Re: Recent Acquisitions - LEGO Edition!
I've got ton of sets to build - the entire ROTS line, the sandcrawler, Falcon rev 1, a Mindstorms and a handful of Technics sets. Then I've got to photograph them all and sort the LEGO photo archives out. By then they should be 95% uptodate (missing one Mindstorms and early UCS sets). After that I'll be photographing the displays I've been buying, framing my three proof samples and beginning a hunt for a Japanese promo flyer and the 199 Toy Fair Invitation.
Sorry, that was entirely off topic.

Re: Recent Acquisitions - LEGO Edition!
I had a huge surprise the other day at a store called Outlet World Liquidators. They had 2 Cloud City lego sets for $39.99 each. My friend and I each picked one up. This was really odd because I have been there numerous times and the only Star Wars items they ever had were some model kits and the Episode I kids meal toys but that was years ago. I had been putting this off for a long time mainly because of the shipping amount most people on ebay charge for it. I'm hoping that the Ultimate Collector Series Snowspeeder shows up here since that is the only other Lego I need but I'm not holding my breath.

Re: Recent Acquisitions - Lego Edition!
Picked up a couple V-Wings from TRU when they were on sale for $6.99.
Bought them for the two boys of a friend of mine, since they're kind of getting into LEGO sets.

Re: Recent Acquisitions - Lego Edition!
Not as exciting to you guys, but I finally got my hands on the SW Tie Interceptor for my son on sale ($14.99). I didn't want to pay almost $20 for it. Missed all the previous sales and then couldn't find it at all in the local stores, and started to panic. He's also getting Jabba's Sail Barge for Christmas from his grandmother. He saw me looking at the pics here for the new sets and is already harassing me to know when they are going to be out. lol

Re: Recent Acquisitions - Lego Edition!
I purchased an ARC-170 and an Imperial Inspection set recently. I'm STILL kicking myself that I didn't get to Target last Black Friday to buy a Falcon...
I also bought a ExoForce Sonic Phantom recently - reminds me of a podracer.

Re: Recent Acquisitions - Lego Edition!
I went to a nearby Target during lunch and they were out of SDs. Not really interested in getting the ship, but got a rain check just in case.
At this store, they had the UCS Batmobile as a substitution priced at $54.56.
In the big Target book a few weeks back, there was a $10 off coupon for the UCS Batmobile that expires today.
After talking to a couple people and waiting for them to get a response from other people they were talking to on their walkie-talkies, it turns out you can use the $10 off coupon and still get the "substitution" price.
That means I picked up a UCS Batmobile for $46.56, which is over 30% off.

Re: Recent Acquisitions - Lego Edition!
Got the Death Star for $240 shipped (KB Toys), CTT for around $70 (Amazon) and B-Wing ($25), V-Wing ($7) and TIE Interceptor ($14) all from TRU.com.
I am bummed I forgot about Meijer's BOGOF Black Friday deal. After waiting outside Circuit City since 2am and then going to Best Buy and Target (out of the fortress), my brain stopped working at 9.

Re: Recent Acquisitions - Lego Edition!
Around 9 or so I went to TRU on Black Friday and they were wiped out.
There were about 3-4 of the Wild Hunters pack. Ended up with two of those, one for me, one for my nephew.
While walking along in the line, ran across the Typhoon Vs. T-Rex set. Since I already got one of those, didn't pick it up.
I was wanting to get the other Dino Attack set, tank thing Vs. T-Rex, but didn't see any of those.
My wife and I use Discover cards to pay for almost everything to build up our Cash Back bonus.
As it turns out, KB is a Cash Back partner, for every $20 turned in, you can get $25 KB gift card.
Ended up using $80 of my wife's cash back bonus to get two $50 KB gift cards and ordered the Sandcrawler from them with free shipping.
Granted KB had there's marked up to $160 rather than $140 at TRU and Shop @ Home, I wouldn't have bought the set if I actually had to pay for all of it.
Since the KB gift cards were "extra", I didn't mind picking it up, especially with free shipping (saved about $9) and no sales tax (saved about $12).
EDIT: Got the Sandcrawler last night (11/28/06). Unfortunately, didn't have time to start building but did open the box. Probably take it over to my Mom's to build since I have a couple nieces that would demolish the thing if I were to build at home.

Re: Recent Acquisitions - Lego Edition!
I just received a batch of LEGO promo postcards today, bringing my total up to 29 with only - to the best of my knowledge - five more to go (which are Snowspeeder, Twin-Pod Cloud Car, Landspeeder, Jedi Starfighter/Jango Fett's Slave and Super Battle Droid). If anyone can help please PM me or post here.

Re: Recent Acquisitions - Lego Edition!
Here's a good one: I picked up two 7111 Droid Fighters from a seller over on Bricklink. These shelfwarmed for years at KBToys and then when I wanted one, they were gone. It's interesting to see the difference in the build between this set and the ROTS version.

THE TWO BATTLEPACKS!
Thanks to Steve at LEGO for his generous contribution to our photo archives (which I promise to get up to speed in the new year).

Re: Recent Acquisitions - Lego Edition!
In particular, I'm curious about the color of the SBDs in the Droid Battle Pack.
Just called the only TRU in Wichita, KS and their line was busy.
Maybe to many LEGO collectors are calling them to see if any of the Star Wars '07 line is out.
I have $50 in KB gift cards I'm planning on using to pick up some of the '07 line once KB actually starts offering them.
Got any pics to go along with the sets?Jeremy said:

Re: Recent Acquisitions - Lego Edition!
From what I've seen on the packaging the SBDs are a pearly mid-grey. I would say metallic instead of pearly but that would suggest that they are vac-metaled. So when I say pearly I mean that the lustre is the same as the old SBDs, but instead of blue-grey they are mid-grey. Am I making sense?
I'll need help naming the clones so I'll post those pics in the forums early, before I add them to the archives.

I'm working on box scans right now, and then I'll build the sets. I'll be photo'ing over the weekend, around my hectic tiling schedule (new bathroom donchaknow).batsamd said:

Re: Recent Acquisitions - Lego Edition!
I found (and purchased) the 2007 LEGO (System) AT-ST at the Madison, WI TRU. They did not have anything else from 2007 LEGO Star Wars collection. In fact, the LEGO Star Wars section was totally empty. They had a few UCS AT-STs and Slave I on a nearby endcap, but that was it...

Shouldn't these be at Lego.com now? I was waiting for them to list the battlepacks so I could buy a few, and now the y-wing is on backorder so I won't be getting that...grendel_prime said:

Re: Recent Acquisitions - Lego Edition!
Picked up a Droid Escape (finally, a C-3P0 for my collection), a MISB Gungan Patrol and a MISB 7180 B-Wing fighter from a seller in the modern classifieds forum. I asked for the new B-Wing for Christmas, so hopefully I will be able to make a side by side comparison.
