TLC this year have changed the Battle packs to include 2 factions in each BP to give kids a battle in the box. Also the part counts are back up to the same kind of levels we saw in the first BP. This means In the UK the price has gone up by £2 or 20% still to be confirmed if other countries will se a rise in price as well. Price £12 (UK) The Box is still the same size as the older BP (other new sets I have got are in the new smaller size ) The box has the just 2 bags like most BP. The range finders and visors are in their own bag in the large bag. The parts page. A very nice selection The small cartoon now in the instructions. Not many Minifigs have 7 building steps but the new Elite Clone does! The minifigs of this set have been creating a real buzz around the web and they don't disappoint when you gwet you hands on them. The Elite Clone Trooper is a real thing of beauty. I can't think of a better Star Wars fig to date. The back pack is simple yet looks good. The new ARF I another nice fig with some great new helmet printing. I has been suggested that he part of Commander Wolf's Regiment The new Commando Droids again very good figs with a great new head mold and nice printing. They are dark brown without the metalic hints we saw in preliminary shot which is a shame. All the figs to show height differences. The set come with crazy amount of Dark red range finders and visors. The cannon has some great parts and it is nice to see Battle packs with a good part selection again. The finished cannon is a good build with the now statutory flick fire missle. The left over parts. The finished set. I am really happy with this set even if it has meant a UK price hike. The minifigs are just fantastic with the Elite clone being one of the best ever produced in my humble opinion. The parts selection is also very good and means a few sets together will be much better than the limited part of the last BP's. I doubt I nead to tell many of you reading this that you nead this set but you do. A great set! Edit: poll added

The new star wars sets are ready for order today for collection tomorrow at Argos! Just ordered the new BP's and the Geonosian cannon. It does seem that UK BP prices have gone up £2 for the new ones but the Geonosian cannon and Escape pod sets are only £20! The planet sets are £10 each as expected.

In the UK Woolworths online has the 5 of the new jan sets available to order. Looks like we could have battle pack price increases as they are £12 Woolworths Lego Star Wars X-wing £50 Tie Figter £50 Droid Escape £20 Endor BP £12 Clone & Droid BP £12

Another fantastic UCS MOC Anio! The ship looks stunning and I know just how much those dark red parts cost. You have all the angles pretty much spot on and a few painted parts as stand-ins is ok.

My entry to the build. Great, Chewie! Great! Always thinking with your stomach.

My cut down entry to the CB SWVI - Return Of The Jedi My Endor village/outpost MOC has been well delayed thanks to a manic month or so at work. So I have adapted one of the trees that I had started, to recreate this great moment from the film. The whole MOC. The net is made up of 4 net parts and 2 long black string parts threaded though to hold it in shape.

I doubt these prices are 100% reliable as the Entertainer Shop quite often marks up RRP. They should give us a pretty good idea though.

I have been following this thread from the beginning and really like all your versions. The frigate was excellent but that Slave 1 is fantastic! A really nice model with some great looking guns!

A stuuning MOC! The rancor looks fantastic! Now I don't know if I am the only one but I think it looks pretty close to a minifig scale rancor. I would love to see a picture of it holding minifig Luke or a Gamorrean.

Another fantastic MOC! Did I expect any less! The rocks look great with all that dark tan, it really helps give it the look of the cave in the film. Love the rancor! I do hope we get one in some shape or form from lego.

For me it is alot of the factors listed. Time to build the stuff I buy is in short supply and I really don't have the space these days to display my full collection let alone the extra sets I buy! I also buy extra's (2-3) of some sets as I don't want to be paying huge prices If I want a mutiple or two at a later date. Battle Packs I nearly always buy 10 of (only 2 for the Assassin Droid one) 40 of the Clone Walker being the most. I have not built a UCS set since the Y-wing I have them all except the SSD (waiting for a deal ). I did build the 10188 Death Star (not really UCS) though, as I was no going to leave that baby unopened. I buy nearly all my lego at discounted prices, RRP these days is just silly prices, so I try to buy everything at 20% off or more. 3 for 2 deals is where I really go mad, probably why I have 9 Battle of Nabboo's and 8 Ewok Attack sets.

Very nice work on the speeder, the design looks great! The shape of the main hull is very good. I do agree with huntley the green slopes ar the way to go. BL is a fantastic place to shop for lego but also as huntley said buying there can get very addictive. I am at 300 feedback, with nearly all that as a buyer.

Is this picture taken from someone who has the figs? If so it looks like (but is hard to tell) that the ARC Trooper fig has lost the fin on the back of his helmet that was in the other pictures.

Not to many purchases set wise in November but I did make up for it with BL part orders. 7959 Geonosian Starfighter Padawan Menace Bluray Hallmark Darth Vader 2 CW Clone Troopers 3 WolfPack Clone Trooper 6 Geonosian battle droids 2 Hoth Rebel Officer 5 Hoth Rebel Trooper

The lack of droids is probably because they never made it into the cockpit of the falcon in ANH and that is pretty much the only place for figs in this set apart from the gunners seat.

Very wise words! Just look at the UCS Falcon pricing thread for the amount of people trying to buy parts and paying crazy prices for sets. Also worth thinking about is that this set is only the price of 2 RRP 7965 Falcons (in UK) with 4X as many parts and 4X as many figs. I was very lucky with my Death Star. I was one of the lucky few who ordered It when it was first released in the UK with a price point of £200 . I think that only lasted a week before the price went up to todays price!

Sets that are just rumors or speculation don't make it into the first post.

Another fantastic MOC ACPin! The lighting and detail is amazing! The scene is captured perfectly. I sure hope you will do more than just one MOC for this Community Build.

UK Tesco direct have reduced their exclusive 7959 Geonosian Starfighter to £24.97. Not bad if you have some clubcard vouchers you can exchange too.

What!!! Never played the 1 of the greatest star wars games, which are based solely around Starfighter space combat! I hope you of all people have at least played the original X-wing.! Where the hell are those up-dated versions of those great games, they were rumored back in the mid 00's

Glad I could help.

A near perfect rendition of the door! The only thing I would change is the door droid for this part from the jabba's message set as it is smaller. This is only minor gripe in a otherwise great MOC.

I am pretty sure there will be alot of Ewok entries but don't let that stop you!

I have been working on a Endor Ewok village/outpost MOC for a few weeks. If I get it done in time I would love to be part of this.

Well thanks alot CM! I have now ordered this from ebay and knowing Hallmark these will become some kind of collection! Something else for me to try and keep up with! Very nice though!
