Clone O'Patra, Thanks for the response. I figured as much. I am fairly certain we'll see a cloud city seeing how popular the first one was, the circulating rumors and the demand amongst AFOLs. Creating a new Fett and a new mold for the Carbonite block further increases the likelihood in my mind that we'll see it. Glad to see you noticed the first post. I figured it kind of got devoured amongst all the fanfare of the ToyFair pics. I figured they were legitimate questions about the most talked about new figure to be released. Didn't think the question was that unreasonable, particularly since people spent pages pontificating how many sides there were to Grievous' cockpit, which to me seems like a waste of posting but that's besides the point. Mike

I couldn't be happier with the Summer lineup but I have one question going through all the pics. TLG spent so much time re-designing Fett's helmet and torso. Why not go the extra couple of steps to put printing on the arms and legs? Or how about the jet pack? Is this something they are planning to do on the Cloud City set to make it more interesting? They did such a great job with the improvements that it's sort of a let-down that they didn't make him better in every way possible. Mike

Hi, I don't post much here. I mainly buy new legos but loved these as a kid. I came across a guy who has a large collection in Europe including a sealed 375 and 383. Both are very nice with a few minor flaws and price seems reasonable. Since I am new to the market/hobby and don't know the seller well, are there any scam artists or scams with this stuff that I should be aware of so I don't throw $2500 away? I'd really like to pick up a mint example of each (sealed) but don't know much about either in terms of how many are known/exist of each in high grade. I know there is no definite way to know exact numbers but figure if other people are interested in this stuff and have been doing it long enough, they may have rough estimates of how many of each remain sealed and in high grade. Thanks in advance Mike

Well genius, saw this at the Lego store today and Vader does fit in there. In fact, he sits up. I use my head lots throughout the course of day. Not sure what you are using.....

I know the vader can fit in the mini tie. Can he sit in there or does he have to lie flat?

Okay, so it looks to be clear (the window on the mini-tie) and I assume vader can fit inside but is it laying flat or can he actually sit up? Thanks Mike

Can anyone tell me whether Vader himself can fit inside the mini tie fighter? Is the window in front clear? If he can fit, is it sitting up or laying flat? Just curious. Mike

Benny, Thanks for the reply. The more I read over his site, I see you are right about that. I guess I can purchase a falcon then figure out what to do with it. The set is predominantly made of grey bricks. I live near a lego store. If I start customizing, will it be easy to obtain extra bricks in that color or are they only specific to the set? Thanks, Mike

I am hoping it is possible. There is a guy in Michigan named Brian. I've come across one of his MOCs but I am not sure how to get in touch with him. I mainly collect vintage Star Wars so I am new to Lego although loved it as a kid. Here's the link to his stuff: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/349 Although maybe this is a strict MOC and not a modification. Mike

Hi, fantastic message board I just stumbled across in the last month or so. I think the UCS Falcon is great but have been hesitant on purchasing it as I was bothered by the fact that there was no interior. I understand it wasn't really possible in order for the ship to maintain its structural integrity but if I bought it, I'd be more inclined to display it than anything else. Has anybody tried to customize this to expand the cockpit and accomodate an interior? I truly look forward to hearing from all of you. Please forgive me if I have posted this in the wrong section. Mike
