Fenix_2k1 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Yeah piece count isn't the best measure. I always thought the latest sith infiltrator was bad value for money given its piece count but lots of those pieces are big and the set and minifigs are great.

The longer there is no proof of a new AT AT or ISD, the better it gets for me. I regret not picking up some ISD's. Seems like this will be a major winner.

thegooch49 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Sorry if it was posted elsewhere, but there are SUMMER 2016 minifigure images leaked / posted. The ultimate source looks like they were from a Russian site: http://minifigpriceguide.com/wordpress/summer-2016-lego-star-wars-hi-resolution-minifigure-images/ Some of these look pretty cool! Dengar? Nice! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bet is those freemaker sets will be going for half off at next years walmart clearance. I'm still convinced this is the weakest summer wave in at least 5 years. Rogue One will obviously set things back on track. Really the only set i'll get for my boy is the Jakku set with Unkar Plutt. And maybe i'll just buy a Dengar minifig online, if the price is decent enough. The rest are just a pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So with the AoH set, the recently announced 75158 Frigate and this lot which includes another X Wing, which is only different by its colour. I'd say overall that the 2016 has not been a vintage year for Star Wars Lego. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthBall Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 TRU Switzerland has them for sale online. I assume they are available in TRU stores as well. Couldn't care any less about the freemaker sets. Wouldn't mind buying an X-wing or two when they get discounted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is in no way the new Death Star will be better, unless it's a $600 set. My opinion, of course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree with your assessment, as the winter wave was kinda "meh", and this summer wave is equally "meh", but I think we need to see the Rouge One sets before calling it a total fail for the year. I have some hope those 5 sets will be decent, new and fresh to the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoroakenfelder Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I think the real winner of this wave will be the TIE Fighter/A-WIng. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is the best set of the wave. Then the 2 force awakens sets are the most interesting after that. Both have BB-8s in them.

Codes Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Just a heads up: spotted all new sets at independent toy stores in Vancouver. My initial reaction is that the A-Wing/Tie Fighter set is my favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpinemaps Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Supposedly this is the DCPI for one of them 204-00-0139 I'll confirm that the Rey set has that DPCI. Someone posted a picture on Reddit yesterday and includes the shelf tag with that DPCI on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazingly at retail, and not at the typical TRU inflated prices. I had a few rewards points to burn so I just bought the Encounter on Jakku for my son. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many focused on the AT-AT and I think based on the lower price point, it rose in aftermarket price much quicker after clearance season than the ISD. At the end of the day, the ISD is a bigger, more significant set, and it has Vader. The AT-AT is very tall, but there's not as many bricks, figures or 'heft'. I think the ISD is potentially a BIG winner if it turns out to have been less hoarded and/or produced than the AT-AT. I also feel like the At-At has a better chance of being re-released for Rogue 1, and of course, re-release trumps pretty much any other factor. On the devil's advocate side, i think it's MUCH more likely someone would want 2 AT-ATs for their display than multiples ISD's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilrock Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 I think both the AT-AT and ISD will have a release again within the next two years. While I don't think either will be in the Rogue One Force Friday waves, since the price points for those sets are 90.00 or lower, I wouldn't discount seeing at least one by next years summer wave. Next september we will have the Episode 8 initial releases, and I don't see either happening in those, so that leaves the Winter and Summer waves of 2017 for one or both showing up. However, I bet the AT-AT's in Rogue One will not come with snowtroopers, and could be slightly different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
