A few answers: Yes, I believe "Sugi" will be included with the ship, seeing as he's on the box art, I agree, the Mandos should have jetpacks, I think it is some sort of speeder in the Clone BP, probably BARC. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there's my observations. -Santhor

I agree, I at first was glad that there was two bomb squad troops, seeing as I kind of *gasp* liked that episode, not knowing that the commando was one of Eeth Koth's guys. I was happy NOT to have two commandos, but now, I wish it was: one bomb squad, two "commandos", and one or two (replaces the commando) ARF's. I guess you could pretend the bomb squads were 212th Airborne (Cody's troops) but they have too much orange. As for the Mandos...well, don't expect any stores near me to have them in stock. -Santhor the Mandalorian

Wow, thanks! These look...amazing! Those new Mandalorian pistols look great! I'm excited for next year, even though my interest for Star Wars is diminishing lately. Oh well, there goes my budget. -Santhor

Sorry if I already posted this, but has anyone else noticed that TLG used the 'flat' plastic in Series 2? Because every time I look at my traffic cop, he just looks so...bland. -Santhor

Sorry if there are, but have we seen any pictures yet? I'd check for myself, (I did a little bit) but there's seven pages of comments, and I'm very tired. If someone could please say who's posted pictures, or quote them, that's be VERY helpful. Thanks! -Santhor

Hard to say, because I only have the Winter Toy Shop. I'd give it five stars though. The only downside is semi-complicated instructions. Do you mean the City Family Home/City House, or a creator one? Because if you're looking for several detailed minifigs, get the Toy Shop. -Santhor

I forgot to say another thing, it looks like TLG has produced these little guys in China, using the 'flat' painting which we saw in the new Kingdoms battlepacks. None of them have back printing either. I thought the intent for the Collectable Minifigs was to have special, high-budget minifigures that deserved their own shelf. I guess they didn't put as much care into these as I expected. Oh well. -Santhor

It would be, yes, but when there's kids and cashiers alike giving you that "look", it's hard to concentrate. Plus, they made the bags so thick I could barely feel through them. I even had to use a car key (I opened them in the car) to poke a hole in them and rip it open. I felt a pole, but that giant sheet they give you with it kept making me drop the other parts. Turns out it was the witch's broom, or the ringmaster's white whip. -Santhor"Numb Fingers"

Lucky! I WISH I got two Spartans, and no witch. By the 'ringleader', do you mean the Italian guy (someone make a Pizzaria!) with the whip? Because I got him to. Oh joy. -Santhor

I have no idea. They had the second barcode, but no numbers! I even had the list all ready for my Spartans, but to no avail. I think TLG is wising up to our "schemes". -Santhor

I just got some at my local TRU (at $3 USD each!), only to find that they didn't have the individual numbers on the second barcode. I ended up paying ten bucks for a ringmaster, traffic cop, and witch. You can't believe my frustration. -Santhor

Congratulations all! Happy 2nd, and congrats on all the excellent reviews! So here's a quick from Santhor! -Santhor

Way to be a real gent, Blondie-Wan! I'll be ordering the Bakery on the day it comes out, assuming I can wait that long. I would've gotten it either way though, because my Mom really likes bakerys and things like that, so I'm going to build it and take it over to show her when I can come back from school. -Santhor

Mine came yesterday as well, but I got to open it. All the pieces were there, I think I might've gotten a few extras, or I missed them on the semi-confusing directions. About the price tag, I can't find any residue on the box. -Santhor

Same here! YAAHAAAA!!!! I don't know how far away the distribution center is, but I hope mine will come by Friday. -The victorious Santhor

Yes please, I'll take 1, and a grape lollipop. -Santhor

Same here, about both things. Thanks everyone for all the help. -Santhor, out.

Wow, thanks! I'll keep checking, and hopefully be able to get one. -Santhor

Really? This isn't some kind of elaborate joke, is it? If not, please excuse me for the next 8 hours while I refresh the Amazon shopping page. -Santhor

Ditto. I can't believe a set at normal price sold out in half an hour. At this point, Lego would have to be crazy to not re-release it, what with how well it's selling. -Santhor

Here in the U.S, you can't buy the Winter Toy Shop from Shop@Home, Walmart.com, Toysrus.com, or Target.com. By the way, thanks everyone for all the help, I just don't spend that much on Legos yearly, so I don't want to go paying double price for a set if I can wait two weeks to have it at normal price. -Santhor

Thanks DarthPerson, that was my thought (it's probably going to be re-released), especially since it'd be odd to have the second set of the sub-series (try saying that three times fast) without the first to compliment it, if you know what I mean. -Santhor

Thanks, I checked those places too, to no avail. I even E-mailed Lego customer service (or whatever) and they said something like: "We're not making those anymore, sorry...sets get old...replace them with new ones..."yadda yadda yadda. I found that odd, seeing as the Winter Toy shop just came out December 2009. I'll keep checking though. EDIT: Was this Wal-Mart in the U.S? By the way, I see you're new here. welcome to the forums, and enjoy your stay! -Santhor

Thanks everyone, and I will just wait until November to try and get one. Thanks for the offer, Tiammath. -Santhor

All aboard the Donut Express! This is a very fun and creative MOC. I think TLG should make one, with a new doughnut piece. Yum... -Santhor
