Where the heck is the spoiler in my post? Pretty obvious that since Kylo has a red light saber he would be a bad guy or at the very least a Sith. Don't be an megablocks

Yeah. In that pic you can even see the street lights in the back ground. Also, I'm pretty sure Kylo should have orange eyes in the movie if he is unmasked.

If you watch ANH, there is a white officer in the scene where Darth Vader chokes that one dude. In TCW cartoon he was there as his younger self and he was in charge of Anakins fleet

Guys can we tone it down on the spoilers? I know none of the stuff said here is massive, but just assume that no-one here wants to know anything about the film. At least use spoiler tags.

That is odd. I wonder if will come back up. I was told the set wasnt being retired for a while.

All Im saying is I was told by a LEGO employee that the set wouldnt be cancelled "just quite yet". Take that for what you will. While I do agree it's odd wording, he did straight up say they would be producing more after the sale, so I wouldn't worry about this being the last batch. I never asked anything about if the set would be cancelled for the end of the year or not.

Maybe, yeah.

Yeah I am assuming they cant tell you when sets will be retired for whatever reason. I would also assume that it is probably retiring at the end of the year, but that wasnt my worry. My worry was that the sale would be selling the last of their back stock, which now appears not to be the case as they are producing more. EDIT: What was misleading about it. Pretty much explains itself if you ask me.

Have some good news from LEGO. I really wasn't expecting a reply that fast. "Dear Sam, Thanks for getting in touch with us. We're glad you are interested in the amazing LEGO® 10188 - Death Star™! I can confirm that the limited availability only concerns the set at its current discounted price. Once the promotion is over, in case the set goes out of stock in the next few days, you can rest assured that it will become available again in no time as we do not have plans to discontinue this set quite yet!"

I fail to see how it's "ripping off"

Yeah I am a bit worried. In your past experience when do sets normally get retired? Seems strange that none of the other sets would have this message too. I just sent an email to LEGO so I probably wont get a response until a few days. Also just how valid are the rumours that there will be a new Death Star in 2016?

No. I was about to order mine and they still showed up in my basket. (Not a VIP member.) EDIT: So I heard The Death Star is retiring. Anyone know exactly when we are talking here. End of this year, or even month? I really wanted a chance to get this set. Had it in my old collection and it was probably the thing I miss the most from it.

Sweet! Thanks for that!

Hi everyone. I sort of expect this to be a bit of a slow moving thread because the vast majority of SW minifigs are now " updated" with more printing and especially the white pupils. However there are a few out there that still need a new version made to fully integrate them into the rest of the newer mini fig line up. This thread is basically ideas on how to update old mini-figs of characters (or even ones that haven't been created yet) into new looking ones with parts that already exist in LEGO. Here are some examples So yeah, that's basically the gist of it, if anyone is confused. (And if anyone does have some picture references for my Tarkin idea, it would be much appreciated) Thanks!

Hey guys, anyone got any proof that the sale will be ending on may the 9th. Ideally I want to wait until payday, but if it's ending on May 4th I cant do that. Just with a quick skim on the Lego Shop Website, I couldnt find anything about when the sale will end.

Hey guys, Anyone know if the Micro-Fighter series is still going. Only just come back into collecting, but one thing I noticed that is a thing, that wasn't when I used to buy SW Lego are the the Micro-Fighters. Just wondered if there are any plans to continue them in 2016 and how frequently do they come out? Once a year or twice?

Yeah I kind of guessed.

I seriously hope Slave 1 gets discounted

Hey guys. I have only recently come back to collecting Lego Starwars and just wondering how long these May the 4th exclusives last for. Is it just the day?

Really hoping we get a UCS Millenium Falcon for Ep VII. Would make sense and it would go with Slave 1 as well.

I really recommend raising his gear box to Kopakas height(a notch below Lewas) and adding a couple of y joints onto the open ball joints. Looks a lot broader and strong then

I think it fist for G1 though I don't like the fact the Turaga control it. Doesn't make too much sense IMO. Were Matoran still being made on Mata Nui, because I always like the survival feel of that island.

I wasnt really referring to the themes, just more so the general concept of having a team of villain characters and just using examples.

I soooo hope we get some character villain teams like the Barraki or the Piraka

Just looking at these, Im actually starting to really like them. I have already got their characters planned out in my head (I never normally like the idea of horde villains, so eack set is normally a character in my eyes) Much love for Skull Grinder. Definitely one of the best ones. Looks really imposing. I would have loved trans red instead of orange, but alas. Skull Warrior may be my favorite. The Skeletal vibe really comes out in this set. Love that compiler skeletal arm he has going on. Needs a mask swap with Grinder though, me thinks. Skull Basher is very nice. Nothing too special but I still really like him Skull Slicer Im not a massive fan of. Might tweak it a little. The slender feel is okay as I will make her a girl anyway, so aside from adding a bit of amour she is okay. As for Skull Scorpio... eh. Not a really fan of non humanoid sets(or at animal shaped sets). Makes them harder to pose with the group but he is okay. I think I will be making his tale more CCBS like though. Either way, they are pretty good. P.S: I am LOVING the new bone and add-on piece right now.
