    My guess would be Bix from Andor.

    File this under unpopular opinions but personally I don't care when or how the rumours drop. The August sets will still come out in August regardless of whether they're revealed in mid July or leaked tomorrow.

    That was General Lando though, in an ROTJ A-Wing. Short of releasing an ROTJ Falcon (which would definitely include Nien Nunb), an A-wing is a good choice for such a fig - the other option being a Home One set. I still maintain that if Nien Nunb is an anniversary fig - and there are various contradictory rumours floating around over the exact composition of the anniversary line-up, so who knows the real picture - he most likely won't be in an OT set going on what we've seen so far. On the other hand, this is Lego, and they've never been very good about following their own patterns and trends...

    [MOC] Kenner Mini-rigs -- NEW: Security Scout & Sand Skimmer

    I recently added to my collection of Kenner Mini-rigs with two Body-rig MOCS. The body-rigs were a sub-line of the mini-rig collection; smaller vehicles with space for a pilot and not much else. As with the mini-rigs they are all non-canon, although several have appeared in Star Wars EU media. Security Scout A one person vehicle with tan and green camouflage, the Security Scout was designed to soar above the forests of Endor as a companion vehicle to the Forest Ranger mini-rig. Sand Skimmer Another small one person hovercraft, similar in design to the Desert Sail Skiff mini-rig, presumably used by Jabba's minions to travel the sands of Tatooine and elsewhere. Here's a photo with the Imperial Sniper from a while back, rounding out the range of body rigs. Instructions: https://rebrickable.com/users/MaximillianBricks/mocs/?tag=46593

    Ah, fair enough. As he falls into the category of 'named character that's never been in a set before' I figured he was going to be an extra anniversary figure.

    A potential Nien Nunb would be great, and putting him in the rumoured X-Wing/TIE crossover set would be the most logical choice, but so far we've got Malak with R2, Saw in a TPM set and Fives in the Tantive, so...

    Updating Your Minifigs

    I'd seen this piece recommended for Mara's torso; I just got one and along with plain black legs it works perfectly. I want to try Han's carbonite torso for Kyle. It's not exact but is the closest I can see for the loose white shirt appearance he has in Dark Forces 2 cutscenes.

    These look great. I'm working on a version of this trio myself and having trouble finding the right head for Kyle Katarn; I don't have a Qui-Gon and other options are Captain America and Aragorn which are both $$$. Luke's torso works very well for Jan, don't know how you got the goggles to stay on her hair piece though!

    Huh, never thought of it that way. When building I figured it was one of those cases of using one more of a piece that was already included in the same bag rather than including a completely different (albeit standard) brick instead. Flipping the price point, and piece count, of the Marauder and Justifier would have been an excellent move; a beefier Marauder to properly fit the whole crew and a downsized Justifier would have been more palatable to people mostly interested in the figs from that set. Ambush on Ferrix was a victim of terrible price setting, with a price way too high for 'volume of stuff' provided. It'd be disappointing if this was interpreted back at Lego HQ as Andor sets not selling well.

    Just built the Tantive hallway set. No surprises that it looks great; Dark Trooper hallway walked so this set could run. Some excellent building techniques in the set, in particular the sideways builds for the curved doorways, and also the way the wall details are created. I know it's popular to get two sets and combine them, but I didn't realise that Lego themselves suggest this in the final pages of the instructions, although not mirrored as is commonly seen. One small (small) gripe is the lack of a clip to attach/hide Vader's lightsaber somewhere on the back of the build so he's not holding it in the scene, but this is easily fixed with spare parts.

    Ideas for a New LEGO website

    Anything related to photo or other media hosting is going to run up storage space very quickly (which is why EuroBricks requires people to link photos from external sites), or if you are relying on external links of official photos that requires all sorts of permissions as stated already. The main thing people are asking for is better search functions but I feel if that was achievable to people capable of creating such algorithms would not be cheap. It's a bit like Lego Youtubers; the market is already saturated so the challenge is finding a niche that hasn't been explored yet, or doing the same as everybody else, but somehow (hopefully) better.

    Watched Jangs reviews of the midi scale ships; originally I was planning on just getting the Tantive but after seeing the Falcon from various angles it's really grabbed me. It looks great with excellent detailing and greebling, especially at that scale. The Tantive is fine and I don't mind the front cone size - seeing the midi build next to the UCS style one from several years ago makes the cones on the larger ship look enormous - but the Falcon is on another level and I'll probably end up getting that set instead of the Tantive.

    What's your recent LEGO Star Wars Purchase?

    Got the Tantive hallway minus the Fives fig for almost 50% off the retail price from Marketplace. Not chasing this fig so I'm very happy with that discount.

    Bricklink Studio version

    I've done it. I can't remember the actual link but there are sites that host older versions of the install files. If you can remember what your previous stable version was, search for that, uninstall the current version and reinstall the old version.
  15. It depends a little also on how you plan to build your mocs. Do you want to build freestyle with your own ideas using whatever pieces you have to hand, or design a moc bases on existing ideas that require specific pieces which you may or may not already own? For me it's the second option and I do everything in Studio before creating a BrickLink wishlist and buying the pieces necessary. So in that situation sets stay as sets (even though I have no intention of selling later) and mocs are built from their own predetermined inventory lists.
