It's tough to find ones with the visor on, someone said they used a clone pilot head awhile back in the thread, I use the zev senesca head from the hoth battle pack. Without the visor, maybe Ezra's? I'm not sure... Quote

For resistance characters, there are many torso options if you're trying for the more scruffy looking aesthetic they've got, most torsos for tatooine rebels will work, as well as endor ones, definitely jedha/scarif rebels, too. But for replicating specific film costumes, there aren't many other choices. Looking at this image the torsos made for the TFA sets cover most characters here, aside from the occasional jacket or satchel. For some specific characters, cassian's torso would work great for the caphex spy. The ovissian gunner could use rose's torso, though it's not as close of a match. Nien Numb could use the knight rider torso. Quote

macaron35 Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 I need snowtroopers without the backpack attached to the helmet but I only have those with it originally molded. Would it look bad if it cut the backpack with a sharp knife ? Quote

Would it look bad if it cut the backpack with a sharp knife ? If it does not bother you to do so then a good sharp craft knife and a steady hand will do a decent job. The back of the helmet wont have the same length of the face/neck covering around the back of the neck as the separate helmets but it should look ok. Quote

Would it look bad if it cut the backpack with a sharp knife ? I don't really understand, why don't you just buy the newer helmets to replace them then? They're cheap and readily available, rather than dangerously vandalising the old ones you have: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=16501pb01&name=Minifigure,%20Headgear%20Helmet%20SW%20Snowtrooper%20with%20Black%20Eye%20Holes%20Pattern&category=%5BMinifigure,%20Headgear%5D#T=C&C=1 Edited October 25, 2020 by Daddy_Stardust Quote
macaron35 Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 I finally ordered helmets because cutting them won't give a good result I was asking because bricklink is as a cheap as you believe... i needed several helmets and there is no a lot of stores having the number of helmets needed... Some are used, others are new. Plus shipping... like for example from Germany to France or italy to France, shipping is extremely expensive especially if the seller charges handling fees. I am trying to optimize and reduce my costs as much as I can. Just to give you an example: I just bought 4 snowtroopers backpack printed tiles 1x1, they costed me 0.99 euro, but handling and shipping: almost 3 euros... unfortunately minifigs and SW accessories are not available for sale on lego.com otherwise I wouldn't have struggling with this...

Not that it's all too difficult to get the figure now that he's in a polybag in europe and was in a $40 set in the US, bricklink prices are $5-10 in germany (so I believe around $15 including shipping if you were to buy one and were from america) Quote

Hopefully it arrives sooner rather than later (with an estimated arrival date of November 5-24 ). Edited October 28, 2020 by Yoshifan33 Quote
macaron35 Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 17 bucks for a polybag ??? the one with Bespin Luke ? Quote

macaron35 Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 you don't have the same magazine in the US or is the polybag simply expensive including shipping ? (did you order overseas?) Quote
Yoshifan33 Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) Yeah, as far as I know it's exclusive to Germany right now (and I think the UK is getting it in November? Not sure right now), and yeah, about half of the cost was shipping :/. Better than buying it from Bespin Duel or BaCC for like $25-40 though. Edited October 29, 2020 by Yoshifan33 Quote
