LEGO Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles, Times Square-edition Press Kit

Interesting that it has multiple holes left open in the front, as if it could connect to something larger...

I think those let you combine it with another press set to make the full bowl shaped room.

So has anyone found the official parts list yet??

Part list: here

Element ID are all correct.

It took 9 Bricklink orders, as I wanted to do it all in the UK but I have ordered all the parts to make this set and the minifigs. The only thing I still need is the torso for the Padawan, which is taken from the new Anakin fig in the new RGS. Guess I can wait a bit for that fig to be complete as I don't want to spend £10 on the fig. Shame I won't have the box or instuctions but it is going to work out quite a bit cheaper than the $1000 or £600 price these sets are going for on Ebay .

I am not normally one for double posting but I though I would share the photos of my Bricklinked copy of this set.

As you can see I am still waiting for the new Anakin torso from the new 75021 RGS set to complete the Padawan.

I think this is a very nice set and Lego at least the should release the instructions for it. It is a real shame these went to Press and not to the fans who would really appreciate it.

A special thank you to Jamie75 and vean for their LDD models which helped loads when building!

Nice job, mutley. Is the one upcoming torso the only part that's (right now) exclusive to this model?

I have to say that even though it's a decent idea for a Yoda Chronicles set and even though the execution is good, it doesn't seem that special as a model.

How sturdy is it? Those black panels especially look a little unstable, being attached to Technic angle connectors that appear to just slide on to the axles with no method of locking them in place.

[mutley777]

The torso is the only exclusive part so far but the 114 Trans Dark Blue 1x1 plates are going to make getting them in good numbers very hard if lots of people start buying them. They are by no means a rare part but nothing comes close the amount needed here. There is right now only 18 sellers on BL who have the enough for the full 114 and only 9 sellers have 114 them in new condition. Multiple orders will be needed here.

I did use the part list image in the Toyark gallery to make sure I had everything.http://news.toyark.com/2013/05/17/lego-summer-press-kit-secrets-to-reveal-there-are-87360#images

As for the set well it is a little flimsy around the back parts you mention but not to the point where it falls apart just looking at it.

[Brickdoctor]

I see, thanks! Strange that they did not just add a 1L bushing between each pair of angle connectors on the 5L axles. If it was one connector, then one bushing, then one connector, the lower connector would be kept from sliding and the upper one would be locked to the lower one by the plates attached to both of them.

Nice work Mutley (and good to see you around!)

I had a quick look at Lego PAB and they have the 1x1 plates in 'Tr Blue' (which I think is the darker blue) at a very reasonable price of £0.06 each, so that's always an option if they aren't available on Bricklink.

Cheers, Robin
