For some reason I'm really liking the Luke from the final duel: It's a similar emough torso from the 10236 Ewok Village except the folded down flap but I think it's got one of the best Luke faces we've seen in many years. Much better than the recent Lukes with lines all over his face and better than the Ewok Village/Rancor Pit/Desert Skiff Jedi Lukes.

I was just looking at s@h for the Aus. prices, I thought I'd post them here: 75915: Pteranodon Capture (174 pcs) - $39.99 75916: Dilophosaurus Ambush (248 pcs) - $49.99 75920: Raptor Escape (394 pcs) - $69.99 75917: Raptor Rampage (324 pcs) - $79.99 75918: T-Rex Tracker (520 pcs) - $119.99 75919: Indominus Rex Breakout (1156 pcs) - $179.99 I'll save the complaining it's all been said, but some of those price per piece ratios are... woah. Of course each set comes with a huge chunk of plastic in the way of a dinosaur or dinosaurs. I'm out regarding these sets but I imagine a lot of people will be waiting on some pretty hefty sales to pick them up.

It will probably be Dastan, if it's not just a hood. What will they use for Luke? The current Sandcrawler/cantina/Tatooine hair won't suffice... if it's not just a hood.

The shuttle is worth it at $100 USD but The Ghost was $90 and only has eight less pieces and one less minifig. And those minifigs included some new molds. So $10 or £10 for a minifigure? Sadface.

I like the Endor Han very much. It's just that I remember a lot of people (not the majority though) complaining about the cantina obi wan and even aragon which all use the same printing technique to resemble an coat.

Very minor spoiler, if that. People who were not happy with the robes printing on the Obi Wan from the cantina and soon the be released Shuttle Tydirium Han Solo ...probably won't be happy with the TFA minifigure. The set from September I'm most anticipating to see used to be the new x-wing but I'm sure TLG will knock it out of the park and it will be a must buy for me, but now the set I'm most curious about is the MF. I'm curious to see how it's different from previous Falcons, if much at all, from design to build. It's a similar piece count to 7965 which I own so it will have to be a great improvement to make me want to buy it. Colour me excited.

Considering we've know for a while roughly what The Force Awakens sets we're going to see released in September based on price and piece count (ie Rey's Speeder, MF, new X-Wing, Tie Fighter) it's weird I didn't realise until now we're not going to get any battle packs which is slightly annoying. TLG it seems normally release the BP's in the January/Winter release so it will be a bit of a wait to get a whole bunch of extra/different troopers.

Is there any chance you could upload the XML file for me to use? I've been wanting to bricklink a AT-ST as well but the thought of doing it piece by piece has been putting me off. Thanks.

I noticed on Myer online that they are running "introductory" prices on Avenegers sets. Different from the 20% off sale. Avengers Hydra Showdown 76030 introductory price $29.95 price after 26 Apr 2015 $39.95 Hulkbuster Rescue Mission 76031 introductory price $39.95 price after 26 Apr 2015 $49.95 Attack On Avengers Tower 76038 introductory price $79.95 price after 26 Apr 2015 $99.95 Quinjet City Chase 76032 introductory price $99.00 price after 26 Apr 2015 $129.00 I'm sure you can't apply the 20% on top of this but it would be worth enquiring about if you are interested in these sets.

I care. I saw it mentioned in your previous post and it's very much appreciated.

I'm very jealous of all the people scoring AT-AT's for $90 Last year when TRU was intentionally or unintentionally doing 25% off one 50% off the second I did get the Cantina for $65, B-Wing for $60, Snowspeeder for $30 and AT-AT for $130, so it's not too bad. I would buy another AT-AT or two for $90 though.

Is there any word on the release of 76040 Brainiac Attack? DC Superheroes should be hitting the shelves in coming day but nada on this, which is on s@h I guess.

Thanks for the comments guys, I picked up the set from Myer. Don't know about the 20% off though I thought that ended a week or two ago. I'm just happy to have it marked off the list and don't mind full price on a gift.

That's what the cynic in me thinks. All this talk about the Frozen set selling like hot cakes is freaking me out. I've got a little girl I'm supposed to be getting this for for a birthday in April but not if it's sold out :( Can people post here where they see it when it shows up in stores, that will be greatly appreciated? I'm going to grab it first time I see it.

They've got Disney Princess and Superheroes on that flyer but only 2014 sets in stock. What are the chances of them getting the 2015 sets in stock during that sale period?

I have no idea about bionicle so maybe I shouldn't have said all because I can't say so definitively. I was in a bit of a hurry and the longer I lingered the more stuff I would have bought. I did a quick walk through of the lego section; new city - check, friends - check, lego movie - check, star wars - check etc. Again I've got no idea about bionicle but they definitely had every Star Wars set.

^ Thanks. Their loss. Myer has my money. I've now seen all the sets that are supposed to be released in the month of February at myer.

Target have 20% off on their ebay store until Sunday, does anyone have any idea if they'll honour this in store?

I think you'll find your answer in this thread: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=19244&st=11775

Yeah you're right I wasn't aware of that. Looks like Disney Princess is the same damn it, why can't they release them the same everywhere? I might have to order the Frozen set from OS to get it in time from a Bday present. Toys R Us online have last years B-Wing $79.99 down to $59.93 and AT-AT $169.99 down to $139.93, decent prices. Specifically says online deal so I don't know if I'd expect those prices in store.

It also appears Superheroes are a no show from all reports.

Ah, I was hoping for a national wide retailer ;) You're no where near me but thanks for replying.

Which retailer may I ask?

Ok now Star Wars and Friends are showing up. Maybe I needed to refresh or reset my cookies. And they were available to purchase online like the City sets are. I don't know what's changed, unless they're temporarily out of stock already.

I just noticed that the Australian TRU website has a couple of 2015 Star Wars lego sets for sale (the T-16 Skyhopper and Wookiee Gunship specifically) and was wondering if anyone was seeing 2015 sets show up in TRU stores. edit: http://www.toysrus.c...o-new-arrivals/ when you click on new arrivals you also get a bunch of Chima, City and Minecraft sets but nothing else. The new Star sets don't show up there, nor Friends.
