I think that the only Lego sets I own are a Darth Vader and an Iron Man, both action figure-sized.

[Harvonsgard]

That's way too few.

[Harvonsgard]

Besides cards and Lego I do collect Lego ephemera as well. I got some 2020 catalogues lately and oh bwoi...
Let me say first that I like Star Wars, as a popcorn franchise. It entertains me but I wouldn't call myself a fan. I never went to the movies and just watched them either online or on tv. Lego Star Wars is out for ages and there are literally hundreds of sets released - I own of them. But now I found this:

I FRIGGIN' NEED THIS IN MI LIFE

Can some more educated on Star Wars shed some light on the fact that Major Vonreg's spaceship is called a Tie Fighter despite it appearantly having the shape of a Tie Interceptor? Is this just Lego being bad or is it called in the series fighter as well?

Edit: appearantly Lego just fuked up. On the fandom Star Wars wiki it always says Interceptor for the model that Vonreg flys. BOOOOOOOOOO LEGO!

[MagikFingerz]

I'm guessing "TIE fighter" is just used colloquially here, as in "TIE Interceptors and TIE Defenders are types of TIE fighters".

[Harvonsgard]

Possible but they used the terms of the types (defender, advanced, bomber, fighter, interceptor) correctly in the past. Maybe they fired the fellow who had a clue and since 2020 someone without one is responsible for the set names.

I have too many hobbies already to get into Lego.

[Eric Lee]

Does it actually fire real projectiles? And it comes with 4 figs? That's a pretty cool set.

[Harvonsgard]

Yup. Has two shooters. The green lasers on the box are renders but the red thing you see close to the Disney logo, is a transred piece that you can shoot around.

Understandable and absolutely reasonable.

Since nobody spoke a word since it happening I'm going to break the silence? When is the inauguration party for hsbc? @hsbc: You think you become moderator without throwing a party, eh?
Congratulations !

[GandalfPC]

Congrats

I wonder how long it would have taken me to notice - I’m betting an embarrassingly long time

[Harvonsgard]

You're welcome guys.

[Eric Lee]

I saw that as well, but wasn't sure just where would be a good place to bring it up. Congrats, hsbc! UC moderation team has been getting slim. Thanks for stepping up!

[hsbc]

Yes, the moderator ranks have been getting a little less pronounced of late, which is what led to Tom and me deciding to bring in some new blood. We're talking about possibly adding a couple more....

Dun dun DUUUNNN...

It's too bad that I'm not around that often anymore, eh?

[Harvonsgard]

Which would make you the perfect UC moderator as 80% (estimate) of them aren't around either .

It's funny because it's truuuuue.

[theCapraAegagrus]

It's 4/20.

And I will be pledging for my first playing card decks this year, today.

[Harvonsgard]

I guess blaze it gets a different meaning then aka funds get smoked by Jackson's campaign.

[theCapraAegagrus]

I'm glad that this series of campaigns won't be limited. I was all-ready to get 1 of those 200 gilded decks at noon, and then I read that there won't be a limit... Now that I have said this, I realize that I have pledged for 2 of each deck, when I really only want/need 1 of each. I must change this, now!

[Harvonsgard]

Two of each as in Frodo or Strider?

[theCapraAegagrus]

2 of each, as in 2 Gilded and 2 Standard. I really only want/"need" 1 of each. The Gilded to keep sealed, and the Standard for ogling and playing with.

[Harvonsgard]

That's what I settled for as well - 1/1.
