Hey Guys, i am a lego Galactic Empire / First Order army Builder (With some Rebel /Resistance forces too as balance) and i am asking you a question:

I found at 50 Bucks (40 Euros) this set, looks really cool:

Spoiler:

At the same price i have found this one also:

Spoiler:

And this at 10 Bucks more (at 50 Euros) :

Spoiler:

I have a low enough budget to only take one of these, not more than 1 every month if i catch these sales and more and more interesting stuff is coming in next releases... what shall i go for?

As an Army builder with some other faction elements.

Depends on what are you going to do with them. Even though I like Empire most id go with U wing.
5 minifigures, great playability with many functions. At-st dosent look anything special even if it's a new at-st In a loooong time. 3 figures and you can only fit 1 in the vehicle. Same goes for striker looks awsome but can't do much, but if you're looking for shoretrooper or well imperials in general go for it.

I am a real big fan of Tie Fighters and Imperial troopers so I would choose the Striker. I've actually been looking at getting that one and Krennic's shuttle for awhile. Just waiting for a sale or something though.

The problem is i don't have mucxh rebel themed stuff and i am rally developing the Imperial / First Order Side and it's a timed discount fr both, then The Striker will go back to 74 Euros and the U wing back to 84...stil 10 buck more no big deal...problem is...next purchase will mostly be imperial and first order anyway...so i have the chanbce to either complete the collection or go wide and pick other actions...hwever many rebel sided sets are very pricey.

so i postpone the ATST when i have an actually good sale of it ( so sometime later)... so i shall go to either Striker or U wing...buuut i am still at a dilemma...i like the U Wing somewhat ( as said i like the Huey / Gunship design of it and the fact it's actually a small carrier as well as its custom design) , i am a huge lover of the TIEs, i love the new Shoretrooper, the new pilot and pretty much every imperial unit so far.

I would still go for the u wing. Shoretrooper will probably come to a small set or well a battle pack just like Death trooper did (although not specialist just normal death trooper) And if you want new TIE pilot minifig you can just buy TIE Striker Microfighter and get the same minifigure and a small tie striker for a far less price

I'd go with the U-Wing as well. You're never too old for LEGO, I still have tonnes myself

I'm a lego lover myself and agree with @McSeeven regarding never to old. I'd either pick the first one or the third one: More figurines and both of decent size, though if i'm not mistaken the first one has a mix of both rebels and troopers.

If you can get some clear stands to mount that U-Wing, that would look awesome to have hovering above your Imperial troops.

Plus, shore troopers will probably come out with other sets while that blue jump suit pilot may remain exclusive for a while. Just my 2 cents though.

Thanks for the Advice

I'm really tempted to get my hands on the Lego Death trooper or Krennic's Shuttle personally
