There’s a pattern here of a 501st set only appearing every 4-5 years so those that miss out will happily pay extra for them when the retail price is reasonable. Quote

Expand Depends on the battle pack. I’d go with anything Imperial or that has cool helmet figures. My most surprising one is the recent 75216 with 2 clones and 2 jedi. I found some still in stores in January and have already sold 2 for over 3 times what I paid for them after fees, etc. The jawas ones I bought at the same time will surely take longer. Quote

t_mafia Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 Wish the Razor Crest box as bigger 😕 Looks like a 48x38x7 cm box, which I dislike greatly when the set is $130 to begin with. I miss the days when $80-100 sets were in big boxes. Feel like $130 deserves a 58x38x9 box at least, that was the standard box for the bigger retail sets for a while. Quote

elmaslıefendi Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 I'd be in for a couple hundo 75280s but only at 40% off, this thing'll be overhoarded. But also overbought by army builders... so does it really matter? Just buy the darn set! Quote

Mr_Coat Posted April 7, 2020 Posted April 7, 2020 Any ideas why all the busts have dropped off of Amazon and Target? On Target, the Pre-Orders are sold out (??), while Amazon suddenly went to no longer available. Covid related, or is this normal as we get closer to release date? Quote

I aw the TIE Pilot bust on Target (not Amazon at all), but the $10 GC says that pre-orders don't qualify... Quote

Then I realized it has two AT-AT drivers AND Gen. Veers. Could it be that they're finally going to sit side-by-side with Veers behind them? And what is LEGO's deal with constantly sticking speeder bikes on Hoth? Has anyone ever seen an Imperial Speeder bike in any rendition of ESB? I would have preferred a couple of rebel troops to another useless speeder bike. On a side note, did anyone else notice the snowtrooper pointing his e-web blaster at his buddies? Quote

Might be fixable with a mod. But the designers should have got it right after this many sets. I like the 2014 model overall. It’s cute. Edited May 1, 2020 by Mathew Quote

elmaslıefendi Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 I'm not even picky at this point. I'm glad we got this set. It looks like an AT-AT to me, that's all I care about. The older versions never failed us in the past. Quote
