Darth Malgus

Like S.B.A above, cannot wait to get him!

Nice pic, clearly see the phantom/ghost there also.

Its not likely to change too soon, clearly lego are happy with them.

It seems to be. The same situation for the cuuso sets, I've seen the in toyworld as well these days. At least they are ariving here!

Costs almost as much on some sites so don't really care too much about it. I'd rather own it under my own doing than be held to the whim of scalpers, its not exactly like we get polybags here all the time.

may head down there tonight to pick it up!

The next UCS for 2015 will depend a lot on disney, this may be the first real impuit they have since design time and delivery is a certain period apart.

true, its more a case of what they didn't suggest than what was.

I think this is one instance of the whole ship coming at the expense of playability. I can hardly wait until both of these are availble and. I have put them together, when I've done that the I may critique the sets.

Myer southland had a heap of cuusso sets in: all 3. Minecraft sets $49.95, the mars buggy $49.95 and the Delorian from back to the future $59.95. Pretty impressed that these made retail here!

The B-Wing looks like a midi of the UCS from 2012... Didn't relaise the midi modals were being brought back.

What's missing is the mask, printing it doesn't feel right.

Be interesting to see some hi res pics if they're available, is Grogall still active?

Does anyone know if any local retailers are doing any promotions with the new Hobbit movie? I know the game comes with a Bilbo minifigure, but not too sure if the BluRay does?

Does anyone know if any of the DVD retailers in Australia are doing anything with the release of the movie?

I got two Han's last year.

Cannot argue with the logic of her as a choice for the minifig based on time spent as a charcter outside the film not too sure LFL would like to see her around with all likelyhood of her appearing or being referred to possibly in EP7. Not sure I agree with your point of view Brickdoctor on the break down of the wave, pretty sure Tartekovsky costituted EU in the that time, pretty sure LeeLand Chee said years ago it wasn't G level cannon (basically EU) McQuarrie concept is EU! As for Mara Jade being the Emperor's hand thrawn referred to her as one of many so I'd say she was a. Special foot soldier effectively. Revan was a jedi General who turned against them, was brought back into the fold and then saved the republic with a personal sacrifice. I'd say their significance cancels each other out. Personally I'd be as happy if it were Mara but more than rapt its Revan, Thrawn would've been cool too!

Mara Jade first appeared 20 years ago in the Hand Of Thrawn Trilogy double the time that Revan and Malak have been given when you look at their first involvement being a game. So when you compare them its comporable to asess that they have rather similar size appeal, all this considering Mara Jade was a protagonist to luke, married luke and featured throughout 3 very long series of novellia. I'd say that given the little exposure both Revan and Malak shared they have stood equal to Mara Jade. As for the wave that I showed above, at the time they were released they wave was actually labelled an Expanded Universe wave.

actually they were packed 1 per case (case being 12 figures) I think this was the wave assortment Courtesy of Yakface: 29: Hermi Odle 30: C-3PO w/Salacious Crumb 31: Roron Corobb (Jedi Knight) 32: Yoda & Kybuck (Jedi Master) 33: Anakin Skywalker (Clone Wars) 34: Darth Revan (Sith Lord) 35: Darth Malak (Sith Lord) 36: Pre-Cyborg Grievous 37: Starkiller Hero (McQuarrie Concept) They became popular as most people wanted more than 1 and that drove the secondary price market up. As a wave on the whole it became rather collector driven, prices are set based upon what people will pay. I have these figures and was lucky enough to only pay a reasonable amount for Malak. There is a certain level of snobbery also associated in the EU, Some of the core characters in no particualr preference are Darth Revan, Malak, Bane, Malgus Nihlius, Mara Jade, Grand Admiral Thrawn, Ysanne Issard, Coran Horn, Nom Anor, Bastila Shaan, Satele Shan, Jace Malcolm, Canderous Ordo, Rukh, Emperor... Lots of these would be welcomed by most EU fans. Personally from an EU perspective I'm Glad to get someone as important as Revan to round out the collection, it was a shame we only got Malgus in the TOR set releases.

At least there is some traction in this series going forward. Hope for some LOTR news sooner or later, either way.

With all due respect I don't think that's a call you can make if you've never read or played the Expanded Universe content, its just a character your more than likely familiar with however it isn't necessarily who fans of the EU would choose. Mara has won fans favourites and been made into figures through Hasbro, although two of the most expensive in the last 10 years are actually Revan and Malak from the 30th Anniversary Collection. There are points to be made for all and remember they actually cover different era's from one another. For those curious about Revan, there was a book brought out 18 months ago title Revan, its an Old Republic book.

If its Revan, I'd grab as many as I could, best character in the. Whole EU personally speaking.

Like I said in. The previous page, a MF shouldn't be the priority for lego at the moment. Several other iconic ships could use the UCS treatment such as an A-Wing, Tie fighter, AT-AT, Jedi starfighter (Ep 3), perhaps even a decent Speeder Bike? I'd at least wait until the new saga was in its second movie before pulling the MF out again.

Not too sure that its required until the movie comes out. I mean the UCS X-Wing came almost 10 years after the first so in 18 months or so it'd be getting closer to that 10 years from the first falcon. There are other sets that LEgo could give the UCS treatment to first...

I'll pick this set up! Looks great.
