But there's still a big difference between Ezra's blue eyes in the Ahsoka show and the blue eyes of the leaked Lego minifig. The minfig looks like he stared into the sun for much too long.

Thank you I think they simply welded the lattice onto the platform

Do we know any 1970s primary source that confirms this narrative? Or was this narrative only applied retrospectively? I really would like to know this. Maybe someone has scanned articles or documents from the 1970s?

I love Ezra's torso and legs! In my case they will also be useful for a pirat

I wonder which of the gold colors they will use? Hope it's drum lacquer gold ink or whatever it is called.

Yes, of course i have read all of that.

Here's an other story: When Lego bought molding machines in the UK in 1947 they were presented Kiddicraft bricks and probably documents by the manufacturer of said machines. Only god knows what they took with them back to Denmark. Surely it is a just a coincidence that the Lego bricks share the exact size with the Kiddicraft bricks. And it is just a coincidence that the Lego brick is in scale with a British standard brick (used to build real houses). Oh and Kiddicraft had bigger bricks too. The size Duplo uses.... another coincidence. Lego writes that they contacted Kiddicraft in the late 50s. Probably after Hilary Page's suicide in 1957 because of financial and business struggles. His wife and daughters later stated that he did not know about Lego bricks. I guess we will never find out what exactly happened in the 1940s and 1950s

I too only buy Lego. That being said, do you know the story how lego came to the brick? Surely you will also call that 'stealing' right?

Thanks a lot you guys Much appreciated!

I for one prefer the pristine uniform as it is more versatile and can be used for other characters and also Thrawn in other scenarios than Peridea.

Letter from a lawyer eh?! That's how it all started few years ago

The minifig looks so good! The eyes though.... we already talked about it See dm.

Since the Great Brick War we have AFOLs and AFOBs in Germany

Just to put this into perspective, you are a reseller yourself, aren't you?

Thrawn looks great. No worn out uniform visible right? Really looking forward to the Peridea set!

So this very torso somehow does not have the restrictions of other LOTR torsos. It's at PAB and in the Harry Potter set. I really would like to know how this is possible?!?

For me its about the design and aesthetics of the minifigures and in my opinion licensed themes are way ahead of unlicensed themes. vs And licensed pieces rarely show up at PAB. Every now and then, with a little bit of luck we get pieces like Pippin's torso:

I see, thanks! I was just hoping there's maybe one or two more playsets where we only know the set number yet

That's a nice garage! It really has this 1950s small town feeling to it. I like that very much! I also like how you build the front of the truck Looking forward to see the garage build in real life.

Are there any set numbers left where we don't know what is behind that number?

Like i said in the other thread, that pirate looks great! I also like the foliage in the background. Looking forward to learn more about (that version of) Steve in the future!

I saw your picture. Now if you copy the link https://imgur.com/a/hYFgt7x, it does not work in the forum, but if you click with the right mouse button on the imgur picture and select to 'copy image address', you can paste it into your forum post. Good looking pirate! The dual-molded boots work well together with the torso

No, you don't need an account to use imgur.

Sure, you don't have to use flickr! Basically you can upload the pictures anywhere. Use a image hosting site like imgur or any other site where you can host your pictures. Then add the link to the image address to your EB forum post and the picture should be shown automatically.

I know some people react allergic when other companies are mentioned or, god forbid, pictures are shown, so i am not gonna do that. But please allow me say that other companies sell battlepack of history themed minifigures. Imagine a Lego battlepack with 8 knights, soldiers, pirates or even civilians [sic!] minifigures with lots of accessories for 12€ Just saw a video from even an other company that announced knights and orcs battlepacks. Aliexpress is full of history themed minifigures, etc.... But Lego wants to sell 450€ sets with a luxury good profit and i hate the company for this. I can only hope Lego will prove me wrong and we see some battlepacks next year!
