Guys, pretty much everything posted for the last few pages belongs in this thread.

I wish I had insider info. My comment was for those who saw some previous discussion that has been hidden since it didn't need to be on the forum.

Nothing to see here. Move along, move along.

What a beautiful build! I'm a big fan of the new curved slope piece and am thrilled it comes in Dark Red now. It seems like the Dark Red is pretty consistent in your copy of the set. I know Lego struggles with keep the shades the same from production run to production run. I wonder if others will end up with slight variations in red if their copy gets parts from different runs.

Do you have part IDs?

A moderator has already stepped in. It appears he's trying to drop the subject. Please do the same.

This is your only warning. You are violating the EB terms of agreement. If you continue to act inappropriately I will take further measures.

There's no easy way. You just have to know what sets currently in production are using the pieces you're looking for. You can check Bricklink if you're not sure and see if the part is in any 2020-1 set. You could also ask here on EB, this community can give the answer if you're not sure yourself.

Just ordered my 2 copies of the Forge from Lego. Was surprised to see that the limit was 5 per person. We'll see how fast it sells out.

Two orders I placed at the beginning of Aug showed up late last week. I'm hoping the order I placed yesterday will show up by the end of Sept.

Just found this cool new part: from a Princess storybook set.

Yes, it's not there now. Probably so they can try to fulfill all the existing pre-orders before it sells out on Sept 1st in 5 min.

Thank you all for recognizing you were off topic and getting back on track. Everyone makes mistakes about the best place to post things sometimes. All good.

Thanks guys! Some of those are a lot bigger than I'm planning to build. But Eero's Hobbit characters are just about perfect.

I'm trying to build some dwarf statues for my contest entry. But I have done much large scale character building before. Anyone have any suggestions or tutorials you'd recommend?

Looking forward to what you build in S2! We'd love to have you back in CorSec

I'm going to step in now and say we've gotten off topic. The discussion is relevant discussion. Just not on track with what we're supposed to be talking about in this thread, 2021 sets. Please feel free to continue discussing TLG's motives and moves in a different, more appropriate thread. You can find the list in my signature below

I finished building the Bad Batch Shuttle yesterday. It's a nice build and I love the techniques. But it does not hold up to the 3-year-old-boy test. The side panels keep falling off. And it drives me nuts that you can't hold it by the top fin! Love the figs though. My copy did NOT come with an extra Wrecker armor piece. Anyone else have that?

I would like to give a special shout-out to all the CorSec players. Four of them made it into the top 20 XP chart. @karmajay was the top Cat A player. @Jody Meyer was one of only 3 people to go for Cat B. And @jansued was the top player for Cat C! You guys have made Factions a great place. Keep up the great work!

Speculating about figures for an upcoming set is walking a fine line. Most of the time it turns into wishlisting. If you can keep it from being a wishlist then it's ok.

As expected, not a whole lot of new parts available yet. But I was happy to find these:

*Stuartn's entry has earned 9 XP (5xp, plus 1/3 of the average of all of the builds)* *Jody Meyer's entry has earned 10 XP (6xp plus 1/3 of the average of all of the builds)* *MKJoshA's entry has earned 14 XP (10xp plus 1/3 of the average of all of the builds)* The might of the Empire had been sent to Hoth. The Rebels prepared to defend their base until the transports could jump to hyperspace. They gathered their forces and mounted Tauntauns. Known for their hardiness in cold weather these creatures had been perfect for the rebels to get around the planet without drawing too much attention to themselves. (Built by @Stuartn) But against chicken walkers and AT-ATs the tauntauns had not chance. The Empire was slowly advancing on the shield and power generators. So the Rebel Alliance sent out their speeders to try to talk down the walkers. More shots: (Built by @Jody Meyer) With the shield generator destroyed, the Rebels mounted one final defense. The last of the transports was loading and the Imperial ground troops were advancing into the base. The Rebels laid down cover fire to keep the Imps at bay while the last of their forces fled the planet. (Built by @MKJoshA) These are a set of Era Builds for CorSec with IP going to Tatooine.

The city street is what really steals the show here. Thought ships are really nice re-colors of the A-Wing and Y-Wing

Those are some fun ships!
