The cw series is really enjoyable. Especially if you realize it's made for little kids and not men in their 40s. . It's a fun 1/2 hour of star wars.. The invisible hand storyline was good fun.

I really do enjoy the CW series and everything that came from it but I have to keep telling myself not to take it to serious otherwise I would have a stroke 2 minutes into an episode

Thanks! It took me about 6/7hrs to build i believe. No I missed out on the may 4th sale, only just bought him really. Bought him just over a week ago.

Cool. Sounds like a good build to jump into.
Anything over that and I may freak out or lose interest.

He's the one large piece I could buy at full price.
I just hope they have another 20% sometime soon, as this is on my must buy list.

Congrats again, and thanks for sharing a pic!

Re: LEGO Star Wars - anyone?

Almost forgot...picked up 2 Rebel Trooper and 2 Snowtrooper battle packs today!

The Snowtroopers are freaking awesome, and makes me anxious for a SSC Sixth-Scale version (and/or PF version).

I'm in Japan now and it looks like the Jabba playset is being released on the 8th here. Unfortunately, it'll work out to be at least $50 more than if I got it in the US. Is there any word on when it will be coming out in the states?

Oh man, that would be tempting!!! Plus you would always have the story, especially since your a big Jabba fan.

I've read between June and August (although it's officially in the August 2012 release). With Kmart and WM both clearing out sets, it seems like it will be sooner rather than later.

Re: LEGO Star Wars - anyone?

WM and KM are clearing out the older sets?? Anything good, Gibby?

Re: LEGO Star Wars - anyone?

Mainly PT stuff, so not really.

K-mapart had some PT sets, some HP and some Pirate sets for dirt cheap.
Found out about it through SD, then went to the store, but couldn't pull the trigger since I was really looking for a Slave I on the cheap.

WM was a different story. One I went in had almost everything on clearance/red tagged, with the exception of the X-Wing, the Battle Packs and the Planet sets, but none of the sale stuff was left. They also had one of the Pirates ship on sale, but again, gone. The manager said it was all cleared out in 1 day.
The other WM I went to had almost everything in stock with nothing on sale.
Go figure.

I wish I could find a Millennium Falcon on sale.

Re: LEGO Star Wars - anyone?

You and me both, Ben!!
OMG, I would go ballistic if I found one on the clearance rack!


Ben - if I miraculously find a couple MFs on clearance (say 30% or more), do you want me to grab one for you?

I'd definitely appreciate that. Chances are even slimmer, but if you see more than one Slave 1 on clearance anywhere, I'd definitely be in for that as well.

Thanks for offering, by the way. I'll keep an eye out in these parts as well.

Re: LEGO Star Wars - anyone?

The Slave 1 has really dried up outside of TRUs... Target clearanced theirs out in January, though I ended up having to go through TRU. There were some GREAT sales on the MF last December too. Anyway, I'll keep my eyes open for any sales guys.

No problem, and thanks for keeping an eye out up there.
I'll shoot you a PM if I ever find anything.

Damn. If only I would have been into this stuff around Christmas.

K-mart had Geonosian Starfighters for $11. It's normally $30 MSRP.
