Phil B Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 This one is a MUST HAVE for me, for personal collection. I can already imagine all the SW and Bionicle characters that will be riding this Speeder Bike once my son gets his hands on it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkris53406 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I am not really a fan of the buildable figures, but this is an awesome set. This is from the scene in ROTJ that got me into Star Wars as a kid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshot Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) Agreed, by far one of the best sets to date IMO................ Edited March 29, 2017 by longshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TabbyBoy Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I like this but, it's a shame about the Disney logo on the box. You can forget investing in any new SW sets as they can come back at any time. Also, Disney will have them churned out by the millions. I only collect one of each SW set now, that's enough for me.

Disney or not, STAR WARS sets have been prone to remakes since Day 1 of the theme. That is just the way that it is. The trick is figuring out which sets will not be remade or improved. There is usually some time between releases to resell. The problem is these new "retro" movies are giving LEGO an even greater opportunity to duplicate vehicles and characters once thought long extinct. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lego Templar Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 By far the best buildable to date. Scout troopers are my favorite and the speeder is a plus. It only takes a few Awesome buildables to have people be "bite by the completist bug" a few more like this and the series will do very well! I'd say half my inventory is buildables. I know they are not the best sellers but I think they will do well once they retire. It's a gamble but I think it will pay off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrToes16 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 This is definitely the direction they should take buildables. I think this works. Now I wanna see these buildables: Han on a tauntaun, Tusken raider on a batha, Darth Maul on his speeder...hell I might even want a Gungan warrior on whatever thing they were riding to battle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the best selling feature is the price for these (for the regular customer) 19.99-24.99 is the average price. If they start releasing them in the 50-60 dollar range I don't think it will do well overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 This set combo out of the box beats those other action figure brands by a long shot and perhaps with a few additional tweaks from the builders' community for absolute perfection.

That's funny. You think there's a long reaching future for this line or that any of them will have eventual resale value anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
