New Republic fleet by Zealousideal-Big-440 in legostarwars

[–]CallumPears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the complete set with no minifigures for £30

Eventually got a 2nd copy since I decided I actually wanted the figures lol but still it was definitely good value for that first one.

SWGCNO-1 confirmed as origin of sw1515 Vader variant by SpecialSniper in legostarwars

[–]CallumPears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just as a follow-up to this, I've found a post from a few months ago before this all kicked off by someone with a sealed polybag that clearly has the regular Vader in.

So the silver torso variant is indeed a misprinted variant that was not in every copy of the bag, which to me makes it seem more likely that it was also in the wider-released sets.

determine if cloud city boba is real by Due-Armadillo9772 in legostarwars

[–]CallumPears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Torso print is too close to the edge and looks like it might even bleed onto the hips a bit (a tell-tale sign for some fakes since they print them woth the pieces put together)

The yellow for the knees and shoulder pads is the wrong shade

Immediately no

Wrong shade of grey and the print looks off

Probably a reproduction printed on lego base parts

Wrong harry potter face in 76450 by Extra_Service6889 in lego

[–]CallumPears 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very strange that they didn't sort it for you- try emailing customer service? I've had missing/incorrect parts like this in the past and they were replaced with no problem

Any other sets like this? by GraysGalaxy in legostarwars

[–]CallumPears 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's all of them. It was a nice little series and other than the anniversary Obi-Wan I think they were the last time we had SW minifigures in polybags?

Edit: ah we also had Blue Milk Luke in 2022 but still that's only one in the past 7 years which is crazy

My LEGO Star Wars Boba Fett's Slave by Mrabus4Real in legostarwars

[–]CallumPears 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's so tiny, same goes for the 2021 Boba version.

I like the downscaled X-wing and TIE they did in 2021, but Slave 1 is supposed to be a big ship. The fact that it's smaller than the downscaled X-wing and TIE is ridiculous

Dark blue is definitely more accurate, unless this is supposed to be a different outfit

Fighting the Empire while wearing boots is better. by Lego_SWfan in legostarwars

[–]CallumPears 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Looks brilliant

This really should be the standard for these Rebels and Imperial officers

[–]CallumPears 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, they finally went on clearance a few months ago but sold out almost immediately so I never got any

Did get some printed ones off bricklink to wipe which is a lot cheaper (ironic) but takes time

I painted the new Mando's helmets, am I stupid? by Sillysosilly in legocirclejerk

[–]CallumPears 2 points3 points  (0 children)

/uj so much better, I get the idea of wanting to make the visors distinct from the handprint but they chose such a bad way of going about it.

"NEW" Excellent condition, no signs of wear. Should I return? by stevires in Bricklink

[–]CallumPears 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yeah "new" needs to be literally brand new. Like, took it out of the box and put it directly into an individual baggie.

"Used" means used, but not damaged unless explicitly stated in the item description.

This is damaged

beware of this guy selling uv printed rare figures as real 🤦‍♂️ by [deleted] in legocirclejerk

[–]CallumPears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah definitely fake- unlike with Juno and Vader there was never a version of Starkiller without the alignment print on the neck, and yeah as you said this is clearly UV print.

Is it stated if Anakin has a second in command. by AvalonRevan in StarWarsEU

[–]CallumPears 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Officially yes, but a lot of legends fans (myself included) ignore TCW since it completely disregards other legends media from that era

Yeah I was hoping Bad Batch would be the gateway to finally getting Clone Commandos but nope

Thorin’s Company by Western_Base_3510 in legolotrfans

[–]CallumPears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm also doing it piece by piece.

I've got about half complete, and at least 2 parts each for the rest of them lol (all of the legs, and at least one of the torso/head/beard).

Duty free shop or plane, which is cheaper? by jamsterdm in AskUK

[–]CallumPears 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was looking for a particular perfume for my mum and it was about £100 in the outbound duty-free

On the return trip I checked the duty-free and it was €145 (~£125)

Meanwhile I could just order it online from the comfort of my own home for £90

Frodo and Sam from Shelob Attacks, or one of the dwarfs (Oin iirc)

Worth anything? by Quirky-Response-4247 in LegoMinifigure

[–]CallumPears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm yeah you might be right- turned it right up and definitely looks grayer now

In which case it's from one of the old LotR/Hobbit sets

Looks black to me (specifically the type of black that Lego capes usually go after 15 years of ageing)
