I don't generally follow the leaks and information for new releases, but it is awesome how the fan community came together to support the release of an Ideas project. Will anything like this, with the fan community collaborating, happen again? I kind of expected something similar for the release of the new Millennium Falcon. I stood in line in front of the LEGO store to get this set on the day it came out because I heard there was only going to be one run. It's an amazing set. Well done, Mark and Peter, as well as everyone else who helped!

I was particularly excited about the mention of how close-knit the AFOL community seems when you mentioned the ExoSuit's accidental ad inclusion in Ghostbuster's instructions. <br /><br />For me, the inclusion of many unique, rare, and/or new parts such as green Classic Space and dark bley barrels are cool, and I also like to collect minifig heads, and I currently do not have any in any shade of grey. I do, however, tend to shy away from sets that are mostly grey or single-color-heavy, as it makes sets very boring, but in reality, not feasible for a real exosuit to be in bright pink, now would it? I suppose someone out there could rebuild it using Sand Blue and Medium Blue as Light grey and dark grey respectively; This could give the Exosuit a sort of blue steel kind of color, I suppose.<br /><br />Very nice set. Will pick it up for sure!

If no warning was given, many fans just would have just delayed purchasing, hoping for a sale or just not getting around to it, and still felt disappointed when it ran out. I suspect wiser resellers will be leaving this one alone, anticipating that too many people will be purchasing this for resale and fearing TLG may indeed do a second run.

The promo video shows that it's just a team of two plus the Turtle being sent in to check out what appears to be an abandoned facility. The fact that they end up piloting a pair of exo-suits is mere happenstance, not something they came there to do. It would also get around the fact that there have already been a few walker-type craft in the past that weren't piloted by greens.Purple Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-9302395459619497362014-07-15T17:46:17.904+01:002014-07-15T17:46:17.904+01:00(Same Anonymous as Above) Well, hopefully that sha...(Same Anonymous as Above) Well, hopefully that shall be fixed by Christmas, because that's when I shall be getting mine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-85969511925856671972014-07-15T13:33:52.177+01:002014-07-15T13:33:52.177+01:00I wish reports of one production run were not ment...I wish reports of one production run were not mentioned, this just drives resellers to buy up stock and depriving real fans the opportunity to buy market Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-57082951089596398222014-07-15T10:55:19.102+01:002014-07-15T10:55:19.102+01:00Fascinating!Fascinating!Barkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04389368754759452544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-3613959593240412982014-07-15T10:33:10.979+01:002014-07-15T10:33:10.979+01:00A big thank you to you, Oscar, for keeping it a se...A big thank you to you, Oscar, for keeping it a secret a little while longer!
