Post your general LEGO Star Wars questions here

The newest one is a lot closer to scale. The previous models have the turret above the cockpit but in reality it is set back a bit.

Thank you Breden.

I have been searching for it anyway possible but it just doesn't show up in search results...

any of you guys have been able to enter the lego.com survey for feedback on the products with the new set numbers?

i really want to give them my opinion on those blasted blasters:)

maybe they just havent updated for the new set numbers because they are out only in some countries

[Merc4hire95]

The antennas and visors are just extra's that are given to provide customization to what ever it is you want to put it on. If you do not want these extra's, I might suggest selling them in bulk, give/trade to a friend or simply dispose of them.

Are they available on your Shop At Home yet? If not maybe you'll have to wait until around then.

Hi everyone! I was looking at Lego's Star Wars page, and they have the Battle of Hoth "retiring soon". I want to know how long I might have to get one. I really need Snow troopers (i have none). I want Rieekan. I need Pilot Luke. I need more Hoth Rebels. What do you guys think?

[Freddy Bricker]

I don't know, Lego seems to be a loose canon with these type of things, they had the Captain America set on "Retiring soon" back in the summer, and now it's available for shipping, and I saw like 5 of them last time I went to ToysRUs (yesterday). And then, they had a whole bunch of sets on "retiring soon" that retired a week after being put on that title. Lego can do what they want with this, but I suggest getting it before the year ends. You could always hope it's still around in January, but that's a really big risk. I understand your pain, though, retired sets are usually the only one's I want! Why can't I like a set when it comes out?

Also, 400th post!

Yeah, but my Lego budget for this month has been reached, unfortunately . I don't want to buy it off bricklink.

I was wondering if newer versions of the Death Star set come with newer versions of the minifigures. Like updated Luke, Leia, Han, 3PO, DS Trooper, Storm Trooper, DV, Palpatine, etc. etc.

Does it?

[Something_Awesome]

Toys r us had that set for 35.99 a week ago (limit 2). That is usually a solid sign that it is retiring (when retailers try to push items off shelves).

I bought the Death Star about a month back, Han had the black eyes with the white pupils, Leia had the old style regular face, Luke had this weird version of the original face which I'd never seen before, C3P0 was the older version, the DS Trooper, Stormtrooper, and Palpatine were the same. Bricklink says there is a "death star version" of Darth, but I couldn't tell the difference between that one and the one I had from the IS or his TIE. (by the way, there is a thread for general star wars questions that you could have posted both your topics in).

[Sir_Basil_Ashton]

My family got 10188 back in 2009 and it the minifig heads had the solid black eyes. The newer ones have the white pupils.

[Sir_Basil_Ashton]

If I were in your shoes, I would purchase the set as soon as it's in your budget again. Hopefully it's still around.

I agree, it looks quite a good set, but the kind that doesn't last long.

[Cyberbricker]

I just got it 2 weeks ago from the new official Lego Store in my area, they had 10 or more on the shelfs... 2 bad your from the USA, otherwise I could send you one, should it not be available anymore.

[donbarca]

Hi, I've just merged this with the SW Q&A thread. I'll merge your other thread in a bit

Ok, thanks!

Has anybody been to a lego store in the U.S.? Because I figured that they might release them earlier as that's what the did earlier this year with the AOTC sets.....

[OBI-WAN37]

Hi, I've noticed that the UCS 10030 Imperial Star Destroyer has an upper body where on the side there are two steps on which a theoretical creature (say about 5 inches in height) would have to climb before it could reach the bridge, however I noticed that on the studio models of episode v star destroyers, there were three steps (see about 4:34 on this video)

).

Is this because they are later models of star destroyers and the original Star Destroyer on which 10030 is based has only two steps, or did TLG just mess up? (because you never really see how many "steps" there are on the original star destroyer)

Thanks a lot to anyone who can answer this possibly confusing question, I really appreciate any help. :)

Are there any holographic minifigs or something that can be used as such?

It could be because 10030 is based on the Star Destroyer seen in ANH, not ESB/ROTJ. 10030 is the Devastator, Darth Vader's ship that chased down the Tantive IV. It's different than the ISDs seen in the later movies. The dead give-away is the communications antenna between the shield radomes; the Devastator's is vertical and the later ships have it horizontal.

My guess (and I'd have to watch the ANH scenes where you can see the Devastator) is that this is why you see 2 steps on the side of 10030 and 3 steps on ESB/ROTJ ships.
