Quick Hits on LEGO Star Wars Minifigs

Eurobricks member Jammiedodger714 has a nice review of set 8129, AT-AT Walker. We discussed the "new" Han Solo figure in our preview yesterday (in fact the comparison shot came from this review). There a couple of small changes on the General Veers and Pilot Luke minifigures shown that I thought worth mentioning.

The first pic is of the new General Veers in comparison to an Imperial Officer (sw261) that appeared in set 8084, Snowtrooper Battle Pack.

LEGO Star Wars Minifigures General VeersAs you can see, only the face print has changed, and little if nothing else. The next item deals with the pilot's helmet featured on Luke Skywalker.

LEGO Star Wars Luke Skywalker's Pilot HelmetThe new helmet has more detail in the print, as compared to previous versions (part x164px2). A definite improvement, but at the price point of the new AT-AT, difficult to get in multiples. It looks like the rebel pilots will have to make do with last years models for little while longer. Perhaps a bake sale to raise funds?!
