I've not ordered directly but I know a few people who have and I know Andrew from Minifigures.co.uk made a bulk order which all arrived fine. I ordered my figures from Andrew so I knew it was in the country.

I've seen a chrome C-3PO by customisers but wasn't aware a bootleg version was coming?

Just the Atom figure... Very firmly still in DC territory! ;)

Yeah... Message hasn't come in. I'll try and send one to you so just respond if it works.

Wow. I didn't realise I'd made 700 posts in Community. I realised at some point that posts over there weren't being added but it somehow feels cold to have them all taken off at once. ;)

I'm not sure how it works legally. It actually wouldn't surprise me that a failure to file a suit against a previous company for the same infringement would be something that would hold up. I know in employment that even if you don't sign a contract you can be legally bound by it. If you don't actively raise your objections to any points in that contract but continue to work at the company there is an assumption that you're happy to abide by that contract even if you haven't signed it.

I'm not surprised they've gone after Lepin though. The sheer amount of set cloning they've been doing recently is ridiculous and they've gone firmly for modulars and large expensive sets. Consider one yours along with the ZEA figure.

Not sure what's changed but site is displaying nicely on both Safari and Chrome on my Mac. 10.11.6. For some reason I can post on Safari on my phone and on Chrome (hence this post) but on Safari on my Mac the area to type your reply in just grey with no typeable area. I'll try a restart to see if that helps but besides that It's looking nice and working smoothly. Cleared cache and restarted. Now seems to be OK.

I was perfectly happy until I got a genuine SDCC figure. :)

I happen to have two of those very figures here that are ready to be sold

Firstly thanks to everyone involved in doing this work to the site. I'm sure everyone was used to the old software and as such some immediate changes aren't sitting too well with some. It seems like the time it took to upgrade highlights that it wasn't a smooth process. There a eems to be an issue with Safari as the new site is not displaying on my Mac but is OK with other browsers. Hopefully these are just teething troubles and the next 48hrs or so will see things settle down.

Whoops... forgot about that bit! Well spotted.

I'll just see when all the sets are fully announced what the best way of picking up a spare is. At least with there being another release of the figure it may just be that the aftermarket price drops a little.

You can tell that they know they've ripped it off from somewhere but never bothered to find out what it was!

Hair is standard girl hair but I must have got it from a BAM tower at the Lego store because apparently it's only been released officially on the SDCC Phoenix figure. Head is the old Leia one. Torso is Count Dooku. Hips on this were from Han but I've now switched the legs out for Han's black legs from his TFA figure as I like the holster on the black leg. Cape is a custom from capes4minifigs.

Aren't KF figures just DLP single sale?

I updated mine with this:

Well it was only a matter of time I suppose once they'd started down the rare and expensive sets road...

I've never had a problem accessing the site with an iPhone. It's quite a good experience actually and has always been very stable.

Depending on the split of figures in a CMF box it may be worth splitting a full box between a few of us if it works out mathematically correct.

It was worth it just to get another Bespin guard to change the skin tone of. It's something I liked about the original Kenner figure line so it's nice to do it here. Luke is useful also... I'm probably going to buy another Leia camo cape for him to be an Endor custom and extra Stormtroopers are always nice.

By all accounts EB was never asked to remove anything so you might not be too far off the mark with that...

Makes sense... and thanks for the clarification. I just like to keep track of just how many Bat variants I'm going to have to track down.

I wonder if we can get the FO general figure for a Herr Flick and start a custom Allo Allo minifig set with it. It definitely resembles it. Now to make Yvette.

Same here... I've been close to picking up Dimensions packs before just for the figure but never been compelled to pull the trigger. These on the other hand...
