love these spaceman.... where I get some from? :D

Ohhh got Darth and C-3PO satin black on the way but no clone trooper :O

Hi, is you trans-glitter green two different colours of green? Looks same as mine. The hips and legs are different to each other and same with arms and head. I probs need to get the PC ones as I’ve not got those. Only 1 green available (tad expensive too) and not had many sellers offering them. Got my glitter’s with Darth helmets and sabers!

For me after buying just one I was hooked as they look awesome I have to say! I mean who could resist?!

I think possible by exclusive it may mean they’d only sell to that person who can then sell on regularly but keep buying them maybe. Can’t see it be worth the makers while unless either one person bought say 500 or a colour not even a true Lego colour. Someone knows obviously just maybe not us :/

Hi Capes are not real Lego capes, just reproductions from https://www.capes4minifigs.com/ but I think they just finish the sets off. My designer Lego Frame just now doesn’t have enough space left for the trans-glitter set of 9 and the coral Darth Vader so I’ll likely re-use this frame for my Batman set of 39 and then the clone trooper set is so big now :/ these frames come in 3, 4 & 5 tiers so I’ll have to decide if I get a 5 tier for all of them or 3 tiers for each set. I was also going to collect all the normal Darth Vader and clone troopers and c-3pos to fill the sets but there’s not really enough wall space in my house but these frames help keep the wife happy lol.

Just got the new Darth Vader Colours like orange and blue etc. just love them. I’ve got over 40 colours now including the trans x9 and the satin yellow and blue. Just waiting on the Coral Darth Vader and I’ll take a picture of them all! Oh and also got the x 9 Trans Glitter Darth Vaders on the way so that’ll be about 50! I’ll need a bigger frame! Oh and had to do this as well, someone else did it a week or so ago and loved it so thanks I also got all the new Clone trooper colours so including trans and satin and coral, those will be around 45 in the set. Again I’ll try to take some nicer images of them all.

David isn’t getting them with helmets of sabers :( just plain figures and I know I want them just fancy then paying again and trying to find helmets and sabers grrrrrr. I’ve found someone who’s got a few glitter Darth helmets today but wants too much for them and still doesn’t have all 9! the new plain Darth and clone trooper helmet colours are on their way to me. Almost all new colours like orange, blue, dark turquoise, dark tan, sand green, reddish brown etc for Darth Vader and dark brown, dark green, dark purple and some of the above for clone troopers. I’ve only paid about £20 each for about 6 trans minifigures as well so got some bargains. Standard trans figures are getting harder to find. I need about 3 sets of 9 stands trans figures if anyones got any as some people have them with Thor helmet and hammers and want more money and I only want the figures :( anyways excited for some new items on route. p.s. Darth coral is out as well.

Yeah I am a member of that group on Facebook and just hadn’t looked yet ha ha. I’ve been told about 26 sets of Darth Vader and clone troooers arriving next week but I think they are already released colours but we shall see :) I’ve got 15 sets of 46 monochrome figures to sell when I can be bothered and I think I’ll add the new coral one to make a few 47 sets.

Oh no I neeeeeddddd those! Don’t know who David is though :’( One of my contacts is likely getting those next week, I never thought to ask him if they were new colours or led. At least I hope he gets those :D

Nice! I have the 18 standard ones, 12 full mask ones, glow in the card and satin yellow full mask so where do I get those ha ha :/ I’ve got 38 clone trooper variants and 32 Darth vaders and I’m told there may be a few more Darth ones coming next week!

Yeah I’ve got coral clone troopers, satin yellow Darth vaders m, clone troopers and satin blue clone and Darth on route to me, oh and some glow in the dark variants. Exciting!

I won’t really know until it arrives, it’s just what I was told and obviously once it arrives I’ll know properly. I’d put more images on here but it gives me a limit of 3 forever? Not checked the setting yet but seems weird. I heard or saw a full set of glitter figures but just not seen any to buy. Obvs BL stopped the sales but luckily I have a load of contacts that I’ve previously purchased from otherwise I’d be dying right now! on another note I heard someone mention printed Lego copies and I was thinking a while back that people who have decent pad printing machines could easily get some original Lego parts and print perfect prints of rare or hand to find items?! Obviously not great for some people who’ve paid tons of money for them right now but I need some items for my collection lol?!

Perfect answer! People can collect and love any and all parts of their choosing :) Apparently other than coral, the satin yellow is also arriving next week! Can’t wait! p.s. I also collect all Disney minifigures, all Star Wars set figures from rare and hard to find sets and spacemen so monochromatic is just one love I have!

Well I’ve seen some full coral clone troooers coming out so my plain monochrome sets can go up to 47 and unfortunately I sold my 37 variant set of clone troopers which included the 9 trans variants. I now wish I’d never sold them and I’ve got to try and buy more! luckily I still have 30 Darth Vader set, 22 C-3PO’s and 37 Batman ones to keep me going until I get my clone trooper set back if it ever happens. I do have my glow white and satin blue C-3po, Batman & Darth on the way so can’t wait to get those into my frames. I think I need my frame maker to increase the frames a little :/

So where are the coral legs? :) Ive seen satin blue and glitter figures of late and one lot of dark tan and dark azure Darth Vader helmets but no coral legs :(

I would agree with the Core Factory processes being so efficient and no chance of tampering or getting away with theft or creating your own stuff but I was more getting at the fact the likes of China and/or Mexico have never really conformed to the strict rules and regulations as others and thus its likely could quite easily do this but also I don't think it happens like that. I think its likely there are manual moulds and plastics away from the factory floor to testing and perfecting processes so these processes would likely not have the kind of strict quantity checking and cameras and policing like the production floor. I also think if Lego were saying they were FAKE they would use that wording. The fact they used the word "illegitimate" which just means "not authorized" (this is the dictionary meaning) its them not purging themselves or admitting anything and hoping people will think just FAKE but a company that size if these were fake, they would come out in plain english and say FAKE and also give examples of how things are not possible. Like I say, I've seen many many fake Lego attempts for years and years and then these came out so so perfect in every way, feel, shape, size, markings, colours etc etc and if these are fake then WOW! Also lets not forget it they were fake then at least the ones I have I know all the minifigures themselves are real Lego and only the helmets or masks are the questionable things. I just wonder why up until this point no one has managed to get good copies of Lego and then all of a sudden these appear and are in no way shape or form different from the original lego if checked. I'd go so far as to say someone somewhere knows how to make these moulds and has access to exactly what plastics and colour mixes are required to produce this stuff. Even if these turn out to be fake. I would love them just the same as, as you say in a decent frame they are awesome examples of LEGO. I do also have most other full sets of rare Lego in the same frames like Scooby Doo, Ghostbusters, All Disney, Simpsons sets and my best which is the full Iron Man variants... the list is long! :)

Hi everyone. I've been reading these messages for a long while now on a few forums without commenting as for a while I had some of the same questions so let me give you all some details that I have and some more options for the mix :) So I've purchased all these Darth Vader, Clone Trooper and C-3PO heads/helmets and I must say they are amazing! Truly love them more than most other LEGO. I've been collecting Lego and Minifigures for 20 years and I can't even tell the difference between these new colours and the real thing... they are identical in every way, even perfect colouring! I've attached some of my pictures. Lego now have "Brick Manufacturing" in place like Hungry, Czech Republic and yes MEXICO! Lets be honest if police and government officials can be visibly corrupt in the likes of Mexico, why is it so hard to believe that a few high level or prototyping team members are not in cahoots to ultimately make more money!? Also LEGO have a factory in Jiaxing China ha ha..... There are also moulds that are not computerized as I've heard lots of people say this so these could be getting made in the factory in a dark room away from people and a the factory shop floor. Other options are that someone could have made some moulds themselves as I am sure LEGO themselves don't even the make the moulds or equipment that eventually go in their factories so some engineer somewhere could have made some moulds. I also wondered if you could 3D Print these things with very expensive 3D printers I'm sure it could be possible. But the Recent under the radar announcement from BrickLink (AKA LEGO themselves who own it The LEGO Group acquires BrickLink | Brickset: LEGO set guide and database ) said that they were removing any sales of these Darth/Clone Trooper etc items as they are "NON-PRODUCTION" and are "ILLEGITIMATE" which means they are REAL LEGO but they are not endorsing the making of them. They did not use the words FAKE or anything like that and illegitimate means "NOT AUTHORIZED" :) So these things will likely slow down or disappear so I'm happy I have mine now and they are my favourite sets in my Framed Displays. Happy for everyones thoughts and my opinion is that either China or Mexico (sorry for stereotyping) factories are involved with it all. A few more of my sets here. one more...
