I still watch them all on a regular basis, the mrs buys me Star Wars boxers fur Xmas, Father’s Day, socks too.
Oh and I’ve spent a fucken fortune on Lego sets too including this wee thing
Millennium Falcon™ 75192 | Star Wars™ | Buy online at the Official LEGO® Shop NZ
Travel the LEGO® galaxy in the ultimate Millennium Falcon!
That's the remake of the 10179 isn't it?
When it came out I really wanted to by it for our son but it was US$500 and couldn't stretch for it. Damn things sell for a fortune now (if still boxed)
Did get him this one though
10178 Motorized Walking AT-AT | Brickipedia | Fandom
10178 Motorized Walking AT-AT is a Classic Star Wars set released in 2007 for $129.99. It includes Luke Skywalker, an AT-AT Pilot, General Veers, and a Snowtrooper. The set contains Luke Skywalker...
He actually rebuilt it just before we left to come over when he found the kit packed away. Still works and seems to be missing one part only
Yep it is, the original 10179 went up to around $5k+ sealed, and as much as half that built. This new one I was lucky to pick up ( it sold out world wide in a matter of minutes) will eventually head that way in value too. Which is what I keep reminding my wife about.
Did any of the females in the house help you build it?

Wonder who the hell buys a toy and leaves it in its box. That's why they are so rare!

Absolutely! It would have been opened in seconds.
I guess collectors will often buy 2 and keep one mint.
We went through the boy's SW Lego stuff from that period and he has some pretty good kits that even if as re-packaged are worth a hell of a lot more than the purchase price.

That’s the beauty of Lego, all sets go up in value. Especially SW sets. As long as you have all the pieces and the instructions. Guaranteed to increase over time. Lego only produces a particular set for a limited time. A year or 2 on average , though popular ones can go for longer.
But they will be retired eventually, so @Crucial id recommend not throwing away you boys collection anytime soon. -

We always planned along the lines that Lego is timeless and kept all the instructions in plastic folders and all the parts in divided drawers and bins. His kids will have great fun with the 'retro' stuff.
Just been looking on those lego resale sites and this one from his collection has increased in value x6

Heres your Wedge dolls;

Dont spoil it for him, he was on another SW moan.
BTW, I watched ESB a few weeks ago and although I love the movie, some of the dialogue and acting is as painful to watch as the ones derided.
Han and Leia in the ice tunnels looks like they did one take, decided it was too cold and left it at that.
As for Luke the whiny little bitch with Yoda.....Point is, it's a great watch despite all that yet any recent movie gets picked apart so much to find fault.
Ah blow it out your arse. You're the one who was criticising the film. I was just pissed off I couldn't get a Wedge toy when I was a kid.
I remember when they were selling the final stock in the toy shops. I think they cost 50 cents. My brother and I ended up with alot of very minor characters.

I'd love to find all my old figures.
I remember a friend of the folks came to visit and gave me this guy....bear in mind this was in the days before I could Google so I had NO idea where he fitted in. Turns out he is in the background when the rebels are being briefed before the Endor mission in ROTJ

Looks obscure. Rare and expensive now?

....and sadly lost too along with all the rest.
I always assumed with a mug like that he was one of Jabbas cronies.

Ha, I still have him somewhere. He's mangled, but still around.
I had a heap of Jabbas minions who Luke carved up. Never had Luke though...

Luke carved them up easily but against non Jedi I'd say those Gammorean guards woulda been fantastic fighters.
It also makes me wonder how the blind fella from Rogue one would fare against any of the others. By his era the Stormtroopers were pretty inconsistent in their abilities, personally I reckon he'd put up a great fight but lose against any force weilder ( not to mention the Fetts or Grievous ) in a one on one scrap.

Not a good fit IMO. He’s pretty much the same as the guys they hired for the Han Solo movie, who they fired for making a comedy.
A bit of light humour is fine but Star Wars is no laughing matter
