Alpinemaps Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 It's not about the court case though. It's about YouTube. Who is YouTube going to side with?If he gets a black mark on his YouTube record, he could end up losing money. His account could end up closed. Successful YouTubers can make some good bank. Drama queen? Maybe. It certainly got people talking about his channel. Which equals people seeking him out. Which equals more views. Which is more $$$. 1 Quote

Folks like Jang need both YouTube and Lego to keep their current biz model going (regardless whether it's for the $, exposure to get cool Lego swag, side hobby, fame, etc...). 3 Quote

ISO8T0 Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 Did I miss the FF II price list? I'm guessing only 20% off max this round. Quote

Yeah, my comment was more about how some people who are not in a position to be directly impacted are mouthing off as though they would be able to take on multi-million dollar companies to defend their youtube show.

In that case, I agree with you. Show is probably too big a compliment for what is usually a montage of stock photos with a voice over with old computer game backing tracks. Quote
thedingman5 Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 Sorry for the crappy screen grab, but here are the Force Friday posters from Shop @ Home: Quote

Val-E Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 To get back on topic, the new sets are up on SAH now and the prices are not the same as in the sticky post at the top of this thread, especially UK prices, which have actually gone down. Quote
andyposterfan Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 No deals live on the Australian Lego site. It's already Friday in their time zone.... Quote

HandyHand Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 The discounted sets are up on the EU sites, and they're ... well ... crap. Nothing there that would make me consider for even one second. And that's including the 3x VIP and polybag that's given above a minimum purchase. 2 Quote
John82 Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) No Scarif Trooper for EUR and AUS, that sucks as well. Not going to bother, can wait for the BB8 Edited August 31, 2017 by John82 Quote
ravenb99 Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 Scarif 3-4 cases per store , well "moderate" sales stores. Higher volume ones might get some more. Quote
andyposterfan Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 What a let down... a few poor sets on offer. no 20% off the UCS tie fighter despite that flyer indicating there would be. this Force Friday is memorable only for announcing the new MF (which we can't even buy today). Nothing worth buying today. 1 Quote
Andyperkins Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 Well the promo lasts 3 days so perhaps they will discount a different set each day and today's hasn't been updated yet as from what I see they are all at RRP. 1 Quote
fossilrock Posted August 31, 2017 Author Posted August 31, 2017 The inflation of these sets is getting ridiculous. Really 159.99 for the finalizer? Really? The ISD was just 129.99 just a few years back, and that set is better than this one. 799.99 for the MF.. Shake my head... 1 Quote

A few are discounted but you have to click on them, e.g. Resistance xwing -20%... big deal Quote
