I don't buy a set just for the figs, but it does play a factor in how much I really want a set, sure.

Nicely done!

Very cool--lots of interesting scenes inside and out. I like the way the wording on the top was done as well as all the little theme-related details for the interior. Lego Lisa!

Sweet! And it has a light up brick...that kind of touch always puts a model "over the top" for me.

Very nice! Looks like the real thing!

No, both the Airport sets and this one will be available in the US, just a little bit later than Europe. In fact, the Airport set listings are up on TRU US right now (albeit not yet orderable). Look for these to start appearing with other sets around June timeframe.

It's a "cute" little set. I kind of want it, but only for just the snow speeder, though. I suppose if you already have the Battle Packs and the Hoth base w/Tauntaun, then this would be a "must have" set.

Ha, that was really fun!

This and the garbage truck are on my "most wanted" of all the TS sets, including the first wave (of which I got just the Army Men). I'm happy there are no stickers, and that all the minifigs fit nicely inside. Can't wait to pick it up one of these days... :p Thanks for the review!

I'd also concur with the current X-Wing--definite must have. As would be Vader's Tie Advanced. And although you have a UCS AT AT, I'd recommend the Motorized AT AT as well--a unique model that will be highly coveted once it disappears this summer.

To be fair, all but one of the items was In Stock when the topic was first posted. At the time of my writing, only 5 of the sets are still in stock, and that will change too as these sell out. I'm guessing TRU just has a limited amount to sell early, perhaps intentionally to stoke interest. As with previous early sells, I expect once the initial allocation is gone, they will stop selling until closer to the "official" release where Lego S@H starts selling them. So far, I haven't seen either of the Airport sets available, so I suspect these will come into stock soon as well.

I would love a Lego store as part of an official set! Unfortunately (?), I think it'll be a TRU instead.

Informative and interesting interview of a multi-talented person. Still amazed she is a muscian by trade.

Against my better judgment I ordered a Dropship w/AT OT from Lego's "May the Fourth" sale. This was right before TRU shipped out my order of Battle for Alamut, Desert Attack, and TS3 Garbage Truck from their sale this week (they sold out online right quick!). Someone stop me before I order that Prison Carriage Rescue from TRU US!

If it's like the other "early" releases from TRU, this won't last too long. It'll disappear for a while until closer to the "official" release. I'm soooo tempted, but I already made a big order w/TRU on PoP and TS3 sets and I don't want to pay shipping.

Very cool! The amount of Tie variants is apparently only limited by the imagination.

I believe there's some kind of cost associated for retailers (especially large International ones like TLG) using Paypal as a third party (either directly or indirectly) and TLG probably has built up a good enough relationship with their current credit card companies where they don't see the need to expand into it right now. I'm sure if it was proven to them that enough customers wanted it, they would open up to Paypal as an option.

Very nice--I like it!

Yes, Falcon is available to order again. I think they had to take it down temporarily due to the pricing error on the Canadian site. I'd love one of these myself, but unfortunatley it's just too big and heavy for me to deal with.

UCS Falcon is "Sold Out"--at least no longer available to order right now. Dropship is backordered to June. Wow, that was fast...

Very nice! Great details and diorama work! The legs on the AT ST look a little off scale to me, but considering the way they were designed, it's still well done, IMO!

Really awesome! Love the design, the cockpits, and the detachable ships! Great job!

Received the same email for the US as well. Free stickers, free shipping and a chance to win a solid bronze Boba. Also noted "sale" price on UCS Falcon, Home One, and Republic Dropship, but prices aren't live yet?

It could be a "mini" magnet set with just one minifig. We'll find out soon enough!
