Only 7-8 of those are legit. The rest are knock offs.
Speaking of which, my next Chinese order is going out tonight. Winter Soldier, Fantastic Four, Green Arrow, and several others are in the mix. I'm also getting the larger sized Red Hulk and Grey Hulk.
I will review and post pics when I get them!

According to hothbricks, the following sets will get the 15% discount during the May the 4th promotion :
7965 Millennium Falcon
10188 Death Star
10221 Super Star Destroyer
10225 R2-D2
10240 Red Five X-Wing Starfighter
75000 Clone Troopers vs. Droidekas
75002 AT-RT
75003 A.Wing Starfighter
75004 Z-95 Headhunter
75021 Republic Gunship
The site claims that this may not be the full list yet.
The soon-to-be retired SSD and R2 are part of the list and that's a very good thing for me
Also keep in mind that this list is for the French S@H, but I would be surprised if it varies much from one region to another.
Edit : it seems you still get VIP points for the discounted item. A 100 set discounted to 85 will give you 85 points.
Hmmm...what is the recommendation if had to choose only 1 of the 2:
10225 R2-D2
10240 Red Five X-Wing Starfighter
I'd say R2, since X-Wing will probably be around for a while...

Agreed on the R2. It will be gone before you know it, and it was the better set too. But the Red Five X-Wing is still fantastic.
i too have deciced to put my order down. it is the whole Decool line of super heroes and TMNT including the green, red and gray hulk. something like this:
the bad thing is the huuuuuge shipping time, something like 30 days of waiting but now at least i can concentrate on set that i DO care and not sets that i want only for the minifigs.... for now
Hhmmm I'm REALLY tempted to get Cyke (of course), Green Lantern, Green Arrow, the FF crew and maybe Bucky...
What would be the best way/ place to get them ? Ebay ? Something else ? Are they sold individually ?

Just so we are clear. Buy one and not buy the other one EVER.
So R2-D2 > Red Five X-Wing? R2-D2 seems to have a lot of white bricks which would be very useful. Dat X-Wing though.

hmm still conflicted between Red Five Xwing and Ewok Village now... for only 50 euro more you get nearly DOUBLE the pieces, so purely ratio wise its worth it... plus if i populate it well enough it COULD serve me well as a display set i reckon hmm...
then again, as the previous post indicated DAT X-WING

SSD will be gone after this event. R2D2 might last a bit longer.

I ordered mine two weeks ago and they were delivered to our US office on Monday! Wasn't too bad at all. I will have them in my hands this Monday.

$15 for Lex's Power Armor. Can't be stressed enough what a bargain this is if you don't own it
Also... this set is getting on in years... it probably won't be around too much longer.

R2 is the better set. Better build. More pieces. Less money.
Ewok Village > everything else last year.

Once again, everyone needs this set. It is cheap, a fun build, and comes with great figures you can't get anywhere else.
A no brainer purchase and one of the best sets money can buy.

Lex's Power Armor is so nice I actually have been tempted to buy a second one. Anyone who doesn't have it yet should buy it without question for $15, let alone the normal $20. Target also regularly has it on sale for around $17.
I'd like to second this, I want to MOC a really badass Hall of Armors under my Malibu Mansion now and there's no way Lego will make some of these.
I wonder, with the recent teasing of the Hulk Buster Armor for Avengers 2, could we see a BigFig set of Hulk VS Iron Man? :O

Sell a kidney. Worth it for BEST STAR.
Also, about a third of the way through the Red Five X-Wing. Whoa. Building the mechanism for the S-foils is pretty crazy. Never built anything like it before.

Damn, 15% off only drops R2 down to $152.99. But if it's going OOP...

I'm still undecided between R2 and the Falcon, but chances are that I'll probably get one of them once there. 15% coupled with my VIP points should help my wallet regardless.
Nice, congrats. Can't wait to get mine. Hopefully next weekGot all the Simpsons minifigs!!!

They are sold in groups. The good news is, they're cheap as hell.
I am now using http://www.aliexpress.com/ for my knock offs. Type in "minifig" or "decool" or "lego" and then go from there. Be sure to shop around. They're all the same figs, but the prices vary a great deal between vendors.
I just ordered:
Mr. Fantastic
Invisible Woman
Thing
Human Torch
Cyclops
Green Arrow
Odin
Winter Soldier
Venom (I have an original already)
Weird Red Batman (batman beyond?)
Red Hulk
Grey Hulk
Green Hulk
All for $28.00
You can also order swarms of troops for dirt cheap.
21 Knights for $19? yes please! They have both factions available. Even calvary units for dirt cheap.
20 clones for $26? I would get 40 of them if I was into Star Wars.
I almost bought several different lots of 20x various military and SWAT groups to mix and match to give my heros something to fight in my modulars. You can grab these and many others for less than $1 per fig.
The site is like Pandora's Box.
Check out some of the groups listed under this sale for example:

Awesome, thanks for the tip. Will check first thing tomorrow.

I'm looking forward to seeing that. I saw a picture of the Grand carousel in the back of the fire brigade manual and I'm sad I missed out on that.

Took a break from sorting Bricklink and Pick a Brick orders to do some more cabinets. Concentrating on non-Bemani games for a bit and need to plan out the Fighters floor with a slight start on the shmups. On the list after that is Gundam Vs. multi-player setup and Derby Owners Club.
Plain looking early Candy cab, not sure if I will stick with the control panel version or the one without?

Tekken 6 and Virtua Fighter 5 4 player cluster with Live TV;

I want to but never tried anything like that, we'll see. Any ideas?
I was wondering when this would be revealed, since it was supposed to be available in a few weeks. I assume it is being unveiled at the Philly BrickFest?
Very curious to see what this looks like, and if it is a modular set, or if that was just a bad translation from it being a Creator Expert set.

OMG, Darius! That brings back college memories for me. As someone stated earlier, it would add additional awesomeness with stickers.

Recieved this from LEGO this afternoon...
Well that didn't help much...
Yeah, I got that email this morning. Clicked the link and browsed before closing it. I'll probably see what they have that day and pick either R2 or the Falcon once there.
