That's true. And we've seen more elaborate hoaxes before. I'd be inclined to believe either option at this point (real news or hoax).

Anyone else see the picture on Instagram seeming to show that the $100 Jabba's Palace set has indeed been cancelled/replaced by the Emperor's throne room?

You are welcome to add your own creative take on the kind of buildings or terrain. Planets are big places

There is so much action going on here, I love it! Really creative ways to get different kinds of motion with the rocket, whistling birds, and rope.

All of the talk about troop distribution and company breakdowns is interesting, but off track. And lets not start wishlisting for named clones please.

INTRODUCTION The Mandalorian Season 3 has finished and Lego has started releasing sets based on its content. I ordered this on May 1st during Lego's May the 4th promo period. I got it today, 10 days later. Not too bad for shipping times. And let's be honest, if you were going to get this during May the 4th as like me then you had already made up your mind . So for the rest of you who were still wondering if this set was worth picking up let me share my thoughts. And let me add, I'm in the middle of moving/unpacking so I don't have my Lego or photo area set up yet. So this review is taken on a standard IKEA desk against a pleasant eggshell white painted wall I purchased this set with my own money. All opinions in this review are my own. If you want to see more reviews like this drop a comment and share this review with someone else! SET INFORMATION Number: 75346 Title: Pirate Snub Fighter Theme: Star Wars Released: 2023 Part Count: 282 Box Dimensions: 26.2 x 19.1 x 6.1 cm Weight: 2304 gram Set Price (RRP): £29.99 / $34.99 / 34.99€ Price per Part: 10.5p / 12.3c / 12.3c Links: Brickset, Bricklink THE BOX The front of the box shows the Snub Fighter in an asteroid field. The back shows the ship landed on Nevarro. CONTENTS OF THE BOX Inside are 2 numbered bags and a small sticker sheet. I chose to apply all stickers but those on the cockpit canopy. THE BUILD The build is very standard. A lot of laying plates. An expected amount of SNOT. Nothing fancy. As I was building what's probably meant to be fuel tanks I was struck (not for the first time) by the jarring change from round bricks to the SNOT brackets. With all of the new molds Lego has been making every year I won't be surprised if the make a bracket with rounded edges soon. And the completed build gives you the grey snub fighter and two minifigures. It's a sleek little fighter that looks good from every angle. The only minor exception is when looking at it straight on. Here you can see the gap between the hinged tile and the roof slope. But it's not a huge gap and you can pretend it's part of the greebling. Speaking of greebling, behind the cockpit the set designer added some nice bits. Though I was disappointed that it was the exact same pattern on both the right and left sides. Greebling should have some variety to it. There are two storage compartments hidden in the ship. The first is in front of the control computer. And the second is behind the pilot. The cockpit canopy is a new color, trans-black. And it looks so good! Here it is compared with some actual black parts. This would make for great tinted windows in City vehicles. And overall it just looks very menacing. The figures include a Nikto pilot for the Snub Fighter and Vane, also a Nikto. The pilot is wearing a beehive pattern on a gun-metal torso and Chima-orange pants. His helmet is pearl gold and looks great. Vane is wearing an outfit that could work for a regular pirate and suits him well. However I wish the head-piece for Vane had a more accurate color match-up between his skin tone and the printed skin on top. Seems like another one of those areas Lego is willing to say "good enough" on. But it doesn't seem like it'd be that hard to find what you needed to print on top of the black to get it to match. Both figs use the exact same head. I like that they have ridges printed on the back. But I wish they would have given us two different expressions on the front of the faces. OVERALL At $35 for only 282 pieces and two minifgures this set feels overpriced. It's a solid build, a sleek fighter, and the figs have nice prints. But it feels like a $25 set, $30 if I'm being generous. I highly recommend the set if you can find it on sale. SCORE How do I rate this set?

2 figs and a droid would count.

So I only saw parts from Jan sets. Do you think they'll wait another month before Feb parts are released?

Thanks for mentioning that. Found a few more Friends hair pieces that way that I wanted to order.

A lot of new parts are live in France. But the Blacktron torso is either already sold out or wasn't released yet.

Thanks guys! As you can see from the Public Sheet, the Dark Side needs 29 more points to take M10 and the Mercs need 4 more points to take S10. Great work everyone!

@Grand Admiral Thrawn Just a reminder that you still need to create a post on EB for each of your entries.

This is fantastic! Love how you added Aurebesh letters to your images.

The height limit is 16 studs. There's no cap on the number of minifgures. Entries will be judged as a whole, so both figs and habitat will be part of what gives the score.

As Kallus said, purist just means Lego parts only. No 3rd party elements or decals.

@Professor Thaum Can you update us with where you want your points?

Thanks SATSOK! However, your entry is too big for the Minifig Habitat category. It needs to fit within 16x16x16 for that category.

Happy Star Wars Day everyone! Be sure to check out our contest. You've got about a month left to enter.

That sounds great!

You can share your build whenever and wherever you want. The point of that rule is to make sure it's a build for this contest, not something repurposed from a year ago. If you're lucky and happened to be building something anyway before the contest started, and it fits one of the categories, that's fine too. Just as long as you hadn't posted the finished MOC online before the start of the contest. You're welcome to post your MOC on any social media platform. In fact, that's encouraged. Especially if you mention that you built it for this contest!

Those Dreamzzz dreamlings are the stuff of nightmares. But those sets have amazing potential. I could see it becoming the new biggest hit for Lego, or the new biggest flop. But I'm excited for elements from the previewed sets to show up on B&P

Thanks for checking. It would be possible (though maybe not advantageous) for you to enter that photo for the Nature category. You would have to include notes that the ship is not to be counted toward the entry for the Nature category. Probably better to just build a new MOC

Message received. Let me look through your Flickr account @Crazy bricks

Was able to order 2 Mando sets and get the Death Star Plan promo no problem in France. I didn't remember that the Spider Droid set doesn't come out till August. That's a long wait!

Well, I'd prefer for people to have a chance to build. What if we postpone the contest till after the May the 4th one is over, so till June sometime? Would that work for everyone?
