| I am getting frustrated with the Catalog not being updated. I have a Death Star
UCS 10188 set. It had some minifigures missing which I am trying to replace.
In particular 2 Imperial Troopers with Black Helmets and Thick Black Circles
on the Silver Belt Buckle. I have purchased 3 Imperial Troopers so far and they
all have different Torso's. It's an Unlucky Dip as to what Torso they
have.
I have
1. Large Black Circle on the Silver Belt Buckle.
2. Thin Black Circle on a Heavy Painted Silver Metallic Belt Buckle.
3. No Black Circle at all.
Picture is attached.
Members are telling me that they are either Misprints or Play Wear. The Black
Circle isn't printed, it's the Background Colour of the Minifigure. The
Silver is printed. On the Thin Black Belt Buckle the Silver is Thickly painted
and a Metallic colour. So it's not a Misprint. Neither is it play wear because
it can't wear off.
I have tried to contact sellers before buying a Forth one, and they didn't
know. I have asked for a Photo of the Imperial Trooper, and only one has replied.
They had the Thin Black Circle version. In the means time most of the Imperial
Troopers for sale have been sold. There are only 2 left and only one seller replies
to emails.
I have spent over 6 months, and over $50 trying to replace these minifigures.
And I could spend another $30 in buying a forth one because they seem to be rare.
The three versions do exist and can be found around the net, and on Lego's
Boxes and Instruction manuals.
So why aren't they listed in the catalog to prevent Buyers getting frustrated
and Sellers having to refund items when it's not either of their faults.
Just as a side note, if you think that they don't exist then look at the
parts break down of the sw0208 Imperial Trooper. The Torso as the Thin Black
Circle.
Sorry for ranting.
Ian.
