    Jedi Temple of the Old Republic

    Hello folks, I’m attempting to build a Jedi Temple diorama and have the basics of the main entrance completed. I chose the old republic because it was a lot more colourful, but I don’t know what’s all currently available in Lego for lightsaber colors. I want to arm the Jedi using the broad ray of colours seen in SWTOR, KOTOR, etc. What I’ve been able to come by are (all trans pieces): -Light Pink -Dark Pink -Light Purple -Dark Purple -Dark Blue -Medium Blue -Light Blue / Cyan -Green -Light Green -Yellow -Silver (trans glow in the dark) -Orange -Red Is there anything I’m missing right off the bat?

    LEGO Star Wars 2014 Pictures and Rumors

    Not sure if you've seen this or not but over on the Chima 2014 thread there's a new picture that has a trans yellow lightsaber blade in one of those Chima swords. Worth pointing out as in the EU of Star Wars there are yellow lightsabers (and who knows, maybe in Rebels or EpVII), plus it adds another color to our palette.

    LOTR & The Hobbit 2013 Set Discussion

    The Lake Town Soldier polybag is available in Oklahoma, specifically the TRU in Norman and Moore/OKC. While I was there they had a ton (plus today is the last day for 25% off $100). I managed to buy quite a few but seriously, there were about 60-80 left between those 2 stores.

    LEGO Star Wars 2013 Pictures and Rumors

    Hey guys, I wanted to let those of you that have a LEGO store around you that if you spend increments of $50 you can receive multiple LT clone troopers per purchase. If you explain to them that you're going to buy, lets say $100 of Star Wars LEGO and that it would speed up the process at the checkout to just do it as 1 purchase rather than 2 then (the majority of the time) you can get 2 troopers. Some will say no, others will say yes. 1 employee said that because they have boxes of the LT troopers in the back that they don't care how many they give out at once, as long as you pay $50 per 1 they give you. I've been buying the battlepacks (25% off in stores right now) plus a few $20 and $30 sets, but I guess you could always try it with larger ($70 and $120) sets and see if it works. Hope this helps someone. (They also said that when it gets to the end of Oct, they will try and get rid of them, either give them out per $50 of anything or sell them individually. They also explained that at the end of Oct if you purchase, say, the Ewok Village, they would divide the price by 50 and give you that amount of troopers if they have any left).

    What DC/Marvel Hero/Villain Do You Most Want To See Made In LEGO?

    While many of the mainstream heroes and villans could be made into sets, what about some smaller names for SDCC exclusives. As I stated on the 2013 Super Heroes page, we've had 6 characters so far over the last 2 years. Hopefully that trend will continue next month at SDCC 2013. I would really love to see exclusives of the following (as I don't think having sets of these guys would be all that profitable for LEGO): Captain Britain (Marvel) She-Hulk (Marvel) Scarlet Witch (Marvel) Wasp (Marvel) Batwing (DC) Brainiac (DC) Ultraman (DC) Man-Bat (DC)

    Lego Superheroes 2013 Rumours & Discussion

    Just curious but due to SDCC 2013 coming up, have we heard about any Super Heroes exclusives yet? 2011 gave us: TDK Batman Green Lantern 2012 gave us: Bizarro Phoenix Shazam Venom 2013: So many possibilities

    Post your general LEGO Star Wars questions here

    I'm curious, because the 10188 Death Star has been in production for so long, do the "newer" batches have the minifigures with updated heads to include pupils or are they still being produced with the old black dots for eyes?

    Top 5 Collectible Minifigures

    1) Cyclops 2) Minotaur 3) Genie 4) Lady Liberty 5) Witch I just have a thing with mythological units, but that Cyclops tops the list. Genie is a fantastic minifig and LEGO really did a great job with it. I had to put the series 2 Witch on the list because it's a great depiction and something we hadn't seen before (you know, the green skinned stereotypical looking witch)

    Legends of Chima 2013

    I just received (as part of my May the 4th be with you order) a "free trial" of Chima, specifically 70113 Chi Battles. Very classy LEGO!

    May 4th offers

    Anyone who ordered multiple times on the 4th/5th should check to see if your promotional items were cancelled or not. I just spoke to LEGO because one of mine had been cancelled and they explained that if you ordered multiple times, they would only give you 1 or 2 promotional items, regardless if you placed 5 orders so as to make sure everyone got one. However, they still have some left in stock so you can ask them to be reattached back to your order as mine just were. Hope this helps someone!

    Future Star Wars Minifigs

    I would love to see a Clone Wars Season 5 set with: http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/3/3d/Jedi_Temple_Guards_TWJ.png and this guy: http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/a/a7/SinubeVsMarcy.jpg This could then make for some interesting Temple sets with the guards and their double bladed yellow lightsabers along with a class of younglings and their instructor with his silver lightsaber.

    Batman's Mask Comparison

    It's nice to have more variety in the Batman Suits now. In having both the old and new black&blue, my army of "batmen" don't look like clones. Now was this limited to the black&blue suits only or did the white suit come out before the change too?

    Review: 5000202 Elrond

    Same thing happened to me. I just received my short cape in the mail...even though TLG assured me they would send along a standard cape. I'm going to contact TLG to see what's up. EDIT: Just got off the phone with TLG and they noticed they sent out a short cape instead of a long one and are now sending the new cape in the mail. I'll let you all know if they do send out the corrected item or not.

    No More Elrond Minifigures Available?!?

    Hey everyone. I called up LEGO because I now have 2 Elrond figures with the short capes. The rep looked it up online and saw that, yes, it should come with the long dark blue cape and apologized about the confusion. LEGO is now shipping 2 long dark blue capes to me to fix the "error." This seems like the best fix for the problem, just be nice to customer service

    What's your recent LEGO Star Wars Purchase?

    3 sets of 7962 (Anakin & Sebulba Podracers) because of Target's $30 price. TRU price matched.

    Latest updates on LEGO set sales

    Target has an ad in their weekly deals for 7962 Anakin & Sebulba Podracers for $30 TRU price matched the $30, so quickly go into Target and ask for the ad and then take it to TRU (if your Target doesn't have any in stock) or WM

    No More Elrond Minifigures Available?!?

    Received one today with the short cape, so I'm hoping they will fix this for the future because right now it looks quite weird.

    LEGO Star Wars 2012 Pictures and Rumors

    I'm curious though, would the B-wing be large enough to be both a UCS and minifig scale? (Similar to the shuttle)
