Oh right i remember being relieved that assembly square was not on it.
My mom wants me to get some Lego for my cousin during black Friday. Any known deals going around that aren't from Amazon?
Dang. I use that site once in a while,
I might actually be skipping the falcon...
Never thought that would happen, I had lusted after the old one for ages!

If I make a mistak... I mean, if I buy the UCS Millennium Falcon during this black friday, open and build it, and decide to sell it years down the line, how hard would that be?
Or are opened sets harder to sell/how much does the fact they're opened bring down the reselling price?

If you bought at the sale price and you sell it with all the pieces and original box you will certainly make your money back
Yeah I don't blame you, I had the same feeling about buying the H.Potter castle....at this point im sure I'll make most of my money back on it's minifigs (0 attachment to them)
I'm not a big fan of Harry Potter (enjoyed the books, never saw the movies properly - although I plan to reread them and watch them one day) - but that Hogwarts looks damn nice, and has a nice discount... but I'm not that crazy.
Already bought Poe's X-Wing and Kylo Ren's Shuttle this week (I suddenly decided to start spending money on this for some reason), and now I'm thinking about Millenium Falcon. Got 10 hours left before the sale ends, so... let's see what happens :D
Spoiler alert: I'll probably buy it <.<
I still couldn't buy at that price, so I got the pop up book and downtown diner sets from local deals instead :p
Fuck it, UCS Millenium Falcon ordered an hour before the Black Friday sale ended. Kinda regret it a bit, but hey, worst case scenario - I'll just try to resell it down the line :D
Built my first set in ages today, Poe's black X-Wing, and I enjoyed it. It looks sleek, and now I can't wait to build Kylo Ren's shuttle (although I'll leave that for the weekend after seeing Episode 9).

Guess I should also post stuff that relevant to the season

I cant believe I missed the UCS Falcon...ughhhh
Anyways I just built the UCS Y-Wing, I need a new shelf
R2D2 is a remarkably bad air-traffic controller.
I don't have a local store, unfortunately. Nearest one's 40km away in Milton Keynes.
I want to build a Lego clone army. Individual Clone Troopers are expensive on Bricklink. Any chance Lego gonna release new battle packs?
Sounds like it. (I haven't seen the show and have been ignoring it until the whole seasons is up). Four different Mando bounty hunters are in the pack. May have been made in conjunction with Disney, or Disney may have just said "we're doing a Mando thing, make a set" kinda like the odd Endgame sets that don't really match up to the movie.
That's cool. I guess I'll have to wait. I don't want to have to turn to those bootleg lego off aliexperess.
Thanks!
Season appropriate SPAM of other people's MOCs
It looks like this is the same series that got two runs - and a christmas special - on Channel 4 over here. It's very enjoyable, as long as they don't tinker with it too much!
Edit: Looks like it's also had a run in Australia.
oooo they look nice. They all got different color armor and helms too.
What is it with Lego justifying 'battle packs' by inventing some weird speeder/turret that never appears on screen?
I'm not complaining necessarily, but it's just funny that they've done this a few times now.
Oh this is 100% to push quickly a lot of inexpensive sets on parents so that their kids can play with something.
It's difficult to sell 10+€ sets for the mass market when it's only 4 minifigs, only collectors and MoC makers would buy it.
I used to think it was because of the license, where they couldn't sell just the minifig by itself because then it would be considered under the action figure license which Hasbro has. But then they had full on Bionicle-like action figures for Star Wars, so who knows? You'd think at the very least they'd sell blister packs like the ones they have for Ninjago at the Lego shop, I'm sure army builders would sell fine there.
Brace yourselves for the coziest building in lego history:

I think part of it is sneaking around legal issues with super-strict licencing agreements. "We're not selling action figures! This is definitely still a building toy! Just look at that turret!"
