Good GOD MAN!
Ooh, not breaking them down and piling them into your main collection of pieces?
I'm toying with doing the same for a few sets, mainly because otherwise I'd need to expand my storage again, but then I'd always be wondering if I had some pieces in storage that I could use.

Dude I almost impulsed bought the SSD from those pics, it really is impressive. However I am hoping that Amazon drops the price on the Death Star like they seem to be doing with all the sets.
BTW Amazon has dropped the Tower Bridge to 199! Is it in danger of going oop?

I've never broken them down, save for the "extra" pieces that come in all the sets (which actually fills a couple Sortmasters), as I would like to be able to rebuild them with as little hassle as possible. I do sort the minifigs and keep them seperate from the sets, but the task of breaking down all my sets is mindboggling.
3 of the 4 Holiday Theme Sets I built with my girlfriend - Cost of the Toy Shop is too high
Great pics - I love how they all integrate together so well. Hopefull this theme will keep going for years to come. I wish I had a white sideboard to put them all on - your location/backdrop is perfect for the theme. Going to start my WV building this week!

Neat pics. These sets look fantastic against the real fall/wintery backdrop of your windows.
And one small thing I really love about the winter village is how every set has a unique street lamp.

Thanks for posting this. Bought it! As a nice bonus, when I bought my Imperial Shuttle, Amazon.com wouldn't ship it to Canada so I had to get it sent to a US Address the reshipped afterwards. Appears that's changed now.
Wound up still setting my back over $400 just due to the $50+ in shipping. The joys of living in Canada!
But you now own the superstar destroyer! Thanks Siri for not capitalizing superstar destroyer
Woah, they ship to Canada now?

Does S@H usually update at 12:00 am, EST? I'm hoping that Galaxy Squad goes live in the US tomorrow.

Swear to god, that was exactly what I said when I tried my regular address. I still had my viadress setup so was fully prepared to use that.
Not sure if it's for all sets, but at least that one item they allow.

Shuttle. Shuttle. Shuttle. Ssd will be that cheap again. It has been many times before. And you have at least another year on it.

Indeed, LEGO store in Stratford, London had no Shuttles on the shelf and none out back. I was told that online would be my best bet. A few months ago the manager said he thought the shuttle would get a good discount come Christmas but that looks unlikely now.
Showing as sold out online too. Glad I got mine from Amazon.it for a huge discount at £165.
Good haul today, got the last 2 planets I needed (X-wing and AT-ST) and the Jedi Starfighter to neatly bring me to £50 so I got the free set and PABox. Then they used my £5 off £50 voucher from the catalog.
VIP points now at £90 discount; store clerk said it was "the biggest VIP balance I've ever seen". She asked me what I was going to do with them "maybe a 2nd B-wing"........ She looked taken aback.

Guys

Use code TOY40 for 40% off one item (up to $40) or use code TOY30 for 30% off up to 9 items. They have some old stuff like the mother ship from alien conquest.

And being replaced with...?
Something amazing, we hope. Something that will make all of LEGO GAF cry out in anguish for we will all have to buy whatever it is.

Question for obsessive gaf:
Most minifigures series come with a handful of new prints & pieces. (often between 10-13 in later sets I think)
A thing I've been really curious about, how many "unique" parts from each Minifig set have been featured in regular sets so far? And how many haven't?
I feel like a lot of stuff like new weapons/swords, hair molds and other things are often introduced into the MF line simply to become fairly mainstream in regular sets not too
soon after.
Anyone have any stats on this? If not I'll look into it myself.

As if millions of voices cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible will happen. Terrible for my wallet.
My hope - a new Sandcrawler with an army of Jawas and droids. There's a Sandcrawler CUUSOO project in review, soooo.

Watch the shuttle be replaced with a new Tantive IV with a similar (2000+) piece count.
Nah, didn't we just have two - a big one and a (nicer IMO) smaller one?
Bring on redesigns of the big boys - Falcon, Star destroyer (replace SSD), X-Wing. I'll buy all three in a heartbeat and then go back and buy the SSD to complete the set
Are there any ships they've never UCSed? TIE Fighter/advanced, A-wing?

Only the cutest get a spot on the Lego Blanket.
Invisible Hand!
It splits into two!
It comes with two flanking water ships to put out the fires of the invisible hand!
And a control tower on the verge of being demolished as the invisible hand slides across the runway!
And the roof of the command deck where Gen. grievous and the magna guards and Obi-Wan and Anakin fight is removable so you can play with your mini figures in there!!
And the glass breaks away so Grievous can escape into space to get to his escape pod! Psshoooo!
Mini figures: and
Anakin
Obi-Wan
Gen. Grievous
2 magna guards
2 droid pilots
3 droid assistants
R2-D2
Chancellor Palpatine
Count Dooku
2 Super Battle Droids
With a working elevator!!

In an alternate universe where LEGO has sold its soul to investor pressures and the quality is being skimped on little by little:

Grr. Store that was supposed to be holding Queen Anne for me sold it to someone else over the weekend. They are trying to figure out who sold it so they can yell at them. Thankfully, they were cool and found another store in another state that had one and are having it shipped in and will still honor the coupon that expired yesterday that I was going to use on it. So, Queen Anne is delayed, but it will be mine.
You gonna buy em? Or some?
I have them all except for the Barrel Escape, which I will pick up tomorrow.
I wonder if you could use the Brick Friday promos with these sets for the next 30 minutes...
I thought about that too...

Free shipping & 10% discount are working for me. But no holiday set. And no VIP points!
Looks like its best to wait it out.
