Oh man, we could have told you this months ago. Knowhere Escape is a really bleh set but you get Groot, Rocket and Nebula and some of the pieces are useful. Also my personal suggestion if you really liked the movie pick up the TPB of Annihilation and Annihilation Conquest then go from there and thank me later.
Hey look what landed on my doorstep today
I think I have some rebellions to crush this weekend.

Good Grievous! He's not OT, but so far that's the best of all the Star Wars constractions easily. May get Darth Vader if it looks better in person and maybe the Clone Trooper, but that is a must get.

Looks like my Pet Shop is finally in the warehouse, ready to be shipped. I was getting worried that I had just missed out.
Dude! The Malino is my favorite marvel set hands down. (im still trying to convince myself the Helicarrier doesn't exist) Ultimate swooshability too!
Mine still says "waiting for new stock." Then again I did order it during the last day of double VIP.
General Grievous looks great. May be one of the few sets I pick up outside of the OT.

I ordered mine on March 22nd. Through the Aussie store though.

The shoulder parts on the new CCBS Star Wars sets look great for MOCs as well.
I think I'll be getting at least a storm trooper and either Vader or luke for black parts. I wanna bulk up my CCBS collection.

I really like grevious. Interesting choice of parts with the bionicle skeleton ribs.
Obi Wan looks terrible and cheap, like all the other human CCBS sets.
BentBricks

Agreed. They remind me of Galidor. I do think Obi-Wan's head looks much better than the other human ones. Maybe because it's more based on the cartoon?

At least we're free of those super ugly CW minifig heads.

These turned out very nice.

The display using them for Emerald City Comicon was amazing.

This is one of my favorites from that display. I can't find the better angle and shot of it right now. Notice the large amount of new ball joints used.

I bought a custom pig head to try my hand at a TMNT Beebop like the one someone posted here. I also picked up a few other bits and pieces for the hell of it.
I actually bought a few of the heads so I'm tempted to paint one black to make Black Mask from Batman and one silver along with a LEGO skeleton to make a T100 Terminator Robot

Hah good timing, that's the place I ordered the heads and tophats from

I will let you guys have fun with that!
Seriously, I think it could use more stickers.

Its kind of a shame that they're making more star wars movies really, i'd have liked them to get so incredibly desperate for new sets to make that they'd attempt a terrifying chima styled star wars series.
gammorean guards in a giant mechanical warthog fighting a bunch of gungans in a bioorganic fish beast would be awesome, jawas in scavenged mash ups of existing vehicles fighting tusken raiders would be cool too.

That owl is awesome looking.
Love the mini fig heads. And is the hat piece at the end a custom one as well?
Daily Mail LEGO giveaways about to start again.
Always hurts missing out on these as an american.

US gets cheaper prices and bigger discounts plus loads of polybags and other exclusives. I don't think you're getting the short end of the stick
Until I can buy a newspaper and get a free lego polybag then I feel cheated, sorry Doing a 1:1 price comparision doesn't work since countries operate very differently and have very different income requirements
We don't have stuff like that here. The promos are almost always "... free with an X dollar amount LEGO purchase" and it's usually $25 or more
None of the polybags are that essential though, which is somewhat reassuring.

Are we expecting a new SW set this morning?
Hopefully. The product reveals seem to be spread out over more than one session though. Showing off Episode VII sets about an hour after the Panel (and new trailer, hopefully) would really be adding fuel to the fire
Product reveals, hmmm?

This actually sounds awesome. I've felt that way since they announced they would be making prequels in the 90s. Can't we just stick to the original three films and just double down in the awesomeness of those?

Lego Town Concert MOC I made a town square to get somewhere to place all my spare figures (well, most of them), and what better way to get people to crowd up than a rock concert?

Looks great.
not super big into Star Wars, but I like all I see.
Plus I think the sets will be cool.

Holy shit i haven't checked OffTopic today yet but....

I've never been so excited for a sci-fi movie. I saw the prequels once in the theatres, and watched the first two with my daughter....I wasn't a fan at all, but this looks amazing.
It's funny how every time I see a ship/character in the trailer I get excited at the prospect for a LEGO version.
Edit: I meant, "sci fi"
Damn....hype level rising!

Kylo Ren = Darth Revan confirmed?
Rumor/spoiler:
Kylo is grave robbing old Sith's and steals their stuff like mask and Darth Vader's mask. OR just created Darth Revan as the "new" villain.
I love the packaging! Not the C-3PO figure I thought they were bundling... Still really well done
I knew I would get more and more hyped for this movie as more trailers and stuff came out. I'm glad I accepted my eventual turn to Lego Star Wars. I'm busy today and tomorrow but damn it i'm putting that ISD together this weekend.
I'm just praying my hype isn't deflated like Phantom Menace did walking out of the theater.

I love Star Wars. I love this trailer. I need all these new vehicles and characters in Lego form.

Not feeling that mini Tatooine set but no biggie. I want sets of some of those new ships from the trailer instead!

Now that you mention it, that does seem like a set that would be tailor made for microfigs.

TLG just tweeted a 360 view of the Grievous fig.
