Star Wars 2016

Got these 3 babies at my Toys R Us before the 20%off expires. Wanted to feel like a *baller*

They didn't have Encounter on Jakku, sadly. I didn't want the clone tank.

haha i didn't have time to see what I could make for these... just wanted to get these for myself at the 20% off.  I guess I can wait until June 1 for Encounter on Jakku and get it from the Lego store with the freebie fountain

 

Edit: Prices on eBay don't really warrant a quick flip.  These should be widely available in the next couple of days I gather

I'll be getting all of those, at least one of each, the first time I can TRUTH them too.  That Vader Tie and A-Wing set is high on the cool (nerd) factor for me.

Also at TRU eBay.

75145 - Eclipse Fighter

75147 - Star Scavenger

75148 - Encounter on Jakku

75149 - Resistance X-Wing

75150 - TIE Advanced vs A-Wing

75151 - Clone Turbo Tank

75157 - Captain Rex's AT-TE

The TRU in Portsmouth/Newington, NH had all of the above (save 75157): I confirmed at lunch. 150 and 151 will probably be my faves, but I picked up the C-3P0 polybags, instead.

I'm in for a Vader Tie/A-Wing and a Resistance X-Wing, next TRUTH (and hopefully another 20% coupon) return.

Too many sets, too little $$$

[thoroakenfelder]

I'm thinking that they made a mistake with distribution. They should have mixed some of those $24.99 sets with these and split up the higher priced sets. Sure, there's plenty of people who will go out and dump hundreds of dollars at a time on their collection, but a lot of people would rather space them out.

Too many sets, wife with too little patience.  We made her this.

[glostik]

how come the new sets arent listed on the SAH website with a release date?

LEGO is slow with adding these new sets to their LEGO Shop at Home sites. But I'm sure that before June 1 they will be listed and for ready purchase on Just 1st.

nice looking stuff but... even well-known SW prop collectors think the prices are insane.  well, at least the ones i've spoken with yesterday.  most of them post on rebelscum.com.  anyway, that vader helmet is a beauty but it will cost over $4k shipped to my doorstep.  that is insane.  it should be priced no more than $2k.

nevertheless, SW stuff has been selling for N times their "value" of late.  e.g. $1k-$2k MOC kenner figs have sold for $4k in many occasions.  heck, i can only imagine how much my vintage kenner prototype stuff would sell for.    getting back to topic, that Vader piece will sell-out quickly because there are still fanatics that "need" items like that.

Apart from the price tag on those, I've heard that the shipping is way out of line.

The melted Vader helmet?  I have serious questions about a persons humanity if they want that?

The price is the highest of the lot. Do you think they priced it up there and limited it because the sales volume was expected to be lower?

No, the IQs of the buyers get lower the higher the price point.

So now that the September line up has been leaked, with the exception of the Death Star have we seen all of the 2016 releases now?

Will there be another event for SW Lego like the May 4th weekend?

it's Force Friday in September. All of the Rogue One toys will be street dated the same day. There may or may not be a promo. Some stores will likely do a midnight madness.

For that kind of money there shouldn't be seam lines on the Bowcaster.

Who says those aren't screen accurate seam lines?

Yep, the night of September 29th is when you want to camp out for an hour or so. Then on September 30th, 2016th at 12:00 am, the rush begins.  Judging from my experience last year and from what I gathered on this site, the lego sets were easy peasy to land that day, it was the 3.75" and 6" figures that went instantly.  In fact, on lego.com here in the US those sets were available the next day well into the morning, and I believe into the evening.  Then some of them went backordered for a little bit, but you could land them pretty easily from then on out. 

This year, i'm planning on getting the U-wing and AT-ST on opening night.  I'll probably work on getting the rest later as points and holiday discounts come into play.

I think that the pop vinyl also sold fast.

I don't get it, isn't it just the Star Wars Lego sets that are available on this day? Why would you need to queue over night when you can get them online anytime?
