Yeah me too :( Send them an e-mail, got the standard reply saying that they're still working on it. I remember that when I used to be 10 I got free goodies when I pointed these things out xD

Indeed, I can confirm, the box does not include a skirt sadly Neither does the rebel trooper include a backpack... Minor issues, minor issues. They won't stand out all too much in your pack... and else just make your Snowtrooper commander not have a skirt as if like it's supposed to be, at least that's what I'm doing

Thanks for the reply SodorBricks :) that's a bit what I had in mind too ;) So, a bit like the regular pattern seems, the prices have gone up again after this slight sale, now they sell for €84,99 and €99,99 respectively, after about 2 days of the drop. I guess I'll see what they'll do next BTW: I hope my topic title didn't sound confusing - someone might have thought I was going to rob an Amazon warehouse??

All my old lightsaber hilts have degraded like that too. The new ones, however, are fine ;) . I guess just the young me used to click the lightsabers a lot of times in minifig's hands, causing stress on the chrome and wearing it off. I think it's too early to draw the conclusion that Lego won't make any chrome minifigs anymore. It's quite sure not any of them will appear in normal sets - they are more expensive to make and are less resistant to frequent child play and scratching in big boxes of pieces. The recent metallic shades provide a good cheap & durable alternative. But in polybags, I think chrome minifigs are still possible, not really enough years have passed to completely rule out the possibility of chrome minifigs in polybags, after all, there have been just 3 of these instances in the past, with 2 and 3 years between those, and most released on very special occasions. Last point, there aren't a whole lot of minifigs that can be done in chrome, making it unpossible to do one every year. To my knowledge, only a chrome C-3PO (which is agreed, highly overdue), black chrome Darth Vader, TC-14/E-3PO/U-3PO (which are all the same for TLG's views) and maybe even an R2-D2 with chrome dome and Anakin with chrome gold hand (which would be a bit lame, honestly) are possible.

I've got to say, I really like this year's advent calendar from star wars, it has beautifull minifigs and great mini models, which are composed of a very good part selection! Next to that, there's even no "weapon racks" at all xD I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in Lego Star Wars

Post your general LEGO Star Wars questions here
TWP replied to XimenaPaulina's topic in LEGO Star Wars
I assume you saw that lot at marktplaats? To answer your question, I think it does, but not sure. The dimensions of the big box is exactly big enough for the two boxes to fit inside it, sparing some space for the cardboard (see bricklink) -
Hello, I was wondering what was the best time to buy Lego products on Amazon (EU). I'm looking to buy Star Wars 75150 Darth Vader's Tie Advanced vs A-Wing Starfighter and 75151 Clone Turbo Tank and preferably as cheap as possible. Right now they are the cheapest in Germany, and I have an adress in Germany to ship to (I live in the Netherlands). Usually they are cheapest in Germany and cost €78,99 and €98,99 respectively. Right now they are €76,49 and €93,49 but I wonder if the price will drop anymore in the near future, as I know 75150 had been €63 previously. Are there any times of the year in which most Lego (Star Wars) usually drop price? Or is it inpredicatable? Thanks, hope to get some advice from experienced Amazon buyers :) ~TWP

Found a new list of sets: 75144 UCS Snowspeeder – No Minifigures 75160 U-Wing Fighter (Microfighter) – Rebel Pilot Minifigure 75161 TIE Striker (Microfighter) – Tie Pilot Minifigure 75162 Y-Wing Fighter (Microfighter) – Rebel Pilot Minifigure 75163 Krennic’s Imperial Shuttle (Microfighter) – Imperial Officer Minifigure 75164 Rebel Battle Pack – Rebel Minifigures? 75165 Imperial Battle Pack – Storm Trooper X2 and Death Trooper Minifigures 75168 Yoda’s Jedi Starfighter – R2-D2 and Yoda Minifigures 75169 Landspeeder – Luke, Obi-Wan. c-3po and Tusken Raider Minifigures 75170 Phantom Mark II – C1-10P, Kanan Jarrus (blind) and Grand Admiral Thrawn Minifigures 75171 Bunker Battle – Cassian Andor, Good Guy, Shoretrooper X2 Minifigures 75172 Y-Wing Starfighter – Pilot X2, White Wookie, Astromech Droid and Imperial Officer Minifigures 75173 Duel of the Fates – Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth maul Minifigures 75174 Desert Skiff – Han Solo, Chewbacca, Boba Fett and Weequay Minifigures 75179 ROTJ Rebel Hanger? – Lando Calrissian, Rebel Pilot and Crewman Minifigures Rogue One Buildable Figures (January) 75523 Shore Trooper – ? Minifigures 75524 Chirrut Imwe – ? Minifigures 75525 Baze Malbus – ? Minifigures I assume the buildable figures won't have any minifigs. Quite excited that there will be an imperial officer in such a cheap set as a microfighter! The Rebel Hangar seems a new set, but might as well be a bit of speculation. I assume that of the rebel pilots in the microfighters, one will be the blue, U-wing style and one a regular orange one. source: http://minifigpriceguide.com/wordpress/complete-compiled-list-of-all-2017-lego-set-rumors-that-are-coming/ No idea what the source of this site is, but it also seems Eurobricks, though some of the sets have not appeared in this topic yet.
-
Oh really? I thought it would have been TC-14... but that's great, as I can now use both as separate minifigs
-
Looking forward to see this finished! What are all the hatches for? Will they function and have some sort of storage compartiment behind them? Or are they just for accuracy?
-
I just hope they'll giveaway the A-wing Fighter Pilot polybag from Rebels instead, it's such a nice figure Or anyone else know of a way to obtain it without buying it from expensive resellers? :/
-
Well other then the X-wing and Tie Fighter (these have been previously released, a lot of different X-wings and Ties on the market) the most iconic ship that appears in Rogue One I can think of is an Imperial Star Destroyer... but I also doubt that will make it into another set... I'd be quite suprised with either of these 3 sets to be honest.
-
Hmm, that's a very creative way to make pictures, I may steal that technique from you if you don't mind
-
With closed wings it seems a very good representation of the ship, but the wings on your MOC don't fully open Though I may agree that will be quite hard to achieve at this scale...
-
Yeah those two minifigs are worth more on the aftermarket, but not a lot more for Lego to produce
-
Why you have to be so cryptic CM4Sci xD And any news on their accompanying minifigs?
-
That's actually a very nice Separist shuttle you've got there!

TWP replied to XimenaPaulina's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Well, we haven't seen the movie yet... maybe the TIE and AT-ST won't appear at all, Krennic's shuttle get limited screentime and the U-wing have a big design flaw in Lego I kinda hope so as that will get us some nice discounts -
Aaah, of course, thanks. I wonder if they will use the exact design they use for the Ties
-
Thanks, but which new 6x6 round copy? you have a BL link? :D
-
Okay, thanks zux & artanis, seller had not replied to another e-mail, so issued the NRS And indeed, seller hasn't logged in since July 30th...

There's a few things that make it almost impossible to make any set minifigure scale, being: - Minifig scale to width, lenght, or head size e.g. - Minifig scale in height including helmet/hair or without - then again this is different for all minifigs, as not every fig has the same height (with gear) and also the characters from Star Wars don't have a set height. - The actual canon lenght of vehicles is sometimes not set, and subject for change. The lenght of the falcon has changed a few times over the years, for example. In conclusion, there's no way to have something really be minifig scale, something will also be about right, so I wouldn't focus on trying to have the dimensions of your Lego creations right, rather the proportions, sometimes even make it a few studs longer if that will make it look better in the end Some weeks ago I tried to do some rough comparisons of sets to minifigs with length data used from wookieepedia, and a lot is actually pretty close! Examples include: X-wing, Y-wing, A-wings, Ties, Snowspeeders, Droid fighters (except droid tri-fighter, that one is barely 3 minifigs in universe), Jedi starfighters I & II, Republic Gunship, AT-TE, AAT

I have an order made a month ago, but the seller still hasn't replied to me regarding the order, not even after i send him an extra email. I don't know what to do as I don't want to lose the offer and it was a very good deal, also the seller has good enough feedback, so I have no idea what happened. Anything having good advice for what to do?
-
It looks as if this crappy part is used for the weels of the Turbo Tank... Well at least it fits a bit Other than that, i like the Tie & A-wing set, but i'm with everyone there. Wish the A-wing is grey though. Like to see a pick of Rex' AT-TE, although i will probalbly not buy it. BTW, anyone willing to explain why all Rebels' Imperial Officers are dark tan? Does that mean they will be like that in normal OT sets too?
