    Finally found the Disney Princess polybag, great little build. Also nabbed the Clone Troopers vs. Droidekas battle pack.

    Sorry if this is old, but watching the designer vid I noticed that the Slave 1 had transparent pieces attached to the base to hold it off the ground a bit in landing mode. Cool, but it seems kind of pointless to me.

    Aren't they supposed to be thrusters for when it's vertical? Thought that's what the clear ones were for.

    Nope. Looks like a great set, but I'll stick with my 2010 one.

    I do, and it's awesome. I haven't had any of the previous versions, but I believe this one is the most accurate, though not the biggest.

    Same here.

    My only gripe (and it's a small pet-peeve more than anything) is the big gap under the side doors. But it's only noticeable when you open one door and look through to the other and notice the big gap at the bottom of the opposite side door.

    I want the AT-AT and a snowspeeder something fierce. At target my fiancé found a small white Christmas tree. She said I should make a smaller Star Wars theme based tree this year in conjunction with a full size traditional tree. My first thought was to make a Christmas Hoth battle using the new AT-AT and the white tree. I got "the look" when I told her.

    About 12" in height if I remember correctly from the box. About the same in length and about 6-7" wide.

    So I ended up with a "good morning bilbo" polybag as part of a lot set.

    I have no interest in hobbit stuff

    Is it worth trying to sell or should I just part him out?

    He only goes for about $10 on Ebay. I had a bunch that I had better luck trading than selling.

    Good Morning Bilbo was only available as a preorder bonus. If he's not going for much now, it might be better to hang onto him until the LEGO Hobbit line is dead and people start looking for more stuff on the secondary market.

    Mine lives in my Bag End set.

    I've got an extra Mini-Cooper or Uruk-Hai poly if you're interested in a trade. Provided your lack of Hobbit interest doesn't also extend to LotR.
