ARCHIVE - LEGO Forums (2009-2017)

Ya, but LEGO is a child's toy and children find knights and soldier far more fun to play with than serfs and peasants. I don't think there are many children interested in recreating the feudal system.

So far, my only must buys are the Wampa Cave and the yet to be seen Midi-Scale Star Destroyer. I might get the new AT-AT, but I'll have to wait for better pictures before I make a more definitive decision.

If I was a betting man, I would say Aayla Secura. Then the third one might be either General Grievous or the Senate Commando Captain.

I believe he is referring to sets 1380-1383, which were monster oriented Studio sets released in 2002.

That makes sense.

I switched my region to UK and I must say, the Slave 1 animation really makes me want to buy the set.

It looks nice. I'll take it there is no word on a possible price yet.

Yes, he did. So did the R2 unit in the new keychain.

I wouldn't be surprised if Bane ended up coming out in a magnet set, much like Admiral Ackbar and Barriss Offee, before the year's end.

What you talking about willis? I may just be blind, but I don't see any of the summer sets at starwars.lego.com.

Because stores might not open up in certain parts of Canada because of certain sale taxes. That limits where the stores pop up. I've got to drive an hour and a half to the nearest LEGO store and that happens maybe once a year. It stinks not having a store near you. Well, I have to drive an hour to ...

Pictures have emerged of a new LEGO Star Wars magnet set and two new keychains. The magnet set features Kit Fisto, Barriss Offee and a Captain Jag. No word yet on a release date for either the magnet set or the keychains. http://toysnbricks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/fisto-magnet.jpg http:/...

I disagree. I think $60 is a fair price for an 800 piece car.

I don't have it. It looks like a good set, but the price for parts is a big turn off.

I'm dieing to get my hands on the Afro and the surfer's hair. Overall, Series 2 interests me a lot more than series 1.

@ legitimatealex

I completely agree. I would love to see a bank set for the City theme.

I don't think that many people actually knew about this and even less probably utilized it. TLG probably felt that it wasn't worth the effort.

Welcome aboard.

I agree with vynsane. It will be hard enough to get things like Zombies with people hording them for apocalyptic MOCs.

You've been great so far at reporting sales & deals and new sets. So, I voted for reviews as it seem to be the only part that your coverage is lacking.

You have to remember that LEGO is a child's toy and as a child's toy it is marketed towards children not your average adult collector. Personally, I don't think super rare minifigs, as you suggest, would bee something that your average child would be interested in seeing.
