LEGO Star Wars 2018 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!
BacktoBricks replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Impressive. Most impressive ... But actually I'm quite glad about that. It will be the first proper 'reveal' in ages! -
There is also a Naboo Starfighter which would qualify under that description.

Yes definitely want some more TPM in general. As for the abundance of SW sets, you are very right. My local stores still haven't got any of the new August sets on the shelves and all I can think is it is because they have no room. They have the fairly new sets on discount (Solo, Yoda's Hut etc.) but there are just too many sets coming round too quickly for them to put the August sets out it seems. Absolutely. I mean, I think his flattened hair carbonite mold is okay because his hair did get rather flattened, but you can't fit the new hair in that mold obviously and the new hair would give the carbonite mold some more texture. -

I posted that link a few hours ago over in the Future Star Wars Sets forum as I didn't think we would be able to discuss 2019 here. -
Just found this: https://www.brickfanatics.com/lego-star-wars-20th-anniversary-sets-rumoured-for-2019/ No idea if it's legit and I can't say that I am personally interested in collecting any yellow faced minifigures again, but I do love that old logo still and as I was a kid when the first sets came out the nostalgia for that packaging is very real. Would be a great opportunity to get some OT sets as well :)

Lego Licensed Parts available from Bricks & Pieces

Yes that has happened to me. I've actually had a couple of orders both B+P and sets where I've never got a shipping email. -
Yeah I know, but the calendar hasn't been completely reliable of late. I'm not saying there will be anything, just that for such a large purchase it seems odd. Hope you manage to get one. Happy building!

Yep I am a VIP and 7 hours post midnight and still not available on UK S@H. I live min 6 hours from a Lego store so no chance of picking it up in person unfortunately. Kind of think I should wait in case they do an exclusive poly or something on September 1st (Ollivander?), but at this rate I'll have to.

Nope still just says coming soon. And I've got to go to bed so I'll just have to see what happens in the morning ...

No. I've only found them in Argos, Sainsburys and WH Smiths. Even my local Tesco hasn't got any yet or even any of the sets.

Some set numbers and expected prices can be found in the usual place. -

Ah I see. Well in 2016 the press release for 75159 Death Star was on 31st August, but not many of the UCS have been released late in the year to really see a pattern. The Ewok village was released mid-September but was actually revealed in June, so going by that we should have had a press release for CC by now so there isn't really rhyme or reason. Nevertheless, if CC is one of the mid-September VIP releases then it can only be a matter of a few weeks max. :) -

If memory serves, Lego were teasing that for a few weeks prior were they not? Weight, size etc. -

An ebay seller now has the Cloud City pilot up for sale so hopefully not too long before some more news. -
I found a Graves. :) Couldn't believe it when I felt the two hairpieces and one of them wasn't Mad Eye's. I felt like I'd got the golden ticket! Can't exactly comment on location as the box was a bit messed up, but I think it was left side somewhere. Also managed to find Trelawney, Young Harry and Dean so my set is complete. :)

Decided to split those Bricktober packs and put the minifigures into small sets maybe?

Did she mean an image of list with a set including ewoks and scout troopers? Because that's the only supposed 'leak' of that sort so far as I'm aware. And it's reliability is in doubt. -
I did wonder if it was coming to an end as originally this wave of Elves sets were exclusive to Argos in the UK. But they have since appeared on Amazon and were included in this weeks' heavy discounts. Almost like Lego is releasing the stock to more retailers to try and shift it ...

I tried to order a single droid arm that I had lost along with my sets order at just after midnight on 1st. But the B&P section of my order just kept vanishing so I gave up and just ordered the sets in the end. -
Thing is, in the UK I can only find it on S@H and on Amazon. And Amazon (direct from Amazon themselves) are currently charging £40.66 which is even more than RRP! Can't figure that one out as Amazon don't normally sell Lego for over RRP. So for VIP points I thought I'd bite the bullet ...

I haven't personally been able to go out and feel bags, but I asked a relative to pick some up. They got 3 bags and I got Tina, Queenie and Mad Eye. As I'm only really looking for the HP figures (would love a full set, but I can't see me getting my hands on a Graves so sticking to HP) it wasn't the best haul, but I was just so excited when they brought them back. I don't think I even squealed with excitement like that as a kid lol. :)

I got the Hoth Medical Chamber set. The price is inflated, but I used VIP points to get it so that takes the sting out a bit. I just had to have baby diaper Luke. ?

Well it's on Amazon, currently at RRP, but that means it has the potential to be discounted. Also, the September store calender has leaked showing that VIPs get early access to two new sets from 13th - 30th September. I'm taking it that one will be the new winter holiday set, but do you all think the other one will be Cloud City?
