 star wars lego sets and none of them are CW sets ie: have bug-eyed figures. I guess this will help me save money if Lego goes back down this path. While I personally don't like it, seeing how many people are excited for this is impressive and I'm happy for you. I hope you guys get some good stuff!

    Where did that AT-AT related quote from SVL come from? Was this a hint of something? I went back and can’t find that original post? Did he delete it?
  17. thorin
    I feel the same way as the rest of you. But I did want to note that the DS has a tie advanced in the docking bay which was bigger than a micro-fighter but not as big as past system scale versions... It looked good, could fully enclose a minifigure, and didn't eat up a lot of bricks... Maybe they will be similar to that concept/scale? Either way, it will be interesting to see how this all plays out.
  18. thorin
    I’m curious about this too... has there been anything indicating when they are available?
  19. thorin
    Had this happen in the unopened podracer set a few years ago. Sometimes the bags just break.

    If only the 2016 holiday full-scale train had been an Art Deco steam train similar to the “polar express”... Lego has made two x-mas trains and several small/mini-scale versions. None of them has ever had that look.

    My May the 4th orders all arrived today. If anyone has seen my posts, I am biased, but I typically like the posters. Having said that, I think the scale of the Y-wing poster is really nice. It’s not very big at all (8.5”x11”) and fits really well next to the UCS model...
  22. thorin
    I didn’t mean to get everyone upset about the poster. I actually like the posters... In fact, I’m still just disappointed it isn’t a movie-style Episode 8, Rogue one, or Solo poster... some day TLG will suddenly remember that they forgot to finish the poster series! Someday.
  23. thorin
    Thanks for the info. Of the people shopping SW legos on May the 4th, how many of them are spending less than 30 euros? Seems silly.

    I found a similar reddit post, but it indicated it would be a poster that you could hang up indicating that you are a “vip” black card holder. The same post also mentions a raffle for all black vip card holders for the platinum r2d2 from previously... Not sure how true it is, but something in me has to believe that there will be something out there for black card holders on May the Fourth.
  25. thorin
    Me too. Provided it isn’t made up.
