The Star Wars LEGO Thread

It would, but they aren't available in the states. I've heard the last series of the planet sets won't be released here because they've done so poorly sales wise. I'm just ticked because they left three of the five I'd actually buy till the last set. Punks. lol

So... on to better lego news for myself. Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga for Wii has been obtained. Boo-yah.

Try buying them directly from Lego online? Its what I did.
or Ebay, that's where we got the mini XWing

and sorry for the double post, but R2D2 just managed to make a 2013 build date









I now have 5 R2D2 legos and a further 5 astromech mini figs

and while im sharing Lego pics- the mini figs from my advent calendar



I have completely and utterly rang out of room in my cabinet for my Lego, they are piled up everywhere at the moment  guess im gonna have to go shopping for another cabinet soon!

1) I'm very jelly, but I have more Mechs than you, even if you DO have the awesome ginormous R2... lucky...
2) Just awesome on so many levels, I am still jelly. lol
3) Can't seem to find them on the site... at least not on the US version. :/
4) Considering the amount of lego I own, and how much non-lego junk I need to get rid of, 3 is probably a good thing! 
5) Ebay is not my best friend. lol

Again, congrats. That R2 is EPIC!

Man... I wish I got any of the sets you got, but the only LEGO set I actually got was the 2012 Clone Battlepack.
WOOT! RED CLONES FTW! (<-- finally learned what this meant last week!)
LEGO does need to make a set with an Orange 'Mech, preferably one with the new trapezoid head.
Then I just need to be the luckiest person alive and find one of the blank rebel pilot helmets, and then AND THEN!!! I'd do the smart thing!
Make a Nova Sigfig...

Actually, though ebay and I aren't the best of friends, I picked my blank pilot up there for something like three bucks I think. Granted, that was a year ago, but still. They aren't as hard to get as you might think.

Thankyou, thankyou. R2 is pretty damn awesome if I do say so myself fair few build hours in there too.

I just had a look on the US lego shop and 2 wows- you definitely don't have as many listings as us, the Aus store has all these new listings under the Star Wars Lego section. Though a lot of items have been taken down in the last month- we now don't have any of the planet series listed. and OMG you guys pay a lot less than what we do in Aus!!!! to give you an idea, the SSD and death star are US$399- on the Australian Lego online shop they are AUS$699 

[Manroon]

1) Pics... I shall need to be getting around to.

2) Yeah, from what I understand, everything lego gets released overseas first, and the US comes last.

3) Buy American! WOOT! lol (and actually, if you can believe it, lego has a rep for being one of the more expensive toys around here. With comparisons like that, I don't feel like we're getting the bum deal so much anymore. Feel bad for you Aussies though!

[B1ondeange1]

Yep, Lego has same rep here- and you can see why! But just about everything is stupidly more expensive here in AUS than America, esp when it comes to things like electronics and video games, its BS. But I won't go any further into that discussion
pics are a must!

[Manroon]

Pic as requested! Admittedly though, my customization really just comes down to swapping out standard minifig parts. No painting or decals.



Now, From right to left we have standard me, pilot me, and original version me. The right most one is the current version. I think you can see an old lego santa behind him. lol Oh, and going further left we also have Mikey, and waaaaay off to the far edge is Marty McFly!
