Agree with this. Mentioned before in the thread, but this series is just funny to me because we really had no clue what the series was going to be like. It's clearly not the Star Wars version of GOT. If it's just 30-45 minutes each ep where we get to spend time in this universe, and the plot advances slowly, I guess I'm OK with that. I thought this ep was awesome. And we did actually get some good mando backstory. Baby Yoda looking at his hands at the end after he was about to try the Force like "did I do that?" was hilarious.

The old man and I at the Packer / Bear game yesterday. Since Shopko is dead and we can't sling Friends sets out of my trunk in their parking lot anymore, we've resorted to dealing before and after Packer games while tailgating at Lambeau Field. Pro tip...save your duds for after the game. It's amazing what people buy when they're drunk. So long Worriz Fire Bikes & Angry Birds, hello profit! By the way...da Bears still suck. GPG!

I don't even want to think about what he was planning on doing with that bottle.

My favorite scene was when Mando was coming for Bill Burr from behind. He was there and not there as the light flickered, coming up closer and closer. It looked like a horror flick

What's up with the hostility? I'm just saying numbers & facts. HERE in Germany BB & PR have about 30€ difference, I don't know or give a f about other markets, so why the passive aggressive behaviour? No sense! You can analyize a lot but what counts are numbers on eBay. DO is is only 10% above PR literally crashed down from 250 to 190. I wouldn't call that performance. Just like I said PR will also rise & drop, so what's the f-ing matter?!

"I wasn't a Stormtrooper, wiseass!"

The Gungan joke was my favorite bit!

And yes , I’m from the future.

As much hate as is thrown this guys way I still enjoy the company of a porg.

S@H US is the only true indicator of retirement. If it is not retired in the US then there is always a chance for it to come back.

Lego SaH are selling Christmas Turkeys...

Both buildings have a cozy warm feeling about them. In fact you could take away the "Birch Books" sign, do a little interior redecorating and have another residential home on your street. Although the bookshop's selection in reading material is a bit light, it is decent for display possibly with room for some additional literature. Overall nothing too exciting or far out; just nice.

Congratulations. And if you have the spark & drive to a personal retrospective, by all means please do share your tale.

Yeah, even his friends are his enemies it seems.

The end left me with one feeling - he's running out of places to find sanctuary. And even those places are dangerous. Mando to baby Yoda, "I told you this was a bad idea." lol

Character development advances the story, if not the plot. I'm fine with "quiet" interludes that give us more insight into Mando.

I think they are going for episodic adventure a la old western, Lone Wolf & Cub, or Samurai Jack. Most episodes barely have anything to do with the overarching main plot, just adventures of main character(s). I am ok with this approach as the SW universe has so many variety of planets and aliens. Feloni also did something similar in Clone Wars series. Most of episodes involving clones took place in some weird planets or space stations. A lot of their adventures or missions did not really advance the clone wars

Since Target is now fulfilling online orders from available stock in stores, it is possible that they sent you a resealed set that someone returned to the store. This also explains the poor packaging and poor box condition. Online orders probably get the 1-2 stranded creased boxes that are ignored by regular customers

Death is too easy. They're stuck on a prison ship with no human pilot (dead), most of the droids are gone too, and there is no homing beacon (which you knew he was going to put on someone). I'm not sure I'd call that "soft". AND he put all three of them in the same cell. LOL!

Loved it too, all of the actors did great as the mercenaries. Bill Burr surprised me with how well he did.

Hey Y'all, just thought I'd mention It's my one year anniversary as a Brickpicker? Maybe Ill write a "what I've learned and how I've changed strategies and even lifestyle" story similar to PhilB awesome post some time ago, but maybe I won't. Thanks to EVERYONE for being such a sharp wit, generous, heads-up community! Good Luck to all going forward. I Expect Gifts!!!

Do you drive a Supra?

Which company are you a CEO for? Looks great!

I got two of those by visiting the opening of the Amsterdam Flagship Store. Sold one for €120 which is a bit nuts I think since it's a pretty small box actually! Minimum price on Bricklink is now 145 Euro. Only very serious collectors who must have a set in original LEGO box would actually pay that much for it... Not my picture by the way, but this shows a good comparison of the box with the size of a minifig:

Sorry for the rubbish picture.

Good example is my Wife, she loves all the spooky/halloween Lego sets i have, and just the whole horror genre in general. When i saw these in store i showed her them, and instead of urging me to buy them, the response was "What am i looking at?". I mean sure there's the back of the box, but i feel like the initial impression sealed the deal. Her lack of excitement for them translated into a lack of excitement from me, and therefore have not bought any.

Mine has been rock solid. I've done the one-hand-flip to show to people and it doesn't move at all. LEGO is very interested in quality feedback, so if you have a few minutes ring up the customer service line and explain the issues. They log everything, and would appreciate it. They may throw you some swag or points for your trouble, but more importantly if multiple people report the same issue, they will look into the design or production run. If you have the box seal codes or the parts bag codes, those would be helpful to Lego as well.

Clearly not designed for re-entry.

Nobody has a wish list that is empty! LOL

I think what's causing the..."run from the room" reaction is exactly the show's selling point...its a time warp to 1983...taking parts from Goonies, E.T. and Stand by Me w/ a Nightmare on Elm Street kicker...once you get past the nostalgia factor (a time before internet & cell phones) it's getting to know the main characters and how they develop. After a few episodes the standard plot formula becomes obvious, but it's all good cheesy fun.

I concur with this. I wasn't a fan initially either, but the show does improve. Also told myself "I'll wait for a good promo or at least double points to pick this set up." My patience lasted only as long as it took me to get off work and casually go see it in person at the store... whoops.

yes...

Am I the only one looking at this set and mostly thinking, "Ohhh, blue plant leaves"!

From another site...

Is anyone else bothered by the missing 2x1 pillar?
