We all know them, We all hate them.

Lazy ass Lego sets.

ASHOKA'S LIGHTSABERS ARE WHITE/COLORLESS!
They hate Ashoka, apparently.

ITS NOT EVEN THAT HARD TO MAKE A MECHANISM TO MAKE THOSE WINGS MOVE LIKE THEY DID IN THE MOVIE!

It's not, but no toy version of Ren's shuttle has a moving feature. It was probably a last minute addition to the ship that did not get to the toy producers in time to fix it.

However, as someone who did mod the shuttle to have movable wings, I really got to give the Lego designers credit for making the static version an easier build (for younglings) and still very stable. The things I did adding in the giant hinges, while still legal builds, are way too complicated for younger people to do.

In the case of the shuttle, it's been gone over a thousand times. Unfortunate but it makes sense.

Adult Ahsoka is a bit lazy, that second image is young Ahsoka and I haven't seen much of CW but doesn't she have green sabers at some point?

It'd be pretty hard to make a decent white lightsaber piece without it just being GitD. And there's not even a trans yellow-green color in Lego right now.

Also, there's a perfectly good Lego General thread up right now.

There is a shorter "lightsaber" piece though?
It's with the minifigure collections with the characters with guns- space guys/aliens and robots have them.
No yellow green one though.

Lego may not have had them developed by then.

Pretty sure the blind bag grey alien came out before the second clone wars era Ahsoka.

I just use one of the old lightsaber blades before they came out with the modern green one. Works well enough, though I didn't bother trying to shorten it.

Old Legoland/town sets. Space factions like Mtron, RockRaiders, etc.

>>6115924
Some specific retired themes are much rarer than others. I was just looking at old Airport sets and promo tie in sets the other day and they cost a pretty penny next to the more recent/surplus themes like Johnny Thunder.

But practically every toy made for the launch was from art, script, animatics, screeners, etc.
That isn't tightlipped at all. They just sign nondisclosure agreements and then get fucked over when scenes are cut from the movie three months before its released.

How well did these things sell anyway?

Shouldn't there be some kind of agreement that the stuff you are licensing will at least be in the movie for a second or else you get some of your money back?

Also why doesn't Disney like tell them immediately when details are changed (like Kylo's shuttle being black). Licensors sound shitty lol.

You actually see them in the film.... from a million miles away.

Still a cool set though, and I didn't see an excess of them in stores like literally every other bullshit overpriced sets that wave had.
