Did anyone else miss the Emperor being in DS1 ?

Are there two different emperors royal guards? How come it isn't emperors royal guard x 2.

My guess is that Lego thinks it looks cooler to have the Emperor flanked by his two guards.

Aaand they're right. It looks way cooler.

All the comments on the FB pages about Lego are the problem "oh cool new DS" "I'm so getting this" sheep to the slaughter...

If ANYONE is interested in a new DS buy a 2nd 10188 and add a cheese wedge and save 100 dollars..

People need to boycott this set to teach Lego a lesson...it's a toy company yes but the collectors, AFOL, parents, etc have the money and this stunt (2 times in one year) won't work

Just received the Fall 2016 Lego catalog. It shows the death star and it is all true. And it says it comes with 23 minifigs !

Picture? 

Picture? 

My catalog didn't have it but then again I thought the leaked pics were fake so I'm not the best eye witness. [emoji41]

Me too. Hard fail on my part. Couldn't imagine the real set looked as wonky as those photos.

Except it does.

Am I the only one getting the irony in adovcates of reselling LEGO complaining that the new 10188 (with updated figures and building techniques) is not worth 100.00 more than the 75159(an inferior product) that they felt/hoped would be worth well more than the retail price they paid  + 100.00 after its retirement?

I'm sitting here, talking about LEGO and Death Stars....and you're telling me, "I'm funny". What does that mean....."I'm funny".  How the **** am I "funny" to you?  You mean, like I'm here for your amusement or something?

I thought it was.  I'd figure a  guy with Michael Corleone as his avatar would be keen to a pivotal scene in the second or third greatest mob movie of all time.

I almost had him, I almost had him. Ya stuttering ***** ya. Frankie, was he shaking? I wonder about you sometimes, Henry. You may fold under questioning.

Looking at that minifigure picture, I only see Tarkin, the Imperial Droids, and Princess Leia as somewhat exclusive.  All the other figures are in existing sets, or sets coming out in the next year.  This alone is not a sales point for me.  I can easily bricklink the cheese wedges and few extra parts that will make the set more stable and add it to the existing one.  In fact I probably already have them in my inventory.

Then all my son has to do if he wants to make it look more "modern" is pull the minifigs from the cantina, final jedi duel, Imperial Star Destroyer, Death Star Troopers Battlepack, and Droid escape pod.  Chewbacca can come from either the droid gunship or new falcon, and Han Solo and the Imperial Navy Officer come with the series 1 microfighters (ok ok there's a new hair piece).  

Since we have all those sets, buying this to justify 4 minifigures seems a little silly.  Old Tarkin can just be the substitute.  And those astromech and death star droids are not that important.

Picture? 

Thanks!
