Lego is being shy lately with announcing the GWPs, but if the pattern holds then VIPs should be able to get Black Friday GWPs a week early, e.g., Nov 21 weekend. So we should know at least a few days before that. Here's the November calendar (scroll down) Stores - LEGO.com US
Where do people get lights to light up their sets? Ones that can fit in and in between bricks. I want to get some for my millennium falcon (not the UCS one).
So about the rumors of a new Mandalorian set coming in 2021. This is what I heard from a youtube video. Spoiler The set is based off of season 2 episode 1. It's a small $30 USD set. Set from Tattooine. Set will is possibly the speeder bike Mando used from that episode. Will include 3 minifigures. Baby Yoda, Beskar Mandalorian and a Tusken Raider (would have preferred the Marshall). Set says it will also include a tent and a giant crossbow.
Nice! Now I don't feel so bad for missing out on the Phoenix Customs 3P printed version of Beskar Mando (the minifig itself ran for $80; $100 with his pistol, disruptor rifle, and bounty tracker accessories; both versions sold out with the quickness). Can just pick up Beskar Mando in a $30 official set instead. It won't look as nice as the 3P version but the cost savings I can live with. Got a $1,000 laying around for an accurately scaled UCS Krayt Dragon?
After watching episode 2 of The Mandalorian, I had to put together the LEGO X-Wing. Really great build and love the S-foils mechanism! I got rid of the little bottom peg that snaps the wings back together and modded it a little to accept the Brickmania display stand. Looks great with it in flight! I have a second X-Wing that I'll build after I put the Razor Crest together. Also built this little garbage dumpster. Couldn't resist adding flames to it.
Is that the newest X-Wing? I didn't pick it up since I already had two of the original X-Wing and all of the new trilogy X-Wings. Also I think all dumpsters need to have fires if they are assembled in 2020.
It's the 2018 version with Luke Skywalker and Biggs Darklighter. It includes stickers to make the X-Wing either Luke's Red-Five or Biggs' Red-Three. I went with Luke for this one. I just remembered that I had bought three of these sets, with the third one being intended for Wedge Antilles and Red-Two (the minifig coming in the Juniors 4+ Snowspeeder set; I'll have to track down a good stand-in for his astromech droid and carefully cut the stickers for the Red-Two markings for the wings). Agreed about the dumpster fires, lol.
