Alcarin Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 I must say from this wave I find neither of the sets appealing.... kinda tired of looking at ships, I want locations, so many beautiful locations in Star Wars universe!!!! I wish for another version of Aayla Secura Quote
TheOrcKing Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Love cantina...nice set...next time we need sound brick with fave tune in here.That would be a pretty neat brick. It could complete the scene and annoy your friends from constant play at the same time! :lol: Quote

They had all the new sets (Mos Eisley, AT-AT, B-Wing, Snowspeeder, Ghost, Phantom, Jek Starfighter and MTT) but did not have the Star Destroyer. They expect to receive it in next week's shipment."

Sandwraith Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Was at my local Lego store today (Toronto, Ontario, Sherway) and they had all the new 2014 Star Wars sets. No new Chima yet though. Clerk said they just came in today, and by the looks of it they were selling fast. Anyways thought i'd pass this along! picked up a Cantina, and debating going back this weekend for the ISD... Quote

zskid00 Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 I picked up 2 of the Cantina sets to part out because I plan on making a larger MOC with all the pieces. This is a great set to part out for now with the new Dewback and great minifigures. I love all the OT goodness we are getting in this wave! Quote
stackables Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Guess I will start monitoring prices for 4501. Still want that set and Greedo. Quote

This is a great set to part out for now with the new Dewback and great minifigures. I love all the OT goodness we are getting in this wave! Plus you need all six band members to make it anyway authentic but LEGO knew that and expect Star Wars fans to complete the scene with all six. Cash tills ringing in LEGO's ears all the way to the bank. Quote

This is a great set to part out for now with the new Dewback and great minifigures. I love all the OT goodness we are getting in this wave! Agreed this is a great set to part out but I think you will need 4 of these to make a decent MOC. This thing is tiny look at the clearance on the Bith's head. It is definitely not In proportion with the land speeder. Quote
Pseudoty Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 So after looking at this some more and realizing the width of the cantina is only 6 studs while the land speeder is 8 studs I tried to find a set to compare it to. Maybe a bad choice but I went with 6860 since it is a licensed theme at the same price $70. 6860 has less minifigs 5 versus 8 and a Maxi for the Cantina but more pieces 691 vs 609. The thing that stood out to me was weight, the Batcave is almost 50% heavier. I know this may be comparing apples to oranges but the Cantina is just too small. I remember comparing the new creator Bike Shop/cafe to a modular and someone posted a good pic to show how much smaller the bike shop is well the cantina is the same size as the bike shop but only one floor. So 50% less. This set may be a winner in the long run because of the figs but the build is a disappointment IMO. Can someone say JP. On a good note the Dubok is fetching $30-35 on eBay so off he goes. Quote

On a good note the Dubok is fetching $30-35 on eBay so off he goes.Yeah I completely agree it's exactly like jabbas palace but when I think about it the minifigs and since it's such an iconic part of the original movies Id prolly take any ittiration of it especially since it's been so many years since we got the original cantina lol, and as another bright side it is an improvement over the original one just like jabbas palace is an improvement over its original version :p Quote
Stevenplays Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 I picked up 2 of the Cantina sets to part out because I plan on making a larger MOC with all the pieces. This is a great set to part out for now with the new Dewback and great minifigures. I love all the OT goodness we are getting in this wave! I'm thinking I may do the same... I'm guessing it will require about 6 Cantinas to do what I want with it. Having 6 of the new Dewbacks will be nice... definitely will not sell those. My basic idea for the moc is a bar area that is a 2X3 section (a section would be the bar, Cantina band area, Han shot first area, ect, in the real set) making the final product about 4X6 a section, which requires atleast 6 sets... it'll be expensive but worth it to me. Not to metion I already have many tan bricks that will be very helpful. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 On a curious whim, I looked up the inventory for this year's regular B-Wing set (75050) and found something of interest with the minifigures. For those of you who were bummed about Series 4 from the Planets line not making its way over here stateside may be happy to know that you can still acquire the suit which was exclusive to the Endor/B-Wing Starfighter set previously as now the character Ten Numb in the 75050 B-Wing set is sporting the same outfit. Heck, a couple part swaps of the head, visor, and helmet will give you the exact same B-Wing Pilot from the Planets set if you wanted to. B-Wing Pilot (75010) / Ten Numb (75050) 1 Quote
inversion Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 kockavilag.hu, a Hungarian LEGO store listed the 75060 UCS Slave-1 for pre-order at the price of 69.990 HUF. That should amount for a ~249$ price tag. Quote

DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 The constant redesign of these stormtroopers is getting to be pretty annoying. So much for having a cohesive looking army! Not for me. New ones always sell super well. I sold all mine for 30$ /each set of 2. All these sets are just top notch by the way. Love them. The new Bwing is pretty nice as well. Hopefully renew some interest in the big one. Quote
Stevenplays Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) Guess what decided to surface this fine afternoon? Don't really care for all the stickers... But otherwise I really like it! EDIT: Video seems to not want to work... Link is correct. If you would like to see the pictures check out Just2Good's channel on Youtube. Pictures are NOT confidential. Edited September 2, 2014 by exciter1 I think I fixed it 3 Quote

fuzzy_bricks Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 That looks way better than the blurry leaked picture lead me to believe it would. Looks like they have really limited the amount of studs showing. Quote
MartinP Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 That's looks awesome!! I need to get one when it comes out. Quote
jal4u2c Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Wow! Definately a winner! Loving the artwork on the new UCS boxes! 1 Quote
