fuzzy_bricks Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Does the Cantina include the Landspeeder? That seems like a poor decision since there are other speeders out there and they could of used those pieces to build a bigger Cantina.

Caltrops Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I LOVE that AT-AT. I missed out on the last one and I love that it comes with all Imperial minifigs. Did i mention I love this set? Can't wait to get one (or three) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenbart Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Is that a tiny bar in the cantina, but no barman fig? What about the guy who has the death warrant on 12 systems and his mate???? I guess Lego thought "these little ones are not worth worrying about".I think the set is ok, because it is the iconic cantina, but the build is no big wow, agreed???? The speeder nearly has the same amount of Lego as the cantina. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenbart Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 However, 8 figures and a dewback, 70 dollar pounds, is that right???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinP Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 The B-wing minifigures look great, but the ship is meh. The B-wing from 2007 is much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Going to be very hard to wait and purchase the Cantina on sale. Going to want that one Day 1. Would have loved some other aliens in the Cantina, but Lego is going to fill their big sets with big characters. Super phyched about the Bith band and new Greedo. We did get the Ithorian in the Jek set, so he could be made into a Cantina alien as well, since I'm pretty sure there is one in the movie.

jaisonline Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Looks like Vader in the AT-AT set had a new head under the helmet. Not light gray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkness Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I love the Cantina but not a bit fan on the others. Minifigs as always are great but some of the ships are just too similar to previous renditions for my liking. I will probably just get the AT-AT and Cantina.

jal4u2c Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Apparently Sandcrawler is confirmed but not as a UCS. Set number 75059 and will be revealed at Brick Cascade in Oregon next month. Will retail at $349.99. So it's still going to be big regardless of whether it's listed as a UCS or not. Slave 1 was supposedly confirmed as well but no info other than it will also be revealed at an event in september. Info is at Hoth Bricks. Brick Fan also repeated the info from there. On a side note, i noticed that in the numbering of this years Star Wars sets, there is a gap between set 75046 Coruscant Police Gunship and 75048 The Phantom. Also between the 75056 Advent Calendar and the 75059 Sandcrawler. Is it normal for LEGO to skip over SKUs just as spacers? Or will these unused SKUs be used for special sets we may not know about right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it is because they have a new set coming out with that number soon, or they just don't use it for whatever random reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauromosis Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 $350? It better have close to 3300 pieces. If it's in the low 2,000's then this continues the pricing trend set by Sydney Opera House, Ewok Village, and Sea Cow. Lego is now pricing in the secondary market appreciation, which makes total sense but it sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lego is now pricing in the secondary market appreciation, which makes total sense but it sucks. I'm hoping that the set has at least 3,000 pieces. Maybe my hopes are too high, but I really want the set to be over 4,000 pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 At that price you would have to think that this set is going to have other things going on. Without using plates for the build, I don't see how a Sandcrawler could possible use 3,000+ pieces. My hope is that there is the Lars' house with some black skeletons or possibly Obi Wan's house. They will probably throw in a Landspeeder in for good measure. If it is just the Sandcrawler at that price point, it's going to be very intricate. Power functions might be pushing the price up as well. If this thing moves and lights up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lego is now pricing in the secondary market appreciation, which makes total sense but it sucks. The ewok village is priced above $.10 per piece due to the massive number of figures, and the sea cow is 249.99 for 2700 pieces. Also the Simpson's house came in well under .10 per piece. For 349.99, I'm thinking this would be in the 3000 - 3300 range you're hoping for PLUS come with a ton of figures. 2/3 jawas 2/3 tusken raiders, owen & beru, several droids, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seifer Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I love the ATAT and ISD. I've been waiting to get my hands on one for some time now. The Advent calendar also looks nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jal4u2c Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 From what i read, it will be more of a playset style instead of the usual UCS. So i doubt it will have the motorized functions or light up. But i bet it will come with a bunch of minifigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stackables Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Yeah for 350 that set better have a min of 3000 pieces and the set better have some power functions. $350 is a tough pill to swallow especially since we can't get any discounts on these exclusives. I still need to get the ewok village. Might have to pass on the x-wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 we just have to hope all 3k or so elements are for the sandcrawler itself and no included side builds (e.g. moisture vaporators, landspeeder). For this set to be larger than the current one, lego needs to include only minifigs with this set (including some droids built with just elements). i don't even want power functions as that means we'll get a smaller sandcrawler.

mudcatsfan Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 The old sandcrawler was 1669 pieces and came with 11 figures,,, So a 3000 piece crawler would be insanely huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
