Phone them. You need the instructions manual because they might ask you for a number printed somewhere on the last page. I once bought the CTT on the aftermarket, and the Aayla Secura torso had a tiny misprint. I phoned them and they sent me a perfect one, no problem.

I'm also waiting for it. As far as I understand, the set could be included in the summer wave, but hasn't been unveiled, yet, because it is an exclusive. I could be wrong, though - in that case, please someone correct me. A release in sept/oct could also be plausible, because that would be shortly before or around the time REBELS season 3 starts. We know nothing substantial, yet, other than that it is an exclusive set, possibly a lackluster one, including Ahsoka - in the latter case as a selling point.

As long as we don't know anything to the contrary, I'd say it'd be much more likely they will make a new mold. The Shaak Ti-mold has the montrals shaped very differently to Ahsoka's, and the lekku are longer than adult Ahsoka's from REBELS. As for using the Clone Wars mold: This would be even more wrong. The montrals are not even remotely pronounced enough, and the lekku way too short. This was used for the teenage Ahsoka. Also, the tiara molded on the Clone Wars head piece is completely different in design to what adult Ahsoka is wearing in REBELS. This is, for the time being, the last chance we get an adult REBELS-version of Ahsoka, and this is the chance for Lego to produce a stunning minifig-version of a beloved character - my single most-anticipated minifig since I came out of my dark ages. If they drop the ball on this, I'd be very, very disappointed. So, unless anyone can actually provide actual evidence in the form of pics, not just prelims, can people please stop bullshitting us with ambiguous, uninformed or ignorant claims as to how this minifig will turn out - that'd be much appreciated.

An adult Ahsoka without a new head piece would be a stupid move. Her lekku are recognizably shorter than Shaak Ti's, and her montrals - the horn-like head extensions - have a significantly different shape: In Shaak Ti's case they curve inward in an s-shape, wheras Ahsoka's curve slightly outwards, which gives her a more badass look. So I'm confident that they'll make a new headpiece, because otherwise this would be a pitchforks-and-torches-worthy disappointment.

I can sympathize with Fluppylodders' sentiment to some extend. I'm also a sucker for correct proportions and angles in a model, but when it comes to LEGO, a clean build that captures the spirit of a vehicle is superior to a super-accurate but clunky build in my opinion. And because I'm cruel, I'll throw another important thing to consider into this discussion: The set you're discussing is representing a depiction of a vehicle in the animated REBELS show. It is easy to miss, I know, but in this animated show - like in the Clone Wars show before - characters and vehicles have a certain, slightly exaggerated style to them. This is done for artistic reasons, and I quite like the art design and modelling in the REBELS show. For example, the characters have slightly bigger eyes, slightly larger heads in proportion to their bodies, and exaggerated statures. Their faces are also a bit more expressive than a real face is. In that vein, the proportions of vehicles can also be slightly exaggerated in order to maintain a consistent style. And it just occured to me that a LEGO minifigure actually is very inaccurate when it comes to proportions and detail, can you believe that? So, if you compare the proportions of this particular TIE Advanced to anything, please do compare it to the vehicle as depicted in the show, not in the movies! Go!

Danke für das Video, Zusammengebaut! I have one question that I have to ask: Does the instruction manual include a page with all minifigures of the Star Wars wave, and if yes, is the REBELS-version of Ahsoka Tano or possibly the Seventh Sister from the REBELS show included? If that's the case, you might not be allowed to post a picture, yet, but a description would be appreciated. I like your videos, and I have a suggestion for improving the visual quality of your videos. As they are now, the lighting is a bit dark and greyish. This might not be due to your lighting scheme, but to your camera settings. Use the white-balance option of your camera - it should be included with any decent-quality camera nowadays. It mostly works like this: Choose the white-balance option in the menu, then focus the camera on the white background you use in your videos, and the camera should automatically adjust the image recorded so that the chosen background appears almost a bright white. At the end of the day, this is just a suggestion - these are your videos after all, and if you prefer them how they are now, that's fine. Keep up the good work.

Sex in STAR WARS? Now that's a topic - maybe the moderators should extract the discussion into its own thread... Let me chime in, though! Regarding Jabba always having an attractive female slave, I'd say that this is not even implicitly overly sexual in nature. I mean, look at a Hutt, and then look at an anthropomorphic female like Oola or Leia - it doesn't even remotely appear like they are biologically and anatomically compatible, if you know what I mean... I guess they have their female slaves more as a sign of their dominance and status. But then, fortunately, STAR WARS isn't as sanitized as the Prequels tried so hard to make it with their portrayal of an overly naive, asexual 'romance' between Anakin and Padmé. In the Clone Wars we learn that Obi Wan once was in love, we see Ahsoka getting the hots for Lux, we get to know a courageous clone deserter who fathered children with a Twi'lek female. In Rebels, it's pretty obvious that Kanaan and Hera have a thing going on, and in the Original Trilogy we have Leia kissing her brother, and then Han, and also: Han shoots first - or isn't he? Gee, I never got why STAR WARS should have been so devoid of romance and sexual attraction, why the Jedi should be completely emotionless and without even a hint of a drive - how do they get through puberty with raging hormones? But fortunately, writers like Filoni show us that the Jedi actually are also creatures of flesh and blood, as exemplified by what they hinted at with Obi Wan and showed us even more explicitly with Ahsoka, and not just those aloof, empty and boring dudes for which they are portrayed in the Prequels. And back to topic: My most wanted character is adult Ahsoka from Rebels, plus I'd like to get a Vader with his helmet and mask slashed open to go with her. The former we will get this year, I recon, the latter propably never...

I have dismantled this MOC and I am currently in the prozess of sorting and organizing my pieces because I want to build a larger version of the GHOST based on building techniques of this MOC and some new techniques I've sketch-built to test stability etc. The build itself will propably take quarter to half a year, and definately feature more interior, and I'll post WIPS and updates exclusively here!

I have a little question, please excuse my ignorance, but I never bothered with this particular issue: Is a "store exclusive" set also available from lego directly, i.e. via lego shop@home or a brick and mortar store? Thanx!

Is the set list we got for this summer's Star Wars wave complete? If I'm not mistaken someone reliable told us we'd get an adult REBELS-version of Ahsoka Tano this year...? Well, if not, I'll get some pitchforks and torches instead.

This is great! BB-8 is so adorble. Say, how many pieces does this build use?

Neat! I like the part with the clip on top of the engine to hold the blaster.

Thanks for posting, goatman461, your minifig-scale Phantom is fabulous, and the display is the icing on the cake. I have disassembled the Gozanti-Class Cruiser, ITT and AT-DP since I'm currently building a Millennium Falcon (Episode VII) at almost minifig-scale, taking a lot of cues from Kit Brickstos great WIP build over at Imperium der Steine (look at Kit Brickstos WIP model here: http://www.imperiumd...m-falcon/page-5 ), and from the Falcon WIP Mike Psiaki posted on his flickr-account quite a while ago, all the while incorporating my own ideas and alternate building techniques especially for the sturdy inner structure (I'm building this from the inside-out) and due to part availability. As for REBELS, I still love the show and I'm sure I'll get to building new stuff once the adult Ahsoka Tano minifig for this subtheme is in my possession. I'd love to try my hand at some scenes and dioramas, and Ahsoka will be a good excuse for doing that.

I'd also like to see an old Luke from The Force Awakens, plus Rey, Poe, Han and Leia in alternate outfits, but I'm sure we will get those in the nearer future. A minifig I'd wanted to see for quite some time now is the adult Rebels version of Ahsoka Tano, and I'm pretty excited about the fact that we will get her this year!

These builds are great, I love them! Made me chuckle on this rainy morning. You need to come up with something for Darth Maul, Darth Vader and the Emperor, because theser things look the most hilarious on the bad guys! Edit: Oh, I see you already made one for Vader, how could I miss that!

I lost touch with the latest rumours, so if my question has already been adressed elsewhere: May apologies and thanks in advance for an answer: Is anything more substantial known or rumoured than a mere wishful thinking about us getting an adult Rebls version of Ahsoka Tano in the near future? I'm really looking forward to a minifig version of that character.

When I first went to see Star Wars Episode 7 on opening night, I've been very sceptical. I've seen Star Wars - The Force Awakens three times now. I love this movie, because right off the bat it delivers what makes Star Wars so great: Likeable and interesting characters, both heroes and villains that are fascinating, and a story that is driven by characters taking action and not endless, boring expositional dialogue. Discounting the Star Wars TV-experience with The Clone Wars and Rebels animated series, both of which feature likeable characters and some well-written stories and arcs, Episode 7 was the first cinema-experience that truly felt like Star Wars since the not yet special-editioned Return of the Jedi. I personally rank Episode 7 at number 3, right after A New Hope and Empire, because it was a lot more character-driven than Return of the Jedi, had banter like Empire and was fast-paced without being annoying. Rey and Kylo Ren are my favorite aspects of the whole movie - both are well-written and the acting delivers greatly. One of my favorite vehicles in the movie is Rey's Speeder. It doesn't have the legacy of a Millenium Falcon, the notoriety of TIE fighters, nor is it an icon like the X-wings, but it is a nicely designed vehicle that perfectly fits Rey as a character. It is like a huge jet-intake and fuel chamber feeding two vertically-mounted jets, and you sit on it like on a powerful bike, not like in a car as with Luke's speeder in a New Hope. I've seen quite a lot of MOCs of this vehicle already, but none of them quite spoke to me, so this was an opportunity to have a go at my own. As anyone who knows my MOCs, while I have build some rather huge and mid-sized Star Wars Vehicles of all varieties, I do have a soft spot for speeders. What I was trying to achieve with this MOC was the narrow sleek shape of Rey's Speeder, the characteristic intake and have Rey in a riding position on it, not in a sitting position. I am quite pleased with the result, and I hope you like it too. As always, constructive criticism and comments are welcome. Now that Episode 7 has rekindled my interest in Lego Star Wars, you can bet more MOCs will come in the near future.

I love these droids! The characters are the most important aspect of Star Wars, or of any good story for that matter. Without cool characters, all the amazing vehicles and spectacle would be empty (literally) and pointless, so I'm always happy if someone brings the characters to life in Lego form, be it through dioramas and scenes, or brick-built versions like yours. I wish you good luck with Lego Ideas, but to be honest, anything Star Wars had been passed over on Ideas irrespective of huge support. I hope, you will be the exception to this rule.

I've already admired this great build elsewhere in the www - lovely model. Examining it closer, I noticed that you took your cues for some elements from the Falcon Mike Psiaki started to build but propably never finished, like the wide flat cylinder-shapes on the top and bottom center of the main hull on which the main guns are mounted, or the build for the elements to both sides of the central axis that lead to the docking rings. I'd have used these, too. I only wished that the equatorial section sandwiched in-between the upper and lower hull plating would be narrower, maybe 3 studs wide instead of the 4 studs you used. That's high-end criticism, though, because your model still is top notch!

First of all, thanks for the nice comments. I'm glad you like these ships. As for decals: I'm a purist and only rarely use stickers even with the official sets, so - no. I'm currently pondering which ship to build next - there are so many interestimg options. Also, I need to order a lot more parts in bley, especially tiles in all shapes and sizes, plus jumper plates and modified SNOT bricks...

After watching James Cameron's documentary on the underwater expedition to the wreck of the battleship Bismarck and a few other documentaries on World War 2 naval warfare, I wanted to build some of the warships of that period with Lego. I decided to build these models in scale to each other and in a size resembling common model kits of such ships - small enough to be a challenge to build with Legos, yet large enough to allow for detail and characteristic shapes and features. Since I never built ships with Legos, I searched the net for examples of World War 2 warships built with Legos at the size I had in mind. My first build, the Bismarck, was at first a reverse-engineered build based completely on the MOC Operation Rheinübung by Locutus 666, which you can find here: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/377978 I especially liked the accuracy of the complex superstructure, which was fun to re-create and taught me a few neat building-techniques for achieving lots of detail at this 'small' scale. When I was done, however, further research into the short but dramatic history of this battleship led me to improve quite a few things. First of all, I wasn't very pleased with the hull, and built a completely new one using SNOT and stacked plates and tiles to achieve a correct shape, size, and the characteristic wooden planks on the armoured main deck. I also changed some details on and added a few more to the superstructure to make it more accurate. For instance, the funnel is much more accurate now. The changes I made which are readily apparent deal with the colouring. I chose to build the model according to the paint job the battleship actually wore during Operation Rheinübung. The Swastika inside the red banner on the bow and stern sections of the main deck have been painted over with grey, as were the black and white stripes on the side of the hull. The Bismarck only retained its white fake waves on the sides of the bow. The masts and radar installations had been painted a very dark grey which almost appeared black. Also, the funnel top was silver throughout the Bismarck's lifetime. The dark red parts resembling the boats are a bit of an artistic choice. The real boats had dark red-brownish elements, yet were mostly a light grey, but in order to make them stand out and not have them look like some other part of the superstructure, I chose to use dark red pieces for them. Here's how my model looks: Since building this model was fun and I'm very pleased with the result, I decided to have a go at another ship, this time of another type and with its construction stopped after the Bismarck was destroyed. It's the german aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin, the first ship of this type in the german Kriegsmarine. The most notable feature of this ship were it's two steam-powered catapults, at the time said to be by far the strongest to be found on any aircraft carrier. Since the real thing was never finished and we will therefore never know how the superstructure and armament would have finally looked, I chose to base my model on detailed drawings by the U.S. naval intelligence from that period. Note that the armoured flight deck would most likely have been covered with wooden planks, but I went for a grey finish with a few markings to indicate the two lifts, the catapults and the rear edge of the flight deck. Here's the model: Last, but not least, I built a smaller support vehicle, namely a 1936B-Type Destroyer. Here it is: What better way to end this post than with a photograph of the whole tiny flotilla? Here it is. As for scale, the Bismarck is almost 46 cm long, and the Graf Zeppelin is 47 cm long. It's quite possible that I will build more ships from that period, maybe the german pocket battleship Graf Spee, or one of the fast battlecruiser of the Scharnhorst-class. The Mighty Hood (HMS Hood) is a great candidate to be turned into a model as well. Wheteher you like or dislike what you see, have suggestions, ideas, or something interesting to add, please comment!

I've not seen the MOC, although I'm very interested, but truth be told, I'm rather fed up with external links. This is a forum for presenting your MOC and tell us something about it, asking for suggestions for improvements etc. Just posting a link accompanied with a one-liner like "Look at this" is a bit rude towards the users of this forum and the forum itself in my opinion. Re-sizing your images so that you can post them here is not much work and the most minimal amount of courtesy to be extended to your audience. Other forum members even put a bit more work into the presentation of their MOCs, and most of us are well willing to help you with advice and even tutorials if you don't know how to best present your photographs. Don't get me wrong - I don't intend to be mean.

Actually, there's a pretty nicely rendered cinematic trailer for a game where we can witness a Jedi blocking a lightsaber with her bare hands, and that character also is available in Lego form!

Honestly, I'd like to see that, too. I've seen attempts on the web which all seem to have been abandoned at an early stage. The GHOST is quite a bit larger than the Millenium Falcon and has significantly more mass, and the Falcon already is a beast in minifig scale. Also, the cockpit and front gunnery bubble will be quite a challenge at a larger scale. My model is quite heavy for it's size, and a GHOST in minifig scale would need to be twice the size and therefore is likely to have more than twice the weight.

Cool - I like the added blue on Sabine's Jump Speeder. I guess I need to get those parts in blue myself, now!
