Wait... One of the lead SW LEGO designers was banned from Eurobricks?

Bought 70618: Desiny's Bounty yesterday our local Barnes and Noble (since we have a Membership for 10% off). It's a shame they can't figure out a better way to secure the sets than the silly tight cords around them because the box was in horrific shape. Thankfully, I was able to negotiate an additional 15% off the price because of it. Oddly enough, they had the Ninjago CMFs out on the floor. Usually, these are kept behind the registers. So, I was able to pick out the Sushi Chef with no problems. When assembling him I found that the articulation of his parts much looser than I've experienced with other CMFs or minifigures packaged in sets normally...

I'm a big fan of Imperial Star Destroyers and this MOC is simply AMAZING! You really outdid yourself with all of the details. The interiors are very well done. There's no way an official set will ever come close to this. Bravo!

Looks normal to me: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?M=sw187#T=S&O={} https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?M=sw427#T=S&O={}

Excellent. Thanks for the response! I've never used them but might try them myself soon. Cheers!

Hi @Cody Startale, How do you apply the decals? Do you use Waterslide Decal Paper? The Boba Fett arm decal on your site looks great!

I know we're getting what looks to be an Imperial General in 75184 : Star Wars Advent Calendar later this year. But I would love to see more Imperial Officers, like an Imperial Navy Commander: ...or an Imperial Lieutenant (with an outfit like the one Cassian Andor wears in Rogue One):

Your guess is as good as mine. But feel free to check out my entry in the LIBRARY: Pirate Torso/Decal/Sticker Designs thread. I don't remember why I chose the colors I used back then, but one is RGB 250,166,30 and the other is RGB 227,175,72.

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Braha'tok-class_gunship It was first seen in ROTJ. Pablo Hildago talked about it recently (in January) about it in more detail:

Good eye. One of the reasons I'm so happy the movie is out there is so that people can start picking the scenes apart frame-by-frame for characters, droids, ships, etc.

Y-Wing all the way! Great figures and a very cool ship from the OT and RO. What's not to like?

It looks to be this part, which was introduced last year.

Yes. You also earn VIP points on purchases with gift cards.

This looks terrific. Great job!.

I'm so confused by TLG some times. Why make an officer with this rank when there are sooo many lower ranking officer uniforms that aren't represented. If they were going to make a new print for an officer, why not make the Imperial uniform Cassian Andor wore or even one of the many other Lieutenants from Rogue One?

It looks like that's an MOC: http://bricksetforum.com/discussion/16099/lego-fight-against-chinese-counterfeit-lego/p47

Just a note: I received two copies of the Quest for the Kyber Saber from amazon.com and the Death Star Trooper torso is scratched/nicked/marked in both cases - one on the front and one on the back. I've sent a request to Scholastic to see if they'll help resolve this.

Is it just me or is the pilot in the new 75172: Y-wing Starfighter exactly the same as the pilot from the 75155: Rebel U-wing Fighter set - including the helmet? You'd think they could come up with something to differentiate the two...

I've given the a shot at modelling 75172: Y-wing Starfighter in LDD: Here's the LXF File. Obviously, there are some issues - including: missing Moroff head/torso piece and backpack stickers and decorations are different/missing had trouble aligning some parts, so several of the Connector Peg W. Knob parts in the engine nacelles are in backwards in order to accommodate the Stick Ø 3.2 W. Holder pieces. I cannot upload this info to the Official LEGO Sets made in LDD topic since the instructions haven't been officially released by The LEGO Group. So, I'm posting this info here in case anyone is interested. Cheers!

Right! Albeit with the newer hat, but still...Frustrating.

...and the figure from 75163 - Krennic's Imperial Shuttle isn't an officer either... It looks like I'll have to BrickLink one (or both) of the officers from the 75159 - Death Star set after all. Ouch!

I'm kind of bummed that the 75172 - Y-Wing Starfighter doesn't come with an Imperial Officer after all...
