Does anyone know what color the 'tooth' piece from Dengar's backpack is? Some pictures make it look dark bluish gray, which others some pearl gray color?

I read on Bricklink that starting Jan 1 all LEGO magnet sets will be glued. The figures pieces will be glued, and they will be glued to the brick. This is great news for me, a re-seller. Not so great for the rest of you. Has anyone else heard the same thing?

I was told by 'an inside sourse' a year ago that LEGO wouldn't release any first generation figs in a magnet magnet set. Then, as mentioned above, they released Captain Jag, Barriss, Ackbar, etc. As a retailer it makes it difficult to know what figs to stock up on. Those 800 Ackbars I bought are not worth quite as much as I had hoped now....

At the beginning of this thread there are links for pictures. The Flickr link is broken and the Eurobricks link is empty. Do we have any pics yet?

Well, I am one of those minifig sellers. I sold over 10,000 minifigs on eBay last year. I am not sure why people think we are rip off artists or such. We provide a product and service, that is all. Demand justifies the price, as well as the risk involved. We need to fork out the money to buy the sets from Lego, and are often stuck with leftover ships or pieces that there is not much demand for. Anyways, I don't mind if Lego decides to start selling some figures this way. It is annoying if you stock up on a figure, and then Lego releases it in a magnet set for cheaper than your cost, but that is life. Overall, I think it will help my minifig business, and will actually hurt Lego's sales. I am not sure that many people will buy the new Dooku ship now that he is available in the magnet set....
