Thanks.  I do not see any unique elements.  Looks like you can build this from spare parts at home or place a $20 BL order.  

I've often wondered if Lego designers take pride in hiding brightly colored pieces in sets that you wouldn't think they belong in.  The blue, red, green, and pink in here are perfect examples of that.

I think it is more cost cutting than anything else.  The primary colored bricks/tiles are most likely 0.00000001% cheaper to produce than the other colors

My guess is that it's easier to build when you have a contrast in color.

Yes.  The 10018 Darth Maul bust was one of the hardest builds I ever encountered.  They were mostly black pieces.  Vertical/Top down views of the instructions are difficult to follow.  Make one mistake and the whole model is screwed up.  The 3450 Statue of Liberty is another very difficult build.  The colors make for an easier time for beginners.

But pink? Pink means it's a brain.

It will fit well on a shelf.

box looks definitely much better than the build itself! ?

So do we know if this will be available online or just in store?

I believe it's online and Redcard holders only. I'd like to know if it's been confirmed that it will be available tomorrow.

Off topic.  Curious if anyone bought all of those 90% off ep7 & 8 figures and sell them at celebration.  Would those Rose Tico and Rey figures move at MSRP? 

I am surprised no one has found the link. The Funko pop guys have all the links before they go live. 

I’ll be link hunting as well. Will post here after I get mine!

Is this getting a UK release?

I'd guess "Yes" and it'll be piled up high everywhere. We can't trust LEGO to know then meaning of the word "Exclusive" anymore.

Anyone know when Target will put it up on the site to buy?

They are keeping it under wraps apparently. I checked target at midnight and again this morning and couldnt find it.

A reddit post mentioned 2pm. A few people there have called cust service and Target does not seem to know anything about it.

Do you have the link to that post?

It shows up in the Target search bar as I start to type it in......................

The celebration event opens at 10am EST, i assume that's when it will go on sale.
