I'm in IL near Chicago. I got this at the Woodfield Mall.

Ok, thanks!  I called my local Lego Store and they said Lego made them dispose of all the pick a bricks and minifig station parts!   They don't have either in stores right now in SoCal.  I'll call and see if they can ship them.

I was a huge Admiral Thrawn fan back then.
So I made one myself.

I never expected that he would ever exist as an official figure.

I don't think I need to mention that the official figure is the better one.
But back then I had a lot of fun with the old one ^^

This reminds me when back in 2003 I tried to make a Twi-Lek from a spare Jar Jar head. Your result is definitely better :D

What do people think is the closest to Jango / Clone hair? I've used the Finn hair, and the Draco hair and neither really looks like him. I think the hair thats closest is the piece used for the Ninjago movie version of Zane, but that only exists in white, the older "buzz cut" hair is too cartoony.

For Jango, Fins hair looks closest

Does anyone have a good idea for a Givin head?

[marvelBoy123]

This is the one I use, not perfect but it does the job.

I think it's pretty accurate.

Impressive..

If you told me these were leaked figs, I'd 100% believe you if it wasn't for the arm printing (Because we all know lego wouldn't give them arm printing)

The detailing is superb, I especially like tech.

Thank you! These figures are made with AVfigures decals and casted helmets. Think they turned out quite nice and the detailing is definitely great with 360 detailing.

Deep into the custom arm rabbit hole now, so here's an updated 501st clone pilot with the Firestar 501st custom arms and the new Lego 501st legs (plus the new 501st clones, minus the jetpack, with their respective Firestar arms)

What do you mean by casted helmets?

Impressive figures indeed!

[azzer86]

Anyone think these would work with the new Ponda minifigure?

Or is it the wrong shade of orange? I don't own and resistance figures to check

Casted helmets are helmets made from resin casting into a mould. Thank you!

The resistance pilots those arms are for have the dark orange flightsuits. It looks like Ponda Baba's jacket is bright orange?

I agree, definitely looks like Ponda Baba is bright orange. But that just means the snowspeeder arms can be used instead:

Ah yes, didn't think of those! I was thinking they had different printing on, but that's the other orange (pilot) arms, not the snow speeder.

Thanks

Delta squad and clone commander wolffe, and a printed commander jet

Would you guys be interested in a separate topic of me showcasing some of the figs I make?

Absolutely! These are made by using water decals, I presume?

Yup! All are made with decals except Jet, which is printed.

New helmets at Firestar! Really annoyed I missed the TIE Fighter helmet already, I went to the site within minutes of receiving the email but was already out of stock. Got the other two though:

If you're going to display your figures you may as well give them some vintage Kenner love
