It's the same people running both accounts. They post random pictures, retweet each other's accounts all the time, and post this over and over:

That profile says it's a fan account, plus there's no check mark symbol next to the name to indicate that it's a verified account. Probably not even her and just some fan group trying to capitalize. I think she actually left social media some time ago.

OK, good to know... I thought it was pretty lame. I'll have to research to see if she has a real account.

Star Wars FB just shared this. Seems almost all toys (not just Lego) had the Death Trooper on the top right so maybe the lego sets will have the same.

 Force Friday is September 1st this year.

 

personally not a fan.

Gotta agree that this is the weakest of the 3 package designs so far. I was really hoping they would do "Old Luke".  Also, what sucks about white packaging is that if you are "reselling" you can't be buying any cheetos or m&ms when you are taking them from the car to your home without washing your hands first.  Regardless, it's obviously a bigger change from the first 2, but still keeps with the overall main design elements in tact, which I do appreciate.  I just wish Old Luke got the front.

If you're eat flaming hot cheetos it is possible to strategically place your fingers over the red areas. Such as the Star Wars logo. 

Don't you guys use bags?

Isn't that what you meant?

I keep Cheetos directly in my pockets at all times

Don't you use Cheeto gloves? use them while you eat and then take them off when you are doing something else.

For those Brits that don't know... Cheetos in the US are like Wotsits in the UK. However, Walkers will soon be renaming Wotsits to Cheetos. They are like the organic packing pellets used in some boxes, but taste a little more cheesy ;-)

Cheetos were actually sold in UK many many years ago, I don't think they were that popular though 

Most places in London sell cheetos but agree with tabby they are the poor mans wotsits

I take offense.  Cheetos are a premium, top shelf snack.

Gloves? You wont be left with the cheesy residue to slurp off your digits.  It's the icing on the chester cheetah cake.

Right up there with Twinkies ....

I just have to say #$@%!, the new battle packs are $14.99.

I was debating ordering some to get another Batman Polybag from Lego Store... just gonna wait for eventual 30% off or more, whether it be with TRUTH and coupon or elsewhere.

I really like 75178 Jakku Quadjumper...

 

 

I actually like the Vader Transformation even though its a re-release. Also like the Rathar Escape and Quadjumper. A lot of good minifigs in some of these sets too. And I guess for $25 the Republic Tank isn't bad though it sucks compared to previous.

 

I consider myself a pretty avid Star Wars fan and I have no idea what the Tracker 1 and Arrowhead are and there's nothing on Wookipedia

Respect to these guys who have bothered to take and upload comprehensive galleries from the Toyfair. Puts to shame the lame coverage by some of the so-called Lego specialist and fan sites.

They are both from LEGO's Freemaker Adventure. I do like the design of the Arrowhead. It does pretty much resemble its namesake. Plus that bubble canopy!

I really like the scout trooper plus speeder bike buildable... nice.

 

The Arrowhead was well done.  You can tell there were a lot of thoughts put into it.  It looks like the old LEGO Space and Star Wars (PT) at the same time

I agree with this. There is another standalone stormtrooper though I think. That they could have done without. There's about a 1000 other characters they could have done, especially since these appear to be moving back to OT for late 2017 constractions. Who knows with LEGO.

Anybody know when Star Wars "winter 2017" sets will be released at retail (Walmart, Target, etc.) in US? I know they were released Jan 1 in Europe. I heard March 1 a while ago but they are all available at LEGO Shop at Home US already so I am just wondering. Thanks if anybody does...

So this Bounty Hunter battle pack... The box image shows three exclusive figs from 10221 SSD (Bossk, Dengar and IG-88). Surely they won't be using three exclusive figs from 6 years ago in a battle pack?

The photos from the toy fair show plain white placeholder figs with that set, so I'm hoping they'll be updated figs in the set.
