What happened to Star Wars minifig codes sw1144 & sw1146? Are we just skipping
numbers now, as neither of them exist!
I don’t get why Yoda was changed from sw1144 to sw1145 for no apparent reason?

I’d like to know why they changed it to sw1147? What was wrong with sw1144?
Poe (sw0737a) is now sw1145 but what happened sw1146?

  This yoda is from the atlas book that I just received. The yoda is in a clamshell
in front of the book with a camera, walking stick, map, and backpack. The yoda
was assembled already. My question is that I see the picture of sw1144 with the
backpack on but it was not assembled that way on the clamshell—do we need another
picture of yoda without backpack or just let it be?

There are dozens of minifig heads that are produced in other non standard colours,
known as test prints.
Produced in batches and given away by Lego which then make their way into the
market.

  I’m also aware of the rare white head Jek-14, would it be worth adding a new
minifig variant to the catalog?

Couldn't it be test print only?

I have one in my collection and have been confused for years. I have been searching
for information about it but have found none. I originally thought it was a
head to another minifigure completely but it pops up on bricklink under jek.
You have to piece him out and look up just his head but the white variant is
present.

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=3626cpb1012&colorID=1

Does anyone know any information on this head or where it came from?

Also, these helmet/hair variants are just crazy....
sw0737 even comes with a helmet in the set, it’s just not shown wearing it on
the instructions.
The new entry should be labelled as without hair.

Same goes for the Jek-14 fig sw0475a, it’s the same fig as sw0475 just without
hair.

The rules need to be reviewed for figs that have either helmet or hair, or indeed
both.

  It’s my opinion that this new version of Poe should be sw1144, as it’s not a
variant of sw0737 (although they’re the same). A variant with ‘a’ on the end
suggests it could come from the same set, which this does not.
I tried submitting a change request to sw1144 but that was pending for the upcoming
Blue Milk Luke fig (my submission), which I have now changed to sw1146, making
sw1144 available again for randyf to amend his change request, should he wish.
I noticed the fig was originally added under sw1144 but was then changed, this
is wrong imo.

In the past we often had Minifigures that had both helmet and hair piece but
they were only listed once in the catalog e.g. sw0416, sw0772, sw0407 ...
Why is Poe now listed twice as sw0737 with hair and as sw0737a with helmet?

Ok, thanks for the update.
I must admit the whole SW minifig database has gotten a little silly with it’s
rules on what is classed as a minifig & it certainly does need tidying up in
my opinion.
But a daunting task lies ahead should you decide to issue new guidelines!

We are discussing and writing new figure guidelines. One of the discussion points
is whether inanimate objects such as snowmen, scarecrows, statues, figureheads,
etc. of sets should have ever been considered figures and/or should have catalog
entries moving forward. That is why these are being held up.

Cheers,
Randy

Please can these two pending SW minifigs (sw1133x & sw1134x) be approved?
Thanks.

You're welcome to submit this item to the catalog. We'll consider/discuss
it and get back with you with an answer.

Would the two carbonite charatcers from the Razor Crest set qualify as minifigs,
if they’re just stickers applied to bricks?
Personally I don’t believe they should and can probably answer my own question
by referring to the Palpatine hologram sticker brick from 6211
Just thought I’d ask the question, seeing as the Han Solo carbonite parts have
minifig entries.

Also happens when typing a set number and selecting the top item in the preview
list.

  Has anyone else noticed when searching for a set number and pressing enter it
takes you straight to the original box entry, rather than the set entry?
Example being set 31200 (SW The Sith), where as seller has ended up listing a
BNIB set under the original box, presumably due to this search anomoly?
