Any EP II key enemies you guys can think of? (For the community build )

As mentioned, Poggle the Lesser is a good choice.

There's also Poggle's lieutanent Sun Fac, who was shot down in his starfighter by Clone Commandos when he tried to escape during the Battle of Geonosis.

That'd be a cool idea, if it weren't for the fact that Delta Squad's mission wasn't shown in the movie itself.

when to expect first 2013 rumours?

when to expect first 2013 rumours?

Early fall is a good guess, we might start to see some pictures leaked from retailer catalogues. At the same time an exclusive set list also sometimes leaks from Lego, giving us the names of the AfoL-focused sets of the next year, including the Star Wars UCS sets.

[The_Chosen_1]

It'll be great to find out what's in store next year. Hopefully we can (finally!) expect some Episode II-themed sets.

[Fuppylodders]

To be fair, who really knows when we will see some 'leaked' pics.

Just look at the B-Wing so far, and Palp's Arrest.

Palp pics wernen't even leaked at all. Just appeared when it suddenly randomly became released in Germany. As for the B-wing, well... I'm sure Cavegod can give us a better idea of that

[Lego Otaku]

Is there any chance of a full Star Wars movies made from LEGO? Clone Wars seems to do fine but it's not LEGO, and we did have mini movie of LEGO version with young Hans.

[LegoSantaMoss]

They should make a ARC trooper battle pack

[Duke of wellington]

I have 9516 and am modding it so there is a pit do you know where I can find a rancor instruction guide to build one.

Don't forget Wat Tambor and San Hill! They only have small speaking roles in the movie, but Wat Tambor's company (Techno Union) has produced many separatist droids and San Hill is the one that turned Qymaen jai Sheelal into the cyborg, General Grevious!

San Hill is a good one!

Thanks! I should start on my chess set

I know that Lego cannot sell mini figures individually due to contracts with Hasbro. Is there a minimum number of pieces per minifigure that is required in each set that makes sure this is not violated? For example, if Lego wanted to do a polybag with a minifigure, would it be required to have at least 30 pieces so that it meets the qualifications of a "building set"?

The 30058 STAP includes a Mini-figure and only has 24 pcs. So I think as long as a set has a dedicated build of any size, it can include a mini-figure.

That question made me wonder...how does TLG get away with things like the Shadow ARF or TC-14? They're just figures. Is it because the figure's given away as a promo, so TLG doesn't directly profit from it?

Seems a logical response. THey're not selling them, so they are not making a business contract with anyone (I guess) thus there is no infringement on 'rights to sell action figures'. (Total ignorance of law, this is just my brain trying to think logically and so I could also be wrong :P)

I had the same thoughts. Prime example is TC-14, there are 3 parts total. No accessories that you could even say were building parts to add to that. It must be because TLG gives them away that they get away with this. Although they do state the "value" ($8... yeah right try buying one at that price!) of the minifig.

[Fighter of Frizzies]

'nother question. Since I've been looking closely at set weight in relationship to price, what is a fair, average measure of price to weight similar to the $0.10 per piece rule most collectors use to determine value?

[Iron-Man]

Is there any thread for people's favorite LEGO Jedi or I guess just Star Wars Minifig? I think it would be neat to see some people's opinions on why they like particular charaters or why they like CW style versus the movie versions and vice versa.

Thanks ahead of time for any help

To those in countries with the summer wave out, I have a few questions. Did Palpatine's Arrest come out at the same time or after the rest of the summer wave? If after, how much later? Did Pre Vizsla's Mandalorian Fighter also come out with the summer wave? I haven't seen any reviews or personal pictures of it and Brickipedia still doesn't have a brick count on the set. Also, to those in the US, do the sets usually come out at several release dates or can we expect the entire summer wave to be released on one date? Thanks in advance!

Hi,

is there any source for replacement stickers or really good scans of the stickers? I've begun to scan the sticker before starting assembly of my sets, but I didn't had the idea back when I started collecting SW Lego. Now, I've rebuilt my USC Tantive IV, but most stickers have come apart and I'd like to print myself a new sheet - anybody got a good scan?

Thanks,

Dennis

I would try bricklink if you want the actual stickers.

I got some replacement stickers on eBay. not as good as the originals but perfectly acceptable.

From this seller: http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/clairstraws

[JopieK]

Well, we don't have Star Wars, but for other sticker you might check our site at www.ministickers.nl (we think we have reasonable pricing and quality is comparable to LEGO). We might be able to reproduce most wanted star wars stickers but currently very busy with my Masters (and Santa Fe has most priority).

[PMJ]

Between these two:

2000 MF

2003 MF

Which one should I take apart?

I recently got the 2000 MF for parts, but I was struck by it's entertaining features and stability.

I got the 2003 MF a little after it came out. It wasn't very stable, so some parts are glued. It still, however, looks much better, IMO, than the '00 one.

I want to take one apart to make military ships.

[LEGOman273]

The 2003 one has more useful parts, but it also looks better. It really depends on pieces v.s. looks.
