Someone's gonna get a round plate in their eye. That's a whole lot of plate blasters, Batman!
And man, I need a million of those Tusken Raiders!
Snowspeeder Micro-Fighter is a must get.
Not sure about that Micro-Fighter AT-AT.

All of those trooper army variation sets, why can't we have a Tusken raiding party set?
And I thought the AT-AT looked rather chibi-fied. Not too thrilled by the micro fighter line in general though.

Thanks for all the responses. Yeah seems like Pet Shop should be retired first. I'll wait until either December (free Christmas set 2 of 2) or March (next double VIP I think) to get it.
Same here. I for one love those MF. And the tusken looks mighty nice.

Just a head's up: I don't know if it's different in other places but the Christmas set 2 of 2 is in November. It's on the Nov calendar but they don't show a picture, just a drawing of a red present box. Nobody knows what the December givaway will be yet.
Thats pure laziness on TLG's part.
Looks like I will be getting some of that stuff.

I'm really liking those troop building sets.
Why couldn't they have done that for Galaxy Squad? Man, I would've bought a bunch if they did that. I wish they had a Space theme that got as much attention as Star Wars.

Agent Kallus and Sabine:
Sabine better come with her Mandalorian helmet!
dat hair tho! I love it.
Also loving all the firing mechanisms in these sets. "You'll shoot your eye out kid"
Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid. At your side, and your other side, on your speeder, on your friend's side, on your ship, on your blaster...
LEGO usually doesn't give away much in December since people are rushing to buy gifts. Last year was just a continuation of the PAB box giveaway, but this year looks to be that wall calendar.
On the bright side for you, LEGO gives all employees a nice exclusive set. Please take pictures of it when you do receive it.
Chibi AT-AT is my favorite Microfighter so far!
Heh, I was just about to say how much I hated that one! I think they've done a decent job translating most of them into the Microfighters style, but I really don't like the AT-AT.
That Tusken Raider tho... I NEED that!!
Yeah LEGO treats its employees pretty damn nicely.
They're smaller than the previous mini modulars. It's made out of basic bricks so they're easily buildable from your own pieces.

I thought it said something like 11/28 - 12/10 for the Christmas set. I probably remembered the dates wrong.

Went for Tumbler and Town Hall. A staff member told me about some damaged box sets so I got the Fairground Mixer with a bonus 500 VIP points. They also threw in a 2nd holiday set with a crushed box too. My wife and I are going to work on the Mixer tonight.

We also went to the Strong Museum of Play in Rochester to see the traveling Lego Castle exhibit. There was a train setup by the Central New York LUG and I loved this bridge modeled after the Ford Street bridge in Rochester.
Save some for the rest of us.
Placed my order this morning for 1. Amaro's Facebook post about having about 10 left forced my hand.
They're not all for me, some are already claimed and I got extra cause I know once some people see them they will want one

How the hell does the Tie Advanced NOT come with a Vader minifig?
There are a few I did max orders of.
6x Pirates 6239: Cannon Battle
8x Western 6706: Frontier Patrol
8x Lone Ranger 79106: Cavalry Builder Set
STAR WARS
4x 7913: Clone Trooper Battle Pack
4x 7914: Mandalorian Battle Pack
6x 8014: Clone Walker Battle Pack
6x 8015: Assassin Droids Battle Pack
6x 8083: Rebel Trooper Battle Pack
6x 8084: Snowtrooper Battle Pack
6x 9489: Endor Rebel Trooper & Imperial Trooper Battle Pack
Other battle packs I didn't list if I had 3 or less. I also have dropped off in getting more than one for star wars packs in last couple years. Next year may change as I want a bunch of Imperial Troopers and I still need to get a couple death star trooper battle packs.

Because it's not Vader's TIE Advanced - it's the prototype from Rebels which the Inquisitor flies around in. The actual TIE Advanced has much more depth in the wings, and the flat section behind the main "ball-shaped" body.
Yay! Get multiples and make a formidable looking army ready to take on the UniKitty rebel forces.
Invizable has the most amazing torso print:
Hell yeah, now we got a lego pimp. Dat bling.

Disappointed in the Storm Trooper battle pack. For some reason I thought it would be the OT Storm Troopers. It makes sense it's the Rebels ones though. I'll probably pick up 1 or 2 of those. Would have gotten 4-6 if OT.
The Shadow Troopers make up for my disappointment in the trooper transport battle pack. Those are nice minifigs.
Thank goodness the Rebels minifigs don't have the ugly eyes the Clone Wars ones had. Sad part is that means I may get a few of those sets for the minifigs. Looking at you Inquisitor and blue haired girl.
Only 1 Tusken raider in that set? Typical LEGO, they know people will buy multiples of those sets for Tusken raiders.
Well, the microfighters have some highlights but there are quite a few I don't care for. ENough that my completionist OCD side can't get me to buy them all.
Well, if anyone doesn't have a million battle droids, there's a set to help get there.
Fuck. Yes.

So when exactly is the UCS Slave 1 coming out?
I prefer this version:
I love the color scheme of Ultra Agents. Gonna have to get all the 2015 sets. I'm only missing one set in the current wave.
January 1st - there may be a VIP only release in mid-December, but so far there is no info on that.
That's the problem with it. It looks like a turtle mech, is has no resemblance of an AT AT. The iconic thing about an AT AT are the four huge legs. If you take that away you end up with something else. They should've just worked from set 20018. That turtle AT AT is like doing a cube death star.

I do too, but even pimps have friends. That was one of the first minifigs I ever Bricklinked purely for the pimp suit. The other pimp suit is a welcome addition.
IIRC it's 11/28 to 11/30.

Shadow troopers went beyond what I was expecting. I'd like to stock up on those for sure. And the Rebels stuff looks just as good too except for their version Stormtroopers, I can do without those.

Those new Ultra Agents sets look pretty darn good.

The Ultra Agent theme doesn't do anything for me. In the same basket as Chima and Ninjago for me.
Ultra Agents to me is way cooler than the Marvel and DC stuff (for the most part) I mean Batman Tumbler is sweet but really the Superhero sets do nothing for me and I am not really inclined to collect minifigs except for a few for MOC Diaramas maybe. Ultra Agents on the other hand has way cool sets. I have not gotten any yet but I will probably end up getting most if not all of them. They just look so fun and some look like they would be sweet to display (like the tron vehicle).
