I always feel like Lego underdid it on the minifigure selection for the books, but this is a figure that probably never would have been made otherwise, and its got all exclusive prints. Really knocked it out of the park this time. Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 Star Wars-wise, this really is the best book exclusive minifig And now it‘s really getting ridiculous with the unequal variety of facial expressions for our four main characters in the ST: Kylo is about to have 6 (plus the mask & mask + hood combo), Finn has 7 now (3 double-sided heads and the one-sided one from his FO disguise), while Poe and Rey only have two each At least it may change soon, I sincerely hope they both get new ones in April (or for the Episode IX sets at the latest).

m4st3rt3ch Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 I'm more and more excited for the april-wave. If the ships get nearly as good as the recently leaked figures...poor wallet. Quote

I'm however very dissapointed with the new Imperial and Rebel Snowtroopers. It's so weird that Lego keeps changing colors... Now the rebels are back to tan legs and hats, and the imperials have tan hands... why? BTW: There is a picture of a new Han in Stormtrooper disguise minifig - with the new helmet. Does that mean the last unnamed anniversary set is a Death Star detention block set? Or is it the minifig from a polybag or something? Could be a running change to the UCS Death Star? Like how they updated TFA Stormtroopers to TLJ designs in the battlepack. Quote

CC will probably stay the same though as that will likely be retired within 2 years, although I suppose it could get a running change if Lego no longer wants to produce the old helmet. They still have old Sandtroopers in the Landing Craft though so likely only the DS will get updated in time I would think. Quote

If TLG is going to be constantly "updating" existing sets (like the strange situation with the resistance bomber), that would be a total headache for us AFOLs... Quote

Poe especially, the angry face especially looks more like Nic Cage than Oscar Isaac, and Im really not sure how you screw up *that* badly Quote
Tariq j Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 If I remember correctly as well, the original 10188 Death Star, also has changes to some of its figures, like replacing Han’s face from the traditional smirk to the 2011 head. So yeah, it wouldn’t surprise me if that was the case here. That also might mean Luke and the other Stormtroopers in the set will be changed too. Zuckuss, looks excellent! It took us 20 years, but we got him in the end! Also really impressed with the Finn minifigure. Quote
Henry Bricklider Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Is there a consistent release schedule for the UCS sets? If not, is there any info on when the first one of the year will be released? I am unwisely hoping for a Tantive IV without any substantial evidence leaning towards that being the UCS set. Quote
Sneakguest Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Personally dont like the new Zuckuss that much, think the custom I have look way better, the color is off plus they have printed his tentacles, not nice at all. Quote

Typically a "smaller" (1500 - 2000 pieces) UCS is released on May 4th and a larger one some time in september or october Quote
Mandalorianknight Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Do we have any actual information on what the UCS releases will be or just speculation? Quote

I think the color is pretty accurate. the tentacles don't stick out that much so i'm fine with them being printed even though, it would have been nicer to see molded ones Quote
wesker Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 I'm fine with the tentacles being printed. Even with rubber I can't imagine they would've been very durable and the way they wrap around the body would've made it awkward putting the figure together. Quote
Robianco Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 I don’t think the tentacles would have worked due to playability and durability. i personally think that moulded head looks superior to any custom I’ve seen and the colour palette looks good too. An excellent way to round off the Bounty Hunters. Now I’ll have all six of them in Lego format, Kubrick figures and Hot Toys/Sideshow. Quote
Brick Cucumber Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 The new Kylo figure got leaked. It's got impressive damage on the outfit, and a bullet-hole on the torso and an oddly fresh face wound. This 100% confirms a Starkiller Base Duel set. I wonder if we'll get a Finn with a big cut across the jacket. Quote

Brickwraith Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 What happened to the v-19 and resistance transport sir von lego confirmed before he left? Quote

Maybe they were cancelled? SvL has never been wrong, so there has to be an explanation somewhere. Different topic: I wonder if TLG will repeat their mistake from 2017 and have the Episode IX sets on display in a secret area of the showroom at the Nuremberg Toy Fair tomorrow Thanks to that happy little accident, we got our first glimpse of Rose two years ago (can't believe it's been this long!)

This comment seems inappropriate to me. I don't know what happened, but that seems like a culturally and socially insensitive joke. In other news, my Finch Dallow minifigure arrived from LEGO Customer Service. I couldn't believe it arrived in less than two weeks with all the correct pieces! Quote
