lebrick Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 wow to my surprise these may promo sets are doing pretty well on eBay. I may have to change my stance on Tatooine set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lebrick Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 man Cloud City micro build would be epic. I wouldn't mind seeing the real trench war and I don't think it would be possible for LEGO to do this in Microscale but this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exracer327 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Micro scale: - Krayt dragon battle (Mandalorian). - Jedi Temple w/ Coruscant skyline. - Cloud City could be cool, as long as it doesn't look like a spinning top on a white base.

brickvoyeur Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 Bad Batch Shuttle. Looks like all 5 main characters included in one set, which is certainly an oddity for Lego usually piecing them out to maximize sales. They may be preparing in case the show flops, or they may treat it like Clone Wars S7 and not give it much love. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely great looking set, with all the main characters (could've been broken into 3 sets really, after throwing in a few bads). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardensb Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I'm pretty excited about this set. CW S7 was great. I hope it is available on May 4th, I was not really enthused about anything available right now. I know it's a selling technique of splitting up the figures and I'm glad they did not but I assumed we would get a few in a troop builder set with a speeder bike and a few with a ship. I'm glad they did not. I don't own a single Knights of Ren because of how they were split up. I figured 1x Kylo Shuttle was more an enough already.

Pseudoty Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 This guy has to be one of the most connected Lego resellers I have seen. He is even guaranteeing a perfect box while minimizing secondary market value. https://www.ebay.com/itm/384109424550?hash=item596eb4afa6:g:7~oAAOSw3KFggP89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree...what a flop KNights of F'in Ren...no way LEGO could have known so much would end up on the editing floor. Kylo's ship stands alone well no matter what..that silhouette is just MONEY and will age really well despite the movies THIS on the other hand... LEGO once again don;t seem to have a clue on what will do well. This show basically takes the best bits form Clone Wars with a super charged plot line (after THE Order)...the characters are already loved...Hasbro figures are already sold out on preorders. If the show is half-way decent...it will leave Mandalorian in the rear view. 1 hour ago, Pseudoty said: This guy has to be one of the most connected Lego resellers I have seen.

The toy manufacturers tend to have more insights to what is selling. I am not convinced LEGO was the one responsible for the decision to produce just 1 set. This set could easily be split to $15, $30, and $60 sets with a few baddies added. Also, it is a little odd to have a single $80-$90(?) set for a show aimed at kids and teens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot imagine any scenario where LEGO could design and release a SW set without a say so from Disney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because his store got their shipment in because his amount available went up to 25 not including sold sets. If you look at his sold listings on previous GWP he has multiple listings including lots of 5 and 10. Just to clarify I am not complaining, well maybe on the price suppression, but more of admiration for his sourcing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
