Hello all! I am the General Moe, and i create stop motion films. My first taste of Lego Brickfilms came in 2007, when the Lego page featured some stop motions in the star wars section. I was hooked! An Average Death Star Day was my favourite by far, and i have a love for the Brickfilms of the past. So i decided to create a series that harkens back to the classic age of lego stop motions! I deliberately recreated the style of the old films. This involved lowering the frame rate and camera quality. A plain and consistent lighting was used, with the occasional flicker and set mistake. The parts and figures used were all kept pre-2007, and the sets were built in the simple, straight forward style of the early brick films. Most importantly, the practical effects! People were very limited back them, so i imposed those limitations on myself as well. I hope you enjoy theses films and bring back the memories of the time spent on the Lego Star Wars homepage!

The Cloud City playset from Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Backs…https://ideas.lego.com/projects/163944 I wanted to design a fun and playable set which would include the ionic scenes from the Empire Strikes Back film. The aim was to create a set that resembles the shape of the cloud city and offers a playable platform like the Death Star play set. I’m a keen Star Wars fan and as Cloud City hasn’t seen a new set since 2003 I thought I would have a go. I hope you enjoy and welcome your creative input into my project. Thanks for your vote…

[SoNE Ep. XIII - Freebuild 4] Imperial Survey Corps
Merc4Hire posted a topic in Nar Eurbrikka Archive
With all that happened during the last patrol, It felt good coming back to base. I took off my helmet for a breath of fresh air. Finally a moments rest, or so I thought. That was until I came across an imperial officer. Blasted! And while I'm outside of uniform. I nearly jumped as I saluted him, "Sir". "At ease soldier. I am Commander Ulric. I am here in regards to your recent performance. You displayed exceptional skills in the capture of the Rodian rebel scum, enough for me to take notice." "Thank you sir. Just doing my duty." Looks like he doesn't mind the helmet. "Indeed. And that is why you are hereby promoted to the Imperial Survey Corps. You are under my command now, effective immediately." "Yes sir!" "Now, report to bay 12 in 0400 hours and prepare for departure. We're leaving this back-water planet." "Right away commander." "And trooper, who gave you permission to remove that helmet." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey guys, back with a small vignette scene set in the interior of an imperial bunker. The build was made mostly for continuity sake to show my character's progression but it also gave me a chance to introduce a new character, Commander Ulric. Albeit he's a generic hates-everything kind of guy, I like how he turned out. So tell me what you guys think and thanks for viewing. Please judge this freebuild. -
On my first day as part of commander Ulric's unit, we had received concerning orders. The empire had issued a hit list of identified Black Sun spies hiding out on Tatooine who were too dangerous to be left alive. Our target was an imperial officer whose been secretly transmitting imperial records to Prince Xizor. Normally taking out traitors is no trouble, but we couldn't risk tipping off Xizor. We were going to have to make the officer "disappear". Luckily I was always good with a blaster and Tatooine is a terribly unsafe place. So while commander Ulric "escorted" the spy on ground, I took to the roof tops. Even with all the stalls and civilians, the traitor was easy prey. And just as I got the perfect shot, Ulric gave the order. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey guys, here is my entry for Ep. XIII challenge. It was originally going to be two towers but the pieces I ordered for the second building didn't arrive on time so I decided to downscale the build and included a stall instead. Overall I like how it turned out, smaller than I had intended but I think it now has a little more variation than my original design. So tell me what you guys think and thanks for viewing. Also, sorry about the poor photo quality, I'll try to edit a better photo before the final hour.

We managed to find the wanted Rodian at Mos Eisley, thinking he was just another smuggler trying to hide out on Tatooine. But it turns out he wasn't your everyday space scum. No, this Rodian was caught stealing imperial codes, no doubt to sell them to Rebels. As soon as we called him over he ran and made us chase him down to the flea markets on the outskirts. He was fast and he even tried to use the crowds as cover, probably thinking that we wouldn't shoot, but catching him was more important. Get out of the way! Blasted! He's gonna get away. Aim for his legs. We only need him alive. He tried to hide through the crowd but as soon as blaster shots were fired, a wide path opened leading us straight to him. All it took was a few shots and just like that the Rodian fell to the ground, dropping his blaster and the Imperial codes. Don't move Rebel scum! Call in HQ, tell them to get the interrogation droid ready. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hey guys, back with the final part of my Tatooine intro arc. I tried to make the most of my tan pieces on this build, especially for the cliff side and I also finally got to use those ewok glider cloth pieces I'm so fond of. All in all, I'm pretty happy with this build. So tell me what you guys think and thanks for viewing. Please judge this build.

This is a project I've been working on from time to time during the summer. A bobblehead is a toy figure with an oversized head that is connected to the body with a spring. When you lightly tap on its head it wobbles (or bobbles) back and forth for a while. I was thinking about how a bobblehead could be made by LEGO bricks, and how the wobbling effect could be built. There is no real LEGO spring that can be used for this purpose, so I had to think of something else to use. After some trial and error I found a simple technic using an LEGO antenna piece which creates a wobbling effect that works really well. The video below shows how it works in reality. I created an Ideas project of it as well, so please have a look and I would appreciate if you gave it your support. I decided to recreate six characters from the original Star Wars movie into LEGO bobbleheads - Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Boba Fett, Darth Vader and a Stormtrooper. The head can also be turned in all directions like in the image below. Hope you enjoy it!

With the rebellion on the rise, more and more stormtroopers were spread through out the galaxy to search and seize the galactic insurgents. And Merc4Hire's unit was no exception, much to his delight as his days of exploring beyond the Tatooine dunes had finally arrived. ----- Hello fellow Imperials and Rebels, I've recently joined this RPG and wanted to make a simple introduction build for my character. The picture is a bit blurry since I had to use a camera I was unfamiliar with (for reasons) but I hope its not too hard on the eyes. If this counts for points, please judge this build and thanks for viewing.

Hello Eurobrickers! Today I would like to show you my real 3D Lego mosaic with Darth Vader and Stormtrooper. I`m not Star Wars fan, but I`ve built something like this. I had before 3D Lego mosaic (mosaic 1, mosaic 2) with a stand to rotate my mosaics, but the stand I demolished

Hi again! Finally, the Base is finished. Yes, completely finished. Not a WIP anymore! These pictures are from ALEBRICK2015, a Lego fan event that took place in May 2015 in Madrid, Spain. I hope you enjoy the pictures. Feel free to ask anything you want. More pics will be published later! These are the general pictures. The base is 1.6 x 1.6 meters, 16 baseplates (yes, very big, I had to visit the physiotherapist after this event, my back suffered much of loading and carrying heavy boxes) The Base has a 180-strong staff: 109 snowtroopers, 24 shadowtroopers 12 SpecOps stormtroopers, 12 AT-ST pilots, 5 officers, 15 administrative-service staff, 1 mechanic, 1 cook, 1 medic. The buildings in the Base are the following: MULTIPURPOSE BUILDING: DINING ROOM, KITCHEN, PANTRIES, ARMORY, GYM, LAUNDRY, BAR-CINEMA (hey, a bar is something essential if you are from Spain) This post will only show the multipurpose building. -DINING ROOM This is the dining room. More than 50 seats for the staff. A very greedy snowtrooper has an extra-stuffed pizza. Fat! This one...better not to say anything. Should anybody inspect the kitchen to prevent this? -BAR-CINEMA These ones want to have a kiwi. Too much food for too few! Training with simulated weapons is a good idea. Lobster day!!! -GYM AND LAUNDRY The Imperial Navy takes care of its troops. a Gym with a sauna, jacuzzi and cold water pool is necessary to keep high the morale of our troops. State-of-the-art running machines and boxing bags Cold water pool Sauna (better without armour) Sometimes the Imperial Navy´s cheerleader team leader comes by! More fun! -LAUNDRY Keep your uniform clean or the Commander will have you clean the reactor with your tongue! -ARMORY The armory has two levels, and this is what you will find: This is the upper level. You can see extra missiles and grenade launchers. There are boxes with explosives and 6 sniper rifles. Lower level, general view. The kitchen can be seen, too. The weapons specialist having a piece of brownie! Is that serious? That container has some of the mines and detectors for the UAV. http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/361379 Extra blasters, heavy cannons, and land mines. Close up on the mines and detectors for the UAV The elevator to the upper level. The "doomsday weapon". Have you watched the film Beneath the Planet of the Apes? -KITCHEN AND PANTRIES This is the kitchen. The Chef prepares ultra frosted pizzas. Are they healthy? :) The kitchen has two ultra-fast ovens and a tray cleaner. Two sinks and a small BBQ complete the equipment. This is the dry food storage. Bananas, olive oil, water, trays and more trays. Cold storage and freezer. Pizza bases, bananas, Spanish omelettes, carrot cakes and other foodstuffs. The small cupboards keep more brownies.

Hello fellow Star Wars fans. I had a long week and I needed to change my mind. FedEx came just in time with my free shipping double VIP order. Nothing better than a Lego box to clear your mind. Battle pack aren't long to build so I thought I would review the set to make the fun last longer! So without further introduction, my fifth review: Galactic Empire Battle Pack! Name: Galactic Empire Battle Pack Theme: Star Wars / Battlefront Year: 2016 Pieces: 109 Minifigures: 4 Price: USA 12.99$, ENG 11.99£, CAN 15.99$, EUR 16.99€ Ressources: Brickset Lego store description Launch an Imperial attack from the battle station! The rebels have been spotted in the distance. Jump onto the control center to pinpoint their location, load the dual shooter, arm the blasters and fire! With your help, the Imperial Troopers will send those rebels running for cover! -Includes 4 minifigures: 2 Imperial Stormtroopers, an Imperial Shock Trooper and an Imperial Technician -Features a control console, dual stud blaster station and a detachable spring-loaded shooter. -Detach the spring-loaded shooter to expand the battle play. -Includes 4 stud blasters and extra ammo. -Accessory elements include 2 jetpacks and 3 Imperial Trooper helmets. -Recreate endless LEGO® Star Wars battle adventures. -Makes a great addition to any LEGO® Star Wars collection. -Measures over 1” (4cm) high, 3” (10cm) wide and 2” (7cm) deep. The box has the 2016 episode VII art: Kylo Ren. On the back we see the play features like the detachable gun that can be used as a turret. Also the accesories that are included. Inside the box there is 2 numbered bags and the instruction booklet which as the same image as the box. Like always. The back with the win minifigure. Spare parts. Mainly studs (its a BP) and a missile. The completed model: It's supposed to be a gun platform. It is not based on anything seen in any movie/videogame. Front view Side view Back view The canon can be detached and serve as a machine gun emplacement. The control section looks better by itself. You could attach 1 gun on each side if you have more than 1 set. You can sit a minifigure on the lowest seat but not on the second one. I don't know why they would put the red piece there because it forces your the second minifigure to be standing. Now to the minifigures or the reason you buy Battle Packs We get 4 like always. Two jetpack trooper, one technician and one shocktrooper. The jetpack trooper are the regular stormtrooper but with added battle damge. The shocktrooper are never seen before. They are based on the new Battlefront game from what I heard. They were also in the Force Unleashed video game and had a speacial shield ability. They were pretty cool. The technicians is the same print as the Imperial Star Destroyer but with a slightly different face and newly colored hat in black. Back view I added some comparison pictures From left to right The jumptrooper, the regular stormtrooper, the rebel one and the 1999 version. A shocktrooper, a jumptrooper, a rebels stormtrooper and a regular stormtrooper. back printing The imperial technician with the one from the ISD and the ISD microfighter. back printing Rating ------ These three points are not included in final score. Price: 6/10 – We know the drill by now. Around 10-15$ (depending on country) for 4 minifigures, a small build and around 100 pieces. Most are studs or really small. But these are all about the minifigures. We get 3 variants all new and with great printing but a small and not iconic at all vehicule. Price is OK for what you get. Parts: 6/10 – No really interesting parts except the jetpacks which are exclusive to that set in that colour. At least there are very few technic pieces so you get mostly bricks. Build 4/10 – Battle pack are not about build but this one was really boring. The vehicule is very small and uninteresting. Plus not knowing what it is makes it a forgetable build. It will take between 5-10 minutes to build. ------ Design 3,5/10 – This vehicule is not inspired by any source material. This is one reason I gave it such a low score. Not because I only want canon material but because the designer had free game to build whatever they wanted with a Star Wars feel and they came up with this little kind of command platform/artilerry gun which is not really detailed and feels incomplete. It gets some points because of the play features like the detachable gun and the missile function but that only offer so much. A speeder or any other kind of vehicule that could have fought with the speeder bike of the Rebel Alliance BP would have been better. Also this doesn't give any display value. Minifigures: 8/10 – We get 4 minifigures and 3 variations. They all have the same angry clone face except the technician who has a different face print with a microphone. The jumptrooper are inspired by the battlefront video game (like this whole BP). They have the normal stormtrooper printing (not Rebels) but with added damage print. They look good but it might feel a little too much specialy the big crack on the helmet. Some will love them so will hate them. The damaged trooper can represent experience troopers or if you will 'crack' troopers. (Pun intended) All the added print limits the army bulding potential of this set unless you want to amass a Lightning division who all have a lightning bolt crack on their helmet. The shocktrooper is a nice variant. You can use the as the Emperors guards or some specialist units. They have just enough red to look different but not to much to look like some clone trooper from a clone legion. My point is they still look like stormtrooper. They are canon because of battlefront but it's easy to imagine that the Empire had more than one variant of trooper. The technician is the same as the ISD one. His new hat is probably what many will go after. Still, it might be more accurate but for kids who don't spot those kinds of details in the movie, it may look a little weird for them to have an all grey trooper with a black hat. (Fashion alert LOL) Overall, the selection of trooper variations is great. You get 2 assault troopers (jetpacks), one specialist trooper (shocktrooper) and a support soldier (technician). Playability: 8/10 – This set is one faction only. You need some alliance troopers (I'am talking about you Alliance Battle Pack) for the complete playability experience. Still, by itself the sets still brings some fun features. The stud shooters are always fun to shoot and so is the springshooter. The trooper with jetpacks are also fun to play with because every kid dreames at least once to own a jetpack. Also the turrets rotates and you can remove the cnnon and use it as a turret leaving you with a small command center and a gun platform. OVERALL 6,5/10 – This is an average BP because of a lackluster vehicule. But the minifigure are amazing. It all depends if you like the damaged stormtrooper and if you don't mind adding a diffrent kind of stormtrooper to your army. The things is, a low quality build and some unique (too unique?) minifigures diminushes the army building potential of this pack. But since we mostly get them for figures, I see this pack going in many peoples collection. Please comment and share your thoughts about this set and the review in the comments. Thanks for reading!

Hello star wars lego people. Proxy here, first post. I've been collecting the star wars sets for a couple years now. I have a bad habit of buy two of each set to see if I can combine them into an improved version of the set. My latest run was at the Mos Eisely Cantina. Using two Cantina sets, along with some left over parts from my advanced Jabba's Palace, I made the follow improvements. I'm not 100% complete and satisfied with it yet, but its a good start. I wanted to keep the same feel as the original set, and not build something insanely accurate to the movies. I feel this still holds onto the heart of a lego set.

[LDD][MOC] Imperial Troop Transport (Star Wars Rebels)
LegoStarWarsLDDShop posted a topic in LEGO Star Wars
When I first heard that the LEGO company was releasing a rendition of the vehicle back in January 2015, I had high hopes that their set would be faithful to its inspiration. Sadly, that wasn't the case, and their rendition was definitely my least favorite of that wave. I've been wanting to make this vehicle for some time. After finding another great MOC from another LEGO Designer, my design finally came together. If you wish to see his project, which is exceptional, you can click here. The design features many of the features seen in the original ship, namely a rotatable top cannon, a central canopy with space for 2 drivers and a commanding officer, 6 side areas for prisoners or deploying troops, and 2 adjustable front guns. Along with a very sturdy frame design, this is the perfect rendition of the fan-favorite Imperial vehicle. Here are some pictures of the design from different viewing points. Let me know in the comments what you think of this design, and be sure to tell the original designer how nice his MOC is as well, as his is the inspiration for this design. You can also go to MOCpages & to see this vessel, if you want. -
A scene from the Battlefront III beta that came out earlier and this week. Also, I'm working on my white backgrounds with the CCC just around the corner...

Just a small and quick MOC of three imperial cargo crates. Was hoping to create a imperial underground warehouse once i have ordered more parts and create a lot more of these. Please post any photos of your designs like this or relating to this topic and any suggestions.

I made this quick and easy build from Bits and Pieces i had lying around.I didn`t plan anything,i just had a rough Idea of how it should look and just grabbed Piece after Piece from my Cardboard Box and looked how i could place it. The Result is a Stormtrooper standing in a Corner of a devastated Sidestreet,with ruined Buildings and Trash lying all over the Place. Of course this is only on a tiny 6y6 Plate but just imagine it being Part of something bigger: This Build was a lot of Fun and also an early Christmas Present for a Friend at Work (which i tried turning him into an AFOL,He is vulnerable to the Brick Side of the Force....only needs to Push into the right Direction) Needless to say he really liked the little Display. Hope you like it too.

Hello everyone! It's my first time ever sharing any of my animated films here, so I thought I'd share some of my newest films of my first series called: STAR WARS INQUISITION Set before the events of A New Hope, the Empires hunts down the remnants of the Jedi who had escaped the Order 66 purge. The Emperor would form an order of Force Users known as Inquisitors to find and bring the Children of the Force to the Darkside or let them share the same fate as the Jedi. These are the stories of the Inquisitors and those who were a part of the Inquisition. Star Wars Rebels: Inquisitor Mara Jade by AJV777, on Flickr Star Wars Inquisition: Child of the Force (on Youtube) by AJV777, on Flickr STAR WARS Ruins of the Sith by AJV777, on Flickr See them all here: I hope you all like them and would appreciate hearing what you all think. Stay tuned for more in the future! :)

Hello again everyone! Didn't plan on buying this set but I found it on sale and I needed a Sabine minifig. (Good reasons I know) You are probably all waiting for summer a wave reviews or some episode VII images but this set has not been reviewed yet. So here is my fourth review: Ezra's Speeder Bike! Name: Ezra's Speeder Bike Theme: Star Wars / Rebels Year: 2015 Pieces: 253 Minifigures: 3 Price: USA 19.99$, ENG 19.99£, CAN 24.99$, EUR 26.99€ Ressources: Brickset Lego store description Front of the box has the 2015 art: A Stormtrooper helmet tagged with a rebel alliance crest. Same as the other sets of the winter wave. On the back we see the play features and a little action scene. Inside the box there is 2 numbered bags, the instruction booklet and the sticker sheet. The instruction booklet has the same image as the box cover but without the set name and the number of pieces. The back of the booklet with the win minifigure. Spare parts. Some studs and some little piece in orange and green. Also we get 2 spare parts that could be used as guns. The completed model: both speeder are exactly the same except for the paint job. Front view Back view Side view The above picture has a bad quality so I added 2 more to show the side (see the next 2 pictures) Top view The front of the speeder can be extended to make it longer longer. Comparison shot: it does make it a little longer (approximately the same length has brick built front wing) Now on to the minifigures. We get 3 of them: Ezra Bridger, Sabine Wren and a Stormtrooper. Sabine is the same version as the one in the Assault Carrier and Era is the same as in the Phantom. The Stormtrooper is the same as every Stormtrooper in Rebels sets (including the BP). All the minifigs have leg printing. The stormtrooper has the normal clone face and Ezra and Sabine both have an alternate face. The printing on Sabine's hair is really neat. It has 2 colors like in the show. Back view: all the minifigures have back printing Rating ------ These three points are not included in final score. Price: 8/10 – 253 pieces for 19.99$ is under the 10 cents per piece ration. We get 2 nice never seen before speeder and 3 minifigure: Ezra, the main hero of Rebels. Sabine which is exclusive to this set (not anymore) and a Stormtrooper (We never have too much of these). There is not many big pieces but also very few small technic piece or studs. So the piece count is not inflated like we see in some other technic heavy sets. The price is great for a Star Wars set! Parts: 7.5/10 – Nice dark green parts which are not that common.Also most of the piece are bricks. Very few technics piece. This set is useful for spare parts. Build 8/10 – The build was surprising! It as 29 steps for 1 speeder bike. It took me longer to build this set then I anticipated because it has so many small steps. The build is well thought and fun. Since both speeder are the same, you have the same build twice. ------ Design 7.5/10 – The speeders look like the source material in the show. The green one is repainted by Ezra and the other Rebels and we see it in an episode (I don't remember which one). The white one is exactly like the Imperial one we see many time in the show. Still the studs shooter on the side don't look very good and are a little flimsy. They are not accurate since the canons are on the front of the speeder in the show. Also the front of the speeder doesn't always extend smoothly. Sometime one side will extend more then the other and the front will fall off. Also It could have come with a little trailer of stolen (or to be stolen) fruits like we saw in the show. Still the speeders are good and were bigger then I expected them to be. It is always nice to add diversity to your collection of speeder bikes! Minifigures: 6.5/10 – We get 3 minifigure. It's a good number for a set this set so no complaints here. We get a Stormtrooper with a clone face. It is always nice to have another trooper, unless you hate the Rebels version. It would have been better to have a pilot for the speeder bike rather then a Stormtrooper to be more show accurate. Ezra is the same as in the Phantom set so it still as the same problem of miscoloration of his hair and suit. (His hair should be blue and his suit darker) He does have is lightsaber this time. If you watch the show you won't find the choice of his hilt to be that bad. Sabine is exclusive to this set. (not anymore: she is available in the assault carrier) Her hair piece and suit are really nice but her skin coloration is wrong. She should have a darker tone like in the show where she is the same colors as a Latina or Polynesian. Also her helmet is not included in this set. The minifigure are a great selection for this set but they each have some little problems that will catch your eyes if you watch the show. Playability: 8.5/10 – Two speeders, one bad guy, one good guy and his 'crush'. Everything a kid needs to have fun. The speeders have studs shooter which are amazing for recreating chases seen in the TV show. Complement this with a few more Stormtroopers and you can occupy your little Jedi for hours! OVERALL 7.5/10 – A nice above average set that really came as a surprise for me as I did not intend to buy it at first. The speeders look like the ones in the show and offer a nice playability with the minifigures. Also it lets you get a helmet-less Sabine and Ezra (with lightsaber) for a low price. The stormtrooper is also nice but it should have been a speeder bike driver instead. A set to pick up to complete your Rebel crew and add to your speeder bike collection. A must if you like the show! Thoughts and critiques welcomes! Also if there is any grammar mistake burning your eyes, please PM me and I will edit. Thanks for reading!

Today, I present the MTV-7 Mini-Rig from the Kenner Star Wars line from the 80's. The MTV-7 Multi-Terrain Vehicle[1] was a wheeled scouting car utilized by the Imperial Army during the prime years of the Galactic Civil War. In addition to the vehicle's basic upright position, the MTV-7's large double wheels,[2] each featuring grooved surface treading,[3] extended outward from the main body to adopt a low, ground-hugging configuration.[2] Such versatility made the MTV-7 adaptable to many environments, and the vehicle was easier to deploy than the Empire's All Terrain Scout Transport walker.[3] Armed with a single rotating laser cannon, the MTV-7 held room for a single pilot in an open-air cockpit—unlike speeder bikes, the MTV-7 did not require a pilot possessed of suicidal tendencies.[3] A forward-facing, grilled headlight was positioned at the front of the vehicle.[2] This is my largest Mini-Rig. The original model had room for one Snowtrooper. I took the idea of it and made in more of a troop carrier for rough terrain. There is room for a driver, 3 troops, and 1 gunner. To get the angles on the wheels, I used click-hinges. But, I did make a smaller version of this model, one that is more in line with original. I wish there were smaller slopes, the sides of the smaller model are so flat. I like them both, even thou, the larger isn't really true to the source material. The larger has 355 pieces in it. The smaller has 130. The lxf is attached and includes both model in it. Jamie 10 - EU - Mini-Rig - MTV-7 - Multi-Terrain Vehicle.lxf

Hi everyone! While being on a trip in Denmark, I've been able to get my hands on the Stormtrooper Sergeant Polybag. It's seems that this one is pretty rare, considering there is none on Bricklink (yet), and only one available on Ebay. How so? This one is, so far, only available in the BR shops...and supposedly "only gave away when you come by dressed as a Stormtrooper". As it is not indicated, you will also have to ask (nicely) to the BR shops staff :) Here are some pictures. Sorry for the quality but I didn't have any proper white background. Nothing interesting on the back of the package, except maybe the reference 5002938 - Item : 6105721 which I forgot to shoot. What do you get? 5 parts + a tissus epaulet (similar to other lego cloaks). Good thing is, the blaster is a classic style one...Less playability, but doesn't look like a pickle pot launcher. Now, let's compare with some other Troopers. Below, you can see the one from the Troop Transport battlepack (blue marks on the helmet), and the one from the Ewoks Village : And here is the one from the polybag : So basically, you get almost the same trooper as in the battlepack, with a classic blaster and an epaulet...But if you look in details, the lines below the eyes are black (instead of grey for the battlepack troopers). Maybe this little detail will get you excited and send you to a new "Find this polybag" quest? If not, then what we complain about? This polybag is available for free, no minimum buy or so :) The only thing that bother me - just a little bit - is that you can't rise the right arm with the blaster in it, thank you epaulet! Maybe that's why troopers can't shoot properly... Anyway, hope you like this left handed little guy! Could be a nice adition to the current Battlepack :)
