Found this SW hat. I searched on BL but couldn’t find a catalog entry anywhere
for this particular item under the ball cap section.

I’m trying to use my insider points from my account on the lego.com website.
I’ve scanned the manuals and got the points, but when I try to access the rewards
from the Rewards Center, it gives me a message saying, “We’re currently in the
process of building more rewards. Stay tuned for more soon!” Does anyone know
how to fix this and get the reward code?

  I was looking through a bulk lot I bought and I think I may have found a misprint.
I see
Part, Minifigure Head 3626bpx119 but the printed hair on the head above the eyes
and eyepatch is missing, as well as the stubble. The picture is a bit blurry
but it looks clear enough to tell that it’s a misprint. Let me know what you
guys think about this.

Parts: Minifigure, Head {Yellow}

There is a hair piece covering where all the printed hair would be. And as far
as the stubble, it may be worn off but can't tell from the photo.

Take a better photo of just the head without the hair piece.

When it arrives I’ll take better photos of it. I do see that the hair is put
on sideways where some of the print on the head should show slightly, but I could
be wrong. Stubble could very well be just worn off, too hard to tell since the
bad quality of the pics.

It wouldn't make sense. Misprints like this typically miss the all the print
of one colour. They don't print the black eyepatch separately to the hair
or stubble.

That’s what I thought. I don’t know if it’s just bad camera quality but I when
I look at that head I see some print missing. It isn’t faded, it just isn’t there.

  Could just be a lighting reflection off of the hair piece that makes it look
like it's part of the face print, especially with it being so low quality

Possibly. It looks like we’ll just have to wait and see until it gets delivered
and then I can get a better look at it. It’s too early to tell since the pictures
I have of it are too low resolution to actually prove anything.

  Could be a head swap since its a bulk lot. I assume someone was playing around
and swapped its head with another figure.

I searched through every single head ever made containing an eyepatch and that
one seemingly doesn’t exist. It should have printed hair on the head above the
eyes and a stubble. Also that’s a mashed up figure (pirates head with an Alpha
Team body)

  Is it possible to replace battery in lightsaber minifigures without damaging
them ?

Does the hood normally come off as the rest of the figure appears fixed, what
colour should it be ?

I have an sw0137 that fails to light

Take the non saber arm off then pry the back off through the arm-hole with a
small screwdriver. Any head accessory should come off. In this case it’s a reddish
brown hood.

Gold has been pretty bad for me. I have a C3-PO with his torso snapped in half,
arms broken (both the joint and the part connected to the hand) and the legs
are broken off the hips. This was barely even touched.

As long time Transformers collector, gold plastic syndrome is a terrible blight
and has me very concerned for pearl gold LEGO pieces.

I find it best to try not to mess with gold or reddish brown parts unless absolutely
necessary. I’m terrified to purchase and build the Ewok Village set because of
it lol!

  I have had a run of Dark red coloured plates and tiles just shattering as you
try and separate them from other parts.
I had test built a set that was going to be listed on here, built it fine and
as I started to dismantle it I had parts of the edge of a 2x4 plate break off
and a 2x12 plate shatter into 4 pieces.
I had also ordered some 1x8 tiles and as they ended up loose in the box (the
bag had split) one of them was in 2 pieces by the time it arrived!

Any ideas as to why it seems to just be the Dark Red that is this bad or does
anybody know of any other colours to be extra careful with?

Does the dragon head sword handle actually attach inside the trophy, or does
it just rest in place?

There’s no connector inside the trophy, so the handle can at most be wedged in
it.

Dragon head is from Ninjago legacy

That has to be one of the worst things ever produced, surprised the Star Wars
idea survived after that disaster.

Did anyone see the whole thing before it was pulled ?

It's available on YouTube. It is one of those to watch at least once.

Whenever I show Star Wars movies to my kids and their friends in our outside
'cinema' (projectorplus garden chairs) I always play the Japanese sea
chicken advert. That always gets a laugh.

I watched it all the way through a few years ago and can confirm it is absolutely
the worst movie/ piece of televised media ever made.

Ugh! I got to the drop down you posted but can’t navigate it. I’m trying to do
the Star Wars figs by most expensive. Any help on getting it to work would be
much appreciated.

I’m trying to figure out if there is a way to sort Minifigures by most expensive.
Is there a way to do this?

  Found this list of sets with the possibility of Chrome Vader. I know some people
myself included don’t own him yet so thought someone could use this list.

7748 Corporate Alliance Tank Droid
7749 Echo Base
8014 Clone Walker Battle Pack
8015 Assassin Droids Battle Pack
8016 Hyena Droid Bomber
8017 Darth Vader's TIE Fighter
8018 Armored Assault Tank (AAT)
8019 Republic Attack Shuttle
8036 Separatists Shuttle
8037 Anakin's Y-Wing Starfighter
8038 The Battle of Endor
8039 Venator-class Republic Attack Cruiser

Anyone who found one in a battle pack please reach out and speak. I’m pretty
skeptical about it appearing in such a small set, although a few sources say
it has been.

Hey man,

This is LifeBricks on YouTube that was brought up within this discussion. I indeed
personally opened up a 2009 Assassin Droid Battle pack back in 2009 and pulled
out a sealed chrome vader. Also back in the day I remember seeing a couple other
people post YouTube videos on them getting it out of the 2 battle packs that
year as well. So speaking from direct personal experience I can confirm they
were placed into atleast some battle packs.

- Tyler

Thanks so much for telling me! Also, love the YouTube channel! Keep up the good
work!

  I'm pretty sure it was C-3PO, not Vader; I remember seeing the video as well
but I can't say who uploaded it

I know it’s been said vader was in battle packs and C-3PO was only possible to
get in the bigger sets, like 7667 MTT for example.
