Actually, due to strange circumstances, I don't actually have an Ep 2 Slave
1, just the minifigs from it. But yes, I very much like having stubbies
available for making minifig children. The only other child (other than
infants) I've had in The Brick Testament so far was the little girl who
danced for King Herod and requested John the Baptist's head. That was back
before the Age of Stubbies, but I think she came out to be about the same
size as a stubby child of today.

Yeah, I'm getting into floor patterns now. Having plain old tan or gray
floors was getting kind of old.

I sort of have this competition going with myself to see how much time I can
spend building a set that will only get shown in one photo. I think this
has the new record. Plus it's a completely gratuitous detail, so all's the
better. @8^D

It is indeed. Nice to have a new old male minifig face. Having to use the
Emperor over and over again grows tiresome. Now if they would just make an
older female face. Or just more female faces in general. Crazy sexist LEGO
company...
