I've got plenty of pirates but they're all Yellow sorry. None the less, If your intrested flick me a PM

It's possible it won't be brung in until next years K-mart Toysales....

Nice. I'm egerly awaiting to get or 2 Wampa caves but simply can't stand the $100 price point. I'm really looking forward to MODing it into a nice big cave. But until I see it reasonably priced I'll wait on it. Ideally, I don't want to pay more than $70 (well, I'd be buying 2 at that price), as that's what I feel it's worth to me. I may get one for $80 when it comes to 20% off though. I know it's $100 at Toyworld and farmers, Has anyone else seen it anywhere? and how much was it? Why couldn't Toyworld put the wampa cave at $60 instead of Banes speeder

It's an International Compitition There'll be one somewhere near you if you really wanted to go. I one mentioned the CHCH Regionals as that's what I'm in

Welcome Chaucey! Hope you enjoy EB :) Just thought I'd shout out to anyone in CHCH. Next weekend is an anual Compitition called Robocup. It uses a lot of lego Mindstorms (sometimes various other Robotic systems are used too) for various Comptitions. The website is here. I'll be competing in the Senior secion of rescue (using NXT and RCX) and just thought I'd mention it in case anyone here is intrested in poping along to see what all the fun is about It's a day thing and is going to be held at Selwyn house School on Sunday (a week today) Just in case anyone is intrested

Intresting. Thanks for the heads up on that. The new city transport set is listed in S@H as $200 but was $180 at Tower junction also Plo Koons fighter is also listed as $55 but is only $50 it Toyworld. Mabye toyworld heard some things from customers about their price jack-ups, and decided to try get more customers... Everything else is RRP, not over. Good on toyworld

Gee, Sorry mate, Didn't mean to offend anyone 'CW'/'EU', I know they're supposedly different, (Cannon vs Non-Cannon) But In my books, I just call anything EU if it's not from the original 6 movies. I am dissapointed by the lack of OT/PT sets. Hopefully we'll see more coming (the exclusives are often found out way later )

I must admit, seeing the AT-AT in the flesh, it didn't look nearly as bad as first pictures suggested. I'm not sure wether they just managed to get a lucky nice shot for the box art or wether its simply better than I had thought. I'm planning on getting: Wampa cave (must get one, even if I end up having to pay RRP - doubt it'll come to that though ) Palpitines shuttle (nice set - could look great with a few MOD's - would like to get it well on sale if possible though) Banes Speeder (Bargian price, will make a nice air-taxi seeing as I'm anti-CW, but on sale I just wouldn't pass this one up) Slave 1 (I hate the fact that they re-made it (the last one was great) - but it's such a nice set, and it looks lovely and has amazing figs. Will probably, hopefully, get it - on sale) CTT- Will probably pass. The sets nice, but the original is fine, and being CW, It's not a big deal wether I have it or not. AT-AT- Once again, will probably pass, others are fine (well, better) and I simply don't need this one. Plo Koons fighter - Probably will pass, but If I see it desperately cheap - which I wouldn't be too surprised of, I may get it just because I'm lacking a Plo Koon fig from my collection (It passes the PT/CW test for me ) GG's fighter - No piticular hate for the set, I just have no want, let alone need for it. Definately NOT the Imp. Star destroyer though

There is currently no reason to beleive it's an exclusive, so I'd wait. But that said, I almost never pay full price, others differ. I don't know of any sales soon, but there'll be one soon enough. Even as a CW set, at 20% off I couldn't pass it up, I'd use it as a Air taxi. It would be down to $48 - Crazy bargain IMO Also looking forward to the other sets, once on sale

I know this is rumors, but personally I don't like the sound of most of this... All my hope is going into this 'battle for naboo' set. I would love a large battlepack kind of set (like the 2009 hoth set) with say, a new JarJar, 2 new Kaddu and 3 other Gungans... Plus a few droids. One can dream... One needs to when the lineup looks this bad (too much EU IMO) -Legoman

Yeah most of them. 8093 = $50 8128 = $60 8099 = $90 8089 = $100 8095 = $130 8096 = $150 8097 = $200 8129 = $230 8098 = $300 Wow, looking over, Thats a lot of sets for a summer wave.. Glad I don't want all of them then

Just went to Toyworld tower junction They had all the new SW sets (ALL of them exept the UCS) and most of the new trains. My biggest surprise was that Bane's speeder was only $60 Bargain compared to all the other sets

Congrats to the winners, and all who entered. It was a very tight compitition for this catagory, well done to those who made it though.

Well done guys! This was a very intresting compitition. A special congratulations to the 3 winners! They were all amazing entries On another note, 6th... I guess I'll just have to work even harder next time

Congrats guys! Very nice entrys, I think the placings look very fair. Well done all, And very well done to the place-getters Legoman

Wow thats an incredably nice find. I'm also curious, how much did you pay?

Ouch Thats a lot of $$$... I personally wouldn't get that even if I had the money - A) I think it's a bit overpriced at $12000, and B) part of the fun of collecting lego is collecting it over time. Getting a collection like that would be a big hit Nice collection though

I would have thought you would be over hoth by now? Was planning to go out today and pick up the Wampa cave and/or Slave 1 but desided against it. The slave is incedibly similar to the 2006 version, and nothing worth an extra $100 over the last. May pick it up later though if I see it less than $150. Wampa cave is still overpriced but part of me just needs it Also Wanting palpitines shuttle in due corse, but will need some MOD's on that one. Plo Koons fighter I'll pass on, but may pick it up for the figs i I see it cheap later. Passing on GG's starfighter, and still undecided on the CTT, but at this stage the original looks fine. Will pass on the AT-AT and Midi Star destroyer. Not sure about Banes speeder - It could make a nice Air-taxi... Nothing worth getting at full price though for me.

Please add AllanSmith to the List for a nice simple trade

Cheers for the review This is one of the best SW sets ever released, It looks stunning. I'm quite sad It's so expencive now days. I've still got my eye out in case I ever see one at a near good price, And I'll snap it up. It's the only UCS I'm yet to get Looking forward to the day I do get it though. It looks incredible Thanks again for the review

Wow. I was expecting them both to be around $60. Intresting... The ISD is a Joke IMO, $100....

Yeah, the catalogue said September. Any other news? I havn't had much time for looking around, I Had a big rugby game today.

Well, Unlike others, I love this thing, Sure, might be a tad silly, but admit it folk's, we all dream of putting these two awesome thing together: Lego and Fire Brilliant

It was in the holidays. But wasn't really mentioned much due to the lack of exclsives/good prices

I knew it would be UCS EP.II The set is pritty much what I expected, But that new Printed 4x4 Dish with R4 certainly gives it a very nice look. I absolutlely Love it It certainly does remind me of Cavegods version, and there are certainly resmbulances, however, After looking at both very carefully, I think they are almost completely different apart from the ship and scale, which are both fairly unaviodable. None the less, If you manage to get a free $100 set out of it, go for your life
