Helmets comparison.  DV still looks like it is bubble wrapped.  Definitely should not be put under neon / white / bright studio light

 

 

Am I the only one that thinks that the Vader helmet looks like it is in a good mood?

Seeing them together I think DV helmet is smaller in scale.  Looks like it needs to be 2-3 studs wider to be in scale with the other helmets

You're not a lone.  And several reviewers have said the same.

I agree.  If it was placed next to either of the stormtrooper helmets it would be even more obvious.  And yet it is still the most expensive of all of them.  Kind of puzzling. 

I still like the Boba Fett helmet the most out of all of them.  It might be the coloring as the rest are just so monochromatic.

And as much as I would love to see Rebel Fighter Pilot helmets, they would all end up relying heavily on stickers and I don't think any of them would really look that good in the end.

Oh definitely,

I more mean the eyes on it just look happy. This must be based on the post-destruction of Alderaan Darth Vader.

Maybe it's just me, but the LEGO logo ruins it for me.

I don’t get the appeal of just a helmet. Something macabre about them. A bust would be more interesting but still not my thing.

He has eyelids and rounded cheeks.  Doesn’t look right.

I kind of dig the helmets.  I like how they look on display.  And yes DV stoic face totally has a happy sense to it. 

On a separate note, anybody have 75181 UCS Y-wing they want to get rid of?  Preferably used.

Bad Batch trailer has been released

 

Captain Rex makes an appearance. May see a P2 Rex remake eventually.

Saw Gerrera makes an appearance as well in the trailer. He doesn't seem to be half robot yet.

Will be interesting to see how deep the timeline goes. Could they eventually have a cameo with the Spectre cell before they crossed Aladdin on Lothal?

Now I do, and I'll never be able to unsee that.

'We do what we do' will be the new 'This is the way'.

Interesting interview re: the Forbes article about Disney firing Gina Carano and how it relates to Kennedy.  If true, there is hope...

If it's on YouTube and has all-caps in the title, it's definitely true.

lol, yep.  I guess I should have posted "for entertainment value only".  I still found his interview an interesting take on the Forbes article.  I read that article day two after it was published and wondered why Kennedy was not mentioned in the piece at all.  Pashan (20 years working in Hollywood) has an interesting take on the Forbes article and internal workings of Disney. 

I guess you can claim he has a bone to pick with Disney since they fired him for questioning the approval process when he worked on TRON: Uprising, but he wasn't really attacking Disney.  In fact, I didn't feel like he was attacking anyone.  Again, I found it interesting and thought others might as well.

GOOD POINT

Movie critic reviews of "Star Wars" from 1977.

 

UCS R2-D2 appeared

Very smooth compared to 10225. Much better scale as well.

Look at this one:

dangit...was really hoping for a spring loaded compartment to hold a light saber

 

so Arches vs Studs?

Is the expectation that R2 will be the May the 4th release?

Will BB8 be remade with arches now to match the new R2? *Facepalm*

May 1st release date $199 gets you Tatooine GWP. 

GWP or chance to log in and not get the item with points?

It has it go look at the pics and at only $20 more than 10225 ten years later looks like a good  buy.
