Wojo 2,453 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 My life's failure is not buying the Ultimate Collector's Lego Millennium Falcon #10179 for $500 retail because it now sells for upwards of $6000 on the open market. For many, the licensed Lego sets are an investment. Bilbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodBoal 7,538 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Beware: it reveals a lot about the plot. If you prefer to watch the film without knowing much about it, I wouldn't advise you to watch that video. Quite a tonal shift compared to the first trailer. Not quite sure what they're trying to achieve in terms of atmosphere. It seems to be a bit all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,369 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Wow! Really great cast in that movie! But yea, it looks pretty whack. Might be fun, but will probably be really stupid and derivative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muad'Dib 1,802 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I like to think the John C.
