Tie fighter was just about 60 days early and still didn't sell out by release date at a pretty reasonable price.  Shockingly the best seller was Hoth.  Didn't get many either.  

I do like the look of this box though for Y Wing.  Guess I can build it in a week or two...

update.
Boxes came to the store this morning thats why person which was responsible today for filling up the shelves was probably confused because noone from staff or managment briefed her before about the current situation.
so she just lightsome filled up shelves as she was previously requested.

it wasnt her fault alone, it was just overall lack of communication.

Gotta love "corporate HQ" when they get all in a tizzy over something like this.  Obviously, if they don't want mistakes like this to happen, don't send them to the stores early.  But anyway.. .hopefully that employee doesn't get the wrath over this.  It's just a freaking toy... not a life or death situation... I'm sure there was probably an assassin with mouse ears on it's way to poland.

I'm in touch with this guy who works there so I'll keep you posted.
Now it's a Easter holiday till Tuesday in Poland so we will see later how the situation will develop

as mentioned before I don't see this girl fault anywhere in this situation it was a just a common coincidence but with massive consequences.
IMO it's a store management job to keep such things organized in a professional manner. They are getting paid for that.

So what will be the smaller D2C exclusive for 2019? Another Red 5 or perhaps a Jedi Starfighter? Both are due a rehash.

Pretty slick looking box.  Have we seen any leaks of this or is a picture of this thing sitting on a shelf the first?

Expand  

Yes...LEGO finally took my advice and went with a classic looking UCS box, instead of the "comic book" versions of late.

I sure hope the set has "Power Functions" and a rotating rotisserie option!

Speaking of STAR WARS...Happy Easter!

Does this mean 20 years will there be a HIMYF where they have the Porg line for determining age of people?

The Porg is confirmed but it will retail for less than BB8, so it will not be very UCS.

May the 4th promo according to promobricks is a buildable BB-8 similar to last years R2.
