Plus, the F1 2017 rule changes would mean that besides the nose and front wing (which an MOC job can do a superb job of...), other bits like the tires, rear wing and engine cover [MOST especially the one with the sharkfin and extra mid-wing] would be difficult to do accurately...

The Clone and Imperial Shock Troopers both need dual-molded legs as well (White with Red boots.) That would be the torso a regular Imperial Navy Admiral.

Those guys need the updated helmets more than anything else, plus dual-molded legs . One more Imperial trooper minifig in need of updating is the Snowtrooper. His legs are still unprinted compared to the Hoth rebels. (Any suggestions on Imperial Snowtrooper replacement legs?) I have those same parts awaiting an Imperial Scout Trooper. Now to pick up another pair of Monster Scientist arms to make a sniper version... (I have a Brickarms DLT-20A awaiting him, with plans to order 2 more for IG-88.)

Well, there is somewhat of a way... Remember the custom Imperial Officer torso decals? I have thankfully kept a set of Captain (6-square rank insignia) and High Admiral (12-squares; same as the older Piett minifig); but have also made myself proper Grand Admiral and Grand Moff rank insignias should the need arise. More patterns are still WIPs... Well, you're not alone. There was this old thread for Custom Imperial Officer torso decals. If you can find it there are extra decals which involve rank insignias. I've used Microsoft Paint to make myself a Grand Admiral's rank insignia plaque but the only headache comes with finding the right decal paper. The only feasible type of decal paper would be either the 'transclucent' vinyl decal paper of the type they use for waterslide decals. Extra 'parts' from that said thread are included in the attachment.

If the Death Star is getting a new release, then pray and hope TLG use the proper printing for Grand Moff Tarkin from that TIE Advanced vs. A-Wing set. I mean, at least they finally get it right with the 4 code cylinders but they should also use that printing on a dark gray torso. Plus, I see potential of that torso (with a different rank plaque) being used for another key Imp from Rebels; Admiral Konstantine.

I will try making this weapon as well, but with 2 different parts.

Which is why I always look up 3rd party companies for re-arming my Star Wars armies. BrickKIT have done only the DC-15A and the E-11, but Brickarms have done those 2 and the DC-15S.

If you don't mind the €0.99 cost for each weapon, I found a store on Bricklink in Lithuania that has Brickarms weapons including the DC-15A here: https://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=shop4TECHNIC&itemID=72833453 If not them, then BrickKIT: http://brickkit.eu/en/brick-kit-all-elements/7011-brickkit-dc15-black.html might be the option you want to consider...

If they do continue with this lineup, they can consider more LMP cars, GTE cars as well as F1 cars in addition to the existing machines.

I'll pass, due to both the ludicrous price tag, lack of certain elements and the fact that the Imperial Snowtroopers still have no leg printing.

Han Solo's gun is a modified Mauser C96 Broomhandle please. Also spotted some new photos on Will's flickr page, including a T-21 and the T-21B as well as the DH-17.

Besides that, the only minifig that needs updating is the Empire's Snowtrooper. I find the lack of the lack of leg printing and lack of proper backpack, to be most displeasing. Those aside, when will TLG give us a Republic Army Galactic Marine?

In my opinion, they can still pick the Sullust option for both BP's.

There is one key problem and that is the mouthpiece of the Scout Trooper helmet. The top half is OK, but it's the front and the portion of the helmet beneath that sun visor that needs to be taken care of. Also, the OT Scout Troopers need more ideal arms, and for me the arms from the Monster Scientist will do just nicely.

While I'm in a good Republic, Imperial/FO mood. Just watched Ep. VII yesterday, and now I do have an excuse for getting armored troops...
