Tidy

4782 pieces even. ;-]

I picked up the inferno squad battle pack while traveling to Canada. In case anyone is wondering besides iden there are two different faces and one angry clone. Additionally there is a spare of the black Batman utility belt.

reworked existing stuff from what i’ve heard.

quoting you because that is pretty much exactly what it is.

same same ... it’s like a throwback collectible fig ...

;-] CONF_Villain_ship CONF_HERO_ship let's just say i will not be surprised if that is the case ...

star wars celebration is in april ... my assumption is that they might be releasing around then to be in conjunction with that ... also i am hearing that is when the resistance [show not faction] merch is coming out ... not sure yet if that includes lego ...

for what it is worth, currently i am seeing JAN, MAR/APR, and OCT. this is not counting any D2C/UCS/retailer exclusives. i imagine in the next 2 weeks the MAR/APR sets will see greater clarity and we could see the first glimpse of the number of sets for ep 9. the magic 8-ball is pointing to 5 20th anniversary sets ...

the early rumours are 3 shooting game type sets ... called 'action play' sets ... not playsets ... so i think that is an important distinction ... hoth, endor and one other have been tossed around ... i think this is another departure from the normal 'system sets' we are accustomed to ... it's more likely that one of the 20th anni sets is a snowspeeder ...

my biggest issue with the whole promotion [and maybe this salted lego to it as well] was the shear number of people who bought the falcon and scalped/sold it ... but now they get to enjoy the perks of an exclusive promo 'rewarding' the early buyers ... regardless of my personal feelings, this was a charlie foxtrot from day one ...

lol ... i'm a man of word too ... and yeah, the clone battle pack became the inferno squad ... the placeholder name was/is CONF_BP clone 75226 ... it was a fair assumption in the beginning that it would be a clone battle pack ... but we know differently now ...

indubitably.

try #blackvip ... ;-] and it is with purchase ... through the end of january 19 ... online only ...

as·sump·tion a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof. "they made certain assumptions about the market" synonyms:supposition, presumption, belief, expectation, conjecture, speculation, surmise, guess, premise, hypothesis *** so since you brought it up, let's talk about that track record and your assumptions. do you recall posting the following list? where you originally assumed GV_escape was great vehicle and canto bight? shall i send the conversation where i pointed you to death star? or you said there would be a juniors death star and slave 1? assumptions are not bad, and often have logic behind them. it is part of the hunt.

your black card final promo leaked on instagram ... black card holder, and black minifig with falcon logo ...

they're talking about it in the 2018 thread ...

75225 and 75226 are technically slated for jan 1 release ... however, as we all know, many retailers will put them out earlier, as these are not hard and fast street dated ... i expect to start seeing them in stores mid-december, and available on ebay for a 'premium' in a couple weeks or less too ...

go back through here ... numerous times it has come up ... azani and i have talked about this one ad nasuem ... and it's all in the news thread if people would look ... he is banking on the placeholder target description of: LEGO LEGO® Star Wars Slave I 75236 whereas i'm more inclined to believe the current walmart one: LEGO Star Wars TM CONF_Playset_R_vs_K 75236 every bit of this has been said so many times it is ridiculous. he will also come and point out for a brief fleeting moment that the walmart system said slave, but was quickly changed ... i firmly believe that target has mixed up 75236 and 75243 ... think about it for a second, the slave 1 in cloud city was ~350 pieces ... why exactly would lego also release a 191 piece slave 1 ... playset or not ... and we all know [azani will confirm this assertion] that this set is not a 4+ set either ... especially given that there is a 1000+ piece slave 1 coming in april ... and what makes someone reliable? he and i have been in agreement on every thing we've posted here for near 2 years, except for this set ... why am i not then reliable ??? [not that i care about opinions about me] ... i kept telling people the canto bight rumor [gv_escape 75229] was bs and it was gonna be death star, guess what ??? oh yeah, it is death star and gv was not great vehicle ... /shrug ... bottom line, anyone talking about this like they know for certain [myself included] is full of it, and those that are 100% 'in the know' aren't saying jack ... as i said earlier today: whatever this set is, it won't be revealed for a few weeks, so my advice is to forget it exists and be surprised, as a matter of fact, this might even be an April set, not even January.

and 4 other people have said duel on starkiller ... this needs to DIE now ... he is making assumptions ...

this is what happens when people spread false crap. the truth gets buried and suddenly there's a $30 kamino set. whatever this set is, it won't be revealed for a few weeks, so my advice is to forget it exists and be surprised. fwiw. there are only 8 concrete things known about 75236. piece count price box size UPC EAN ASIN DPCI Walmart SKU as a matter of fact, this might even be an April set, not even January.

read the book. there are 4 original members. the battle pack is technically iden versio and 3 inferno squad agents. i wouldn't be shocked if all 3 had angry clone heads ... and before you say but the stolen figure from the factory had such and such head, the stolen versios from the factory had that head too ...

meh, most of them were just aggregators and reposters ...

no. look at the news thread.

lego works in mysterious ways ... lol ...

only 1 in the us is listed as retiring soon ... ucs snowspeeder. /shrug
