  • Imperial Dropship Price Drops To Battle Pack Levels 40% off

    Imperial Dropship Price Drops To Battle Pack Levels 40% off

    That Imperial Dropship anniversary set is at it’s lowest price yet: $11.99, which is the same price as current prices of Battle Packs sets (which are also on sale at 20% off to be at the same $11.99 price point). 75262 Imperial Dropship – 20th Anniversary Edition comes with a Han Solo anniversary minifigure, a Shadow Trooper, and 3 Stormtroopers. That’s an army-builder price if I’ve ever seen one. Now everyone can have an impressive display of Han Solos. Both Amazon and Walmart have this set at that price. This is a dollar less than our previous mention a few weeks ago. Other prices of Anniversary sets:

    • 75259 Snowspeeder – 20th Anniversary Edition (comes with Lando) is only 20% off at $31.99 - Amazon | Walmart
    • 75261 Clone Scout Walker – 20th Anniversary Edition (comes with Darth Vader) is still holding steady at 37% off, just $18.99 - Amazon | Walmart
    • 75258 Anakin’s Podracer – 20th Anniversary Edition (comes with Luke Skywalker) is 20% off for an even $24.00 – Amazon | Walmart
    • 75243 Slave I – 20th Anniversary Edition is, unfortunately, still full price at $119.99 – Amazon | Walmart

    Not an anniversary set, but Betrayal at Cloud City is still seeing a 17% discount making it $289.99, down from $349.99. When I see something like that, a big ticket set that’s newish that is already on sale, it makes me question how badly it is selling for retailers to discount it to get out of their warehouses. But with that kind of logic, the Slave I set must be selling like crazy.

  • Snowspeeder Rehash Anniversary Edition 40% Off

    Snowspeeder Rehash Anniversary Edition 40% Off

    Update: This deal finally expired. The Snowspeeder set is now back up to its regular 20% off price of $31.99.

    I don’t think I can ever get excited for another Snowspeeder, not until they redesign it from the ground up and use a proper windshield element. Still though, this $39.99 set is marked down to just $24 at both Amazon and Walmart. Cheap army builder. But I think what they really need to do next time is include a tauntaun. When was the last time we got one of those? Feels like ages… and it certainly would justify the rising cost even if they kept the same snowspeeder build.

  • Some LEGO Star Wars Anniversary Sets Heavily Discounted

    Some LEGO Star Wars Anniversary Sets Heavily Discounted

    And by ‘heavily’ I mean 35% off or more. Both Amazon and Walmart are discounting 3 out of the 5 LEGO Star Wars 20th Anniversary Edition sets. While the sets themselves are nothing to write home about, the package design can’t be beat, in this writer’s opinion anyway. But yeah, you also get some LEGO out of it because, heheh, it would be silly to buy something for the package design alone… heh…

    • 75259 Snowspeeder – 20th Anniversary Edition (comes with Lando) is 35% off at $25.99 - Amazon | Walmart
    • 75261 Clone Scout Walker – 20th Anniversary Edition (comes with Darth Vader) is 37% off at $18.99 - Amazon | Walmart
    • 75262 Imperial Dropship – 20th Anniversary Edition (comes with Han Solo) is 35% off at $12.99 – Amazon | Walmart (it’s a dollar more at Walmart at $13.99)

    While these sets have been on sale before, I believe these are all new low prices. The Podracer set is still holding at 20% off and the Slave I has never been on sale as far as I can tell. Han should have come with Slave I instead of Leia.

  • LEGO Star Wars 20th Anniversary Edition Sets

    LEGO Star Wars 20th Anniversary Edition Sets

    LEGO announces a special line-up commemorating the 20th anniversary of their most successful license: Star Wars. Five sets are included in this press release. I am unsure if they will include more. Each set will include a special throwback minifigure from the original line. None of the minifigure/set pairings make a lick of sense, because why would they? Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect:

    • X-wing Luke Skywalker with Anakin’s Podracer set.
    • Darth Vader with Clone Scout Walker
    • Princess Leia with Slave I
    • Han Solo with Imperial Dropship
    • Lando Calrissian with Snowspeeder

    See? Makes no sense. And Lando didn’t even come out until 2003. Anyways…

    Seeing those old minifigures really takes me back and reminds of a more innocent time. 20 years ago, I was just graduating college, looking for my first full-time job. I had a part time gig at the school’s computer lab. I wasn’t rich by any means but I had to have that Snowspeeder set. I remember building that thing and being amazed that this small plastic toy I just assembled was a Snowspeeder complete with figures. It was just so cool! I was a kid again. I’m glad LEGO did these figures in (almost) the exact same way as they did back in 1999 (and 2003). The hands and heads are yellow instead of flesh, they hold loudhailers instead of actual blasters.

    And when I say almost, I mean almost. The minifigures have printing on the back to differentiate their original release figures and the special commemorative editions. I believe this were posted on Instagram somewhere:

    I have no idea what the colored blasters signify. I hope they do more commemorative minifigures like this.

    More impressions to come as I get’em.
