I was just going to order stormie arms, then I saw this about sandtroopers! It truly is a never ending money pit.

It doesn't represent anything in universe. Maybe put in a drop-out engine?

I wish this came in black or dark brown for the upcoming Enfys Nest minifigure. Maybe it would get in the way of the helmet though.

The print Is very similar to this moc I saw recently on FB https://m.facebook.com/groups/952757701518654?view=permalink&id=1674059409388476 I think these actually look pretty cool and really remind me of the old kenner figure.

I'll be honest, I don't care if their helmets do get stuck on their heads. There's very few situations I'd want to display them without their helmets on.

After seeing the new Harry Potter sets, I like the look of the way the minifigures can hold there wand - straight up or pointing out in front due to the pommel on the end. Would love to see this as an addition to lightsabers - surely we're due a new mold?

Decided to get the whole family together.

The height came from the images of the Hasbro version... And was also decided by the size of a 4x4 round plate cos that was the first piece I picked up for the foot when I started building! There are lots of images of the Hasbro version (which isn't totally screen accurate here https://www.flickr.com/gp/richpepperell101/2u84m8

Definitely an interesting development. The level of detail on the Harry Potter figures is outstanding, as are the new molds. It just makes me want a Star Wars series more. I know all about the historical issues surrounding Star Wars CMF, I just can't believe that there's no chance of negotiating this, especially with the relative popularity of action figures nowadays. I'd have thought Disney and Lego would be pushing for it.

I love the little furry collars on the range troopers and the gunner!

From the main image Brother Brick are using (with the blue background), there appear to be an awful lot of gaps in that shuttle. Behind the cockpit, behind the dorsal fin, and that's before you even look at the weird side gap. I think there might be a lot of work to do on this one to get it looking near screen accurate.

I saw them in the visual guide index and it looks to me like they're the same two actors. I know they've got different names in those photos but... Anyway, this is totally non-lego chat so I'll leave it now.

The imperials in your photo are actually Tag and Bink! It's in the Solo visual guide.

Yeah, found it as soon as I commented. Love the fact they've got a bottle of wine breathing on the sideboard...

Haven't seen the both box anywhere, none of my usual places. Any pointers?

I'm loving the technician and shuttle pilot arms, but I'm not so sure about the stormtroopers. It would be a big payment for all my stormtroopers - I'm waiting to see some post a pic of a load of them to see how it looks. I don't know if it really adds to the look for me. Thanks for posting these.

I'm betting people are going to have some strong opinions in the opposite direction here - but I'm loving that new Chewie! Those goggles are hilarious!

I think those new helmets look just as daft as the next man, but after watching ANH yesterday, I paid special attention to the helmets. They do actually look very similar to the new mold. I think we've all gotten use to the old helmets - on screen they actually look much to big and really round!

I always screenshot... I'm DM you.

Anyone have a photo of a load of stormtroopers with the printed firestar arms? I'm about to get a load, but worry that they'll look too 'busy' and break up the white if their armour too much.

He looks good, would have liked rhe helmeted version too. I know minifigures pop up in funny sets sometimes, but the hauler is definitely a weird place for him to be.

After seeing the movie, I think the length of you Han's speeder is probably more accurate than the official set. It's a lot stubbier than I thought it was going to be.

I love this as I'm in the middle of something along these lines myself. I'm really looking forward to the visual guide next week for some more shots of Corellia. Good work!

My biggest problem with the new helmets is the lack of a chin strap on the heads. Maybe we could have had a double sided head - one side with and one side without the strap. It just looks like something's missing.
