Awesome this sounds so great! Thanks a bunch for answering my questions One last quick question: Do you remember which set the guy in white was in? If not no worries These are the troopers I mean

Minifigures: Are there rebel troopers in the classic OT styles? (Ala rebel naval trooper with the big white helmet, rebel commando like the ones on endor) Are the aliens new (such as the ones apart of the rebel team that were recently announced) or are there classic OT aliens as well? (Duros, Bith, Ithorians, etc...) Is there a figure of the white uniformed Imperial Officer? Is Darth Vader or some other sith inquisitor in any of the sets? Vehicles: Is the AT-ST the same as the ones from the OT? Does it look good and better then previous Lego renditions? Sets: What is the mini figure count and distribution? How many and what kind of figures do we get with the AT-ST?

Do it! Get a half smoke. I beg you. Only through me can you achieve a flavor greater then any jedi brand hotdog! Hilarious idea, well done!

Am I the only one a little tired from all these cool exclusives? Honestly why can't these mini figures be put in sets readily available to everyone? Every now and then for things like May the Fourth. I would gladly pay Lego to get these but I don't have a Toys R Us or similar store anywhere near me or that's accessible in any form. Maybe I say this for purely selfish reason I just wish Lego wouldn't make it so darn difficult to get these cool figures. In terms of no SW CMF line can I just say Hasbro can go do certain things because that's ridiculous. I actually completely understand why they would stipulate that but I don't understand why Disney would allow them to dictate such terms. With Disney in charge of the franchise now, Hasbro is lucky to have Star Wars not the other way around. Still these are not decisions made by us mere mortals.

I hope we one day get the hiker's bag in brown, grey, or dark brown. Could be very useful for SW rebel troopers. Maybe Lego is commenting on how their product is making kids more violent?

Probably a lot more, which would be great and bad at the same time. There would be problems with lots of new people coming in who don't know the rules that might make your job more complicated. However unless somebody stumbles into the mafia forum or are a veteran I don't know how much traffic you're going to get as it is, besides those of us who have signed up. It might also bring in a lot of fresh blood to the game that might return to play in other games as well.

The only white legs with printing that work for snow troopers was to use the AT-DP Pilot's legs but that was for the new version. I'm unsure how that would work on the old snow troopers. Y For kama you could buy these Kama Skirts. Light grey appears to be cheaper and I don't think light grey would look bad on the snow troopers.

Technically the dark tan uniforms from the BP were seen on film from Return of the Jedi rebel uniforms, especially General Cracken and others. I only know as I use Craken as an officer for my troops since the uniforms are nearly identical. It's only the regular tan uniformed soldiers that aren't in the films.

TLG...why was this not the May 4th figure?Or in the rebel flagship to give it more unique characters? This is awesome! Does anyone know how it will be available?

I hope he makes the other two as well! Must've been painstaking for sure. I can't help but think of that ridiculous show Jersey Shore every time I hear about Shoretroopers

This issue seems to be a non issue. So what if lego is becoming more violent? If the study pointed out a causation of increased violent tendencies of children who played with Lego, then that's interesting. To say Lego is more violent without the focus being on actual tangible results regarding negative effects on those who play with them, is as useful or relevant as saying the sky is blue. Lego is about imagination and creativity and the violence of play is going to rest within the individual child. To be honest even playing violently with Lego isn't a bad thing it's just imaginary fun i'm a strict adherent of non violence but I like war movies. Anyways John Oliver did a hilarious and dead on segment about something similar to this on [Youtube link].

Maybe the announcement for sign ups could be front paged?

Shore troopers -____- Which ones are they though? Not keen on the name but man I love all the new imperial designs.

When I saw the photos I hated the current Imperial Batttlepack but once I bought one I fell in love. The shocktrooper looks great. Sure the two stormies are battle damaged but at this point beggars cant be choosers. Theyre also good for creating a platoon of more battle hardened looking troopers. Then the Imperial technician is a great addition to any imperial military. In regards to Imperial Officers. I would suggest just buying the new ones even if you can only afford a few at a time. They look fantastic, especially if you get dual molded gray pants with black boots off of bricks and pieces. With the addition of the boots they are the perfect officer figure. Without theyre still far superior to previous versions. Bricklink is your best friend here. I got 8 technicians for about 75 cents a figure. Its a fluke but sometimes after you dig enough you can find fantastic deals. If money is a problem then you should take amassing your army slowly and carefully. Start off with getting maybe two officers and six stormtroopers and branch off from there.

Don't you guys/ladies worry about knockoffs mixing into your standards? I know you can clearly tell the difference between the two by looking for a Lego logo.

How does one go about buying an entire case? and how much does that generally cost?

I was looking at the Final Duel Model on my shelf. Again fantastic set, absolutely love it. However while I was building and as I observe, there are quite a few places where two pieces have been used where one would have been more efficient. Cheese Slopes i'm looking at you. What's annoying is those additional pieces could have been used for other things such as smoothing out edges. I'm sure this has been thoroughly discussed but i've noticed firsthand recently that a lot of sets seem to follow this trend of unnecessary pieces. Is this just lazy or poor design or is there some piece count inflation going on? I am curious if we are going to see this in the summer wave as well?

He could be a Mughal Warrior?

This series looks amazing! The number of dual molded legs are fantastic! See this is how Lego improves the generic figures people generally would rather not get. Give them dual molded legs or arms and some useful printing and suddenly a generic figure becomes a must have. Arctic Explorer has a penguin! We have penguins! Yes! I am irritated though that the huntsman/ranger only has one dual molded arm. Sure it looks good but then if we want to swap parts then we're stuck in an awkward position. Thanks!

Are there pictures now? I can't seem to find any in the thread?

Those are pretty good choices as well, thanks again so much I will sit on it for a bit and decide.

That was according the list we have and what the Nerdyone stated a bit back. It's what has also certainly ruled out a AT-ACT set this wave I mean I could be totally wrong and they do make the most expensive set of this line the Imperial Transport, I personally just don't think that's practical to make an effectively accurate set. I'm sticking to the U-Wing being in that spot.

Thanks I appreciate it

Wow! Wow! That is excellent! One of THE best Millennium Falcon models I have ever seen! The mix of LBGs and LGs as well as other yellowing pieces is brilliant at bringing the junkiness of the ship to life.
