I grabbed that one as well. I got lucky as it was the last one in a store and they price matched another store that was sold out. It's a great wave, one of the best in a few years. Something for all Star Wars fans.

UCS Mos Eisley Cantina has been leaked and seems it will be up for sale in two weeks. Looks really awesome!

Day 1 buy, looks absolutely fantastic! So much better than the garbage Cloud City set(which had great minifigures). Only wish the common minifigures like Luke, R2, 3PO, etc were replaced with more obscure cantina creeps...but i get why they did what they did.

Got a Barracuda Bay set and love it. Going to hit up TRU to pick up that 3 in 1 pirate set and may snag a second Baracuda Bay to have the ship built as well. Also going to use bricklink and grab a couple more pirates to round out the crews.

Yep I ordered one this morning. Not sure how fast it sold out but I see it is gone for now. Probably will be another restock before the holiday season.
For the bonus, I heard it was minutes in the US. A couple of hours here.

I was watching pretty close last night and in the morning here in the US. Seems that it went up for grabs about 9AM Eastern time here. Lego really needs to better communicate how and when exactly they are going to release this limited stuff. They aren't consistent at all. The UCS Falcon was a complete mess. I got a day 1 order in but had to wait a good while to get it in. I hope this isn't a similar situation.

yea, only reason I knew about it was because of Wario64 Twitter post about it going up. Not sure if it's the last of them or not being a con exclusive.
Official!!!!

As nice as that Batwing looks, I just can't afford it. I'd rather have the '89 Batmobile.
I can afford Mega Construx on the other hand!
Just got the Aliens Queen the other day, a very interesting build and I really like the overall look once it's done. Made from a ton of ball joint pieces so it has great articulation. All prints, no stickers and a great value at $20. I actually want to buy another.
I also bought the Battle Cat vs Roton set today at Walmart!
The build on the Roton is fine, looks great once assembled and the blade spins when you push it forwards (due to friction from a wheel with rubber tire underneath. It has working stud shooters on either side, they work well and a better design than Lego. The prints on Mer-Man, He-Man and Battle Cat are fantastic! The articulation on BC or Cringer depending on how you look at him is great, similar to the articulation on Breakout Beasts with the added hinge at the base of the neck on Riley, the German Shepherd from the Call Of Duty line, and swivel hinge joints in his front paws. If you attach the rear paws to a base you can get some great rearing up poses. I think the only thing I'm not liking is the price, $30 for a set with one simple build and three great Minifigures. The special blade piece needed for the Roton is probably why the price is so high.
Yeah, I had to do this while I'm at it

Thanks for the notice!
I didn't know about this set before it was posted here in the thread, usually I only go for SW spaceships and avoid play sets but this is the most notable scene in all of Star Wars so, yeah I had to place a order.
Want to build it, but it also might be worth something later... yeah I'll probably build it.
The only set I never built and kept misb is the Ideas Doctor Who Tardis. The other sets I haven't built are simply for lack of display space and not for wanting to keep them in mib.
