I bet they didn't realize the fan appeal for them and so made up for it by putting it in Kylo's TIE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably, but putting regular Tie pilots in SF Tie was a mistake since only SF pilots use SF Tie's. Well at least now my FO Tie will have accurate pilots!

It is also possible they planned to spread the figure choice out, starting with the regular FO pilots then moving along to the Special forces. It works in a way, because there will probably be no new Tie Pilot variant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But as I can see you're not here that long yet so I'll just spare you some rage and give an advice: let it go. If TLG "messes up" a figure/set, there will be endless moaning. Just do what I do in times like this, bite your lip and wait for the mods to make order. Trust me, it works better than rants but then again..I'm just an everyday potato quality expert Edited June 21, 2017 by brobert Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While I do agree with him completely he does need to chill out, this issue isn't just in EB, it's everywhere. What makes it worse is that people pick out favourites and will only listen and support those community members and the star wars community is by far the worst offender.

Fives Posted June 22, 2017 I'm not sure if anyone here knows the truth behind this, but am I the only one who thinks this looks legit? Found it on google images. It's likely a custom judging from the shinyness of his hand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you sure about that? Hasbro released a FO Special Forces Tie Pilot with red markings at the same as the LEGO FO Tie.

Brickweiser Posted June 22, 2017 In related news, a picture of the Resistance Bomber pilot is circulating Facebook and the figure appears to have a similar double-sided face to the Resistance Bombardier, with the breathing apparatus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

legojeroen Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) Okay I know wild guessing is not that appreciated, but the trans blue piece on the back of this new Ninjago set looks like it could be a future UCS MF cockpit piece.

Or am I going nuts now? Not going nuts at all... that was my first instinct too! The Ninjago Movie sets are actually looking pretty interesting, but those trans blue pieces are screaming to be used as cockpits - if they come in trans clear Hopefully this means something, gotta love what look like the x-wing canopy up front too!

StarWars8Spoiler Posted June 22, 2017 Does that piece go from an 8x8 stud area to a 6x6? The currently-used cockpit goes from 8x8 to 4x4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
