Blackjack Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 The new Padme is awesome, excellent detail. Wonder if they'll ever make an attempt at an arena set? It would have to be modular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Lego Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 It would have to be modular. Why do you think that? Easier construction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCondor Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 So I have $130 worth of gift cards to target. Should I wait for it to go on sale or should i just get it now. This set is for me to make not an investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicblast Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 The Gunship is a great choice. Darth LEGO recently purchased and built it, so maybe he can give you some feedback on the set. I also recommend the AT-TE. I saw it at Target today, but the box is a whole lot smaller than I originally anticipated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studebricker Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 If it were for myself, I would wait for a Christmas sale and use my Redcard for an extra 5% off. Target will match any Walmart sale as well, so keep an eye out once November hits... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This set is for me to make not an investment. I got the Gunship 2 weeks ago and I really like it. It is a well designed set and the minifigures are superb.

MartinP Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I would get the Republic Gunship right now. I have heard it is a great set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diabolos80 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I saw fhe gunship at Target yesterday and it was very hard to resist the urge to buy it right then. I haven't built a gunship yet. I would prefer to build 7676 but it's hard to justify $300 when the new one is half price. Anyway I didn't buy it because I'm waiting for the Sept. LEGO Shop at Home offers. I reeeeally want as many micro bus polybags as I can get :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauromosis Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Buying 75021 Gunship at $70? Would you do it? Would you load up at this price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacs Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I would certainly buy at $70 but I'm not going big on this one. TLC has already released two similar ships (7676 and 7163), so I'm a little skeptical of release three hitting big returns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauromosis Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 What about 75020 Sail Barge at 70? Better choice? I might also be able to get Falcon 7965 at 75, which seems like a no brainer as its MSRP is 20 dollars higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 not taking a chance investment wise. The new one is pretty sweet and has awesome figures, but there are so many other sets that have a safer investment. You could grab a couple fo the figs though and save them. They could be worth somwething if the aren't redone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might also be able to get Falcon 7965 at 75, which seems like a no brainer as its MSRP is 20 dollars higher. I like the Sail Barge better at $70 than the RG at $70 but I'm not backing the truck up on the Sail Barge either for similar reasons. I'll probably grab a couple, but they're not retiring in awhile so there's time on both of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hepcatpunk Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I bought a couple of Gunships at $70 or so a few weeks back at B&******.....it's not a bad deal. The Gunship is as good or better than its previous versions....I'd argue the barge is not (except for the minifigs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauromosis Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Would you rank Malevolence and Lion Chi Temple below the Gunship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diabolos80 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I'd love to build a gunship for $70, but I'm not investing in it at any price. Probably. Nor the Barge or Malevolence. Out of all your picks I actually think the Lion Temple is the best bet, but not yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacs Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Would you rank Malevolence and Lion Chi Temple below the Gunship? I would rank Malevolence below the Gunship, but I would buy the Lion Chi Temple at $70 before the gunship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 The sail barge isn't worth it either until we know what happens with the set. Buy one to build. Big pplus for the sail barge is Max Rebo though. He is a pretty sweet figure. Where are getting these deals BTW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess B&N with membership discount and 1-2 coupons stacked, but that's purely speculation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I have to get the Lion Chi Temple at some point. My son wants it really bad and he hasn't even watched that much Chima yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauromosis Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Okay so here's the live rankings: 1. Lion Temple 2. Gun Ship 3. Sail Barge 4. Malevolence Where would you put the Pirate Ship Ambush? Assume all five are 70 dollars. Last question: where would you put Helm's Deep at $106 in the above list? This is really helping, thanks.

Diabolos80 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 HD @ 106 goes to the top. Pirate ship would be 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
