Ah, I forgot about that one: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Shuttle-Expedition-10231 I only remembered the City ones. Too bad that set goes for $250 now.

Im hoping for a UCS AT-AT, like the one (or THE one) that Cavedog got 10000 votes of support for at Lego's cuusoo site. I realize it is a fairly large kit (6k pieces if i recall correctly) which dwarfs anything else they have made except UCS Mil Falcon and Taj Mahal. I would even be willing to pay up front in some sort of interest-gauge initiative, like a Lego Kickstarter.

I'm holding out hope for a UCS LL928.  https://ideas.lego.com/projects/68687  I really need to make a ship someday with that sandwiched wing style, it looks so epic.

Stock of almost everything free for orders run out by the first week. However with Jan being their big turn over day for new sets and tons of resellers snapping them up so that they go out of stock online to then resell on ebay for way more was the perfect storm to make all of those freebies go out within like 2-3 days.

So I picked up my first Lego set in like 12 years over the holidays (the AT-AT) that combined my long dormant love of Star Wars and Lego. Are there any recommendations for fun sets along those lines, preferably Star Wars?

Are there any recommendations for fun sets along those lines, preferably Star Wars? Although it's from the Rebels cartoon and not Original Trilogy (TM), the TIE Advanced Prototype is a very fun TIE model. The wings fold in for landings, it has a pair of spring-loaded shooters that can be rapid-fired by twisting a knob on the back of the model, and it's extremely swooshable!

I'll take a look at those, thank! Are the UCS things like the old pro models where the scale is all funky with each other?

Yeah, like the X-Wing is too big for a minifig pilot, but the Slave I is more or less minifig scale, because in the movies the X-Wing is a smaller ship so it gets scaled up more.

The micro sized ones are also fun to have. They're considerably cheaper, and also well made. Plus, you get a minifigure to expand your lego population.

 wow that Death Star playset. Any idea when it releases? May the 4th would be excellent. quote:" Vader's helmet will be in two parts for this set to have the helmet removed scene at the end of the movie."

I think the UCS TIE is going to be May the 4th. The summer SW stuff usually comes out in June I think, but then there's also going to be some Ep VII stuff in September supposedly.

Anyone got those yet? I got both for Christmas. The Ghost is mostly an external build, there's not much 'inside' to the ship like the Falcon. The functions are neat and the Phantom fits in well. The escape pods are nice for storage. Overall I like its coloring and its resemblance to the ship from the show. It's a really heavy set and the frame of it is a little unwieldy. I'm disappointed I have to buy all 3 sets (speeder bikes too) to get the entire crew for the Ghost.

Are there any recommendations for fun sets along those lines, preferably Star Wars? Microfighters. They are the best. X-Wings are good too. I only have one, and there's loads of different ones, but from what I hear they're all good too. In Scooby Doo news, the Lighthouse looks pretty great, but the plane looks a bit, well, plain. I like the colour scheme and the baddy though. http://www.hothbricks.com/2015/02/lego-scooby-doo-gros-plan-sur-les-sets-75901-et-75903/ And no, Sammy is not some new character they've introduced, apparently that's just Shaggy's name in a bunch of countries. I like that Death Star scene too. Especially that it seems to come with the chute for Darth Vader to throw the Emperor down. Also it reminds me a bit of the Lord of the Rings sets where they have a smaller set (Wizard Battle) to go with a huge one (like Orthanc or the Death Star) with some interesting minifigures you also get in the big one and the small thing being similar to a part of the big one. I hope they keep doing things like that. Some of the huge Marvel/DC ones could do with one or two.

It's not Star Wars, but Benny's Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP! from the Lego Movie is an absolute must-have, and if you decide you want one when it's out of production, it's guaranteed to skyrocket in price the moment it's off store shelves, so now's better than later. http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Benny-s-Spaceship-Spaceship-SPACESHIP-70816

While visiting Philadelphia, I had my first ever trip to a Lego store! Made the girlfriend promise she wouldn't let me spend all my money, picked up the Exosuit and the Birds. Would probably be a way more chill experience on a weekday evening.

Also get it from anywhere but lego.com, it has been on sale so many different places for $80 or less. Amazon has it for $81 right now.

It's a prototype picture which is why they don't allow photos at some of the fairs. It'll be green.

The real travesty is that hole barely looks big enough to fling the emperor into it. And the only way to extract him later is to invert the thing and dump him out. I mean c'mon lego, where's the drawer at the bottom you open to recover the minifig?

They don't make nearly as many trans green saber blades is the only thing that comes to mind, and they just switched to a different shade of green in 2012, so probably even less laying around. I dunno.
