zskid00 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Set 75043 AT-AP is definitely Tarrful, not Chewbacca. I saw this set in person at TRU last Friday. It was the only new Star Wars set they had out. I am hoping they get some of the others, especially the battle packs, before the $20 off $75 expires this week. Quote
peculiar23 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Lego officially released some new info on Star Wars Rebels sets at Toy Fair in Germany. There are some images of The main ship, "The Ghost" which I like the look of better in Lego than the cartoon art. There is another ship called "The Phantom" and an astromech called Chopper that I doubt is an actual set but a cool promo build for the fair. The Ghost looks like it comes with 4 figs, a stormtrooper, an alien in the top gunner spot, a female pilot? and a Jedi. I didn't see any good images of he figs. just glimpses on the box art and inside the ships. Here is a link to one of the places I was looking. http://www.mania.com/star-wars-rebels-chopper-figure-lego_article_139130.html Quote

TheOrcKing Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Just expanding on what peculiar23 mentioned a post above, here are a couple of pics and a video of the event. The Brick Fan Quote
peculiar23 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Please Please....do not let that man near any children.....otherwise the ghost does actually look pretty cool.... Yeah that guy is creepy. and Thanks TheOrcKing for finding and posting pics. That is a better pic of the ghost than the ones I found. Looks like one fig is a Twi'lek. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 So I got a couple of the new sets - The Droid Gunship and the Utapau troopers. Sets look way better in person (box wise). What do you all think? Open them and build? Or sell them for some quick money? Quote
jal4u2c Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Just thinking out loud here....i'd sell them for a quick return. You can always buy them again when they are more plentiful. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Technically off-topic, but...Not that off-topic, and looks promising. My biggest hope regardless of how the 'Disney Trilogy' turns out is for plenty of new designs. Quote

Yeah I looked at prices on Ebay. Droid Gunship shouldn't be too hard to sell but the Utapau troopers look like they are more plentiful. Quote

What do you all think? Open them and build? Or sell them for some quick money? Just do what you do best, open them, build, and then sell as parts.. Best of both worlds Quote

What do you all think? Open them and build? Or sell them for some quick money? I would flip them now and rebuy them down the road. A couple weeks ago my TRU randomly had a case of AT-APs on the shelf and I bought 2 of them with the 15% off coupon. They were surprisingly marked at MSRP ($59.99). I ended up flipping them and netting about $25 profit each. The Super Hero sets are great for this. I sold quite a few Man-bat Attack and Riddler Chase in December. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Here we are with yet another B-Wing! Another Snowspeeder Including something simply called "Yoda Chronicles"? The complete Mos Eisley Cantina (still preliminary but don't see much changes happening now as to the main build). And this bad boy for good measure. Quote
Huskers1236 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Cantina and ISD are going to be early buys for me, very excited. Quote
Sandwraith Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Super excited for the ISD. Bit worried about the B-Wing though... the wings look so thin and flimsy in comparison to the 2006 model (6208) which i love and have on display. Cockpit looks a lot better though, but i dunno, not what i was hoping for Maybe i'll meld the best of each into one Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 They really don't look particularly different from the old ones. If that Cantina doesn't still include Greedo, he will stay worth his $40 or so. Quote

Cockpit looks a lot better though, but i dunno, not what i was hoping for Maybe i'll meld the best of each into one The wings do look flimsy. I also have the 6208 B-Wing and that set is very sturdy, and the wings are not flimsy because they are several bricks and plates to support it. The new set looks like there is one or two layers of plates and that's it. The new B-Wing reminds me of the 7180 B-wing. Quote
stackables Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 They really don't look particularly different from the old ones. If that Cantina doesn't still include Greedo, he will stay worth his $40 or so. I was hoping to pick up one cheaper when the new set comes out. Can't tell who the figs are the far left are. One still might be greedo. Quote
exciter1 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 The Imperial Guard battle pack is going to be a killer addition to the ISD. I'll be MOC'ing the cantina with 2-3 sets for sure. Quote
stinger-311 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I agree the Death Star BP is great. I already have 9. Love the Imperial Guards. In fact I have the entire 2014 SW range bar the exclusives Quote
Huskers1236 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 No greedo in the Cantina set? They really don't look particularly different from the old ones. If that Cantina doesn't still include Greedo, he will stay worth his $40 or so. I was hoping to pick up one cheaper when the new set comes out. Can't tell who the figs are the far left are. One still might be greedo. Greedo is in the set, he's the alien by Han Solo, but still preliminary. The figures are: Han, Luke, Sandtrooper, Greedo, Obi-Wan, and 3x Bith Musicians 1 Quote

I mean, they are using Squidward's head in place of the musicians on the box! Haha. :lol: 1 Quote
