Maybe someone has mentioned before. I notice the different colour of legs for obiwan kenobi in the magnet sets

Strange and new to me. I own the bottom variant.......

Thanks for the enlightenment, Mr Robogo.

I think that's a new version, the Obi-Wan fig has got a headset, so it's the one who comes in the 7661 Jedi Starfighter set. It's the same minifig, besides of the hood, of course. ;-)

I never really paid much attention to that first wave of magnets unfortunatly |-/ Its weird that they differ though, tks for sharing hehe

I shall move that to our dear SW sub ;-)

*yoda*

All I have to say is; strange.

I bought the bottom variant last year. The top one was bought last week. Both had the same item number and releaase in 2005.

Hmm, that's... strange. :-P

Can someone tell me the difference between a magnet minifig and a normal one? Does it have a large magnet sticking out the back? Or is it inside? Can the pieces be taken apart, etc?

It's entirely the same as a normal fig with two exceptions:

1. The torso cannot separate from the hips

2. The legs each have a tiny bar magnet inserted in them

Actually theree is a magnet bar within the torso as well !! I just discovered that while modding magnet figs to what I thought were "normal" fig !! No sirrrrrrie, my figs all sticked together |-/ Not that it matters a whole lot though ;-)

*yoda*

I wonder if they've always been like that...I guess I never noticed due to not being able to remove the hips :-D Just remember to keep it away from your computer then... 8-| That's the main thing that prevents me from really wanting them :-P

Although that could be some The Force effect too.... 8-|

The torso can't detach due to the magnet being sealed inside. Like the Megabloks figures.

ROFL !!

How come I never thought of that |-/ :-P Pretty cool idea !!

*yoda*

i only have brick magnets, because the fig magnets are very expensive for me

Ahh I see, so there's no external difference and you could place them onto studs no problem?

Cheers!

Weird...

I'd rather get the one on the bottom. X-D
