^"The shroud of the Dark Side has fallen, it has.....whatever next?"
^^
Rule the Galaxy
It Only Takes a Jedi
A Million Bothans
Could It Be The Force
All of those are Take That, but I think it still 'works' - although replacing 'magic' with 'the force' was a bit torturous, I'll admit. :-)
I suppose the logical response should be.....
"Aren't you too annoying to be a Stormtrooper?"
With Star Wars Rebels ending its third season I was wondering what sets would come out of the next season: X-Wing, Imperial Star Destroyer, Tie Bomber, etc.
Wow! Those bounty-hunter minifigs look so awesome, especially 4-LOM (for love of money)!
Finally a chance to obtain the Trandoshan Bossk! He was thus far only available as part
of the minifigs in that very big and expensive Super Star Destroyer set, wasn't he!?!
Not 100% sure if this Dengar is identical to the one present in #75145 'Eclipse Fighter' but it sure does look like it.
IG-88 has proper head printing, unlike some assassin droid like it that was included in one of the advent calenders, if I remember correctly. IG-88 is the only minifig that comes with a proper Lego SW blaster. :) The other ones unfortunately are equiped with the stud-shooters :(
The speederbike is a smart choice to include in this set, and looks quite well I think.
The only bounty-hunter still missing is Zuckuss
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Zuckuss
you got me thinking with the whole team up aspect, out of all of the bounty hunters we've seen in film 4-LOM is the only hunter never to team up with Boba Fett, (though they both worked for Jabba) so although yay finally 4-LOM it is a shame we can't recreate the Battle of Circumtore for lack of Zuckuss.
They know saving him for another set will sell twice as many sets to folks like us.
Details of the German May 4th offers (I assume they'll be the same in the UK?):

@monkeyhanger - The tiny print below the 10% banner mentions '...Snowspeeder' so I'm assuming that it's excluded?
Interestingly, a quick Google translate of the website indicates that:On every day of the promotion period, a LEGO® Star Wars set is offered with a discount of 40%'
So, I guess that [email protected] will be totally unusable for all six days, rather than just one...!
The promo will apply to all [email protected] EU; just substitute your local currency equivalent.
So that's what happened to the modifications they were going to do to the #10188 re-release.
Coming soon - A set of the rest of Echo base and a Snowtrooper battle pack to attack it with.
;)
The problem is, with all the new films on a yearly basis, from Episode VIII to the next Star Wars Story film I'm beginning to think LEGO is going to overextend themselves badly trying to keep up making too much expensive product that folks don't want, can't afford or can't be bothered to get because the next film release will have another design that is worlds better and makes a much better LEGO Model.
I'm not looking forward to the next ten-fifteen years of LEGO Star Wars collecting, so much desirable product, so little opportunity to get them before retirement.
Worse than that, it's a set you can only get by entering a lottery, then if you win you have the opportunity to buy the set for $40 - provided you are at this years Star Wars Celebration in Orlando.
Not looking good for getting this one.
I posted this back in February, it seems that the above is now sold out, but now there are two more sets just released.
I think they are really cool, especially the droids..
Latest The Last Jedi trailer is now on YouTube:
Really?
who makes these? are they authorized by LEGO and Disney/Lucasfilm, or are they illegal IP infringement of both the Minifigure and the Star Wars IP?
They seem to be authentic Lego Star Wars parts used to build monochrome minifigs (with things like the unprinted trooper helmets and the like either brassoed or unprinted factory test molds). So if that's the case, they're probably not much less legal than the sale of those parts individually on the aftermarket (though you could make the case that marketing them with the Star Wars logos might be cutting it a little close).
If they were in fact bootlegs of some sort there's no reason they'd need to be restricted to colors that Lego has already produced, considering they could have been molded in any color of the rainbow in that case.
I wasn't bowled-over by the teaser trailer either, but as the second film in the Sequel Trilogy this will be a release day watch for me whatever.
