  1. If you can't give us a source and no one can find them, I'm inclined to believe they never existed.
  2. I just checked, they're not there. I'm assuming he meant the potato-quality pictures from a week ago.
  3. I think it was taken down. It had a picture of someone on here saying that there was no confirmation of the Falcon. In a comment on the picture CM4S said, "Here's me confirming it."
  4. Here's his confirmation: https://www.flickr.com/photos/89141500@N07/31931646892/
  5. I just reread FBTB's and it seems their main gripe is that it's a retread which isn't a problem for me, as I've stated before.
  6. I didn't think you were, I'm just tired of people trying to change my opinion on the set. The first sentence was also kinda meant to be a joke (heresy, Inquisition, get it?). Sorry if I came across as harsh. I've seen pretty much every review out there, including yours and Brickset's, which are two of the harshest I've seen, but I still like the set. I can absolutely see why it's received the hate and if I'd started collecting earlier I probably would hate it too. I don't have anything in the set (minus a DF.9 turret from Hoth Attack and the 2014 Snowspeeder, but I think those are good additions to AoH) and so it's good set for me. I've seen the back and I will agree it is hideous. However, since I will probably be displaying it facing forwards, I won't see it. I may still mod it to have the circular appearance on the back though. The back of the hangar, again, I won't be seeing so it's not a big deal. I will also agree that the set is not UCS, but that badge is really meaningless to me, so I don't really consider it.
  7. Oh great, here's the Inquisition. Let's go one by one: Not a big fan of it but it makes sense, I don't like it and plan to fix it, tauntauns were kept in pens and it's a decent place to put it, not going to see it so don't care, I actually do like the small cave, not going to see the back so don't care, easily removable, I plan to get rid of the missiles and the size works for the figure selection, I actually do like the recolored Snowspeeder since it's consistent with my other one, not going to see him since he'll be in the Snowspeeder so it's not a big deal to me, it's not a big deal to me. The one I can agree with is the absence of Leia. It's really dumb to not have her, but it's not a dealbreaker. To be honest, I prefer to have named background characters (Toryn Farr, K-3PO) over named lead characters. The lead character will inevitably be remade, but it's not a guarantee for the background characters.
  8. Only bought 5, so this is everything I have from this year. 6. Hoth Attack - It's not terrible, it's quite nice actually, but it doesn't feel very substantial. 5. Vader's TIE Advanced vs A-Wing - It's a really nice set, but with it being split between two ships, it doesn't feel like a $90 set. 4. Resistance Troop Transporter - It's a really nice ship and it would probably be 1 or 2 if I was a big fan of TFA. 3. Krennic's Shuttle - Look really good, and has more room than you would expect. 2. Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter - I love Eta-2s. 1. Clone Turbo Tank - I have the 2010 version, but I think this one is better. It's sturdier and more detailed with better minifigures. I do wish it could be a little bigger, but it's still really good. Honorable Mention: Assault on Hoth - Heresy, I know. Unlike everyone else, I don't actually hate this set. I don't think it's a great set, but I think it's decent, esecially for someone like me who has very few Hoth sets. I will agree that it's not really UCS though. It's an honorable mention because I don't have it yet. If I get and hate it, I might update this post.
  9. The A-Wing and Desert Skiff are fantastic. I guess it won't be a cheap wave for me after all. Pass on the Landspeeder though. I've already got the cantina.
  10. I have the Flash Speeder and I think it's a really good set. The 2 Naboo guards are excellent, and there's plenty of room to add more guards into the speeder if you have them.
  11. No, it was $400 from the get-go according to this thread.
  12. The Imp Officer next to Tarkin doesn't even look new. He looks like the one from 75055 with a black hat. This is really disappointing. I might get it if it ever goes on sale for $100+ off, but at $500, there's no way.
  13. It's set to come out in October, I think. The Rogue One sets come out at the very end of September.
  14. I thought 10188 was extremely ugly and overpriced, and if this is a carbon copy like it sounds like it is, it'll be an easy pass. Also, 200 extra parts raises the price $100? That's ridiculous.
  15. LEGO never confirms a set exists until they reveal it, so they wouldn't release a statement about its release prior to its reveal. We only have insider information to go on.
  16. Episode 1: Republic Cruiser - $110 Qui-Gon Jinn Obi-Wan Kenobi Antidar Williams Maoi Madakor 2x Battle Droids Daultay Dofine Droid Starfighter - $25 2x Battle Droids Nute Gunray
  17. Yeah, it's what I thought. I'm probably just used to small-forum feel since this is the only 'big' forum I'm on.
  18. The following is all my opinion. I do think that some mods are rude and sometimes even overbearing especially compared to other LEGO forums. Brickset, Brickpicker, and FBTB don't feel nearly as controlling and I feel that makes them more fun to read and be a part of. I used to love reading through SW Discussion Threads and now I'll just skim through them looking for any new information because I don't want to read the mod posts that I'm pretty sure are going to be there. I would guess the mods are more controlling here because the rules are stricter than others, there's more members, or both. Don't take my post as anti-authoritarian or anything like that. I'm not, I understand the needs for mods being one myself. I just don't like the way this place is moderated sometimes, it just feels too strict and that really affects how much I enjoy it.
  19. 47 cm is 18.5 inches, which is what was in the news article. Thanks!
  20. The news article says it's 18.5" tall, but it doesn't specify whether that's with or without the stand.
  21. Would anyone happen to know the height of 75095 on its stand?
  22. LEGO Store employees usually know nothing. They're really not a reliable source.
  23. I decided to go with the TIE. The EV will likely be retired next, you're right, but it'll be sometime before that happens and I should be able to get it before it's discontinued. The TIE was on such a good sale I couldn't resist. Thank you though.
  24. Walmart currently has 75095 for $60 off, so it's $140. I'm trying to save up for the Ewok Village. Should I buy the TIE Fghter now and wait on the Village or continue saving up?
