LEGO press release about their SDCC booth made its rounds today on the internet:

Looks like it won't be long before we find out what the UCS Slave I looks like! (Or on the off chance that it's some other unexpectedly awesome set...)

Well, if you want to pick up a couple of the Obi-Wan Kenobi buildable figures, just head over to Goodwill of Midwest Tennessee

So bizarre...  You have some talent.  Goodwill's site gives me an instant headache.

Yeah I saw that. they must have gotten a case that was damaged and just moved on.

Design disaster in terms of the laggy bands and the roof knob. Printed cockpit though!

So who else watched the second episode of Droid Tales "Crisis to Coruscant"? I thought it was enjoyably silly just like the first episode. Only thing oddly out of place was the guy doing General Grievous' voice sounded more like Lo Wang than the coughing cyborg but maybe that was intentional to make him seem funnier. Anyway the next tale in this five part miniseries "Mission to Mos Eisley" will be tomorrow I believe.

Got a close look at the new snow speeder, troop transport and rens ship. IMO they're bland, no character, just a pile of grey bricks. The minifigs are a plus.

Mos Eisley has been on demand for a week or so, I actually liked it better than the second episode.

Heard some reports of Poe's X-Wing being cancelled due to issues. Apparently the canopy doesn't close properly on many of these and Lego has cancelled any existing orders for it. Will make short supply for the holiday and an easy flip. 

The canopy closes fine on mine.  It's the four stupid exhaust ports on the back that keep falling off.  The design made the pegs that hold them on too short.  It's a sweet looking set but it has stability issues.  I'd get it if you just want to display it but not for kids to play with.

The worst part is the f-ing blue rubber bands that they used, it makes no sense lol and a few of my stickers showed up with imperfections so way to go LEGO quality control

It could be the combination of problems as to why they cancelled the orders. Seems like a lot of quality issues with Lego lately such as Poe's X-Wing and Wall-E's neck. Hope this is resolved before it becomes an ongoing problem. 

They are under too much pressure from Disney to rush stuff out.  Lego is making sick money, but I feel bad for the employees.

but, but, but, we did get a printed cockpit.  They couldn't even do that for 10240.

Good spot - there was plenty of stock the day before so one would have to assume that to be the case.

Sounds like most of the ships in the Star Wars universe really.

Yup piles of grey bricks just like SSD.  If anyone does not want to hold on to their SSD anymore, feel free to send those to me.

Has anyone seen the C3po poly in the wild? It's showing up on ebay.

LEGOLAND Florida is using it as a gift with purchase this month. And it was a Force Friday giveaway in Germany.

Patience - this will be at Toys R Us in November.
