wolvergeek Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Called local Lego store and asked to get on list. They said it was only people on AFOL list that got invites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanfjr Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) Just picked up my invite, I tried to see if I could get an extra one, they were not able to do it. I asked the store associates if they had any pictures of what the space slug looked liked, they had no idea they were preaching it is a "secret set" I guess time will tell. Its going to be one of those hard decisions to keep for personal or sell for profit I am sure due to the limited rarity of this event.

exciter1 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 If I drove 100 miles each way, I'd keep it. If I drove 10 minutes, I'd sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am about 50 miles each way from the store, so I am split down the middle haha! I would say for me, it will all depend on what the set really is, big, small, cool, not, and what the resale value fetches. There is too much to speculate right now with nobody having any real info on the set. all we have is @Alpinemaps saying "Another poster on Eurobricks as said they've seen a picture of the set, and that it's small - around 150 pieces. They also mentioned the scale to be similar to that of an Advent Calendar MF.", and that gets no credit IMO because it is almost like saying, I have beachfront property for sale in Nevada are you interested? we need cold hard proof not just "some guy said he seen" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the same speech at two of the stores I called but the third one, well that one stood and handed me an invite.

I haven't seen any new info posted (my source was Eurobricks). @exciter1 is on the money. I'm sure the box art will be nice, but, at $150, I'm more than willing to sell. I'm planning on picking up a UCS TIE finally, and selling that to pay for it would certainly help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chutchis Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 In Glasgow store today and the employee said he couldn't say anything about freebies as he hadn't been told but SW would have 10% off with exception of Hoth UCS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martae54 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) I have a fresh $100 bill for one of these shipped.if anyone wants to sell one. I "May" regret it, but I want one! (Mileage for me is over (200) miles).. Can anyone else confirm the 10% off SW sets? Edited April 19, 2016 by Martae54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martae54 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 maybe something like this. Featuring Advent size MF.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DadsAFOL Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 It's a vignette similar to the image above. ~160 pieces. The only polys with that many pieces were the master builder academy sets, so it's possible it's bagged not boxed, but seems unlikely.

I don't think LEGO would be so secretive about a polybag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 The Dagobah Mini Build from last year's Comic Con is 177 pieces, and the Tatooine Mini Build from SW Celebration last year was 178 pieces. I could see this being something similar in size/scope. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheese Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 What do people think? If this is what it actually is, there's going to be a lot of disappointment. Maybe this is TLG way to get people excited about the Hoth set, since this actually makes the Hoth set look good! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpinemaps Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Of course, I like it. It's not really any different than the Tatooine set or the Dagobah set. And those were available in smaller numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete411 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 It's still going to go for $60 on ebay. I wish I had the opportunity of dissing it in person but alas, no invite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
