GiliusThunderhead Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Don't count these little critters out yet I can easily see a flash back where Ren goes back to Endor to pick up vaders helmet.... and probably takes out some revenge on the Ewoks ala Anakin on the Tusken raiders style. I'll put my neck on the line here and say that this is the SW equivalent of Diagon Alley. Great figure selection, good display piece and honestly one even grown adults can spend a few mins re-enacting there fave Endor scenes with. Hate to just re-iterate what others have already said but this one is so unique as a set and appeals not just to SW fans. Plus pair this up with an Orthanc and you've got a great proxy for the forest of Fangorn. 1 Quote
jeff_14 Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 My son and I have used this set and a bunch of Hobbit and other sets (eg Attack of the Wargs) to make a forest play set that is multi purpose and currently overrun by Jurassic World dinos. 5 Quote

You know the answer to this: none. I am basing my opinion on 25 years of buying, selling, and collecting Star Wars, hundreds of thousands of dollars worth. Ewok collectibles, with few exceptions, appreciate less than most other Star Wars collectibles. It's just my opinion, but my opinion has some weight behind it on this topic. You don't have to heed it. I really like this set and own it. We have built it. It's a great set. But I would not invest much in it. Ewoks in general are not very popular. In Lego, the closest thing we have is Battle of Endor. Glad I did not invest in that one, but I do own one. Edited January 12, 2016 by JDLego324 2 Quote
Salimr Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 I have only wanted a few Star Wars sets, my son likes some and my daughter never wanted a Star Wars lego set, until.... We saw this ewok set. My whole family loves it! My son loves the figures and my daughter loves the trees. It is really hard to find forest type lego sets that don't look like a friends set or the neighbor kid made them. If it was sold out I would easily have spent 2x the price on it. 5 Quote

steveviscious89 Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Yeah I wanted to get it from Lego because I had ten dollars on account which basically covered part of the sales tax. Quote
steveviscious89 Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Yeah just got the email saying that it has shipped, so I must have snagged one of the last ones for now. Lucky me. Of course I'm going to open that box and build it, thus making it completely worthless to most of you...haha. Quote

Loghamel Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 3 of these sets in my LEGO B&M. Shoulda checked the seals, my bad. I'll try to go back in the next couple of days and take a look at them. Quote

They clearly made a new batch for the very end of the year let's see how long they last and if there are any more batches. I think they will last well into next year Quote

The S sets are made in Europe. Were there also EV sets with xxR4 / xxR5 sealcode sold in the US or were all EV sets sold in the US from the very start with xxSx seal code ? Would be interesting if the first is true. That would mean the Mexico Lego factory hasn't been producing EV any longer and superfluous sets from Europe have been shipped to the US to be sold there. If that's true, then retirement will be imminent... Edited January 15, 2016 by Haay Quote
Val-E Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 EV was Too in the US for several months so none have been produced there. Perhaps, as you say, they have rerouted EU stock or they simply decided only to make it in Europe now. Again, knowing if there were past seal codes from Mexico would be useful info. We could see something similar with Imperial Hotel where there don´t seem to be any more recent codes than week 16 from factory H available in Europe. Quote
