YouTube link: I'm absolutely GEEKING OUT here!!! And also jumping with joy for my AT-ATs and ISDs which are both showing prominently in this trailer. *WOOT*

I so wish they titled it: Star Wars: Rogue One and not the cheesy sounding Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

Can anyone confirm whether or not "Rogue One" is a reference to Forest Whitaker's eye?

This Batcave is insane, everything from the scale, detail and just the sheer amount of bricks used is incredible.

Got 3 Slave 1's from 2 Toys R Us stores with Credit card and 20% Coupons all 3 came to $152.63 my Quota is filled on these 30.

Now we need Looney Tunes.

Should have kept the purchase and used the feedback mechanism to voice your concerns. Does wonders to if you leave them a 1 out of 10 and tell them their service stunk.

Can't wait for this minifig.

I'm sure we'll get some more practical sets.

Built the Architecture Sydney Opera House last night with a little help from the kids.

Lol they knew they would have to show some fighting scenes when they brought Donnie Yen in. Otherwise Disney is going to make a lot of his fans angry. What's wrong with fighting with stick? Rey fought with a stick in movie 7

Here's the trailer for anyone interested. I'm geeking out. Edit: I was going to point out what I saw, but I don't want to spoil it. Watch and enjoy http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/rogue-star-wars-story-teaser-trailer-debuts-gma/story?id=38199240

Here's a good little article with gifs, stills and analysis. http://io9.gizmodo.com/every-cool-detail-we-spotted-in-the-rogue-one-a-star-w-1769606654

I hope we don't get another tie fighter and x wing, I'd much prefer they spent the time and effort on some of the new ships lol.

Typical Toys R Us, you never know what you're going to get.

I also think everyone has forgot to mention that Mon Mothma has aged like a fine wine!!!

I'm glad to see the Internet already jumping to conclusions about this film by viewing 1:30 of footage. December can't get here fast enough.

I would but I sold my last one 3 weeks ago already at $350. This must be how the Empire can afford to build so many Death Stars. Selling military surplus in Like New condition. Now Timmy will pay the price for his lack of vision.

I didn't expect Jackie Chan fighting with a mop stick, so hopefully that gets cut.

I'm packaging all my AT-ATs with LEGO palm trees!

The teaser is similar to the Force Awakens #1 teaser in that it just gave a little information, but not a whole lot and definitely doesn't give a lot of information to where you feel like you have the entire plot of the movie, like so many trailers out there. I like that Disney does this, but the trailer left me a little bit cold too. A few scenes in this make me cringe. One is the martial arts guy whacking a storm trooper with a stick with all the others troopers surrounding him. Hopefully this is just some training regime, because it just seems out of place and not like Star Wars. The other scene is with Forest Whittaker character. Leaves you wondering what he is, and it just seems like that should be left out. Regardless, i'll still be there opening day, in IMAX, first show, in the middle part of the theatre!

I'm a much bigger fan of Looney Tunes than I ever was of Disney.

I appreciate articles like these. They help condense the loads of information available on this site. But I do worry that new investors (or the “investor-curious”) can get unrealistic expectations when reviewing a list of Lego sets that have increased in value “50% to 130% in the past six months”. It is repeated time and again in the forum and other blogs, but cannot be stressed enough: These theoretical returns are far from the reality for most of us. I feel lucky that I have at least half of this list in my inventory, but still I’m not overly excited about the returns so far. Take into account shipping costs, ebay fees, etc, and the profits are not so amazing. For 31025 Mountain Hut and 75034 D.S. Troopers, I might make $1 or $2 profit on each one if bought and sold at the prices shown here. On the 75030 Microfighter and 75049 Snow Speeder, I might earn $5 each. I would need a whole walk-in closet stacked full of these sets to pay for a nice dinner out. After shipping and fees, actual net profits on these are closer to 5% - 30%. Of course, 75054 AT-AT, 75055 ISD, and 76023 The Tumbler could turn a nice $50 profit on each one if sold today. And 70810 The Sea Cow will easily put $100 in my pocket. That’s fantastic. All of the sets on this list have done very well over the last six months. But keep in mind, I – and many other investors – didn’t buy these sets six months ago. Most have been in my inventory for over a year, which of course, dilutes our returns even further.

I broke down and bought The Maze last night, along with a Kanan Speeder Bike to get the freebie. The more good reports that come out, the more I've been wanting The Maze. I'll build it after work sometime and set it on my conference table for the guys to tinker with when they are in my office.

Good choice. Really enjoyed the build although I haven't successfully completed the game yet. The box and build were bigger than I expected. Well worth the money, I hope LEGO Shop at Home raises the limit on this set once it's been out for a while as it's certainly a set I'd want to give as a gift.

Might need a disguise today.

Yes, according to imdb: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0642444

Entertainment value of die hard investors, cheats, scoundrels, morons and the righteous all chiming in. It's way more fun than my Facebook feed.

Isn't that what the internet does? Hell, TFA trailer released much earlier than 8 months out, and people jumped all over them for like a year

Right...story continues... Buyer sent 4 messages in succession, the last one asking "if you are ok with our offer please let us know soonest as my son is going crazy next to me". Perhaps I should put them out of their misery 😈

every day...

You're thinking of the Death Stare.

Maybe he's an ex janitor like Finn?

I'll be AMAZED if there aren't already bloody loads of the thing hoarded by the horde.

Slave-1 showing in stock at my local store. Jackpot.

Some more tips: 1. I always go to SYW.com and verify the conditions. Sometimes the "You have $x in Surprise Points" is an aggregate value of all the $0.50 and $1 off coupons of specific items (typically grocery items) 2. Check the conditions and the departments. 3. Check if the coupon is online or in-store. I don't have a KMart closeby, so in-store means nothing to me. 4. Check if the points are exclusive (nowadays they all are). If not exclusive, you can look at stacking them with $5 off $35 coupons, $10 back on $50 etc. 5. Free shipping for us common folks (not the multi-million SYW point burners like @exciter1 (or his wife)) starts at $35. But in-store pickup is typically free of charge, and so is ship-to-store. Some products can get shipped to a Sears store as well - handy if there's no KMart nearby and you want a $15 item without paying for shipping. This is how I capitalized on a series of "$5/$6/$7 surprise points for purchases of $14 or more" - get a $15 item sent to Sears for pickup and effectively get close to 50% off. Good luck - just remember to always check if the purchase "makes sense". I often find myself adding $70 worth of product to my shopping cart to get $15 surprise points on $60, just to realize that I really don't need those sets and that I'm still spending $55 on unwanted merchandise. Luckily I do this sanity check and hence don't get suckered in :).

Only another 6 months of over-analysis by fans till all is revealed. Time to raise prices on all OT, stuff methinks. Fixed.

Umm excuse me but they don't use bothans to steal the first Death Stars plans it's the second Death Star.

Yes, why would the Emperor be kneeling?

Sometimes, you may want to go into your account and verify if it's on a $$$ amount purchase or certain type of product. Add some stuff to your cart and you should see the points available if they apply.

That alarm noise was annoying

I predict at least 3 seconds

First Order Transporter!

When I build my Fairgrounds MOC, these will be great "walk around" characters to inhabit the grounds.
