  1. Gideon 1 point Louis of Nutwood 1 point Captain Flint 1 point
  2. I was wondering that too. Have they ever used that technique in an official Lego set before?
  3. I don't care what Disney says. Anything written by Zahn should be canon Sure, Disney doesn't consider it canon. But Zahn has said he sees people being able to watch Rebels and read his newer Thrawn books and move right into Heir to the Empire. Nothing he's produced has contradicted what's in the Heir trilogy and beyond. Ahsoka could be what finally begins to contradict it, but I hope Zahn has enough sway over the arc of his characters that it doesn't.
  4. I just hope they don't overwrite anything from the Heir To the Empire trilogy. One of the best pieces of Star Wars literature. They're clearly aware of Thrawn's heritage as they even used the phrase "heir to the empire" in the trailer.
  5. Careful, all 30 of those are active members of this thread We have a lot of different countries and cultures represented on EB. So please keep in mind that some people see certain comments as "arguing" and others see them as "stating opinion." A good set of rules for everyone on the forum is 1) Don't Take Offense and 2) Give People The Benefit of the Doubt. In my opinion, on this forum it's only arguing if people start to get upset. Otherwise we're just sharing strongly held opinions.
  6. Currently no updates. Dark Side is halfway to taking M10. And The Mercs are 3/4 of the way to taking S10. And everyone can see this data on the Public Sheet
  7. Everyone is welcome to join the May the 4th contest and also post your builds here for Mysteries.
  8. Maybe you're excited about the new X-Wing. Maybe you're hyped by the newest Mandalorian episode. Or maybe you're marking the days off your calendar waiting for May the 4th to arrive. No matter your reason, it's a great time to build Star Wars! Come check out this year's May the 4th contest and build for your chance to win the new UCS X-Wing!
  9. May the 4th be with you. Welcome to Eurobrick's annual Star Wars contest! There are many ways to participate, and lots of ways to win! Yes, we're starting the contest a little early this year. But it goes through May 4th so that's all that counts, right!?! General Rules The contest runs April 5th through June 5th. As long as it's still June 5th somewhere in the world, you can still enter. All entries must be new builds not shown online or publicly before April 4th, 2023. Only official LEGO elements should be used. Avoid third party parts or clone bricks. Digital entries will be allowed. All digital entries must use only existing pieces in existing colors. Entries may be updated as long as the contest is still open. All entries must be posted as a new topic in the Watto’s Junkyard forum with the title prefixed by, "[M4-23 - category] - entry name". (For example, "[M4-23 - 12x12 Vignette] – Sarlacc Pit".) You may do a 'full-blown photo edit' with all the text, effects, background compositing, support erasing, and other effects on one picture. All your other pictures may have no editing other than color adjustment or background removal for a solid-color background. For obvious reasons, any photo editing that changes the shape, functionality, or color (not tint or adjustment, but actual color) of a LEGO piece is prohibited. It is also prohibited to use the Lego logo in any picture. The only size restrictions are the Minifigure Habitat and the Nature is After You categories. The other 2 categories can be any size or scale. As this is a Star Wars contest all entries need to be Star Wars related. A link should be included in this thread to ensure your entry is counted. This contest is open to all EB members, even if they joined EB after the contest has begun, with the exception of the Star Wars staff, who are not eligible to win prizes. Each contestant can only win 1 category prize and 1 individual prize, if multiple categories are won by the same contestant, he/she chooses which prize to receive and the other prizes will be awarded to the runner ups. You can use this stamp on your photos if you'd like: Judging Method There will be a team judges who will score builds based on the following criteria: Category: Pass/Fail Does your build fit the category? Majority vote of the judges decides pass/fail if the vote isn't unanimous. Storytelling ?/10 Does your build communicate a story all on it's own? Aesthetics ?/10 Detailing, build composition, and visual impact. Technical Ability ?/10 How well you use building techniques. SNOT, NPU, and movement are all elements of this category. Final Score: ?/30 Individual Awards Grand Admiral: awarded to the competitor with the highest total score combined from all entered categories. To win the Grand Admiral prize you must enter at least 3 categories. Categories Minifigure Habitat Create 3 or more purist Star Wars minifigures and a habitat for them. These minifigures should fit in context with their habitat. Maybe you create a room from the Jedi Temple with 3 Jedi. Or maybe a hanger bay with 2 mechanics and 1 pilot. The habitat should be no larger than 16x16x16. No odd combination baseplate footprints allowed. The largest a side may be is 16 studs. The tallest it may be is 16 studs. The habitat may be smaller than 16x16x16. Example: Imperial Ship Create a ship that would fit the Imperial aesthetic. You can use an existing ship design or create your own. You can create a TIE variant, shuttle variant, or something unique. Your ship must seat at least 1 human pilot and may be no larger than a Lambda class shuttle. So no Stardestroyers. A setting for your vehicle is allowed but not required. Example: Rogue Clone Show a Clone going against the norm. You can show a scene already represented in film media like Rex helping Ahsoka. Or you can create your own clone in his own scenario. Any scenario from the Clone Wars through Rebels is acceptable. Maybe the clone has "malfunctioned" and is killing Jedi before Order 66 is officially given. Or maybe your clone is refusing to obey the Empire anymore as we've seen in Bad Batch. Example: Nature Is After You! Create a scene from a jungle or forest planet and show why it's a dangerous place. You can create a scene from Felucia and show a plant eating someone. Or you can create a scene from Endor and show Ewoks eating a stormtrooper. Minimum size is 16x16. No maximum requirement. Example: Prizes Minifigure Habitat - First place wins a set or sets with an equivalent value up to 35 Euro as their prize like: Imperial Ship - First place wins a set or sets with an equivalent value up to 65 Euro as their prize like: Rogue Clone - First place wins a set or sets with an equivalent value up to 90 Euro as their prize like: Nature Is After You! - First place wins a set or sets with an equivalent value up to 140 Euro as their prize like: Grand Admiral - A set or sets with an equivalent value up to 240 Euro as their prize like: Fine Print By entering, you consent to Eurobricks reposting your entry on Eurobricks' social media channels, crediting you. Prizes are supplied by TLG and are subject to the rules below. Prize values are determined in accordance with German Shop at Home and prizes are subject to availability on the Shop at Home in the winners' local countries. Some back and forth with Eurobricks staff might be required to select an available prize. Prizes could take 8-10 weeks to arrive but we will keep you updated as much as we are able.
  10. Friendly reminder to not post anything spoilery from today's episode until next Wed. Thank you to everyone who's been using spoiler tags so far.
  11. Great to have you on board @A_Goodman! Make sure you check out our current Episode challenge going on right now. We've also got some exciting updates/additions to the game coming soon.
  12. I tried to tighten down what was posted there and we had almost nothing posted last year. I say we loosen the restrictions a little and see if we can find a better balance. So yes, feel free to post smaller leaks there.
  13. Hence why we have a news thread. I don't have time to comb. But anyone is welcome to post a summary/round-up in that thread at any point.
  14. As a long time member and contributor on the forum I believe it's not your intention to escalate the situation. I'm just going to use your comment as a reminder to everyone here that each is entitled to his/her own opinion. It doesn't add any value to the discussion to put down anyone else's opinion about a Lego set. Don't link to leaks. It's a small action that could have huge ramifications for EB. So it's a big deal. Please don't do it again.
  15. Watch who you're calling ancient! That's a large number of us on the forum TLG literally pays people to inspect those details. Quality control is slacking and it's fair to point that out.
  16. Fantastic use of cloud pieces for sheep! I really love your building. The rock effect is amazing and your roof looks incredible. The sea serpent biting the line and the fisherwoman's expression are a great touch of humor as is the sheep on the ice. Lovely work all around!
  17. Well, when I'm wrong I'm wrong. I'd apologize but it is kind of my job to be one of the most skeptical on this thread. I don't like that they dropped these on April 1st. No fun for a moderator! Nah, I said you could have up to 10 pages and we only hit 5. Thank you for making this suggestion. Thank you for removing the link. For anyone wondering why, we don't want to come up as the source of people directing to leaks. Lego could drop their support of our site if it became consistent. Tell me about it! Between Rivendell and now this Star Wars wave I'm going to have to sell off some stuff to afford it. Anyone want a sealed Yularen polybag for $100?
  18. Another Saturday. Another wild ride in this thread. I get that it's April Fools so I understand there's a lot to talk about. But if there are 10 unread pages when I wake up tomorrow I'm locking the thread till Monday. Just saying, be careful how far off topic you choose to go in the next 8 hours...
  19. Wow. I'm going to need more popcorn. It's April 1st guys. The fact that you spent 4 pages discussing the validity of these "leaks" will make the PB writers happy that they were so successful.
  20. This is so good! Love how you managed the angled wall on the left half of the port. And all the architecture feels very Kali.
  21. We can go round and round guessing what's going to be in the Swamp Speeder. Since we've already had dozens of pages dedicated to those guesses let's give it a rest until we have something more substantial please.
  22. If you're just counting 5 days a week to account for "business" days it's been 51. But who's counting
  23. Tell me about it! The Johnny Thunder landing page on Lego.com was one of the first websites I ever visited. And that was almost 25 years ago.
  24. That's almost exactly how my 2nd conversation with CS went. They said it bounced back and forth. But they said that was normal and to just wait the 40 days. But my order is over $150 which could account for why they don't want to try any other solutions just yet. I'm going to call them again next week if nothing happens.
  25. This thread is where people should post official info, not sure if it's up-to-date though.
