All Random Lego chatter!

Picked up the lego marvel advent calendar on Tuesday and the lego star wars today as well as bobba fett's starship 75312. I would pick up the advent calendar soon if people were looking to get them as this day next mth I wouldn't say they will be easy if at all to get them then.

Looks good some cool sets there. Yeah the advent calendar is v pricey for what it is. I didn't bother getting last year's one and I regret not getting it.

I saw that in UK these advent calendars (Marvel, SW) are on 10-20% reduced price actually, but ya it is sold out so fast over here :<

Think I'll be waiting til double points in November for Black Friday otherwise I'd be the exact same.

If they sell out, is that it? Do Lego keep it as a limited item, or bring more stock back in? I'm tempted by a few items - The Haunted House and Assembly Square especially - but I'm thinking of holding off on those and getting the Home Alone house. It looks amazing especially the way you can access the house, opening out the walls and the roof.

There was a queue onto the Lego site at midnight tonight. Have never seen that before!

Home Alone I assumed! Ordered first thing to be 150% sure for Christmas. Sods law it'll still be available fine at Black Friday with better promos!

I ordered it today also, didn't want to take the chance it will sell out. I'd rather have it in my paw than take a chance on points etc.

Have my Home Alone set ordered now, be lovely to have that as part of the Christmas decor!

October's sets I got

Saw the pictures of it. Looks really nice now. Ha sadly can't afford the 800 for it but super nice set to get. Out black Friday so 26th this mth. Also you will get gift with purchase which will be the Luke skywalker light saber.

Smyths discounted the Falcon from €800 to about €650 a year or two ago - they used to do sales every September whereby you'd spend €50 to get €10 off or something.

so if they repeat that and get AT AT in stock might be more reasonable €650 or so...

smyths still have over 30 Falcons in stock so not sure why they don't discount them more from the RRP of €800

so nice aha, my maul vs ashoka set just arrived yesterday as well - are you going to get the TIE fighter and X wing too?

Not sure as they haven't done the 10 euro off 50 last 2 years, said was over covid. Probably won't bother ever doing it again. Falcon might go down black fri with them tho.

AT-AT look incredible in fairness. Far exceeded my expectations for it. The price will make it a hard ask. I lusted after the original UCS MF for years after it came out and always regretted not getting it. Followed every rumour closely about a new model thereafter. And when it finally came out.... I found I just couldn't bring myself to pay the price for a single set. Fortunately my wife eventually got it for my 40th.

I've 200 euro worth of lego points now saved up. I've been specifically saving them for this. But again, I think I'd still struggle to pull the trigger.

yes, i got this £5 off 15 amazon so there goes for that (when it is already on reduced price) :D this is actually my first ashoka that i have always wanted her (was in dark age during clone wars lego period..), i wish they will release that Ghost ship, the secondary market price for that is mad (i did get its micro fighter version ha).

yes, indeed thats like a month rent worth of lego for these UCS sets nowadays lol. good job from wife ha.

I bought UCS MF iirc (around) the lowest price via John Lewis (shipped from UK) last year - when it is about to retire and John Lewis did a clearance so all in all it costed me ~600e (conversion rate that time) - finally pulled the trigger. Otherwise, my mate actually put 50e in piggy bank per month and then buy it when saved up (was at full price 800e).

Luckily only R2D2 is in my UCS list to get (in next 1-2 years lol), not in a rush (and no space to put it aha)

Yes, really hope they do! the pilot girl showed up in Bad Batch show so maybe the ship may show up in season2 of that ha.

yes definitely kanan! we realized also later it was obvious lol, quite subtle really. The ship may show up before the actual clone wars crew so ya maybe :p on the other hand, what is the chance that soon we will get a Boba's Hut set (trailer dropped a few days, looks good cant wait) - but i want an actual Jabba big fig lol

Really should be a dedicated Star Wars Lego chat thread tbh

Either you're mad into it or have no interest at all.

Got my home alone set delivered yesterday - very happy.

UCS AT AT looks incredible but i might hold off 6-12 months and see if i can get a discount, €800 a lot for a set and won't get to build it for at least 6 months.

amazing set though.

If that's the case I am happy with those figures as seems a fair amount for 100. Just depends how big the set is. Yeah some people can have decent savings on adverts with lego but I say in regards the AT-AT probably won't as they seem to only have sets that are in shops. Unless smyths sell the AT-AT then they might but I doubt it sadly that you will get it on adverts for 500.

Shame about the rancor if its a brick built one but better than nothing if that's the case. Yeah pricey way to get him, I'm sure he will pop up in another set down the line to be fair. Cruiser is pricey. 146 on zavvi but 4 delivery so only 10er saving there from lego store, but sometimes Zavvi.com have codes was one other wk an additional 12% off so there a decent site to keep an eye on and register with them.
