  1. They were removed thanks to a cease and desist from TLC, who probably found out via Eurobricks.
  2. Given that the set is releasing around the holiday season and that TLC will have had roughly a decades worth of market research since the last UCS Millennium Falcon, I don't think they're too worried about it sitting on shelves. When it comes to these sort of pricy D2C sets, I highly doubt the target market is the same as that of your average retail set.
  3. Given the context, it's pretty obviously a typo and that he means "Chopper" Also, given that these aren't the final images, Chopper's head is almost certainly a placeholder.
  4. Just because you don't know anyone with $600+ to spare doesn't mean nobody can afford it
  5. Honestly, what is the obsession with dual-molded legs?
  6. Not to mention that a video is the worst format to view hi-res static images.
  7. Can't you just post static images?
  8. Great! Now instead of looking at the static images conveniently posted in this thread, I can watch them in a video format where I get to pause if I want to look closer!
  9. I'd hardly say that getting a feature film is tantamount to being "given the short end of the stick". Its not uncommon or unheard of for sets based off of IPs (here, I consider the Ninjago movie its own IP, with its own marketing push being equally spearheaded by Warner Brothers and Lego) to be released closer to the release of whatever film they are representing. At the end of the day, I would say try not to lose sight of what Lego is, and that a later release is hardly the end of the world.
  10. His statement was so incredibly vague, does it even matter? Of course the Ninjago Movie version of Misako/KoKo will look completely different from the one we know, just as every other character has. As for him thinking the trailer is going to be enjoyed, that again tells us practically nothing.

  12. I mean sure, if you really care that much about gatekeeping speculative comments and rumors.
  13. Don't forget to cite your sources! http://www.theonion.com/graphic/leaked-last-jedi-footage-reveals-chewbacca-balding-56108
  14. Did you manage to get a pic of the back of the box? I'm curious if the plane can carry the boat and 4x4 as well
  15. How is it weird? Seems like a pretty standard practice for teasers.
  16. It looks like the wings are minifigure neck brackets, and the ears are a 1x1 with clip.
  17. Too bad the bley airtanks are clone parts!
  18. I would tend to disagree. I would say most AFOLs buy sets for the parts first and foremost.
  19. Seeing as those features have only just been announced, and sets are typically designed a year or two in advance, I wouldn't count on it anytime soon.
  20. Maybe a comic version, but I think its far more likely that Lego would produce a new mold should they ever give Captain America a proper helmet. With pieces produced specifically for licenses--such as headwear--I think it is very unlikely to crossover to another theme.
  21. I'm well aware of that, hence why its its own polybag instead of included in the box. IMO, it is meant to be in scale with the UCS snow speeder and is the same sort of free polybag that is sometimes released alongside a D2C set, like Mr. Freeze with the '66 Batcave.
