Are you referring to the 10% membership discount? Just checking as the new 20% coupon, like always, excludes Lego in Toys/Games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clintonjoseph Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Could be the last ever SW buildable (along with Darth Maul) as the rest have apparently been cancelled. wait i missed this... what were they and why were they cancelled?

A buildable Super Battle Droid & 501st Clone Trooper + ATRT. As a collector of these, I'm pretty gutted they aren't coming. Shame we never got Leia & the Droids, too. They were probably cancelled for a number of reasons - Some were a bit weak, they weren't really Lego & generally just not selling well. They were clearing K2SO & Death Troopers for £5 at Smyths.

gregpj Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I hope it’s a piece that can be easily removed. Turning the gear makes his arms wave forwards and back. You’ll have to make a few mods to remove the gear and axle it’s attached to so the gears don’t flop around but yeah, it’s possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shewie Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I'm referring to the whole trend of jacking up the prices out of the blue. They should know that "Ikea Effect" works among people until some degree. They are exploiting that way too much, way too often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudcatsfan Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 That is freaking fantastic. TOTALLY worth the absurd gear in his back for it to move like that. Definitely buying this toy for my son. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinetu Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I consider the exclusion of Y-Wing Starfighter from double VIP a first-rate scandal and arrogance on TLG part, they may bitterly regret the backlash. I do understand it on Falcon, marketing-wise it's totally different category but for a 200$ category set it's really stretching consumer patience thin... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Falcon will get 2xVIP - it´ll just be sold out! Last year the same happened with Snowspeeder - it´s logical they can sell all they want on release. Still Sweet FA for Falcon VIP card owners, which is a bigger scandal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calmdahn Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Really valuable answer there, thanks Exciter Let me ask ask the question differently. Is there something about THIS C3-P0 choose your path book that makes it more investable than other similar ones? Is this minifig particularly rare? How can one tell if a book with gig or pieces is going to be collectible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
