I asked in the Rumor thread but that has conversation has been shut down by the mods. Does anyone know why Lego is listing Lobot’s cybernetic band as an accessory? What do they mean? Is that just a reference to a new head print for Lobot? I can't see any accessory in the photos. I'm confused.

Quick question: Why does Lego list "Lobot's cybernetic band" as an accessory? Are we talking about the printing around the back of his head? Or is there something else that I'm missing in the photos?

Nice work TLG! Cloud City has turned out to be exactly what I wanted out of it. YMMV. The only thing missing is 3PO's parts in a net/backpack but I'm not sure how they would pull that off and also have it be able to connect to Chewie's back without several new molds and it would probably still look derpy.

I think a big part of the appeal of Lego for at least some of us is the minifigures themselves and minifigure scale sets. I, for one, would never buy a microfigure Cloud City. That scale just doesn't interest me. But if it is similar in scale and playability/features to Assault on Hoth then count me in on day one.

This is an awesome build. Very clever and creative. I commend you for sharing something the likes of which we've never seen before. Love it. I imagine he would have a couple of gamorrean guard wingmen in smaller custom TIEs.

Actually, it was a major surprise given that our Mod's "reliable" source told us there would be a Luke minifigure and that news was on the first thread since at least March.

It was briefly available at Legoland California back in March or something.

Sorry if this is an inappropriate place for this question. Is there any reliable source that has mentioned a Luke minifigure in this year's TLJ sets? It seems odd we haven't seen one at this point. I know that the OP's trusted source had originally said Luke would come in 75189, which has since been proven false. Now he's not mentioned on the first page. Are there any other sources that mention him?

That is a good thing in this case. This is an exclusive set to which most consumers will not have reasonable access. I'm glad I won't feel like I'm missing out on something by not getting it.

It's not totally out of the realm of possibility to get something the size of the 75055 Star Destroyer. So maybe they would do that. Or it could be a playset of just a portion of the interior like 7754 Home One.

No image of the new IG-88 anywhere? Do we know if it's identical to the last one?

I'd prioritize by which is your favorite or most important to you. When I started collecting modulars, I assumed Town Hall would stick around and bought Pet Shop instead despite liking it less. I thought Pet Shop being older made it a higher priority. Town Hall was retired the next month and vanished too quickly for me to get it at a reasonable price. In hindsight, I still don't have Town Hall and I'd much rather have it on my modular street than some of the others.

I can't believe that we still don't have an updated Bespin version of Luke. It's the most iconic scene of any Star Wars sequel and I can't make a decent diorama of it without him. I also can't believe they didn't cash in on the TFA Luke yet. That minifig would sell whatever it would be paired with like hotcakes. Let's get the Luke situation under control Lego! I already have like 5 ROTJ duel Lukes. Actually, let's get the whole third act of TESB under control Lego!

Brilliant work. I love it.

I kinda hope it's that speeder bike that hasbro made with an elite black FO stormtrooper. 2 of those and 2 regular troopers would be nice. I don't remember seeing any on film though.
