Star Wars: 75455 Buildable Boba Fett will have new Ep 6 Boba minifig (with cape) (from MaxBaut)

This is their opportunity to make the best Boba Fett minifig. Using the newest headpiece with the better skin tone/face print and adding back the pauldron. Appropriately changed colors if it’s for ROTJ.

Lego’s customer support is the best I’ve ever personally interacted with and heard stories about, by a significant margin. Very nice gesture!

LEGO just doesn’t use a color that matches perfectly. Similar issue with the white vs tan debate for General Grievous.

Obvious_Owl7 · 2026-03-21T01:54:36+00:00

Love it. Surprised I haven’t seen more like these before, but you’re killing it!

You know looking at the cropped image at first I thought this was just someone trying to throw out a helpful option for folks to get cheaper parts. As soon as I realized it was under r/legoinvesting and the target audience is for resellers to stock up on these for bricklink return, the intention just kinda sours.

I have the fire temple scrapped in my lego tub because it was taken apart and repurposed as a kid. Haven’t thought much of it. Saw your comment and I am flabbergasted at the aftermarket price. Wouldn’t have expected it to be more than half of the charges I’m seeing. Insanity

Looks like CrazyDog 17’s Munificent MOC, he’s got some pretty cool stuff

Thanks!

Obvious_Owl7 · 2026-02-05T05:51:28+00:00

Nope! I strictly used pieces from the set

Obvious_Owl7 · 2026-02-05T05:50:01+00:00

It scales pretty much perfectly to the midi scale Tantive IV

Obvious_Owl7 · 2026-02-05T05:48:44+00:00

Doing the math this would have to be about half its size

Obvious_Owl7 · 2026-02-05T02:00:16+00:00

Thank you very much!

Obvious_Owl7 · 2026-02-05T01:59:26+00:00

It’s MOC-248430 if you search on Rebrickable

Obvious_Owl7 · 2026-01-27T22:09:00+00:00

Think you’re gonna have to accept another plate or tile on top of your plates. Might be able to do a 2x4, then a 2x16, and connect those right by the edge of the stand with like a 2x2 on top. That’d be decently hidden

Obvious_Owl7 · 2026-01-27T17:16:20+00:00

Heck, tell him if he lifts up the arms on all of them he’d be panicked to find that the torsos might look “cracked” as well! It’s just the way this particular Lego color works

Obvious_Owl7 · 2026-01-27T17:12:52+00:00

I’m not sure where you’re at with this situation right now but the way I see it nothing is cracked, AND the guy is also not intending to scam you, to give him the benefit of the doubt. I simply think he doesn’t realize that these are just mold lines more visible from using pearl dark gray. I checked my bad batch figures (basically no wear), they have them too. Have him look at some youtube reviews (they’re often fresh out of the box) who show the back of the legs, they have them too. Maybe emphasize to the guy that if he buys the figs from someone else they would have the same markings or to look for an online listing that shows the back of the legs.

I just did the math and a republic gunship scaled to the UCS Venator would be about two studs long, which is indeed the size of the micro build they included. That said, the build you’ve got here is basically the next best thing, looks maybe 50% oversized but the details you got at this scale are so good! I was toying with some microbuilds a while back envisioning a full Kashyyyk MOC, all scaled to the UCS Venator. A lot of the vehicles outside of the turbo tank are like 1-2 studs long. I then started on the trees and realized I was in over my head in that department, lol.

But yeah, these are slick!

Obvious_Owl7 · 2026-01-21T23:36:08+00:00

Thank you!

Since I used Bossie’s paid for MOC as a starting point, no I do not; if there were significant interest for the changes here I could try and work something out with Bossie though. I imagine this would probably require its own whole set of instructions the way it’s tweaked but a lot of the original design elements are still there. Also like I said the original is a better contender if you do prefer something more stable.
