It's not about the court case though. It's about YouTube. Who is YouTube going to side with?

If he gets a black mark on his YouTube record, he could end up losing money. His account could end up closed.

Successful YouTubers can make some good bank.

Drama queen? Maybe. It certainly got people talking about his channel. Which equals people seeking him out. Which equals more views. Which is more $$$.

BINGO.  never bite the hand that feed$ you.  Folks like Jang need both YouTube and Lego to keep their current biz model going (regardless whether it's for the $,  exposure to get cool Lego swag, side hobby, fame, etc...).

He made the right decision.  It wasn't worth risking it, rather than just waiting another week.

Just2good posted a video all about how he'd fight it if they sent him a letter like that.

His content is Megabloks compared to Jang´s Lego like production values.

Yeah, my comment was more about how some people who are not in a position to be directly impacted are mouthing off as though they would be able to take on multi-million dollar companies to defend their youtube show.

In that case, I agree with you. Show is probably too big a compliment for what is usually a montage of stock photos with a voice over with old computer game backing tracks.

Sorry for the crappy screen grab, but here are the Force Friday posters from Shop @ Home:

well that's ugly and not really what I was hoping for. So much for TLJ and Rogue One posters.

I struggled to come up with the correct descriptor and settled on show.

You got the length and the first two letters right. Cue Val-E ....

To get back on topic, the new sets are up on SAH now and the prices are not the same as in the sticky post at the top of this thread, especially UK prices, which have actually gone down.

The discounted sets are up on the EU sites, and they're ... well ... crap. Nothing there that would make me consider for even one second. And that's including the 3x VIP and polybag that's given above a minimum purchase.

What a let down... a few poor sets on offer. 

no 20% off the UCS tie fighter despite that flyer indicating there would be.

this Force Friday is memorable only for announcing the new MF (which we can't even buy today). Nothing worth buying today.

The inflation of these sets is getting ridiculous.  Really 159.99 for the finalizer?  Really?  The ISD was just 129.99 just a few years back, and that set is better than this one.  

799.99 for the MF..  Shake my head...
