    Yeah, it's only the second tile to be made the first being in Mighty Micros Star-Lord vs. Nebula if I'm not mistaken.

    Just because it’s supposed to be stupid doesn’t mean it isn’t still stupid. It makes it even worse, IMO, because it’s stupid and unfunny.

    Is it even humor? Or a pun? It's just unfunny. ""Whatever I wanna be" do-ho-ho I get it because she an be whatever she wants because she's Lego!"

    Well, she is explicitly a shapeshifter, even within the context of Lego.

    It's nice, but they are almost all 20% off at Amazon already. If only Lego store would price match...

    I know there'll be more to come but does anyone have a current pick for a definitive Vader and ROTJ Luke? The one you consider your ideal look or would take a lot for you to replace with a new version?

    Though Luke's irritating to pick from between his Jabba's Palace look, the Vader battle look, and the... folded down triangle look.

    And has there ever been a Vader with a smiling gray head inside the helmet?

    Let me know which set they're from if you can.

    Pretty sure smiling gray head is the new default. Just got an Empire Strikes Back set with that under the helmet (Cloud City).

    Was going to leave it at that but this is the Bricklink for the Vader I'm talking about. If you're not familiar just click on '6 Parts' to see the smiling head and 'Sets' to see what it comes in. That also has the new mold helmet that comes apart in two pieces and is probably a bit more accurate.

    BrickLink - Minifig sw0636b : Lego Darth Vader - Type 2 Helmet, Spongy Cape [Star Wars] - BrickLink Reference Catalog{%22iconly%22:0}

    The below link is for all Darth Vader's using that head, I know the Rebels one has a different torso print to represent his appearance in the show/New Hope but not sure what the third figure is doing different. Anything else will have a different face and probably a different helmet.
    BrickLink - Part 3626cpb1396 : Lego Minifigure, Head Pink Sunken Eyes, Wrinkles, Scar and Two Large Scars on Back Pattern (SW Darth Vader) - Hollow Stud [Minifigure, Head] - BrickLink Reference Catalog{%22color%22:1,%22iconly%22:0}

    Luke is probably either down to preference or if it's more convenient to just buy a retired set for you, that Vader comes with a Luke here.

    BrickLink - Set 75093-1 : Lego Death Star Final Duel [Star Wars:Star Wars Episode 4/5/6] - BrickLink Reference Catalog{%22iconly%22:0}

    Luke seems like personal preference, my preference is Bespin so that doesn't help.
    Folded triangle belongs to the 2013 Ewok Village off memory and the tunic would be the Rancor Pit and possibly one of the other Jabba sets from 2012-2013.

    I am guessing you have not seen the move?

    It’s not a joke or a pun, it is a result of something Finn tells his little sister

    honestly her name is really no different than the names of relic weapons in the first one, sweet mayhem being from the systar system, or the second apocalypse called "Our-Mom-Ageddon". even naming the main henchman bad cop was similar.

    i think they gave them all these names to get a "do-ho-ho i get it" reaction. it's not like they're trying to make you ponder existence. the entirety of the lego movies are meant to be a kid's imagination playing with legos.
