Does this mean Brickset will start showing the new RRPs for these sets as they've been listed?

No spinjitzu this time ):

Does anyone know if the last Jedi first order ATST set is out yet? And any of the new minecraft sets?

I was considering some 2018 H1 Technic sets - was just going to spend a bit of Christmas money and get the free PAB box - but they are on back order!! Already sold out or not really available yet? Also the Mack truck still
Not listed!! I'll wait for the anniversary offer end of Jan I guess!

@bradsayad2014 I've seen the Minecraft sets around eBay and the like but they're not available for purchase on Shop @Home yet and I'm not sure where you'd get them from officially. I don't think the AT-ST is out.

No Creator 3 in 1 sets yet???

77 new sets. 14 are available, the rest is 'Coming soon' or 'Back Order'.

I got all the Star Wars 2018 today and I got the ATST set from Argos

Not impressed with the Technic sets so far this year. I fear they're slipping back into their 'form over function' mode with that theme.

bradsayad2014 Found the new AT-ST in Argos locally today, the price £54.99, for a sub 400 piece set, was a definite deterrent though!

@Tuscan7000 yeah it is quite expensive for what you get. But I've collected and got all the sequel trilogy figures so far. So didn't want to miss out on the new variants of Finn, Rose and phasma. Actually I like the set a lot more than I thought I would

@AyCarrumba - I thought I was the only one that noticed this trend since 2017 1H. Not a lot of functionality, more looks than anything else. Although 2018 1H is better in terms of looks for the larger sets, there isn't a lot of functionality, and really $179 USD for the Mack I think is a bit high (I wonder if it has PF? I can't really tell). There is a bit more in functions in the trailer portion, but not much, and it does look no PF. I will admit the Mack is eye-catching, but to me it screams Model Team, not Technic.

The Rallye Car looks good, but doesn't have as much going for it like the 8070 Supercar II from 2011 2H, at least that had a front engine and PF, and 8070 had a much better color. I realize we are comparing a rally car to a supercar but still.

Summer 2017 was abysmal, a half remote recovery truck, that you have to switch on the truck itself?!?

So, yeah I do agree with your thoughts.

@AyCarrumba - and honestly the 42077 Rallye Car looks like it should belong in the defunct Racers theme, not Technic. Even though it lists on this website that Technic sets 42075-78 aren't available in the US yet, they actually are, just not at LEGO.com or Lego stores, but Toys R Us stores have most of them. I picked up the 42075 First Responder before Christmas, and many TRU stores have had all but the Mack set, but I'm sure larger city TRU's do have that set.
