Val-E Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I´m hearing that and denials. Not much to lose sleep over but the final sets could be short runs and we know what that means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Well, if they talked about reducing inventories in their annual report, this is the perfect place to start. Absolutely no one wants these (except for resellers if they are 80% off) and there should be some sort of change.org campaign to get them renamed as they are as close to Lego as chewing gum is. 2018 is looking like a great year if we lose SH Girls, Nexo, SW Buildables, TLBM and we get HP and Jurassic instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) If the rumours are true then these are likely to be the last ever buildables and will only stick around for half a year at full price (then another year in the sale). Doggydoo brown was a fitting colour choice for Han´s sweater. Edited March 7, 2018 by Val-E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourkidsbuilding Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 What about Maul? That one comes out with Han and Range Trooper correct? Maul could be a real winner down the road if this last wave is somewhat limited... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicSpeed Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) Maul got added to Brickset. I personally like the SW Buildable line and hate to see it go but would understand if it did. With the concentration on Brickheadz, SWBF's are dead in the water. However, if they do cancel the droids, that would truly be a shame, as the General needs some Clone era droid counterparts and I bet they would look fantastic. Edit.....yeah they're done for Edited March 7, 2018 by CosmicSpeed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Danes may be stubborn but they are not that stupid. Buildable figures have none of the core values of the lego brick (creativity, imagination, possibility to combine and make bigger or different things - even Bionicles had that) and other toy brands make better poseable figures. They have tried with all the characters but it´s the wrong product at the wrong price point. Edited March 7, 2018 by Val-E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binary_storm Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I don't think the human characters work at all, but the troopers and robots look okay. They're just too expensive for what they are. The only one I have is the biker scout from Jedi, however (if I had the display space) I'd probably get some of the others like K-2SO, Boba Fett and the Range Trooper, when they go on sale. I actually think the latter two are the best they've done in the range so far. Are we definitely sure they're done? It's just that Brickset still have listings for 75538: Super Battle Droid and 75539: 501st Legion Clone Trooper & AT-RT Walker, both for 2018.

Furious_george Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 75112 was my choice. Just touching $100 here now , so at $25 buy in , wasn’t too bad a buy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From target so sales tax partly offset by red card but thanks for asking. Not picked up in buy tax free or die NH. I don’t want to get into how many reys I picked up at $4. Cant wait til those are in the $50s. Bioncles meets Star Wars was always going to make money. Now they should do this with Jurassic and make different species Dino maxi builds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
