We’re judging something like a mold that is three dimensional from a single angle in a single photo that could be distorted. I have my reservations but I think the community, here and beyond, is reacting very strongly to something that requires far more data to evaluate. Which is a totally valid reaction. Part of the fun are these discussions. However i’m coming from loving the new rebel pilot helmet from the photos to seeing it in person and disliking it entirely. From the Insta posts and the eBay listing there's actually at least four photos now with differing angles so I'm judging it on that and it doesn't change my opinion on it. And I like the Rebel helmet from the pics and in person so I'm not anti-new moulds. I think Lego cracked down on leaks to stop copycat fakes getting out early not because people would judge them.

October 24, 20186 yr People, all you have to do is a little bit of research to find leaked images. It’s not hard.

Is there? I’d like to see other angles. I’ve only seen three, all showing it directly from the front and back. Look that’s entirely fair. I was a defender of the pilot helmets up until I saw them in hand and even then they’re not bad. I plan on collecting them now as new print designs come out. However to me they’re like the Vader helmet, which looks slightly up rather then straight on. Close to perfect but a hair off, a hair bigger then they should. My problem with the new stormie helmet was it seemed proportionally off. These other pics make it seem to share the proportions of the Patrol Trooper which I found fairly perfect. i suspect in hand and as we get more pics it’ll look a lot better.

Search Lego 75234 on eBay; that will get you to Gree and the Battle Droids, then from those listing look at the seller's other items.
October 24, 20186 yr Finding LEGO pictures can be tricky so I sit back and enjoy my favourite LEAK INSTA soup instead. I'm not a machine proGRAMed to do such demanding tasks

I miss the Legoleaks subreddit/discord :/ Lego keeps yelling at the Reddit admins for leaks though, sadly. so those arent coming back. I assume the same happened with discord.
October 24, 20186 yr Just lookup #legoleaks on instagram. Literally everything is there. I dunno if you need an account to look but if so then just make a dummy account. Edited October 24, 20186 yr by Bartybum

I wish 4chan would go back to leaking like they used to. The site is anonymous and the leakers themselves are tech-savvy enough to make sure Lego doesn't track them down. We're almost a full month past when January images usually come out and the traffic on here isn't like it usually is
October 24, 20186 yr 13 minutes ago, Bartybum said: Anyways, back to the topic. It’s curious that they didn’t decide to reuse the Mimban Stormtrooper helmet for next year’s Stormtroopers. Is it not more or less the same helmet shape? Im convinced it won’t be that dissimilar from the Mimban or even Patrol Trooper.
October 24, 20186 yr 29 minutes ago, Bartybum said: Jesus dude just google it. And further on that note, I’ve tried to stay fairly distant with this problem, but I’ll take the bait because it’s crazy that people lack such basic self awareness. Can people please use their brains and stop clogging these damn threads with “hurr durr can u send me a link??” If you want a link (which you can generally find on a whole array of social media and/or after a quick google search) then ask via private message instead of spamming the thread. Good lord be considerate for one second. Anyways, back to the topic. It’s a pity that they didn’t just modify the Mimban Stormtrooper helmet so they could use it on future waves. It’s a really nice sculpt. Buddy boy chill out and dont get on your high horse of interweb self righteousness. Also stop clogging this thread with your whining about people asking for help. Thank you to those that positively chimed in or sent PM's to people asking.
October 25, 20186 yr The new praetorian guard leaked from the battlepack...Well just part of it It looks like it's going to have normal legs instead of the skirt piece

I never saw the appeal of the skirt for characters that are supposed to be extremely maneuverable in battle.they just have robes like maul did in TPM. i don't think he needs the skirt so..
October 25, 20186 yr 3 hours ago, Balrogofmorgoth said: I actually really like the new Stormtrooper helmet I don't think they are that ugly either, but I dont see the need for a new mold/print since the previous one was pretty decent. The new stormtrooper reminds me of the "STAR WARS Detours" stormtroopers in some way.

The copycatters don't use the photos to make bootlegs. The photos come out because their being sold in small toy shops in China/HK and on the internet, not because cloners need crappylo-res images to make almost perfect copies. They can get their hands on the originals. This all happens in one country - it's not hard to figure it out.

Looks like they've dual moulded the black into it rather than printed it. Because of that the shape looks off to me. Much prefer the current one. Where do you see these pictures?
October 25, 20186 yr 12 minutes ago, Sir von Lego said: Where do you see these pictures? Theres a Youtube video with a picture of the front and back, that one looked ugly. But there is a listing on eBay for the new stormtrooper and it looks a lot better, with more pictures. I can send you a link if you want.

I hope at least one of the guards in the set uses the skirt piece
