Praiter Yed Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Just had a quick search round and couldn't find answer - is there a good technique for removing keyrings from chain? I was under the impression they disconnected easily but after a initial tug they don't seem to budge. I guess the alternative is using a small hacksaw so any suggestions welcome on the best way to remove and then fill to look reasonably good. Many thanks Danthebrick I found a link to this Brickshelf tutorial on the Minifig Customisation Workshop forum. Quote
Danthebrick Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Thanks Brickdoctor and Praiter! Will let you know how I go on with my 3 I got on May Fourth, Quote
Ceroknight Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Quick question, Did all the clones follow order 66 or were there some that ran away? It's for my Personal Rides Contest Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted May 13, 2011 Author Posted May 13, 2011 Quick question, Did all the clones follow order 66 or were there some that ran away? It's for my Personal Rides Contest As noted, not all clone troopers obeyed the Order. On Murkhana, Roan Shryne and Olee Starstone were rescued from Order 66 by members of a clone commando unit. Led by Climber, they initially questioned the validity of the order, and even upon confirmation, refused to side with the government over those who had fought alongside them, having developed an affinity for the Jedi. Omega Squad, Delta Squad, and Ordo Skirata did not even hesitate to disobey the order, though all of them feigned compliance to avoid suspicion, as they had already formed doubts about Palpatine and his new Centax Clones. Captain Maze, as well, did not execute Arligan Zey. In all other recorded instances, Commandos and ARC troopers obeyed it.[3] Quote

Hold the fig in one hand and the ring of the keychain in a pair of pliers in the other. Place the chain (as close to the fig as you dare) in the flame of a candle and pull gently. After a few seconds, the pin will slip out! Quote
anti-hero Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 This has probably been A&A'd a million times so I apologize, but is there ANY chance the UCS Falcon will see a rerelease of any kind? Quote
Lego Otaku Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 I'm not sure if this was covered as I'm not going through the last 90 pages. But it was shown several times throughout the 2 trilogy that when someone is cut with a light saber, the wound are cauterized right away. Such as Anakin's hands during his fight with the Count in Ep 2. But in Ep 4, ANH when an alien was causing trouble with Luke, and Obi Wan has to rescue Luke by cutting off the alien's arm, there's a lot of blood on the floor. Was there an "official" explanation why this case is different? Quote
StoutFiles Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) I'm not sure if this was covered as I'm not going through the last 90 pages.

Was there an "official" explanation why this case is different? The correct answer is that Lucas didn't consider cauterizing until after those scenes were filmed. The "official" answer is the angle of the cut, lightsaber energy levels, alien species being cut, etc. Whatever can be made up to have it all make sense, basically. However, there are other instances of blood. If you watch Maul get stabbed, there is a mist of blood. It's better to not think about things like that, it'll drive you crazy.

Yeah, just accept the fact that the Star Wars films are chock full of retcons, both obvious (like this one) and implied (Luke and Leia as siblings). Quote
Brickdoctor Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Not to mention that CGI cauterization wasn't exactly the easiest think in the 1970s. This has probably been A&A'd a million times so I apologize, but is there ANY chance the UCS Falcon will see a rerelease of any kind? Most likely not. To date, no UCS set has been rereleased. Quote

Place the chain (as close to the fig as you dare) in the flame of a candle and pull gently. After a few seconds, the pin will slip out! Wow Skafte! How easy was that?! Was a little sceptical at first but tried it with one of the figures I wasn't that bothered about and it worked after 3 seconds with just the small hole left in the head. Repeated on the new Boba and Aayla keychains and just as easy. Just need to decide whether to use a bit of polyfilla and paint or leave the hole as it is. Obviously not quite as good as the real figure but can't buy every set or get them all at expensive prices off ebay/BL! Thanks for the tip. Quote
Hollander Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 I have a question about the contests. When someone comes up with the idea of an contest, will the rules of the contest be posted in an topic here at the Star Wars section of Eurobricks? And do I have to register on another website to post my pics there or will the contest take place only on this forum? Quote

If I got your question right, members can suggest contest ideas in Watto's Junkyard Discussions, where the staff will put these ideas into consideration for possible future contests. Members cannot run their own contest here in EB without the proper coordination and approval of the staff. Quote

Jedi master Brick Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Do any of you have problems with your atte because my friends has problems with the front and mine has problems with the back Quote
Fallenangel Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Do any of you have problems with your atte because my friends has problems with the front and mine has problems with the back The Legonater does: Finally I get to make fun of what's always bugged me about the new AT-TE: Quote
The Legonater Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 The Legonater does: I don't think that's what he's asking. Is it? Quote
sok117 Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Do any of you have problems with your AT-TE? Because my friend has problems with the front and I have problems with the back. specifically what part do you have a problem with? Quote
Fallenangel Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Alternatively: ...because my friend's has problems with the front and mine has problems with the back. Changes the meaning of the sentence doesn't it now? Maybe more people need to read this. Quote

Jedi master Brick Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 I know summer-wave's not even out yet,but when do we usually get info/rumours about the upcoming winter(or spring?)wave? Sorry but no rumors as such. My question is do peole have problems with their ATTE or is it just my dodgy building? Quote
Brickdoctor Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 I know summer-wave's not even out yet,but when do we usually get info/rumours about the upcoming winter(or spring?)wave? You mean the 2012 Winter Wave? We'll probably see rumors later this year. (around August-September) Quote
