Yep - the answer is disappointingly simple! Does the job though.

Just thought I'd share these although there's nothing ground breaking here... put an order in to capes4minifigures.come. Really good prices and a massive range. Camo trenchcoat coat for Han Black shoulder cape, plus Wyldstyle hood. Jedi shoulder capes for newest Qui Gon and Obi Wan and Ben Kenobi Shoulder cape and waist cape in black Graduate robes worn backwards - someone did this on here a while ago - looks great. Finally, I know these aren't minifigures but... hood for Kylo and cape for Greivous.

Just in case anyone was wondering, as sturdy as this build is, it cannot survive being knocked off a 5ft high shelf by a cat. Let the rebuild begin...

Can anyone recommend a seller for a custom Aunt Beru? I remember there being some on eBay a while back but there's nothing now.
-
I'd genuinely say that the build is no less durable than an official set and is surprisingly sturdy for something of this size. The technic framework is absolutely solid. There are certainly a couple of bits that are more likely to fall off (namely the dishes for the knees/hips) but this really isn't an issue. There is also good articulation at the ankles, hips and knees enabling realistic posing, along with 2 points of articulation for the head/neck.

Love use of the older Tarkin head - the pure black eyes like a shark really suit him!

LEGO Star Wars 2017 Pictures and Rumors
Richpepperell replied to Stash2Sixx's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Has anyone seen a set image of the bounty hunter battle pack, not the box. In the photos of the box you can clearly seen the back of the speeder next to it in several photos, but no proper set images. -
31 you say? I can't view his flickr for some reason so not sure where he's sticking them, but I see this as the start of the "how many snow troopers?" challenge!

Do you have a link for your blog? -
I'm actually really pleased with the colour swaps - it looks great next to the AT-ST. I've also had a little tinker with the top deck of the interior to make it easier to load up the snow troopers. There's room for 6 seated troopers, but you can also still fit 6 standing. My favourite touch - the stickered tile from 8129 - "Maximum firepower!" My only problem is, now I've made Blizzard One, I want to make the entire strike force!

Done! That was such an enjoyable experience and worth every minute! Now to build a diorama befitting of such a beautiful beast!

The darker helmet is a good match for Zev Senesca in the Lego TFA game. The other helmet doesn't ring any bells. The arm printing would tie in with the trend of arm printing (from the UCS Boba). I'm thinking they're genuine. I also don't think there's any suggestion all 5 figures would be included - I'm guessing 2 figures of which the image shows multiples. -

Seen an image of the minifigures for the UCS snowspeeler. Arm printing get on the pilots but weird dark helmets. Time to start go ogling to try and identify who they are supposed to be. - -
Just to confirm, the newest Boba from the Desert Skiff doesn't have printed arms.

It's definitely worth picking up next months Lego Star Wars magazine, especially if you haven't got the Kanan's speeder bike set. Not a bad build this month either. Sorry about the picture, I took it in Tescos. -
The LBG 1x3 tile from pages 16 and 36 go on the inside of the legs as far as I could tell. You can see it there later in the instructions. Sorry for the primitive pointer! Some really useful points you made here though - thanks.

Following on from all the chatter around the 'fake' Lando on the 2017 rumors thread, I actually wouldn't mind picking on up. Can anyone recommend a high quality source of custom minifigures? I've had a browse but word of mouth is more important to me. -
I can't believe we haven't had this as an official set, but we are getting a quad jumper. Mind you, if lego follow this pattern, maybe we'll get more rogue one sets next summer.

Anyone got any suggestions for the short minifigure in the arrowhead set? Looks a bit like an Ugnaught but has the yellow flash behind it, suggesting it's a new minifigure. -
I used the same legs from the mad scientist and just used a standard eraser to get rid of the printing. Worked perfectly and you'd never know it had been there. Also used same method on legs from the spooky boy from the same cmf series. The legs are perfect dual molded for the grey imperial officer from the death star (although I haven't actually got it yet!)

Excited for the constraction sets. I wonder how many people (like me) now regret picking up the eclipse fighter just for Dengar now he's showing up in a £12 battlepack. That said, I do love his little speeder bike!
