I hate how they did his saber, but I would still love to have the set.
agreed, looks like they got lazy when they designed it. |

How else would you do it. The saber hilt piece is 20yo. The mold has proven itself. The only solution is to do a special mold. So instead of the customer paying roughly $.05 for a saber hilt, they would end up paying somewhere in the area of $1.00. I know it's not a lot ion the grand scheme, but for a 1 gram piece of plastic, $1 is a ridiculous amount to pay. |

Which I understand. If they did anything, they could probably find some way to do it like they did the the LEGO TFA game. I'm sure there is an adapter out there that could do that kind of thing. Still, just because I understand why they did the saber like that doesn't mean I have to like it.  Here are some pics of one of my favorite SW ships, the TIE Defender You own that? That is awesome. One of my favorite ships as well. |

Tt has always taken liberties with their in-game LEGO designs. And they've gotten worse over the years. |

LEGO Star Wars I and II are good though right? I'm about to start TCS. |

TCS is amazing. Still one of the funnest LEGO games I've played (LEGO Batman II is almost if not as good, and LEGO LOTR is better). |

TCS is the only game I have, and I agree. It's really amazing, and it's fun  Don't know how many hours I spent to find every little brick and unlock every model, level etc. Just have to finish the last Super Stories and then it's complete |

I never really have extra money, but when I do i check Walmart and Target for clearance items. I've walked out of Target with a $50 set of die-cast star ships and a $50 Darth Vader Black Series Centerpiece for $27 total. TCS is both. But yes, from TCS to present, they started sucking when the characters talked.
 LOL! |

Hi Darth Silenoz, In the UK we have a few "budget" stores called Poundworld and Poundstretcher and over the past year they have had a few batches of "old" Star Wars stock. Mainly Hot Wheels die casts but now and then a few 6inch action figures. Well I took advantage and was able to get a couple of starship four packs for $18 each but the best deals were the twin pack ships and cars, they were $5.21 each. I even got single ship packs for $1.30 a pop. Lego sets however are still a bit pricey. |

Nice! I have 14 die cast Hot Wheels ships. LEGO's don't seem to pop up in clearance much. I saw a Crait speeder on clearance once and it still wasn't cheap. I've got to get a new LEGO set soon. It's like crack. Little blocks of crack! |

Yeah LEGO seems to hold their value. I did see a Supreme Leader Snoke 6inch Black Series figure in a charity thrift store but it was $24! Then just as I was about to walk out the shop I noticed they had another half dozen of the figures behind the store counter! I don't mind giving to charity when I can but yikes! |
