Venkefedo Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 I think you meant Plo Koon's? Sounds like a bit of a generous estimate to me, the previous fighters were around the 200+ pieces range - well I'm hoping for the best! Nope, he meant Saesee Tiin's... the design of the build, not the color pattern of the fighter. Quote
joelwuj Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Nope, he meant Saesee Tiin's... the design of the build, not the color pattern of the fighter. I see what he meant now! Thanks for the clarification. Quote
GeneralLego Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 I wonder why Sabine's minifigure has light nougat skin. It's more of a tan colour in Rebels. Quote
Venkefedo Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) Good question... maybe Lego didn't want to run heads & arms in tan or dark tan for her (tho Chima should've provided enough heads and arms in either color), due to cost or a decision that her skin tone wasn't distinct enough to warrant it?

Artanis I Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 The other SW minifigs with tan coloured skin (Luminara Unduli, Barriss Offee) look a bit green next to fleshies. Maybe they didn't think it would quite work. Honestly I think those 2 jedi should've been olive green, but that wasn't around back then and sand green wouldn't've looked good on them. Quote
hjmediastudios Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 I believe Barriss Offee and Luminara Unduli actually have a pale greenish skin, not tan. At least the most recent non-CW Barriss seems to be a pale yellow-green. Quote
rollermonkey Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 MUCH better views of the AT-DPs in the second episode of Rebels, and I didn't see the yellow bits we've seen on the sets... Maybe/hopefully they'll be able to fix it before release. Lots of ep. IV throwbacks... but I won't spoil it for you. Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Actually i just looked at the concept art work for the AT-DP http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140908103213/disney/images/7/79/AT-DP_Concept_Art_2.jpg.....and there is yellow trim in places on it, though not as much as in the Lego one.....but hey, it's a kid's toy as AFOL's can fix it right ?

Fives Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Its a shame that LEGO didn't make a Bo-Rifle mold. Making a decent one out of existing parts is hard. Any suggestions? Quote
Venkefedo Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 It changes sizes so drastically... For the extended version I think flick-fires with jewels on the ends might work... For the body it'd need saber hilts or telescopes for the missiles to plug into Quote
Fives Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Yeah, I currently have Zeb wielding one using one flick-fire and one lightsaber hilt with pink jewels, but I'm gonna do some tinkering this weekend and see what I come up with. Quote
Snowspeeder Pilot Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) I can't take the image of those helmets in gray (Rebel Pilot - T-16 Pilot) from my mind. Edited October 14, 2014 by Snowspeeder Pilot Quote
Venkefedo Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Realizing flick-fires are kinda long, I quickly tried a build as in the Ghost & AT-DP sets with two more saber hilts attached to the blaster barrels, and jewels in those... still felt super long. So I tried the shorter pistols instead, still long. Thinking more about it after leaving my Lego behind for work, the challenge is having a grip near the middle, but also at least one pistol grip for rifle-mode... for 'bo' mode, a saber hilt with 2 flick-fires on either end might work just fine, tho perhaps too close to a Magnaguard staff. If the long rifle had a bar-end rather than the stock like the smaller blasters, it might work; another option is the nozzle piece, like Jango's blasters, in black with saber hilts on either end; it's got a pistol grip, but no scope to prevent a minifig gripping the barrel. Not perfect by any means, and the pistol grip is more centered than I think the actual bo-rifle grip(s) should be, but it's an option... Quote
Bycougars Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 All I have to say is what a disappointing wave of sets. I know they are trying to target the younger generation with this wave, but they could have done a lot better. Quote

I was thinking that the Jango pistol piece would be the best option. Unfortunately, I'm not near most of my LEGO collection till saturday, so I'll test whatever comes to mind. Quote
OHarra Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 I'm not very sure about this vawe too. But my grandson likes them all, especially AAT, so we'll have to get them anyway ... Quote

I don't know exactly how it's supposed to look like, but did you already try a bar 4L with technic pins on either end; for the grip just a bar 1L with mechanical claw? Quote
Darth Mallet Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Wasnt Just2good going to put up an image of a TRU poster? Did i miss it? Quote
Cyberbricker Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 I don't think so. He will post it when he had the time. Quote

Robianco Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Give it a month or so and Brickforge or someone similar will have a nice new mould for it. That's where my Fett carbine, Gaffi stick and Jawa Ion Blaster come from. Quote

That's where my Fett carbine, Gaffi stick and Jawa Ion Blaster come from. Hopefully they make a rifle version and a staff version (with hollow studs at the end to put jewels or whatever we want to indicate the stun energy)... I nabbed several Scout Pistols from BF recently; they're still on sale for under $0.25 each, along with the "Robot Blaster" aka Battle Droid gun. Now I've got several short Lego blasters available for my non-Scout Trooper minifigs! Quote
The-Nexu Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Could someone please describe the boe rifle / staff to me. I would just use the picture but, you know, blind. I'll then see what I can do. I've already got several ideas. Great, now I actually want to buy a zeb or a agent callus minifigure just to give him a custom rifle / staff. Maybe I will get the atdp with minifigures. Quote

It is a black lightsaber hilt with two blaster coming out of each end. The actual version is a little hard to explain. It is basically a long stick with two energy "things" at each end. There are also some little "things" along the stick. Hope that helps! Quote
