More rumors from The Brick Show and Eurobricks!

If this is accurate, I really like a few of these.  The Rathtar Escape should be a good one, the Bounty Hunter Battle Pack will be a sure fire winner... The quad jumper at least will be something new. 

Although, there are two sets that are still unknown according to brickiest.  There is 75166 and 75167...  that still leaves the door open for an AT-ACT I suppose.  Also, it sounds like there are at least 6 sets for Episode 8 reserved, and 6 battle figures too.  

Anyone have dcpi of new star wars sets?

Feels strange. May the Force be with her and with here family and loved ones.

Sad day, my bud at the gym just told me.  I thought I read that she was stable at one point?

Well she was "stable" before she got the heart attack in the first place... stable just means for the moment somebody is out of immediate danger. Doesn't mean people can't get unstable again.

There were many twitter confirmations after the heart attack claiming her stability. Do we know if her death was connected to the heart attack?

RIP princess - i am incredibly sad.

I am fortunate that my father has 30 years experience in emergency medicine.  When this happened the other day, I talked with him at length about the news that had been put out, and what he thought it meant in his experience.  "Stability" doesn't mean "doing well" or "getting better."  It just means they're not doing emergency work on the patient anymore.  They weren't being "reactionary" anymore, at least, from an emergency medicine standpoint.

Stabilized really just meant that they could examine her thoroughly, determine the amount of damage to her heart and her brain, and figure a course of action.

He said that 25 minutes of CPR, even with the best practitioners of CPR, in the best of settings, is a long time to go.  It entirely possible that mortal damage was already done to her heart and/or brain before they landed.

There's no easy way to segue from life and death to Lego so I'll just try to abruptly change topics...

Are there any official US release dates for the new sets like Battle on Scarif,the Y Wing, and the new Phantom set?

Good question... Lego doesn't have a "coming soon" on any of these sets for the US site while they are already available in Europe.   I remember last year, sets like Obi, Droid Escape pod, Freezing Chamber, Hoth attack didn't show up until march, while in Europe they got them on the 1st of January.  They did have the force awakens sets out on the 1st though... So, i'm not sure if we are getting these on the 1st of January or not.

I think they are Jan 1 sets for Europe and Mar 1 sets for US?

Just talked with a lego store..and he said no new star wars sets are due out on the 1st of January this year.  So, sounds like Europe will get them first again, and we will see them here later.  My guess is they won't hit the US until march, just like last year.

I'll just leave this here:

I'm curious if the arrowhead and tracker 1 sets are freemaker sets?

Looking good. But as for your wish that it's a actual set design: I think you can rebuild this one easily and own the set.
