@garysmithspacecadet It's amazing that some areas only seem to have the rectangular tin and others only have the helmet shape. Very weird! Hope you manage to find it eventually 🤞🤞

@falcon55551 Definitely agree, why settle for one clone when you can get the whole Battle Pack for that price! But if you collect the Paper Bags / Foil Packs then you obviously have to buy it 😉😉 And don't forget this is a great entry point for kids to get in to Lego Star Wars.

@@thebrickcruncher indeed one paper bag or two for the collection certainly brings joy! I am adult and I collect the paper bags and then I give away the mags to kids in our kindergarten😃

@michaelelliott8536 I think this is surprisingly common in parts of the UK. I don't know if it's a distribution issue but I know several people have had the same problem. Supermarkets seem to be a good option, my brother found a rectangular one in Morrisons. So don't give up and keep searching, hopefully you will find the other tin soon! Good luck! 🤞🤞🤞

@NachoCheese2 Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I completely understand your point! The Battle Pack offers fantastic value with a generous number of Clone Troopers and Battle Droids for the price. While the basic Phase 2 Clone Trooper can be purchased for less individually, getting the unique paper bag / foil pack can make it a worthwhile addition to your collection. Also, if you only want a few basic clones, grabbing the magazine at cover price from a local shop is a great way to avoid shipping hassles.

@MiG_Destroyer457 Thanks for pointing out the subtle difference between the two minifig heads. I don't have the Captain Rex Y-Wing yet so I've not really looked at the figure too closely. It's on my list so I'll be sure to check the heads out when I get it 👍

@james2506 Totally agree, the numbering has been weird lately...and the different minifigs in different countries makes it even more confusing!

@nahidahamed1742 I totally get that, another minifig would have been nice! I think 2 minifigs are usually in the Ninjago Tins and it would have been nice to get a stormtrooper in the tin as well as Vader.

@@thebrickcruncher its a big tin, you can easily put two figs in

@nahidahamed1742 Yes, you could definitely get two or more minifigs in the tin and it would be great👍👍Just not sure it will ever happen...but let's hope so 🤞

Yeah same, i think the European issue is the other way round to the uk edition

@michaelmorris9363 Thank you for sharing the info! Cool, the Sabine Wren minifigure is great and a good addition to the collection if you don't have it already. The only question remaining is when will you get the Phase 2 Clone Trooper that Spain & Germany get next month? We will have to wait and see!

@joedewitwomey9627 The Sabine Wren issue will be released in the UK on the 14th August. I'm pretty sure you will be able to get it in Tesco!

@Bart-Did-it the magazine in the video is the Spanish Lego Star Wars Magazine Issue 111. It was €5.99. The UK will get the Sabine Wren paper bag next month, in issue 112. Spain & Germany are getting a Phase 2 Clone Trooper with issue 112.

@Bart-Did-it No this is the issue 111 that was published in Spain last week.

@@thebrickcruncher wtf how for us it will be 112 that’s weird huh

@@thebrickcruncher that means you missing an issue ? you showed us the 111 Darth tins both of them today just realised 111 uk and in the back it says next issue Sabine Wren. It’s all interesting 🧐 all over a Lego mag lol .

@@thebrickcruncher ah Cool seen now

@Bart-Did-it I know it feels like time travel sometimes but this is issue 111. The magazine in the video is the Spanish edition released in July. The Sabine Wren Minifig will be released in the UK with issue 112 which should be available from the 14th August

@PixelArcherCookie Good to hear that you got your Darth Vader OK. Yes I saw the UK would get Sabine Wren as issue 112. I guess some people will be disappointed that they won't get a Phase 2 Clone Trooper next month. But you will probably get it with issue 113.

​@@thebrickcruncheryea, I imagine that Spain will get theirs before the uk

@PixelArcherCookie yes we usually get it in Spain a few days before the UK. The Spanish issue 112 comes out on the 9th August and on the 14th August in the UK. But Spain & Germany will get the Phase 2 Clone Trooper and UK will get Sabine.

Just seen it in Tesco

@a_random_guy5741 I just spoke to my brother and he is having the same problem, he can only find the Helmet Tin. If you haven't tried them yet, supermarkets can be a good place to try. Good luck!

@danoxenham7601 Thanks for the sharing 🙏

I’m having the opposite problem, I can only find the rectangle tin. I’ve looked everywhere in Hereford and Nottingham, incl. all motorway services between the two places!! 🤬🤬🤬

Ebay

@Matt..S Wow how did I miss that🤔 Good spot 👌I was clearly concentrating too much on the rest of the magazine. I remember seeing Camino, thinking Kamino and turning the page! Sorry for any confusion, thank you for watching the video and I'll try harder with the posters next month 👍

@@thebrickcruncher Well I guess Spanish is your first language so you instantly knew what was meant. I just heard Kamino and thought of the planet...and then the car/movie and thought, man they couldn't have made such a bad mistake as to associate non clones with Kamino... Now I wonder if they deliberately made the Mandalorian motto "This is the way" as an easter egg for spanish speakers

@Matt..S I love the idea of the Spanish Mandalorian easter egg 👍 I've been watching some TV with Dutch subtitles recently and noticed "vader" is Dutch for father... this is probably common knowledge but I didn't know....

@@thebrickcruncher But Vader is merely based on invader. Same as Sidious being shortened from insidious. George didn't know about Vader being Dutch for something.

@Matt..S Interesting information! Thanks for sharing!

@filipcuber1932 Nie ma za co! Thank you for letting me know it was helpful, I hope the translation was OK.

@marksamson4990 I really appreciate your feedback, thank you 👍 Yes it's been a very strange couple of months for the magazines. I think that when the mag has a minifigure they tend to sell out quicker, especially if it is one that people want multiples of. The 25th Anniversary Edition (UK issue 111) with the Darth Vader tins sold out very quickly in my local area.

Yes it’s 112 U.K. that’s Augusts issue 🇬🇧

@Bart-Did-it yes the Sabine Wren issue will be published in the UK as number 112 on the 14th August.

@@thebrickcruncher yeh seen 👌

@ename6622 Sorry for any confusion. It's currently exclusive to the minifigure sw1302. The previous Sabine minifigures (sw0616 & sw0742) both used another head part (3626cpb1237) that was also used for a Jurassic World minifig. Hope that clears up any confusion 🤔

@xyncapex Hi. Yes, it's the same Darth Vader figure from the Darth Vader Mech set. It is identical.

@MsLucio1976 Perfecto. ¿Qué caja conseguiste?

@@thebrickcruncher tutte e 2

@MsLucio1976 perfecto!

@grzesgrzesiu Thank you for watching the video. It's good to know that it was useful.

@ManuelaKolonista-ny3nm Thanks for watching!

@Bart-Did-it Let's hope that doesn't apply to 100% of kids or to quote my favourite droid..... "We're doomed!"

@@thebrickcruncher 😂 I admire your positivity. But yeh the phone is ruining us . As a kid I’d of died for the tins so many things it could have been used for and it’s got a cool really well painted / printed with w lacquer coating that’s not cheap but the steel is . They are nice but they will be chucked for sure by most and the fog goes on the shelf with the other 1000 and no sets in sight all got sold with figs on eBay so you can buy more set free figs . The little is don’t build they follow the instructions then on the shelf it goes or in the loft in a plastic box .

@Bart-Did-it Yes nothing beats building from a box of bricks and just making whatever you wanted, and pulling them apart with your teeth! But yes the tins are cool, no doubt. Mine is on my shelf, it's full of treasures 🤣 and my Vader is standing next to it...

@C.pranksters 17th July in the UK.

@Ravedaze. I completely agree with you about the parts being loose in the tin. I was surprised that there was no inside packaging. It would have been great to have a foam, cut out insert that held all the parts in place.... I think that would have made this even better!

Haven’t you seen the Lego Ninjago Legacy Magazine?

@@StanislawSzeryf yes I’ve already seen those in my shop already

@user-hv3me8sx2w The release date for the UK is the 17th July... unless you find it somewhere early!

When is it available in Poland?

@Kamyk420 Sorry, I don't know the release date for this issue in Poland. 🤔

@connoreagle6843 Awesome, thanks for subscribing!

@connoreagle6843 Thank you for reaching out! Hope the video was helpful. I think this is a pretty good version of the Gonk Droid, and exclusive to the magazine too 👍

I'll probably wait another week since they get the Star Wars ones around every 3 weeks

@PixelArcherCookie it should be out in the UK on the 17th July so I hope you can pick a copy up OK. If you have a choice will you choose the Rectangle Tin Box or the Darth Vader Helmet one?

@PixelArcherCookie yes a week sounds about right. If it helps a lot of the supermarkets stock the Lego Star Wars Magazines now. Good luck! 🤞

@Gabi.J Thanks for letting me know, I prefer the rectangle one as well. At the moment there has been no news about more collectible tins but the Ninjago Magazine does have them every so often so we have to hope that Lego Star Wars will do more... I'm sure they would be popular with fans! I'm looking forward to the Sabine Wren minifig in the next issue. Thanks for the support 🙏

@user-zv5se2ps4j That's awesome! Sounds like you have quite the collection going on. Thanks for the support 👍

Around £6 last time i saw one

@meisteryoda2463 In the UK this issue is £6.99, and in Spain I paid €7.99. I don't know if the Euro price will be the same across Europe. Hope that helps.

@Robot-oh3et Thank you for the comment 🙏 Ah, the ever-fluctuating market of Lego Star Wars Magazines! 🤔 I think this special anniversary issue will be £6.99 💸💸

@Jedi.Bricks Thank you! As a fan of your work means a lot 🙏

@bricksontoast8568 I really appreciate your support and the fact that you enjoyed the video means a lot to me! Thank you.

@valley_robot Thank you for the support. 7 Darth Vader figs? That's some serious dedication right there! I'm not sure how many I have 🤔 I think these recent ones are about as detailed as LEGO can make them so that's good... the downside is that they become like Chewbacca minifigs and you end up with a whole army! And as far as releasing the same Darth Vader minifigure with 2 different types of fabric cape.... that's just pushing it a bit far!!

@Mark.der.Brick.Magier In Germany, Darth Vader and the collectible tin is out 12th July and the next issue is not know at the moment. If it is the same as Spain, it will be a Sabine Wren Minifigure sw1302 after Vader.

@@thebrickcruncher nice

@TorrentStudios I think the TIE Bomber minifig was sw1249, which came with a "Spongy Cape". The rest of the minifig is exactly the same as this one (sw1273) except for the cape which is a "Traditional Starched Fabric Cape" 😲😂 Who knew capes so be so complicated 😉 Thank you for the support 🙏

@@thebrickcruncher Now that I look at it, you're right, I haven't touched the spongy cape in a while (it's been sitting in the mech) and I forgot about the different textures

@jSirBrickzAlot I know the lack of the Lego Star Wars Magazine in the USA has been frustrating fans for a long time. Particularly because it limits your access to the Foil Packs / Paper Bags. Blue Ocean Entertainment holds the licensing rights to publish the LEGO Star Wars magazine in Europe and they don't have a significant presence in the USA. Thanks you watching the video 👍

Well the main reason is that it is obvious that many people buy LEGO SW sets solely for its minifigures. Some European countries are significantly poorer than the US so releasing gazettes with minifigs is a pretty sustainable model in Europe because people wouldnt buy big expensive sets anyway, whereas releasing such gazettes in US would discourage consumers from buying sets they could actually afford and therefore fill the LEGO pockets big time.

@jimmyharlow8904 Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this topic! It's always good to hear different views.

@janveskrna Thank you for the kind words, much appreciated. Fingers crossed for the magazine next month and I'll have to see if if I can find the magazine release dates for the Czech Republic for future videos 👍🙏

@klipsfilmsmelbourne A Clone Commander Deviss is a great suggestion. That would be an awesome addition to anyone's LEGO Star Wars Minifigure collection! Thanks for sharing your idea.

Hey, that's a wild ride with this month's LEGO magazine! It sounds like you're on a mission to crack the mystery of the LEGO Star Wars Magazine! That's the best magazine paper bag haul that I've heard of for a while! 2 Tusken Raiders and no 501st is weird, somebody probably "swapped" them...but I agree with you, I like the Tusken Raider anyway! The Falcon was issue 80, Y-Wing issue 96 and Scout Trooper was issue 97.

@@thebrickcruncher ah I see I knew they were familiar. I only started like issue 85ish . I don’t like the micro builds really I buy for presents 🎁 and any fig I like the look of . I got a ninjargo mag the other month two of the same and a third different fig taped to it . I think the job of doing it sucks so bad they do it on purpose. Over nearly 60 mags I’ve discovered errors if you look in every shop with a mag rack you go . Skegness shops has scout n y wing , Northamptonshire Tesco n Morrison’s seem to have millennium falcon and Tusken raiders 🤷‍♂️. Same with marvel magazines as well .

@@thebrickcruncher thanks for the reply bro 👊🏿

@LeGo-ThInGs Totally agree, the Lego Rancor is awesome! I have always wanted to have one but they are so expensive complete. Although it took me some time to get all the parts I saved quite a bit of cash and can now admire it everyday 😉 Thanks for the support

@@thebrickcruncher np

@eaglescouttrooper7969 Thanks for sharing your experience with the Battle Packs! It's awesome to hear about the great deals you snagged. And the bonus star ship foil pack is the cherry on the cake. 😎🍰

No they're called specialists. If you're going to get mad about nothing at least get it right

@stevemcclue5759 That's awesome! The Scout Trooper is a cool bonus minifigure! I've never seen a Lego Star Wars Magazine with an extra paper bag in Spain!

I picked up this issue with an extra tusken raider!

@RogueBulldogs Brilliant, great to find one with another minifig! Very envious!!

Uk extra millennium falcon and 501 trooper but has got up from Just under £5 to now £7 pounds first time gone up

@flobfella3103 yep i noticed that!

@Clone_TrooperX Nice one! Glad you finally found the edition with the 212th Trooper Clone. It's a great minifig and the paper bag has held it's value well too. 👍

@HidesFromSun I'm glad you found the information helpful! Thank you for taking the time to comment, I appreciate your support. My throat is slowly getting better! 🙏
