As promised I have the new “Slave 1″ set figs, (thanks Bonnie!);
It goes without saying that this new Boba Fett design is just awesome and I can see in the future a cross between this and the Cloud City version – that would be rather special. Also we have Bossk that’s very good as well if only really for the head which is brilliantly detailed. Finally Han which apart from the welcomed new face design is quite disappointing as for me the torso is a mess.
Finally here is the Hoth Luke in his second appearance for 2010, (third to appear with the new AT-AT). Overall a pretty good fig with a unique torso differing from the newer Hoth troopers.
Most of the figs have multiple views within their respected pages.

Coming soon I should have the new Boba Fett, Bossk and I already have the new Han from the 2010 “Slave1″ set. Also I should have the new Hoth Luke from the “Wampa Cave” set.
Fig updates aside, I’m continuing to update the site, converting all the old html content into WordPress php. So far I haven’t managed to crash the site again and will try not to, this is all new to me and quite a learning curve.

Finally, I get around to adding some figs to the collection, unfortunately thanks to recently released 2010 Slave1 set, I was nearly in a position to say I had the lot! Oh well, will have to wait till the prices drop a little and go “bounty hunting” for the new Boba and for Bossk.
From the “Landspeeder” set 8092, both Ben and Luke here have the WDP syndrome, (white dotted pupils).
Here are three Darth‘s and for now the character section is complete. The first here is an alternative version from the Imperial Inspection set. The second is the Light-Up sabre version. The final one is unknown, it’s not listed to any set that I can find and has the WDP eyes.
With the newly designed helmet, this Tie Fighter Pilot is vastly improved.
Finally, we have a WDP Ceremonial Luke, did the Lego Visual Dictionary by DK books go into reprint and Lego had to make more? Lastly we have the Concept version of Boba Fett, apart from the torso decal, this is like a blank canvassed version available via “Toy Fair” 2010 convention.
Well it’s been an interesting week, I’ve changed the index page from HTML to PHP using WordPress, the rest of the site has remained the same. This is the third attempt to finalize the look, WordPress seems quite temperamental if you play about too much with it, so I can’t guarantee there’ll won’t be a few more hic-cups alone the way.
That aside, I’m waiting on a couple of figs to arrive and I’ll have a massive update, figs include; Ben and Luke from the 2010 Landspeeder set, A couple of Vaders completing that character section. An alt version of the Luke celebration, (we’re moving into a phenomenon I’m labelling the white dotted pupils (WDP)), this is where Lego are dotting all the eye’s creating new variants on new set released characters. And finally this guy…
This fellow was/is available via “Toy Fair” convention, it’s a concept version of Boba Fett celebrating the 30th Anniversry of ESB. Initially on eBay these were fetching in the region of £50-55, but if the rumour is true that 20,000 units were made, I’d imagine prices to slowly drop like the 2009 Darth Vader special edition did.
