The mistake in the 4504 Falcon was not a clone trooper, but a clone trooper torso underneath an authentic snow trooper helmet. This was a mistake in the blue box early edition of the 4504, and Bricklink even catalogs the incorrect snow trooper separately. You can see it here, bottom of the 3rd paragraph:

Love this podcast! At first I just downloaded a few episodes on subjects I was interested in but now I listen to each new one for the news and to hear about lego themes that i might not otherwise investigate (bionicle for one). As an AFOL with no other AFOLs that i know personally I look to the web for new building ideas and outlooks on building. Love the MOC of the week and appreciate the links to them. I also enjoy the interviews with others involved in the online Lego community. Keep up the good work.

I think you should have a podcast with the topic of Women behind the LEGO fanatic…why dont they have more LEGO for women? Id love to have a couple sets to work on while my man masterminds his LEGO art. Just putting in my thoughts…great podcast! I learn something new every day!

Will and Todd, the 4504 set had a Clone Trooper’s torso in place of a Snowtrooper’s. This doesn’t have anything to do with colour or size of bricks, but I felt it was worth mentioning. It ticked a huge amount of people off at the time.

Apparently the problem was solved for the special edition release.

I continue to really enjoy these podcasts. Interesting subject matter, good guests, good length, also enjoy the MOC of the week discussion. Thanks for your work.

As for a new theme song, maybe you could use a few seconds each episode of a famous or not-so-famous “brick” song, ie Pink Floyd – Brick in the Wall, E John – Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, etc.

BTW, another poster asked this question and I’m curious as well. What were the quality concerns with the Ultimate Millenium Falcon.

Several people complained that there was a lot of color variation in the purple on the Knight Bus. This was really annoying as this was one of the few places to accumulate a lot of special elements in purple.

I like the links to past&present quality issues- I didn’t know about the Falcon or the Knight Bus having issues. What exactly was wrong with them?

Good question Ryan. I’ve updated the show notes to include the MOCs of the week, along with a few other links.
