@ JCC1004, good idea for ussing the colours (the orange part is somethimes formulated a little strange but doesn't matter). Maybe viceroy Kim T would feel up to it to edit the first post of this topic is we al formulate the errors like you do.

Sure thing.

I've already copied JCC1004's orange/blue post into the first post

[JCC1004]

Here's the next round of errors.

Error List:

Page # - Type of error - Error

6 - Time line Placement - What makes 8009 Technic R2-D2 Episode I? Box has Tantive IV background

6 Time line Placement - What makes 3219 Mini TIE Fighter Episode IV? Box has Episode V background

6 - Time line Placement - What makes 8010 Technic Darth Vader Episode IV? Box has Episode V background

6 - Time line Placement - What makes 7194 Ultimate Collector's Series Yoda Episode IV? Box has Episode IV background

6 - Time line Placement - What makes 4488 Mini Millennium Falcon Episode IV? Box has Episode VI background

6 - Time line Placement - What makes 4489 Mini AT-AT Episode V? Box had Episode V background

6 - Time line Placement - What makes 4494 Mini Imperial Shuttle Episode VI? Box has Episode VI background

Thats all I want to do for now. All of these could have been avoided if a 4/5/6 section existed.

Great work JCC1004. There seems to be quite a few mistakes in the book that I didn't really pick up on.

Thanks for your service.

[ILikePi]

Great list JCC1004! I only found a few mistakes in the timeline.

This is a list of everything I found, using your format:

Page number - Type of error - Error

9 - Timeline placement - 8017 Darth Vader's Tie Fighter is listed as a 2008 set when it was released in 2009

9 - Timeline placement - 30005 Mini Imperial Speeder Bike is listed as a Clone Wars set when it is actually EU

18 - Description - In the description about Darth Maul, they say that his lightsaber is single-bladed in 7663 Sith Inflitrator. Is this true?

20 - Picture - An Anakin Skywalker minifigure with printed pockets on the legs never existed

25 - Picture - An assassin droid from the 2009 battle pack is used instead of the original IG-88 minifigure

45 - Description title - For the title of the description about the quad laser cannons on the Millennium Falcon, only the word "quad" is capitalized when all three words should be

47 - Picture - The picture of 7264 Imperial Inspection is horrendously fuzzy

50 - Picture - The picture of the turbolaser cannon is very badly edited

52 - Picture - The bottom right foot of the 2003 version of the AT-AT is missing the footpad

52 - Description - In the description of the snowtrooper, the word "inbuilt" is used instead of "built-in"

63 - Descriptions - In both snowspeeder descriptions, Dack Ralter's name is spelled "Dak"

65 - Caption - There's a dash in between the words "trap door" (in the book it's "trap-door")

69 - Caption - The caption of the sliding blast doors in 8038 The Battle of Endor says that they "can be 'blown off'" while the sides can only be blown off

81 - Picture - 8031 V-19 Torrent is upside-down

All - Flip-animation - The clone troopers in the flip-animation on every page of the book have light bley hips instead of black ones

^{* Since the 2007 and 2008 battle packs are listed as EU sets, these should be too, since they are vehicles that TLG invented.}

Well, that's it for now!

EDIT: By the way, there's a photo collage of the October 10 event:

[CommanderFox]

Wow I only realised now that there is no 4,5,6 section in here

Thanks for showing the mistakes JCC1004 It's no use to me though as I don't have it...yet...christmas hurry and Come!

Great Collage Pi did you do it?

SNIPED LIST

Thanks, now I don't have to do the rest of it. I'll go through and add dashes. It makes it more organized. I do have two more things to add.

85 - Label - A label for 10019 Tantive IV reads: "Stickers add details" when in fact there are no stickers for the set and ot a 1X2 brick with grooves.

95 - Label - The Mos Eisley MOC has a mislabel. It reads: "Some aliens have heads sculpted from modeling clay" When in fact there are no custom heads. It's a Green Goblin head.

Thanks for the list guys, it is by far the most cmprehensive collection of errors I've seen to date.

Many of the pooints you have raised have been addressed for correction.

There are a few I'd like to take time to correct:

5 Time line Placement What makes 7106 TIE Fighter Episode IV? Death Star Background?

** It first appeared in Ep4 and the packaging shows the DS surface

5 Time line Placement What makes 8008 Technic Stormtrooper Episode IV? Death Star interior background?

** It first appeared in Ep4 and the packaging shows the DS background

6 Time line Placement - What makes 3219 Mini TIE Fighter Episode IV? Box has Episode V background

** Because it made its first appearance in Ep4, but you're right about the Ep5 background

6 - Time line Placement - What makes 8010 Technic Darth Vader Episode IV? Box has Episode V background

** Because it made its first appearance in Ep4, but you're right about the Ep5 background

6 - Time line Placement - What makes 7194 Ultimate Collector's Series Yoda Episode IV? Box has Episode IV background

** Huh? It's in the Ep5 band and it has an Ep5 background

6 - Time line Placement - What makes 4488 Mini Millennium Falcon Episode IV? Box has Episode VI background

** Because it made its first appearance in Ep4, but you're right about the Ep6 background

6 - Time line Placement - What makes 4489 Mini AT-AT Episode V? Box had Episode V background

** You just argued yourself into a corner there! The set is an Ep5 set because it was first seen in Ep5 and it has an Ep6 location (Hoth) in the background

6 - Time line Placement - What makes 4494 Mini Imperial Shuttle Episode VI? Box has Episode VI background

** You just argued yourself into a corner there! The set is an Ep6 set because it was first seen in Ep6 and it has an Ep6 location (Death Star II) in the background

7 - Time line Placement - What makes 10131 TIE Fighter Collection Episode IV? It has an Expanded Universe ship included

** The packaging shows the DS trench and 2 out of 3 of the vehicles are Ep4

7 - Time line Placement - What makes 10134 Y-Wing Attack Starfighter Episode IV? The Box has a Death Star background. Ship was also in Episode VI

** It first appeared in Ep4 and the packaging shows the DS surface

7 - Time line Placement - What makes 4492 Mini Star Destroyer Episode IV? Box has Episode IV background

** You just argued yourself into a corner there! The set is an Ep4 set because it was first seen in Ep4 and it has an Ep4 location (Tatooine) in the background

7 - Time line Placement - What makes 6963 Mini X-Wing Fighter Episode IV?

** It first appeared in Ep4

7 - Time line Placement - What makes 7263 Tie Fighter Episode IV? Box has Episode IV background.

** You just argued yourself into a corner there! The set is an Ep4 set because it was first seen in Ep4 and it has an Ep4 location (Death Star) in the background

9 - Timeline placement - 8017 Darth Vader's Tie Fighter is listed as a 2008 set when it was released in 2009

** it came out in some places in Europe in 2008

9 - Timeline placement - 30006 Mini Clone Walker is listed as a Clone Wars set when it is actually EU

** because it is in CW packaging and the promo was linked to the start of CW season 2

9 - Timeline placement - 8014 Clone Walker Battle Pack is listed as a Clone Wars set when it is actually EU*

** because it is in CW packaging and the promo was linked to the start of CW season 2

9 - Timeline placement - 8015 Assassin Droids Battle Pack is listed as a Clone Wars set when it is actually EU*

** because it is in CW packaging and the promo was linked to the start of CW season 2; also, the assasin droids on swoops were seen in the original 2002 animated TV series

20 - Picture - An Anakin Skywalker minifigure with printed pockets on the legs never existed

** I'm scratching my head over this. I thought this photo came from my collection. I'll have to check my collection top see what's up

47 - Picture - The picture of 7264 Imperial Inspection is horrendously fuzzy

** odd, because mine is fine

52 - Description - In the description of the snowtrooper, the word "inbuilt" is used instead of "built-in"

** these two words mean exactly the same thing

63 - Descriptions - In both snowspeeder descriptions, Dack Ralter's name is spelled "Dak"

** the original spelling of his name was Dack, but DK checked with LFL and they agreed on Dak.

65 - Caption - There's a dash in between the words "trap door" (in the book it's "trap-door")

** it is spelled differently in different countries. DK is a British publishing company. Hence "lightsabre" instead of "lightsaber".

75 - Data box - The data box of 8014 Clone Walker Battle Pack has a spot where some ink is missing (may only be in my book)

** it must be a printing error, but curiously I have a smudge over part of the Y in Year

85 - Label - A label for 10019 Tantive IV reads: "Stickers add details" when in fact there are no stickers for the set

** the book was written and sent to the publishers before any info on this set was released

95 - Label - The Mos Eisley MOC has a mislabel. It reads: "Some aliens have heads sculpted from modeling clay" When in fact there are no custom heads. It's a Green Goblin head.

** the picture was labelled by the people who built Mos LEGO, so I'm guessing that somewhere on the diorama there are some custom heads

I did realize you made this. I'll reply to it.

6 - Time line Placement - What makes 7194 Ultimate Collector's Series Yoda Episode IV? Box has Episode IV background

** Huh? It's in the Ep5 band and it has an Ep5 background

Sorry I meant Episode V. Yoda was in Episode V and VI.

6 - Time line Placement - What makes 4489 Mini AT-AT Episode V? Box had Episode V background

** You just argued yourself into a corner there! The set is an Ep5 set because it was first seen in Ep5 and it has an Ep6 location (Hoth) in the background

Hoth isn't and Episode VI location. The background is Hoth. (Episode V)

6 - Time line Placement - What makes 4494 Mini Imperial Shuttle Episode VI? Box has Episode VI background

** You just argued yourself into a corner there! The set is an Ep6 set because it was first seen in Ep6 and it has an Ep6 location (Death Star II) in the background

You're right. I thought it was shown before.

7 - Time line Placement - What makes 4492 Mini Star Destroyer Episode IV? Box has Episode IV background

** You just argued yourself into a corner there! The set is an Ep4 set because it was first seen in Ep4 and it has an Ep4 location (Tatooine) in the background

How did I argue myself in a corner?

7 - Time line Placement - What makes 7263 Tie Fighter Episode IV? Box has Episode IV background.

** You just argued yourself into a corner there! The set is an Ep4 set because it was first seen in Ep4 and it has an Ep4 location (Death Star) in the background

Again how did I argue myself into a corner?

85 - Label - A label for 10019 Tantive IV reads: "Stickers add details" when in fact there are no stickers for the set

** the book was written and sent to the publishers before any info on this set was released

I made a mistake. There are stickers in that set. The label doesn't point to a sticker in points to a 1X2 brick with grooves. BTW I'm talking about this Tantive IV. Not 10199. That set is quite old and all information about it should have been available.

A lot of the time line errors are technicalities. BTW I think Pi missed this one.

8 - Time line Placement - 6212 X-Wing Fighter is in the Episode IV group when it should be in Episode V because of the Hoth figures.

A lot of the "errors" listed in this thread seem extremely nitpicky to me. I really don't see how having a dash in trap door is an error. I've seen it written both ways. I won't go into detail, but many other errors fall into the trivial category, IMO.

[CommanderFox]

Wow JCC1004 you must have read the book over so many times, there's no way I could find as many errors as you keep finding.

I can't wait to try find afew that you have listed, when I get my copy.

Nice job with finding all of them.

I've noticed people are more likely to critisize over the internet than in real life.

Hoth isn't and Episode VI location. The background is Hoth. (Episode V)

You're right. I thought it was shown before.

You did state that Ep4 had the TIE, but that's not an error. If you said that it appeared in Ep4, why would it be an error? Same goes for the Star Destroyer.

On the matter of Technic Vader, he is listed under Ep4 because of the red eyes, which were only in Ep4.

He meant Ep5 for Hoth.

Sorry to bump an old topic.

TIEs were in all of the OT movies. A general OT section you have been a lot better.

Vader? Red eyes? I don't understand.

I know he meant Episode V , I just wanted him to know of his error.

Let me make it clearer: If you watch A New Hope, look at Vader very closely. Some scenes, such as the Duel on the Death Star between Vader and Obi-Wan, you'll notice that Vader's mask's eyes are tinted red. Now look at the Technic Darth Vader, and you'll notice that he has very clear red eyes. Hence why they put him under A New Hope.

I haven't noticed that and I doubt the developers did either. I also doubt Lucas purposely tinted Vader's eyes red. It must be a lighting error.

EDIT: I can't believe I chose the wrong font color.

Nope, I think it was so David Prowse could see better. Maybe they found a new type of plastic for ESB and ROTJ, where he could see and have black eyes.

It's a insignificant detail that doesn't constitute whether or not he belongs in Episode IV, V, or VI. As Jeremy would put it, "Vader first appeared in ANH and was put in the Episode he first appeared in." It's just like the others. And kudos to the developers for adding Episode III in the Falcon's appearances. Tantive IV could have the Episode III too but it had a massive upgrade and it wasn't recognizable as a CR70.

[LEGOscum]

This is almost the correct answer. It's been known for a long time that the lenses in the helmet looked red. It's because the plastic had a strange tint under the studio lights.

As for sets that appeared in more than one movie, like the TIE Fighters or Star Destroyers, the publishers decided to list them in the movie they first appeared in, which is why the TIE Fighters and Star Destroyer are listed in Ep4. The problem of 6212 is that while it does appear first in Ep4 and its packaging is Ep4, it does have some Ep5 minifigs.

[JCC1004]

The box has an Episode V scene. It's Luke flying away from Hoth. And if that's the case why isn't 4504 Falcon in Episode IV?
