To kick off the thread, would like to let you know that LEGO's having huge markoffs on many of their Star Wars LEGO products at their website.

I love Lego Star Wars. I have a minifig character, Manikan Piewalker who I use with all my lego stuff. I've been looking for the Stormtrooper transport set, with the four mini-ffigs and the little ship, but I have had no luck. I also just recently lost my LEGO darth Vader's Helmet.

I wish they made boxes of just the mini-figs. Due to the awesomeness that is the Lego Star Wars game, my daughter wants the figures, but she doesn't want the ships. I'm sure she's not alone.

So how do we let Lego know this so they can get on this right away?

Do you have a pic of Manikan? Quote:
Before that I used to see lots of SW Lego sets discounted because the minifigs ripped out of the boxes and stolen I know how it is with your daughter, because it was exactly the same with my young son. (Now he wants those huge expensive sets, lol)

He's basically Darth Sidious, minus the cape and hood, with an Ep2 Anakin headand one black right hand. (the story goes that robot hands were "in" and so he had 3-Cpo cut his hand off for him. He's not too bright) His BFF was Darth Vader, but he's lost his helmet and nobody really wants to look a him, so he had a bag over his head, but I lost that too so everybody's sad. (except Manikan, who's always grinning like a loon)

Thank you for the photographic description, I can clearly see him
While we are on the minifig subject, which one is the rarest/most expensive SW minifig (on eBay)? I know Jango fetches lots of money, anyone else? (My older son has just won Scout Trooper w/Speeder bike for about AU$22 shipped with his Bday money, and I think it was a good buy.)

Has anyone found this? It looks really cool, only lacking a Proxy minifig to be complete.

Thanks for the pic.
I am pretty sure I saw that set a while ago. Looks nice, but I haven't played the game and don't feel familiar with it.

Yeah, that's one of the reasons I want it. I played the game and I love the design of the ship. Would've been cooler if Vader actually had a battle damaged helmet.

I haven't actually played the game, but read about the events and how it tied into Star Wars and such on Star Wars Wikia a while ago. The Rogue Shadow was the predecessor to the TIE vehicles right?

Since they both existed at the same time, I don't find it likely. The Rouge Shadow is also a totally different class of vehicle, acting more as a shuttle, and it has it's own Hyperdrive.

And everyone wants just figure packs but the problem is LEGO's license doesn't allow them to make figure packs as that's Hasbro territory. Even the battle packs need to have a certain number of pieces to qualify them as a building set rather than a figure set which is why they all come with little vehicles. |

I was just looking at some of my mini-kits yesterday. They were only 5 dollars new. If Lego were smart, they could release the same mini-kits that are in the game ( the ones you build by collecting the pieces in each board ) but with mini-figs in with each one. They'd be under $10 each and fans of the games could have a goal to collect. Get all 30 mini-kits and the best 30 mini-figs.
Now somebody point the Lego folks in the direction of this post...

I picked up a MagnaGuard Starfighter at Toys R' Us!
Although the Starfighter is great, the two new MagnaGuard minifigures are awesome!

Cool little guys! I hope if they make a Grievous set they give him new legs.
