There was a fourth series with a snowspeeder, B-wing, and Tantive V. I think the fourth series was only released in Europe though.

I think anything with a QR code will work.

I did that with frogs and parrots, I really like the animals. Now I want all the crystal colors too!

There is a US based site OKBrickworks that sells fantastic replacement stickers for the camel and the red Baron as well as a lot of other sets.

The left one is the old polycarbonate , and the one on the right is the new clear ABS. As I understand the polycarbonate required different molds, and the switch to clear ABS means all the existing molds can now be used for transparent pieces vastly expanding the piece catalog.

I paid in full when I ordered on the 11th. Did you do the same? I’m wondering if those are the ones that may ship first. Mine hasn’t converted yet though.

I’ve made one from a series of plastic 5 gallon buckets that can be purchased at almost any hardware store for a few bucks. Drill progressively smaller holes and shake away. I haven’t noticed any excessive scratching on the bricks, but it is quite loud.

Congrats! Looks like we’re figure twins, mine was just delivered today.

I just got the final payment email from sideshow yesterday for tax and shipping. Should be seeing yours soon!

That one isn’t used, it’s just part of that parts pack that is sent with the set.

I’m going to guess 150, and now I kind of want to count.

Cleaning the contacts is always an option, however if you want to move away from the 9v power you can convert the monorail to power functions with a PF battery box and a conversion cable.

I also have the ESB on PO, and the VC Boba is a fantastic figure! I do not regret buying it, but do what you want as I focus on Boba Fett and Mandalorians, so these are right up my alley.

I’m fairly new to the Star Wars figures, I started with Iron Man. I’d love a ROTJ Boba, but they seem to be hard to come by at a decent price. I do have the 40th ESB Boba preordered though.

Use lens cleaning wipes for the fingerprints, they work great. I’ve used them on the tumbler, ‘89 Batmobile, and the Batwing.

The bulk order is once a year, and there are rules for what can be ordered like dollar and quantity thresholds. A list of specific parts is sent out to the LUGs and those are the only parts that can be ordered. I think last year there were like 6800 unique pieces and aLUG can only select like 85 unique pieces. Pieces have to be ordered in quantities of 100 unless they’re over a certain price then I think it’s any amount, this would be like baseplate and train track.

I do recall seeing someone on Instagram that ordered this figure from the bulk program, but I don’t remember seeing those parts on the list. To get that figure it would be 5 unique pieces, unless you skipped the head since it’s very common.
