Hmmm at those prices I might let one of mine go.

I didn't include that one as it used to be expensive. But looking up the
price guide, now it actually seems a decent option and readily available.

I was hoping for a new figure too. From all the information I’ve seen so far,
doesn’t look like there are any plans to include him on a set. Im hoping they
change their mind. Maybe give us a set for the hyperspace ring. That would be
a fun build!
|
That would be a cool set! maybe they will do a micro Stardestroyer with the ring
and release Thrawn with it. Perhaps some thing like the Micro Fighters from a
few years ago?
|
Or they will release him as a SDCC exclusive and make it even harder to track
down : (

How do you define 'soon' ? I imagine there will be another one in the
next 20 years.
Or you can make something passable for now, such as this head with the pupils
coloured red and use a white officer uniform.
|
Or a Cad Bane head?
|
LOL to both X D

I reckon that Lego will produce his Star Destroyer next year which will include
him (and hopefully some of those funky Stormtroopers). Everyone knew Thrawn was
coming in Ahsoka, even before the show aired. Lego would have known this too.
I'm pretty sure that Lego would not ignore such a major character. Especially
one they know has a high value mini-fig already.
|
Agreed, those funk storm troopers would be cool : D

Sometimes a couple more sets come later in a subline like this, but not usually.
Way back when they needed to work on sets, it may have still been a secret that
Thrawn would be in the show. But be patient. Thrawn has a movie in development
and may also be in a second season of Ahsoka or 4th season of Mandalorian. He's
not going to flash in this pan.

Yay!

I'm somewhat skeptical. If the new bricks would have caused more carbon emissions
because they require more energy to produce, then wouldn't that be less of
an issue if the energy used to create them was sourced from wind, solar, or nuclear?

If some of those extra steps are during brick production (moulding factories),
then tell me which of these countries are 100% “wind, solar, or nuclear”?
China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Mexico, USA, Vietnam.
My guess is (most of) the extra steps are during the making of the raw material.
So, second question: in which country should the PET be recycled to use 100%
wind, solar, or nuclear?
You have more choice here (lots of more bad choices ).
And then, how do you transport the to-be-recycled PET to this new recycling factory
and how do you transport the recycled pellets to the moulding factories? Without
adding more CO²?
(PET transport should be as CO²-expensive as for ABS (unless the weight is highly
different), so that question should reduce to: Without adding more transport?)
Besides, even if you found a magical country that has 100% wind, solar, or nuclear,
and that could produce the PET (yeah, that small 2-huts island won’t do), neither
wind, solar, or nuclear are 0% CO²: you’re using energy that could be used for
something else, so you’re requiring more energy capacity, so you’re requiring
more wind turbine, solar panel, or nuclear plant to be built, and that’s never
CO²-free.

There's certainly no shortage of plastics that don't get recycled and
are instead stored in a warehouse or other storage facility.
The whole point of making something sustainably recyclable wouldn't be to
make it oil-free, it would actually be to make it take plastics for recycling
into LEGO bricks. Which in turn could themselves be recycled into other plastic
items. Thus completing the cycle.
What TLG wanted was close but not ideal.
They really need to focus their efforts on reducing the amount of waste plastic
that ends up in a landfill because nobody can be bothered to filter it out of
the incoming waste streams.
Just my opinion.
Cheers ...
