t´s between 75140 Resistance Poop Transporter or 75094 Imperial Shuttle Turdroom. The Force will help you decide.

With a pretty short 1 year (January 2016 - December 2016) availability, and the currently only minifig of General (former Princess) Leia, I wouldn't call the 75140 a turd. Especially if you got it at 40-50% discount.   

The 41317 Friends Catamaran (RRP £69.99?) does look interesting but, remember that the 41015 Dolphin Cruiser (RRP £59.99) has been a dreadful performer meaning that you'll still be making a loss after fees if you were silly enough to buy it at RRP as it sells for only a little over that. IMHO the maximum that anybody should pay for any Friends set is -50%, not a penny more. The days of buying at or close to RRP are long gone.

A turd in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Or 1 in the hand is worth 2 in the bowl?

Umm .... no.

Agreed, even at 50% there are only one or two sets in the current line up that I would consider

Here´s a nice video that summarises all the sets on display. As mentioned, no SW or exclusives. The blue creator car looks quite big.

The guy even had someone cover the Princess sets with his hand... what the heck? None of the big themes were photographed, not even Friends or Elves! Those aren't even licensed!

Boo, I was hoping for a big set. I did'nt know these are exclusives. At 9.99 I would think they would be at WMT and everywhere else.

There will be two big sets in March to make up for it.

There are rumors that all of the new Ninjago and Star Wars Ep. VIII sets were behind a wall/curtain at Toy Fair, but no reports yet?

Lot of Star Wars UCS 2017 chatter on other sites at the moment with some teasers from informed insiders. To summarise:

 

1. Not two but three UCS sets

2. First one will be delayed Snowspeeder

3. There will be a Falcon but not a remake of 10179 (assume some playset dimension but then again could be cheesehead gate all over again)

4. Third set is something we've a. never had before b. not a playset c. spherical. So could be BB-8, Starkiller base.

 

 

 

General Grievous Wheelbike, Death Star 2 V2.0?

Seriously, they want to be making something out of BB8.

Owning that would be like ground hog day, I would build it, realise how much I dislike him in the films and smash it up, then have to build it again over and over  

Three UCS? Awesome! Better free up some shelf space.

Only the brave (or foolish) will be hoarding their 10179s still. As soon as the remake is out (it's about time), there'll be tears ;-)

if three are potentially in the game so Tie and Slave is a go. Or they will do the wisest possible decision to withdraw Hoth from the game. Death Star 400GBP set is a shelf warmer in every store. Should be recalled for something new.

Three UCS sets to make up for a failed 2016 in the Star Wars UCS range.  

- Greatly looking forward to the new Snowspeeder and hope it will be awesome !

- Regarding the Falcon ... I speculated before that a new UCS Falcon could be positioned both in size and in price between the current playset 75105 and the huge 10179 set. More accurate and detailed than the 75105, but still a set with play features and with minifigs added for play-ability sake.

- I'm guessing a BB8 set here, simply because (A) BB8 proved to be hugely popular in Episode VII and (B) we're getting more BB8 scenes in the upcoming Episode VIII !

Don't get your hopes up too high.  That is, unless you liked the freezing chamber set.

Plus, it's a cool little build.  Man, I wish Val-e would just quit.  I respect some of his opinions, but lately he's just trying to live up to his avatar, and it's become highly annoying... Sometimes it seems like a terrible act.
