I do find this news irritating as it was a big pull for me to get the set and have a decent sized Guavian Death Gang out of the box. They put 3 Bith musicians in 75052 Mos Eisley Cantina so I figured we were safe from this sort of bean counting/belt tightening whatever it is... dammit. I would not have noticed this until the box was in my hands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tariq j Posted March 26, 2017 The original image (as far as I can tell) was a digital reconstruction of the set. So my guess is, when they were remaking the set in LDD (or whatever program they used) based of the images they had seen, they made a mistake on the number of Guavian Troopers.

Sorry to hear that the stretch of the Sahara you are marooned in can't receive bricklink or eBay orders BUT can get boxed 2017 Star Wars sets.

That Orange Thing Posted March 27, 2017 Just a bit of warning, prison bricks article is a bit spoiler inclined. If you want to go into the film with a clean slate I'd avoid it. I'm not too fussed to be fair. I read it and it was an interestingly insight "if true" but some folk would appreciate a spoiler tag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sportzjester Posted March 28, 2017 3 hours ago, Legofan2001 said: It's not the figure is from a new hope Given that we know the figure has been 'highly desired for a while' and from ANH, we should try to trim down the possibilities. Who are the only characters, likely who had at least a couple spoken lines, that never have had a mini figure (and would be desirable)? I think the list is quite small. Force Ghost Ben Kenobi and Jan Dodonna are the two most prominent characters that fit those characteristics. Who else can we add? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cult_Of_Skaro Posted March 28, 2017 Aunt Beru or Dodonna are good guesses. They're the only ones on that list that are important enough to be 'highly desired.' We just got a greedo in the cantina less than four years ago, so I doubt he's it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only reason I put greedo on the list is because maybe they could update him again and give him arm printing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robianco Posted March 28, 2017 1 hour ago, will said: Stop guessing! You'Il get the thread locked again. Be patient. Seconded. Any listing would just be wild speculation with nothing to back any of it up. As much as there's a couple of people on that list I'd like it to be there's nothing to say it's going to be any of them. One thing is pretty much definite though and that is it's not that Lando figure which was pretty much set up to look like a leak but was quite poorly done.

brobert Posted March 28, 2017 I've been avoiding this thread for a while now, lurking back every once in a while, but as I can see not much has changed.... Maybe it would be better to lock it until something comes along that's worth speculating about, but this continuous guessing out of thin air is ridiculous really.. Or rename it "Lego Star Wars 2017 Wild guesses and unconfirmed half-informations" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
