  "Legos" -Me

I shouldn't even admit this but when we first started selling here we had
the word Legos in our store terms. Now I cringe every time I see someone referring
to Legos that way.

  just as the Sand People are not Humans nor that intelligent, but they are from
Tatoonie.. & would be considered Tatoonieians.

I don't think the Tuskens are unintelligent.

"In the Star Wars universe, there are some species that are force-sensitive,
and some that are not. Tusken Raiders (and Jawas for that matter) are not force-sensitive,
simply because they do not possess the mental aptitude."

...star ships are traveling at Light Speed, Moon sized Death Star Battle Stations
are blowing up planets & there are beings known as Jedi's & Sith with the
ability to manipulate objects with their minds
a Tusken Raider is on the bottom of the intelligence spectrum. they are a proud
Tribal community, but bottom rung as far as intelligence goes in that universe.

but you are free to 'think' anything you want

The only way to accurately gauge the intelligence of each individual species
and then rank them according to their intelligence level is to do an in-depth
analysis of each species and then compare them by some predetermined scale....
oh wait, IT'S JUST A MOVE FRANCHISE.

"Built and displayed, great condition, message for pics."
"NEW! Adult owned from a sealed set. Displayed in a cabinet behind glass,
no direct sunlight. Comes with original hair and guns, plus two nozzles which
look more like his blasters. Ask for photos"
"AFOL Owned, Smoke Free Home, No lightsaber, used but never displayed or
played with, looks new"
"Kama is Slightly crumpled but otherwise Perfect, Displayed by AFOL away
from sunlight."
and from some other new listings
""Used" Some bitemarks on one side of head."
"Cracked arms"
"cracked torso"
"cracked arm"
"Brand new never assembled but arms are cracked "
"cracked torso, only figure, no accessories"

I especially like the one listed as new but says, "Used" Some bitemarks
on one side of head.".

  Genuine LEGO torso. Can't seem to locate on the catalog tree. Any ideas?

I think it's a custom print. Hardly any torsos with printed arms.

I wouldn't call at least 280 hardly any.

~Jen

Lego has made millions of mini figures and if they only printed on 280 arms
then that is a Huge difference and I have at least 50 of those arms on 25 figs
so that only leaves 230 for everybody else.

  Left two are both Pearl Gold (which is known to have a lot of variation), the
right one is Flat Dark Gold.

Dosnt Flat dark gold not exist for that part and it’s just a variation of pearl
gold?

It looks that way. Only 50 different parts were made in flat pearl gold. The
break down of which parts were made in pearl dark gold is as follows: 32 Bionicle
parts, 11 Duplo parts and the remaining 7 parts are in older Castle and Vikings
sets made back around 2005 and they are just 3 weapons, 2 shields and 2 large
figure armor pieces.
