  1. It will be up within the next week.
  2. After their humiliating defeat trying to storm the beach, the remaining members of the Lechuga Squad hired themselves out to Garvy as privateers. They were scouring the seas looking for Bumble Tuna Company ships to sink or capture. Shortly before they found their next victim, a couple of fisherman were having great success. "Here comes another one!" said the first fisherman. "We are having a great day!" answered the second. "Maybe they'll finally let us join one of the big fishing boats instead of just sending us out in this dingy. Wait, what's that on the horizon?" "It's a Garvien warship! What are we going to do?" yelled the first. "Let's flip the boat and then pull it down under the water!" answered the second. "Are you sure that will work?" asked the first. "Yeah! I heard about two guys named Jack and Will who did it. We should have no problems!" said the second. "Uuuurrrr! I'm pulling and the boat is going under the water!" yelled the first. "Maybe we aren't pulling hard enough, keep trying!" said the second. "Look sir!" yelled a Lechuga scout. "Maybe it's part of the Bumble Tuna fleet?" "Do you think anyone's around?" asked a second scout. "Listen!" yelled a third, "I can hear their screams of agony as they drown!" "Those poor souls" said the captain. "Davy Jones is doing our work for us. Let's move along." "I think they're leaving" said the first fisherman. "Thank goodness!" answered the second. "That's the last time we try your idea!" yelled the first. "Hey!" replied the second, "at least we're still alive." "Yeah, but now we don't have any fish, or the fishing pole!" said the first. "Now we'll never get to be a part of the big ship's crew." "Maybe we should join the Sea Rats!" answered the second. "Now that's the first good idea you've had all day" replied the first.
  3. I have one question, who is the Desert King supporting? The Desert Tournament prelude build seems to indicate that he has sided with Raavage, but Osric, who represents the DK, has sided with the Resistance. Which is it?
  4. What a cliff hanger! For clarity sake, can you specific who the indefinite pronouns are referring to? Sometimes it seems to be referring to Mardier, but other times the printers of the KPA.
  5. Manatee F arrived in Chicago-land today! Thanks again CopMike!
  6. Guys, stay on target. Start a PM if you need to.
  7. I might agree with you, expect that they added tubes to the Ep 7 Tie Pilot helmets. If they make Zuckuss I think they'll add tubing.
  8. I noticed that right away too. Though I think the mistake is on the box as the dark bley plate looks out of place.
  9. All CMFs and Pick-a-Minifigure pieces are Chinese. Beyond that I don't know how to tell beyond the obvious quality difference. It's most noticeable in the shade of yellow on the hands to me. Just take a CMF and compare it to a fig from an official set and you'll see how the Chinese figs have a pale-r yellow.
  10. I've found that wonky arms usually result from the type of arm I'm trying to attack to the type of torso. If it's a China based arm into a Denmark based torso, they are loose. But put the same arm back in the original torso and everything's tight again.
  11. Because this is a substantiated rumors forum! Not an opinion or a "I think" forum. Let's all follow Stash's example here.
  12. This thread collects everything you think you know about 2018 LEGO Star Wars sets; discuss your opinions here! Please read before posting: Stay on target. No wish lists. Remember that this topic is for discussing sets that are rumored to come in 2018. If it's something you wish to see or something you think that we will see sometime in the future, but not something that's actually rumored to be a 2018 set, then it is pure speculation and it belongs in the Future Star Wars Sets topic. (We also have a topic for minifigs you want to see, which might be more appropriate.) No fighting. Yes, we actually have to post that! If you post news in this thread, it will not be transferred over to the 2018 News thread. Be smart, think about what you are posting and in what thread you are posting. This IS your warning!

The Jade Piranha Strikes Again! The Parched Pirate Pirate Pet Shop Warped Wood The Captain's Dinner Death Before Dinner Kraken Attacken! FYI: this entry is pro-Mardier. Captain Ralph was a noted soldier in Eslandola's army. He had proved himself time and time again in their skirmishes against Mardier. So it was an easy choice when Eslandola's higher ups needed someone to lead the Lechuga squadron against Mardier's defenses. Leading the forces defending the Mardier line, Sinbad had once again been outfitted with new credentials that placed him at the head of a squad of Corrington soldiers who had opted to fight on behalf of Mardier. Captain Ralph had arranged to have multiple boats land at the same time allowing them to storm the palisade from different directions. He hoped that this would cause confusion for the soldiers on the wall, allowing his Lechuga squad to take out the Corries and bring down this section of wall. However, Sinbad's troops had the high ground and with such an open beach, it was easy for them to get the shots off they needed to slaughter the Eslandolian troops. Brave to the last, Captain Ralph was the first to be cut down. His troops mourned his loss and bravely fought on in his honor, but with no results except their own deaths. OoC: Special thanks to @Stash2Sixx for donating the amazing custom ESL troops and guns to be musket fodder for my MOC!
  15. Right now, there's no way to lay out a black and white rule for what is a rumor and what is speculation. The first is allowed in this topic, the 2nd is frowned upon or not allowed depending on the severity. Talking about official information or well supported rumors is what this thread is for. When the discussion moves down the road of talking about someone's ideas about someone else's theories about a supposed rumor is where we start to get into that no-fly zone. You claim that logic and analysis is being used in the lists being created for what characters could be used for May the 4th, but really it's just wish lists of non-represented characters.
  16. This has officially gone from rumor to speculation. Please stop speculating about the May the 4th promo fig. Wait for more facts.
  17. Thanks! There are a few more on my Flickr if you're interested.

The Jade Piranha Strikes Again! The Parched Pirate Pirate Pet Shop Warped Wood The Captain's Dinner Death Before Dinner FYI: this entry is pro-Mardier. While many Sea Rats had hired their services out to Mardier in their war against Eslandola, the faction as a whole remained swayed by dubloons, not politics. One such crew had been hired by one Sir Blake, an Eslandolian entrepreneur with grand designs for controlling the seas most feared beasts. He had the ship set sail for open waters, many leagues from the nearest island. Sir Blake had studied the effects of music upon animals and was convinced that he could summon and control a fearsome creature from the depths of the ocean the likes of which had only before been seen in nightmares. He began to play the organ and waited while the reverberations sank deep into the sea. After some time of playing he heard the cry go out "Sea beast spotted captain!" He rushed on deck and boasted proudly, "Now we shall watch as the beast attacks Eslandola's foes!" However, his boast was empty. Rather than command this creature, all Sir Blake had done was awaken and anger it. Following the source of the disturbance, the kraken proceeded to destroy the nuisance. Stunned by his failure, all Sir Blake could do was watch in terror as the crew hopeless tried to fight off the beast.
  19. I've found some people that have access to Lego factory extras. I don't think they are supposed to be selling them, but that doesn't stop everyone. Some may also have gotten a lot of 1 part through a LUG. Again, not supposed to re-sell those but those are two options.
  20. I don't mean to discourage you, but that's been available for awhile now.
  21. Guys, this is becoming general opinion discussion instead of rumor/future set discussion. Stay on target!
