I thought that they were being released at the same time. 🤔

OoC:

Since the Palace is based on the end of Mando Season 2, I wonder what the $60 set will be (since it seems that LEGO is avoiding any spoiler content for the first wave of sets). 🤔 Also, now that we have a Quarren mould, I hope that we get a fishing boat set at some point!

@Waterbrick Down: I have some questions about how the Ion Scope works: Since there seems to be a difference between magical and non-magical Obscurement, does this affect the Scope's function, or does it ignore all forms of Obscurement? Can the Scope essentially double as a tool (perhaps via a Weapon check?) to allow a PC to see in an Obscured environment?

Yelana chuckles at Bers' endearing awkwardness, then looks over to the Elf with whom Bers has been speaking. "Mayor Skyreach; I'm Yelana Fennix", she said, extending her hand. "More excitement?" she thought; "Teclion must've had a cover ID to not stand out in such a small town. . . Dammit! Why didn't I ask Ezra about that?" Yelana sighed quietly to herself. OoC:

Yelana waved to Polaris and Bers as they exited the bus, taking a sip from a large insulated cup as she did. "Hey! I see you made some friends on the way in - Oh, and make sure to remind me to bring my own tea next time I'm here; Aluriel's so far into League territory that no one has Crimson Chai. . . But coffee mixed with cocoa actually kinda slaps, so. . . " Yelana shrugged and took another sip, turning her attention to the crowd and attempting to identify the species of the purple-skinned woman. OoC: "Yeah, we're good; just here for the festivities", Yelana said cheerfully. OoC:

I like it! 👍

I completely understand - Seasonal Depression has been kicking my megablocks lately! 😬 This is what I assumed, but it feels weird to have Yelana just zone out for a length of time, since I play her as a very active character. 😕 No worries; take the time that you need to! 🙂👍 In that case, I think that I will just have Yelana meet up with Polaris and Bers once they reach Knothole (Yelana having arrived independently). I was thinking (largely stream-of-consciousness) of ways in which your ideas could be incorporated into a quest, or even made into the basis for one. You are (obviously) free to create whatever narrative you want; I was just throwing out some general ideas. I would advise that you not get too bogged-down in real-world requirements for sainthood. Since the game takes place in a highly fictionalised world, you can make the requirements whatever you want them to be/whatever best fits the story that you are trying to tell. A thought: If you want to go this route, what if the saint in-question was presumed dead during the War (or was actually killed but became an Undead), and their return causes a bit of a schism within their religion. It could be an interesting way to explore how Undead are viewed by various religions (particularly older ones, such as the Sovereign Pantheon, which were formed prior to the Gate Collapse).

Very clever - I would not have thought of that! 👍

In that case:

What about using these in place of the 1x4 plates, then building up from the bottom? You could create a structure that locks this section in-place, despite it not having any stud connections to the rest of the model. Also, what does the rest of the plane look like?

Have you tried using two of these? I have not tested it, but I think that a 2x3 connection would be easier to make here than a 2x4, and the placement of the studs would keep any further assemblies centred.

They might still be available at some Walmarts, though this seems unlikely this long after their release (and subsequent holidays). Barring that, BrickLink is probably your best bet. 😕

I am confused; what do you mean? The information that I am citing Re: armament, size, etc is from Wookieepedia, so it should be accurate. 🤔

I think that this definitely describes Slave I! As you pointed out, it has: Fast, yes, but it is not small - It actually has just over a 21 meter length/height, compared to the LAAT/i's roughly 17.5 meters. We see Slave I doing both - It was very offensive in the asteroid chase in AotC, more of a predator when tracking the Falcon in ESB, and a mix of both on Mando. Also, it is worth noting that the basic Firespray attack/pursuit craft is only lightly-armed, so it seems that Jango and Boba turned a fast prisoner transport into a gunship with their modifications.

I think that this could work well either in a quest, or as the basis for one.

That is not quite true; the interviewer said (unprompted) that Boba's ship had been "stripped of its name" and asked what it could be called now. Temuera said that "we call it" the Firespray Gunship, so it is possible that the ship is still officially named Slave I, but that the production refers to it simply as "the gunship". Alternatively, the ship may get a new official name later in the show, and he was trying to avoid spoiling that fact. Also worth noting is that Slave I has long been a Firespray-class ship, so the most that has been 'changed' is that the ship is now just being referred to by its model name (which presents no canon/continuity issues). As I outline above, this is in no way a change to the ship's name (from what information we currently have). This. 👍👍👍 That is true, but since its interior space (as seen in Mando Season 2) rivals that of the Razor Crest (which was explicitly called a gunship), I am not sure how much of a difference there is between a patrol/attack craft and a gunship (nor whether there is any in-universe overlap between the two types). One possibility is that the Firespray is a gunship with a patrol/attack focus (whereas gunships like the LAAT/i are primarily used as troop-transports).

IMO, it is unlikely that the two unidentified figures are As for the $60 set;

I am OK - I got power back within a few days, and Internet after that. I have just been rather busy over the past week, as well as having some issues with Anxiety! 😬 I would be ready to continue with the quest now, but another storm (with expected outages) is coming over the weekend, so I am not quite sure what to do character-wise. I do not want to hold things up, but having Yelana be effectively absent from the mission (though technically present) does not fit her character. 😕

Yelana suddenly heard a chime in her ear - An incoming message on a frequency only used for emergencies. “Sorry; I need to take this. I’ll meet up with you in Knothole”, Yelana said to her companions. Walking out of the spaceport, she responded; “<Go ahead. . . Shit - Alright, I’m on it. Fennix out.>”

@Kintobor, @Dutch Thriceman, @samurai-turtle: A winter storm knocked out power and internet in my area (and I can only get a very spotty connection on my phone), so I will unfortunately be absent until everything is restored. 🥶

I just Googled "Blacktron under black light" and embedded one of the first images that came up. Transparent Neon colours glow when placed under a blacklight.

Do what?? 🤔

@Waterbrick Down: I concur! 👍 BTW, can we equip our gift items mid-quest?
