The first 6 Star Wars films were all released in May. Only with the return of Star Wars they mored their releases to December. I think they wanted to test the waters and see how a May release would perform. I think they were going to push out 2 movies a year if things were going well. With The Last Jedi getting mixed reviews, I think they will stick with one movie a year for awhile. Disney is also releasing Mary Poppins in December 2018, so I don't think they want to compete. JW is a month after Han Solo, so there will be little competition there. It's biggest competition will be Infinity War.

Val-E Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I can´t see Mary Poppins having the same target audience! I agree that 2 movies a year is way too much Star Wars. Especially if it is not good Star Wars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolanfan34 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Very curious on what's up with that Falcon and the weird looking front, from a storytelling perspective. This version is good news for 7965 as well IMO. If you want an OT version you have to go back to that one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was originally a freighter and in this guise it's actually carrying a freight pod between the mandibles.

HandyHand Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Prices leaked: 75207 Imperial Patrol Battle Pack 14.99€75209 Han Solo Landspeeder 29.99 €75210 Landspeeder 49.99 €75211 Imperial TIE Fighter 69.99 €75212 Kessel Run Millennium Falcon 169.99 €75535 Buildable Han Solo 24.99$75536 Buildable ? 24.99$41608 BrickHeadz Han Solo 9.99 €41609 BrickHeadz Chewbacca 9.99 € So ... If the new MF costs a whopping €170 in Germany, it will be most likely €180 - €185 in many other EU countries (NL/BE/Spain). Which is even better news for those of us holding 75105, acquired at good discount. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if it is not good Star Wars. We didn't have Netflix and the amount of content back then. We'd watch Mary Poppins, Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom, The Sound of Music, Battlestar Galactica, and Star Wars on any given night. Oh, and Wide World of Sports. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been trying to switch to a may schedule since Rogue 1 if i remember correctly, they just keep getting release delays. From a selling toys point of view, May makes more sense than mid December. Increased toy sales during a quiet period and through summer holidays. Then kick the DVD out at Christmas to reignite interest and sell second wave toys. Plus people have less going on in their calendars in May. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will 4 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 What are the new troopers? I have debated with friends (yes I do really have friends) and the closest thing to it is the imperial navy commando. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kouks Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Based on the box art I think I see the demand for 75095 will drop off even more with the new TIE Fighter. Will have to see the new one built to make a final judgement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don´t see there being a huge problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You´ll see a Jang video or someone else who puts them side-by-side and there is a big difference. We are getting an OT X Wing playset in the summer too so those will pair well together.
