7748 Corporate Alliance Tank Droid
7749 Echo Base
8014 Clone Walker Battle Pack
8015 Assassin Droids Battle Pack
8016 Hyena Droid Bomber
8017 Darth Vader's TIE Fighter
8018 Armored Assault Tank (AAT)
8019 Republic Attack Shuttle
8036 Separatists Shuttle
8037 Anakin's Y-Wing Starfighter
8038 The Battle of Endor
8039 Venator-class Republic Attack Cruiser

Anyone who found one in a battle pack please reach out and speak. I’m pretty
skeptical about it appearing in such a small set, although a few sources say
it has been.

  From what I've seen I've only heard it is retiring next year. But on
the note of mystery retirement does anyone know when set
 
Set No: 76989  Name: Horizon Forbidden West: Tallneck
* 
76989-1 (Inv) Horizon Forbidden West: Tallneck
1190 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2022
Sets: Horizon
is retiring?
I've heard it possibly had supply chain issues and might be retiring but
haven't seen it on any retirement lists

So probably late next year is what you’re referring to?

When does the MBS Cantina retire? Is it this year or end of next year? I have
multiple sources with conflicting information about it.

  I see three possibilities:

1. Be rich.
2. Have a time machine.
3. Have been a collector for long enough to have bought them when they were cheap.

I got rich by inventing a time machine, but I've also been a longtime collector

In reality I bought everything in 2018/2019 when Boba was only ~$400, back then
I thought he was expensive, can't believe it now (I don't think it's
worth it at this point)

In the words of Boba Fett himself, “He’s worth a lot to me.” Someday I’ll get
myself one of those guys.

Very jealous.

As for my most expensive item, I have a lot of 4/5 light up lightsaber figures.
Only missing Obi-Wan, then I’ll have them all. Also own some vintage Star Wars/
Indiana Jones sets/figs and Raimi era Green Goblin and doc ock thin smirk, Peter

stuff.

There is already an additional note on the entry that states:

"This cardboard sleeve comes in set 4501."

We do not add the cardboard sleeves to set inventories.

Cheers,

Oh. I just saw on others that it had a “comes in”.and the entry for 48431 doesn’t
have that. I know that they aren’t added to the set inventory themselves. It’s
kind of hard to explain unless you look at 2 catalog entries of cardboard sleeves,
with one being this one.

No, you need to be a seller to part out sets under the "add to inventory" section

if you go into the inventory of the advent calendars and click "break sets" it'll
give you an actual parts list; scroll to the bottom and you'll see a list
of the extra parts

Oh I see it now. I know I had done it before so I didn’t remember what I had
done wrong. Thanks

What are the extra parts in 75340 and 75279? Is there a way to view this if they
are all marked as their own sets as they come in their own small baggies?

Hardly a misprint.

Looks like the picture is just distorted and stretched out to me and still doesn't
look like much if any of a misprint.


That’s what my figure looks like. The printing on the head is too low and the
mouth looks weird to me.

So I tried using the compare feature but couldn’t find an answer. What’s the
difference between the speeder bikes in these two sets? There honestly should
be a subsection when comparing for certain models within sets.

No just didn’t want the hassle to sell one

Selling finch dallow should be super easy barely an inconvenience. He’s a pretty
desirable figure and I highly doubt you would have trouble selling a figure of
his value.

Is there any difference between the Anakin Podracers from 7131 vs the one from

Thanks for sharing

These are all good replies! I think my favorite mentioned in this thread has
to be the OG Republic Gunship from 2002. I honestly need to pick one up, but
the figures alone cost a small fortune. Even the 2 Supers are at least $70 each
last I checked. The fact that Jedi Bob is over $100 is just insane!

Yeah, prices are "insane" I remember when I could hardly giveaway the Jedi Knights
from that that set, had loads of them too. Ended up parting them out for chump-change.
Never understood back then why some figures were for years, undesired. I wrote
it off as folks just wanting the popular villain/hero characters, the more black
n'white roles in the movies. Guess I really don't know the consumer mindset.

My son still recalls the set too. "Hey dad, you remember that gunship set?" kind
of thing. It was his first set, but never really got a lot of Lego sets after
his seventh birthday, some here and there. He enjoyed other things more, like
his KTM at eight years-old when we moved to California living in the desert.
After that, it was all about the outdoors and dirt bikes, backcountry trekking,
shooting, etc. I 'americanized' him, the western style

Thanks for the great thread. Some fantastic reading from others.

My pleasure Popsicle! I love the more interactive threads like these but don’t
see them very often on the forum, so I decided to try my luck! Happy BrickLinking
everybody!

  Black Falcons Fortress #6074. Loved that set, and got it for Christmas. I got
the Dark Dragons Den the following year. Loved those so much.

Castle sets in general are just so fun to build and collect. I’ve got to get
around to getting a raised plate castle someday!

I could guess but probably never be certain. I can say that I 100% remember
getting this set:

 
Set No: 6276  Name: Eldorado Fortress
* 
6276-1 (Inv) Eldorado Fortress
462 Parts, 8 Minifigures, 1989
Sets: Pirates: Pirates I: Imperial Soldiers

I was completely blown away by how huge and amazing it was, that was a special
Christmas. Honestly makes me wonder if I am spoiling my kids now.

I dug out all the parts about 10 years ago and put it together again, I kind
of want to do a search for it again. Its one of those sets (along with the forestmen
ones) that really just bring me back.

Eldorado Fortress was such a great set. I know I’m biased because I’m a huge
fan of raised plates in general but the crane and rest of the build just make
this set so special. Someday I’ll have to get around to buying it. It’s very
expensive on the aftermarket though!

I'm sure I received a few $5 to $10 Castle/Town sets for my birthday in 1991
or 1992, but the first set I have a memory of receiving and building was in 1993:

 
Set No: 6056  Name: Dragon Wagon
* 
6056-1 (Inv) Dragon Wagon
97 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 1993
Sets: Castle: Dragon Knights

It's still one of the most nostalgic sets for me, despite how flimsy the
build is. Also one of the greatest names for a Lego set!

‘93 was such a good year for Castle. Fire Breathing Fortress is still one of
my favorite ‘90s sets of all time!

Still not working. Does anyone have a number I need to size it as? There’s no
way to just choose what you want to compress the size to.

I would try for 640x480 but also make sure the size in MB is OK

Thanks for the info Peregrinator.

Can you make a photo?

Trying to do that, but file size is too big.

  Hi everyone,
I've got a copy of
 
Set No: 10123  Name: Cloud City
* 
10123-1 (Inv) Cloud City
675 Parts, 7 Minifigures, 2003
Sets: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 4/5/6
that unfortunately has several cracked minifigs.
I've been trying for a bit to sell it, but I really don't know how much
the imperfect minifigs devalue the set.
If you've got any feedback, I'd love to hear it.

https://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=Classicsmiley&itemID=307730878

Thing is, the main draw of the set is Boba & Lando; if the Lando and Boba minifigs
have damage, I would argue that it would deter people from buying the set due
to it being a little lackluster outside of the minifigures, especially with a
price of $3k

I think it would value around $1900 - $2200 due to the damaged minifigures, and
even if you replaced the parts for the cheaper ones, Boba and Lando are the 2
that NEED to be in great condition for the set to sell

You could always list Boba separately and then put the Cloud City up for a lower
price, might get you more money in the long run as well

Good point @Utif. The boba on his own is selling for at least $1500 even if he’s
beat up. I’ve seen him selling for $1700 with chewed up/yellowed legs and dents
on the arms.

Seems like 3k is about what a really nicely preserved copy goes for. One gently
used with some imperfections would likely be a bit under that. The only imperfections
really affecting your value are the cracked Boba arm (~$300), cracked leia torso
(~$100) and torn box.

I'd say somewhere in and around $2500 would be right in range for a fair
value.

Thing is, you might as well buy a new Leia before you sell it. The torso is the
only part of her that’s worth anything. She’s also the least expensive exclusive
figure going for ~$200-$250 Last I checked. The legs came on lost of figs (Chewie,
some figs from adventurers), hair was on the original Padme from ‘99 and the
head was on all the classic Leias from 2000-2004)

Same here. The poll is very much biased. I will be buying many more. In the past,
I've bought some (actually very many...), only to fend bend items, like spears,
swords, most likely damaged not in production buy by "feelers". Knowing that
the quality of parts is now more guaranteed, and the good ones are not all gone,
I'll buy more in stores.

Honestly TLG’s recent changes to things are so pointless. This change is the
literal definition of “ If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” They make changes that
make no sense and yet they won’t do things the ENTIRE FANDOM wants. Same goes
for the Slave 1 name change in August.
