General Armendariz Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) These are from General Armendariz !!!If you look close you can see the buttons are different colors on the left its black on the right its gold. Even the trim is different. Thanks for posting that that was my 3 or 4th post when I joined EB, nice to know people still wonder about it The old reversed print. I have a couple of bluecoats like that. THAT is what I've been looking for-FOREVER! EDIT: I was looking for pieces and such when I found on my only fleshie han solo head was showing the smirk was REVERSED Comparison: Edited June 12, 2009 by General Armendariz Quote
Shadows Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 I was looking for pieces and such when I found on my only fleshie han solo head was showing the smirk was REVERSED I'd take that. The comparison shot, though... what's up with using a decal for the torso and who's is it? Quote
YG-49 Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Oh well, at least you can now recreate scenes from when Han was smirking from the other side! Quote

chris_austin Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 I e-mailed LEGO about the marble effect bricks and they said that if they find any, they get recycled along with the rest of the 'error' bricks but obviously some will get through from time to time. If you find one then you're very lucky! They do not produce them on purpose but I suggested that they should as the bricks would be very popular e.g. for marble flooring, pillars, statues etc. I have not received a reply about this though.

The Who Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) I find the quality of printed Castle shields, horse bardings etc really variable. Most of my Crownie shields are misprinted or slightly smudged. The bardings don't fare much better. The printing rarely aligns perfectly.... Really? I have This barding, and it has almost perfectly aligned printing... Edited June 12, 2009 by booger540 Quote
Clone OPatra Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Really? I have This barding, and it has almost perfectly aligned printing... I believe Svelte was talking about caste pieces in the Castle line, not KK2. I, however, have several crownie torsos, shields, etc, and none have unaligned printing. I filled in the customer service form, so in the next three weeks I should get new gold armor! I have also taken pictures of a few of my other messed up parts. First, a faded tan suit (with comparison to regular on the right): A racer guy who always smirks: And a shogun that is speechless: Comparisons for racer and shogun. Quote
RileyC Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 I have some super battle droid legs that have some marbling around the joints. It doesnt really affect the look of them though Quote
Ricecracker Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 ...and there's no point in having an inferior part. Unless it's this. I think it's be awesome having that. Quote
ILikePi Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 Unless it's this. I think it's be awesome having that. Wow, that boat looks awesome. Thanks for showing us that picture. Quote
Tom Bricks Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 (edited) Unless it's this. I think it's be awesome having that. That would be perfect for a ship wreck or shark attack. Thats one mismolded piece I wouldn't mind having. Edit. There's actually a Flickr group just like this here http://www.flickr.com/groups/825923@N23/pool/ Edited June 13, 2009 by Tom Bricks Quote
JCC1004 Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 (edited) There are tons on Flickr and Brickshelf. There is even a misprint pool! These are cool. I do have a CW MAce w/o eyebrows. Poor guy. Edited June 13, 2009 by JCC1004 Quote
General Armendariz Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 Edit. There's actually a Flickr group just like this here http://www.flickr.com/groups/825923@N23/pool/ I Just joined that group and put my misprints on. Quote
chris_austin Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 I have some super battle droid legs that have some marbling around the joints. It doesnt really affect the look of them though I think this happened a lot with Super Battle Droids - I have loads of them with slightlymarbled body parts, especialy torsos.

Capt. Kirk Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 THAT is what I've been looking for-FOREVER! --> If it's possible could you take a picture... I think a lot of members in Classic Pirates forum will love to see it. Thanks in Advance Imperial Shadows. Quote

samthelegoman1 Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 I think that I have at least had 1 strange piece.. Quote
Peppermint_M Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 My Marion from Ambush in Cairo set has a chin cleft on her scared face... So it's funnily unique. Quote
HumanPackMule Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 My Marion from Ambush in Cairo set has a chin cleft on her scared face... So it's funnily unique. Do you have a picture of it? I'm sure many members(and myself) here would like to see it(please). Quote
user Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 My Marion from Ambush in Cairo set has a chin cleft on her scared face... So it's funnily unique. I don't think that's a misprint because mine had that too. Quote
Peppermint_M Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Oh ok, I just checked it against the Bricklink picture because I thought it looked odd. Maybe its a super common mistake? Quote
