Huskers1236 Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Don't forget the new scout troopers These won't be exclusive, though, even though they are new. There is going to be one in the Advent Calendar as well. As for the set, it is really good. I'm just going to have a hard time ponying up $250 for an Endor set. The set in not underwhelming to me, the price is. It will look very good with the Endor Bunker and will probably help it out in EOL since it seems to be squandering a bit. Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 I just made an eBay auction for a pre order for 700 bucks, some toolbag will bite on it. Hehehehe just kidding. I can already see the pre order auctions coming though ;) Quote
Guest AnnexBrett Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Looks awesome! I go and by all the #8038 battle of endor set I will find tomorrow! Quote
jaisonline Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 And so it begins, the Death Star's price decline :) 1 Quote
TheOrcKing Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 And so it begins, the Death Star's price decline ......Two whole whopping cents off? Yep, a sure sign that this baby is going bye bye. Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 And so it begins, the Death Star's price decline lol, let's hope it goes lower than a couple of cents in the short term Quote
Happyblue22 Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 Don't read this the wrong way, but we should all start using the green "up" arrows as a way of saying "thanks" or that we agree with someone. I forget to do it sometimes myself, but the sooner we all start using those, the more streamlined the forum and conversations will become Plus, by using them you will be also "rewarding" members for answering questions or posting something interesting, as I think Ed and Jeff will be awarding Brickpoints based on that too. Again not directed at anyone specifically Sorry, i'm totally new to this stuff, this is my first forum ever and I have no idea what any of the arrows or some of the other stuff do. Don't want to go around just pushing buttons, but may have to, so any pointers would help. Now i'm off topic, lol. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 Sorry, i'm totally new to this stuff, this is my first forum ever and I have no idea what any of the arrows or some of the other stuff do.

Considering the new forum and its features went online just five days ago, we all are new to this format. There isn't anything wrong about being courteous and saying thank you. Now we don't need anymore replies starting with the old "+1" at the beginning though; that is what the green up arrow is for. 1 Quote

Don't want to go around just pushing buttons, but may have to, so any pointers would help. Now i'm off topic, lol. No need to apologize! Trust me I am still learning new things as the forum was just recently upgraded a few days ago. I am sorry if I sounded like I was complaining or something. What I was referring to is a new feature. If you look down and to the right of every post, you will see two arrows, a green "up" one and a red "down" one. If you agree with a post or want to thank somebody you can click the green arrow and that will count as sort of a point for the other member. Kind of the "likes" on facebook. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask, everyone here is very friendly! Edit: TOK beat me to it!, 1 Quote
Guest eightbrick Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 Awesome! A beautiful set and a refreshing change from the Death Star (although its presence suggest it may *finally* be time to stock up on the DS). Love all the details, my only gripe is the lack of the adorable baby ewok! I wonder if it will be out as long as the Death Star... Quote
Quacs Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 Over the course of the next week or two, Jeff will release the new PERSONAL BLOG feature and a more in depth explanation of Brickpoints will be given at that time. Jeff and I have been discussing the whole Review/Content contest and we are going to make an announcement later tonight or tomorrow on a major change to the current contest. Basically, we are going to separate the reviews and the Blog/EC articles and double the prizes. This new blog feature will enable people to post their own content, then get approval from us. Instead of the current system of supplying it to us, then us converting it to suitable site material, this will make it much easier for us to get content on the site sooner and keep Jeff working on other site operations and additions, instead of converting word files. The new forum and blog setup will make the site a lot more member interactive and will enable the regular Joe to post some quality blog articles and content. As always, the site is a work in progress and we are never happy with the status quo. Look for my announcement sometimes in the next 24 hours. REALLY excited about this change in the contest. I look forward to using this new blog feature! Quote

Wow, I didn't even notice those up/down arrows until you guys mentioned it -- or maybe I did and just didn't see the point of it for this type of a website. Anyhoo... Quote
Diabolos80 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 The point is it adds or deducts brickpoints, which earn members prestige and prizes . Oh, and you need 251 posts to move up a rank. Quote

JoshTX Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Well there went my chances... You will get there in due time...that really isn't that many posts, especially considering what it takes to move up once you get to the high levels. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Oh, and you need 251 posts to move up a rank. Actually since the forum changes, I don't know what exactly are the number of posts needed to gain certain levels. Before we had only four with those gold bricks, now we have around 11 ranks (including the beginners "Brickpicker") so who knows what 'experience points' are needed to gain the next level. If it wasn't for my Moderator status, I would be a Brick Trader. Go here to see the ranking system. Quote
MartinP Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 There are supposed to be about 2000 pieces in this set. I think that $250 USD is a great price. Considering there is nothing like this set. Quote
redeemed763 Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Looks like a great set, I am pretty excited here! Quote
Grolim Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Not sure if I've just missed this but a quick question is: Is this set considered a UCS set? Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Not sure if I've just missed this but a quick question is: Is this set considered a UCS set?I am pretty sure its not. Quote
TheDarkness Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 I don't think it will be classed as a UCS. Let the usual UCS debate begin!!! Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 What's the debate? A set is either a UCS or not? Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 I guess some people consider the large playsets as UCS even though they are not (10188 and now EV). Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 There are two sets I remember people calling UCS sets that were not, the DS and the Republic drop ship with AT OT Quote
Grolim Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 I thought the 10188 DS was UCS for ages, I had to check multiple sources when I found out it wasn't. Didn't think the EW was going to be UCS, so good to know others have that same thought or knowledge. Quote
