Mgip21 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Chatted with LEGO and was told only difference was head. Supposedly they are sending me the correct head but that’s it. Didn’t I see the helmet was different also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried back for the helmet but was told out of stock for now try back later. Order status on head says waiting on on new stock.

Billy Brick Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 WELL it too a little discussion over email but it looks like LEGO is going to send me Mr Dallow. They were trying to tell me they removed him from the set to make the set better, but then I corrected them and referenced the article where they actually added him to the set to make the set better. I wouldn't want to resell him, I'm looking forward to the figure and I'm appreciative of LEGO for making my set complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybinx73 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 i just went on lego.com, and chatted with a rep. said i wanted the updated minifigure for this set and they confirmed they will ship it out asap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris_1973 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I'm glad for those who are able to get Finch Dallow. I've reached out a few times but no luck here (say parts [head/helmet] are currently unavailable). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmind Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I would not worry. The set probably comes back in an updated version. Yesterday on SAH EU you could backorder it with 30% discount and expected delivery date in April. I noted also 75190 showed backorder and will ship in April. Too bad did not make a screenshot. So a new production run will be there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm... I think I'll pass as it'll be a race to the bottom now that the cat is out of the bag in most forums. I can't risk being stuck with a Star Wars set.

terrymc4677 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Has anyone started popping seals on recently acquired copies? If so, have you had any luck? Any specific seal codes that seem to contain the updated figure? I purchased five of these online from Target this past December when they were $55ish and am tempted to pop them open to check. It would be nice to know if any particular codes have the fig. By the lack of replies referencing this idea it means the figure is indeed rare or nobody has bothered to check their recently acquired copies. The risk of course is ending up with a bunch of open copies with the old figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a screen shot of the new box front confirming this? I've only seen the picture from the brickset forum link several posts up showing the change on the back of the box with the figures seated in the cockpit. Is the new figure shown on the front in the standard "lineup" with the other figures included? Has anyone physically seen this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true from what I've heard....but it is just hearsay.....supposedly they are putting the fig in the sets now with the old box art, and they will change the box art for the April run....as I said...just hearsay....I am tempted to crack the one I just received from LEGO Shop at Home to test this theory....Sent from my SM-G950U using Brickpicker Forum mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G950U using Brickpicker Forum mobile app I was skeptical too. LEGO CSR told me in chat that the new fig comes in the box with the new front cover box art and is the only one now shipping from SAH. I personally wouldn’t risk opening any of the old boxes to see if the new fig is in there. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G950U using Brickpicker Forum mobile app That's my understanding as well, which is why I'm curious if anyone has opened any they just recently acquired with recent seal codes. Of the five I received from Target in December four are 28R7 and one is 39R7. I'm tempted to open the 39R7 to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
