We are live! Come check out Eurobricks' newest Star Wars RPG: Mysteries. From now till May 1st build for the game for a chance to win a 100EUR Lego set! Highest scoring build wins! Check out the contest here.

Welcome to Star Wars Mysteries! To kick off our Lego role-playing game Eurobricks is hosting a contest. From now through May 1st any MOC you post for Mysteries will get entered into the contest. The MOC with the highest score will win a Lego set up to 100EUR in value! For example, Boba Fett's Throne Room Rules Each person may enter as many times as he/she wants. There is no maximum or minimum size limit. The contest will run from 8th April to 1st May 2022. As long as it's still May 1st somewhere in the world, you can still enter. Entries posted after the deadline will be disqualified from winning the prize. This contest is open to all EB members, even if they joined EB after the contest has begun, with the exception of the Star Wars Mysteries staff, who are not eligible to win. All entries must be new creations, not posted anywhere else prior to being entered in the contest. You may be asked by a staff member to change your entry if it is too similar to an earlier creation. All entries must be built from real LEGO. No clone brands, no third-party custom parts for the main build. Exceptions may be made for minifigures and accessories but must not be excessive in use. Digital entries will be allowed. All digital entries must use only existing pieces in existing colors. All entries must be posted as a new topic in the Mysteries forum. Please follow Mysteries guidelines for posting MOCs including filling out a Submission Form. For this contest a link should be included in this thread to help ensure your entry is counted. You may do a 'full-blown photo edit' with all the text, effects, background compositing, support erasing, and other effects on one picture. All your other pictures may have no editing other than color adjustment or background removal for a solid-color background. For obvious reasons, any photo editing that changes the shape, functionality, or color (not tint or adjustment, but actual color) of a LEGO piece is prohibited. It is also prohibited to use the Lego logo in any picture. All entries are considered final when posted. The winners will be decided by Mysteries Staff voting.

The K-Wing is my favorite SW ship. Love your version. Not sure how I missed it before!

What a great build of an EU ship! Nice, clean angles.

Hi Drag Brick, what kind of photo are you trying to post? Are you on mobile or desktop?

Fantastic scene! You've really captured the atmosphere well. Love your Woodling too.

The galaxy is a big place. Have you ever been to Rorgam? Most people haven't. When you leave Umbara tell your nav-computer to hang a right at Kashyyyk and a left at Pizilis.Go a little ways down the Dauntless Run and you'll end up at Rorgam.  Find out all about Eurobricks' newest Star Wars RPG this Friday! For those who join and build right away you'll have a chance to win up to 100 EUR in Lego prizes. Mysteries is a story driven Lego SW RPG set during the time frame of The Mandalorian. Players choose 1 of 3 teams to join as they seek to assert their influence over the galaxy and solve its mysteries. Each team has access to different parts of the galaxy and different bonuses that can be applied to their member's builds. Freebuilds can be any size and are allowed any anytime. Special challenges happen regularly and will have building requirements and provide bonuses. Episodes happen as teams meet the requirements for each episode.

Get ready for some excitement on the Star Wars forum this Friday...

Resources You can use these logos in your pictures. Logo: Black: White: Once you create your first post for Mysteries you will be awarded a tag that matches your team. Once you've earned 150 XP for your team you will get an upgraded tag. Basic Tags: Upgraded Tags: Leadership Tags: Team Stats Light Side: Controls H16, P6 Dark Side: Controls L10, M10, O17 Mercenaries: Controls K5, T10, S10 Current Rule Addendums Every team has temporary access to the Hydian Way from June 20th until July 31st.

Unless Promobricks has updated their info, what they said was if a Kaminoan was coming it could come in the Obi-Wan starfighter. Pretty sure that rumor has not been confirmed.

The Map Each team has access to different parts of the Star Wars galaxy. We are using skud14's map with his permission. Reference that map or Henry Bernburg's map for questions about specific locations within the galaxy. As you build for your team you will earn XP (Experience Points). Every XP will get placed in a grid on the map. If you build on any planet in M11 (and have access there) including Corellia or Bellassa you will earn points for your team in M11. If you build on Kashyyyk or Trandosha you will earn points for your team in P9. Each team can only build in grids controlled by the team and the ones immediately touching it. You have to build across the map to access new planets and squares. For example, the Light Side controls H16. Any Light Side player can build in a planet located in H15, H17, G16 and I16 as well. The exception are grids that have one of the 5 main hyperspace lanes running through them. If a team controls a grid with a hyperspace lane, they can build on any other grid that lane runs through. For example, if a team controls S3 they can access any grid along the Hydian Way. If another team controls M7 they can also access any grid along the Hydian Way including S3. A team cannot access adjoining grids of a hyperspace lane they have access to unless they control that grid. For example, if a team controls S3 they can also build in S2, S4, R3, and T3. But they cannot build in M6 (which is adjacent to, but not part of, the Hydian Way) unless they also control M7. A team needs 100 points to control a grid. In the case the 2 or more teams have earned XP in a square control is granted to the team that reaches a 100 point milestone first. For example, if the Mercs and the Imps both build in O7 whoever earns 100 XP first will gain control of the square. If the Mercs reach 100 points first, the Imps can take control by earning 200 points before the Mercs do. All 5 Main Hyperspace Routes are viewable here: Judging Every build submitted for Mysteries will get scored by at least 3 judges. The criteria by which your MOCs will be scored is 1) Storytelling, 2) Aesthetics, and 3) Technical Ability. You can earn up to 10 points in each category for a max total of 30 points per entry. Storytelling will be judged by how well your MOC communicates a story. Written dialogue or background can assist with this. But the emphasis will be whether the Legos tell a story by themselves. Aesthetics will be judged by how "good" you MOC looks. Do your colors clash? Have you used textures well? Do the minifigures fit the context? Etc. Technical Ability will be judged by how well you use building techniques. SNOT, NPU, and movement are all elements of this category. People to Know This game is being run as a part of Eurobricks. If you have forum questions you can reach out to any of the Eurobricks' staff for help. @MKJoshA Is the Star Wars Moderator and Game Master for Mysteries. Reach out to him for specific Star Wars or RPG questions. You can also reach out to the current Team Leaders, @Yperio_Bricks, @Professor Thaum or @Jody Meyer.

Other baby heads have been available at different times on the old B&P. There's really no telling if this one will show up though. I hope it does. It's such a great part.

No, it hasn't shown up yet.

I bought it on sale last year. It's a good set. But still overpriced even on sale. Grevious sets have been overpriced as a rule though so I'd say you're right to just bite the bullet and get it now.

Teams There are three teams to choose from, each with their own perks. The Light Side This team is made up of those who call the Jedi allies and friends. The New Republic, CorSec, Rogue Squadron, etc. Within this team there are a number of sub-factions. You can build for any of your teams aligned groups at any time. Each group has a different bonus that can be applied to your builds. When you fill out a submission form for your builds you can choose 1 bonus per entry. If the judges feel your build does not include the bonus chosen we will remove the bonus. The New Republic: Include a senator in your build and get +2 XP CorSec: Include an intelligence agent in your build and get +3 XP Rogue Squadron: Include a one to two man starfighter in your build and get +5 XP The Dark Side This team is made up of those who call the Sith allies and masters. Imperial Remnants, ISB, Sith Cultists, etc. Within this team there are a number of sub-factions. You can build for any of your teams aligned groups at any time. Each group has a different bonus that can be applied to your builds. When you fill out a submission form for your builds you can choose 1 bonus per entry. If the judges feel your build does not include the bonus chosen we will remove the bonus. Imperial Remnants: Include an Imperial officer in your build and get +2 XP ISB: Include an intelligence agent in your build and get +3 XP Sith Cultists: Show a Sith artifact in your build and get +4 XP The Mercenaries This team is made up of those who look to profit from the highest bidder or have other values that don't fit nicely within the doctrines of the Jedi or Sith. Smugglers, Syndicates, Mandalorians, etc. Within this team there are a number of sub-factions. You can build for any of your teams aligned groups at any time. Each group has a different bonus that can be applied to your builds. When you fill out a submission form for your builds you can choose 1 bonus per entry. If the judges feel your build does not include the bonus chosen we will remove the bonus. Mandalorians: Include Beskar in your build and get +2 XP Smugglers: Show the smuggling of something in your build and get +3 XP Syndicates: Show a bounty hunter for hire in your build and get +3 XP Team Details Each team will work together to win challenges, access more parts of the map, and accomplish its own goals. The team is led by the Team Leader. To begin with the leaders are: @Yperio_Bricks for the Light Side @Professor Thaum for the Dark Side @Jody Meyer for the Mercenaries As the game progresses the leadership team will consist of the players with the highest XP. The Faction Leader will be the player with the most XP in his/her team. The Co-Leader will be the player with the 2nd highest score. Those two players may appoint further deputes to assist with leadership decisions and communication as necessary. If Faction Leader is out scored by another player, but is still an active member of the team, they will be allowed to continue to help with team leadership if they so choose. The team with the fewest total XP points may also gain a perk during challenges. Player Details To join a team you must create a sig-fig. Post your sig-fig and introduction in your team's thread. Then fill out a Character Creator form. You do not have to include your sig-fig in every build. You may only choose one team and will not be allowed to switch so choose wisely! Keep in mind that you are allowed to build any kind of aesthetic. So if you join the Light Side you can still build Imperial style MOCs. Each player builds for his/her team. As they build they will earn XP. The sum total of a team's player's XP makes up the team's XP.

There's a lot of negativity regarding TLG's decisions and people's opinions about them right now. For health of the forum and its members let's take a break from talking about the quotes sets and TLG's decisions for making them. Everyone take a breath. Don't post right away. And come back to the discussion at a later point.

Hello all, wanted to poll the audience real quick. Over the years the May the 4th contest has gotten less and less participation. For this year's contest I want to make sure we get better participation. Do you all have any feedback on the contest format? Do you think we should keep it simple with 1-3 categories? Would there be enough interest to run a contest like Summer Joust and Space Jam over on Flickr if we had a prize for every category?

Talking about TLG's business methods in great detail is what is off topic. That conversation thread is no longer about what pieces are available, haul shots, or about the B&P site.

You guys are way off topic. Please take this conversation elsewhere if you want to continue it.

https://www.brickfanatics.com/lego-star-wars-designers-live-theatre-google/ I find it interesting that design team thinks the Vader Meditation Chamber and micro-scale dioramas we're a huge success. So many people here have said they aren't fans. So who are they listening to?

Tell that to arm-printing Vader that was only in 2 sets.

Nice work! If you're looking for ways to improve it I'd say the back section could be wider. Beef it out a little and maybe add some greebling.

I love your TIE Phantom, both the OT and First Order versions! The cockpit shape is perfect. And the greebling is spot on.

Thanks! The bush/tree is a an @Ecclesiastes technique. Yes, and I just got around to posting the 2nd part.
