5 years on and this is still rife, last few days been hundreds people doing buy it now on deathstar for £129 and ucs falcon for £178, you'd thought after 5 years ebay might have sorted this scam out, some people have bought x40 deathstars that is some serious money to have wasted.

Another deathstar listed for £129.31, ebay really need to sort this out.

This seems like the same scam as the deathstar one currently running at £128 and free delivery from china or hongkong, seemed so tempting but then you look at their feedback and although its 100% its all for items for 1p and they have sold over x200 deathstars in 2 days, way too good to be true, just hope everyone gets money back as its never gonna turn up.

Think until ebay remove listing you have to wait a certain amount time before filing a dispute and trouble is they have provided you with a tracking number to try and stall the process but i'd wait 10 days after the day you paid then file claim but in meantime ebay will prob freeze the seller and you will get full refund.

Its all a scam, done bit googling and came across this http://www.bricksetforum.com/discussion/1439/scams-on-ebay-its-the-summer-of-madness/p1 Thank god i never took a gamble, make sure you make your clain within 45days.

Managed to pick one up on Friday when we had family day out at Legoland Windsor, they had 2 huge pallets full. So surprised they havent made a Starwars Lego ride, seems a shame as its prob their best selling series.

Yes keep updated as if it is legit then im sure evryone will be buying a few at that price.

Finished building this set earlier for my little boy and enjoyed all 3 hrs of it, I also panicked after completing bags 4 and having not the usual few spares but the same as in the review pics so least I can stop scanning both manuals to see if i missed anything. My only other gripe is under the trap door on the right hand side of the ship is section that slots underneath and 2 x red pins pushed in to hold this section but its not very secure and doesnt always stop the under section falling out, does this need to be modded or have i done something wrong? I also wasnt impressed when the sticker sheet came out the box all creased up but managed to salvage them. Why dont they make stickier stickers?

Does seem like its worth a punt at that price though and surely you are covered by paypal?

hmmmm seems too good to be true, just found another similar seller in china Item number: 160639147578 same thing buy it now £128.93 free delivery and says sold 134 but looking at feedback it all for item less than 11p??

Feeling a bit artistic the other day so grabbed one my lads troopers and got some enamel model paint from local hobby shop to have a go at customising one. Got various matt camo colours but am unsure as to what will make it longer lasting. I washed scrubbed figure to remove shine and protective layer, rubbed with wire wool to give better surface and then applied to base coats and then few coats differant colours to give camo effect, came out well but need to apply some protective varnish but one i got isn't matt varnish so gooing to wait till go to differant hobby shop. Has anyone had any experience with customising mini figs and to what procedure and paints work best. Cheers in advance.

Think it said oct 1st for advent calendar, also noticed tescos also have 20% all toys but couldnt see new sets online.

Sorry if this has been asked a million times but can someone explain what these mean? TLG TLC TFU EU OT BP SE Sorry bout the list, lol, newbie here.

Good shout, ordered #7964 Republic Frigate yesterday lunchtime and arrived at 10am this morning, was only £82.40 with the 20% disc, wished I waited with ordering #7965 Millenium Falcon although I did get 10% and nothing to pay till 12 months so least its not 2 big purchases close together. I still dont understand how you can get these sets way before the actual lego shop or toys r us can get them? The next dilemma is which one to build first?????

Yeah mine arrived sat morning, dont think i can wait till xmas to give to my little one.

Just ordered mi(7965) and was in stock (UK) and will be here saturday.

Been searching most June because I read they were being released in Uk around the 16th June... How and where is spelling/grammar a must? Surely your not going to pick fault with everyones post just because the odd word is spelt wrong?? Why is it all these forums end up in a moaning and bitching contest, doesn't make sense, it was my first post and I only became a member so I could post that a certain catalogue had them in stock and that you could save some money and before you know it im being accussed of peddling my site ( lol wish I did own catalogue site, i'd be rich and have no time to post on here )and then moaned at for posting in wrong section with poor grammer, well thanks guys I was just trying to help people out, next time I wont bother.. I cant name the catalogue as I had in my original post and got accussed of peddling.

I can assure you im not peddling any site, i actually work in retail and collect starwars lego for my little boy and have been searching for ages for these sets and only really found 1 or 2 on ebay so stop jumping the gun as im not making anything from this post just thought people might like get the new sets following day and not pay for a year.

Had certain mainstream catalogue today and also checked online and they have in stock all the new summer release sets incl millenium falcon, frigate, ewok attk, pod race etc, all reasonably priced..

Its available now in the UK in a certain mainstream catalogue priced £133 and also they have frigate,ewok attack and darth maul inf all in stock.
