May have to pick this up just to spice up our Winter Village

Oh look, it's Hoth Han. I know how some people do not like seeing Disney slapped on the box, what gets me though is all the tiny "Trademarked" symbols behind practically everything. Hoth^TM, Imperial Snowtrooper^TM, Han Solo^TM, Rebel Trooper^TM. The one after Star Wars makes sense but good grief the rest is overkill.

Swiggity-shred, here's a new thread.

Does anyone have the target dcpi codes for these new sets yet?  Usually target releases these 2 weeks ahead of schedule.  Wondering if I should start making the rounds… :0

I personally haven't but I work for Target. We have devices where we can search store inventories even for products not released yet. I'll do a search when I go into work tomorrow to see if we have it in our database.

 

So is this the rumored UCS hoth set we've been hearing about or is that still a different number?

I was going to say, Lego's idea of an 'Ultimate' collector's set has sure come down a bit...

That is cool.  I was hoping these sets would come out in the US soon.  A pretty simple set, but I want anything from the original movies.

Normally I don't get excited about the smaller sets but this one has some cool stuff. Love the probe droid and the big turret.

According to several sources, March is when we should see them in North America. I wonder if there was a production problem in the Mexican factories.

Most likely productions issues.  I found it odd that the snowspeeder microfighter was released and not the x-wing.  They seemed like they should be released as a pair.

No production issues, they are on the shipments, just weren't in the system yet, didn't see any hard dates on the SW cases this time either unlike the Sept and Dec releases so should see a lot of other stores put out soon as well...

Mexico is too busy churning out Heath Ledger minifigures...

I thought that was China. Did the bootleggers split up the territories?

I actually assumed the delay was due to filling in shelves with stuff that are carryovers from last year, and maybe absorbing some of the production shortfalls for Europe last quarter, I'm probably off base, but I doubt that these sets have been sitting in warehouses for several months because someone didn't think to add them into inventory.

I'm strangely drawn to this set, because I feel like it needs to be in my Winter Village.

Santa's workshop needs strangely top heavy turrets?

Oh I'll be binge buying these when they're on sale. I have all the Hoth sets plus a bunch of the Halo winter large boards and have been waiting for an excuse to make my own large winter scene. Surrounded by the winter village sets during the holidays naturally. I can have Santa's sled flick missiling ATATs.

That's the one.
