I actually think that black shuttle is pretty cool. Everything else is meh. The construction is great but the designs are dumb. They also make no sense and Prove that the movie exists primarily to market more shite. The film is set prior to the origional trilogy, so plain x-wings and y-wings and tie fighters make way more sense than these d a p p e r bastardized ships. They exist to become lego sets...

I think they teach them more shoot first and ask questions later. Better to kill 100 innocents than let a single Rebel scum get away.

SoCs are ok so long as they aren't aliens. Those guys are gross and disgusting and destroy the purity of our great Empire. Remember back in the days when e had all those weird Inquisitors running around? We all saw how those aliens ruined everything.

I'm glad you've made a turnaround Voin. In the last film, we had a silver lady stormtrooper, and that's more representative of my gender and colour.

Everything about the minifigs is new. They also got rid of the unnecessary assassin droid. Plus they changed up the gun under the turbolaser.

Excuse me? There's nothing unnecessary about IG-88.

ig-88 would've been rad, but it's just a random clone wars assassin droid recolor. Twas a bit cheeky way to bloat the figure selection:

I put together one this weekend because turns out I've enough spare parts for it; people will not be missing a whole lot with its absence.

Free calender and double VIP points sound rad. Just hope it'll be a EU thing as well.

Also, there are TRU exclusive fig packs, which appear to be just recycled CMF prints tho:

Its cool but i got one for 9 months out of 12. My brother got the first gen one when it was first released its pretty fuckin' rad! Though having lots of figs none of them were really special or one of a kind from their small box versions. So with the new one adding some special figs is a good idea!
