FYI I've had to take down the images from the blog by request of LEGO who says they don't want them released yet.

Where'd you get that request? I still find it awfully strange that I haven't gotten any email in regard to it.

Brickset said they had to take them down, but I agree- if we haven't heard anything and none of the other sites are taking stuff down, I don't see why we have to

The request came from Day Pitney LLP supposedly representing LEGO. http://www.daypitney.com/

Did they email you directly? Please forward me that email (georgebarnick[at]gmail.com). There's some discussions on LAN going on in regard to the poorly-executed tactics of handling leaks/future set information from LEGO this year (which I know has been frustrating users here for ongoing months).

Those kinds of requests are supposed to go through me, that's part of the issue I have with them emailing you. As I said on LAN,

I find it awfully strange I didn't get any email in regard to the set images. I saw several fellow sites removing their images, and our users began removing images from our site, yet I hadn't heard anything in email or on LAN about it. Communication definitely seems to be rather poor in regard to handling this stuff lately. As an admin of Brickipedia, I respect the LEGO Group, but I also look for our site and community's best interest, and when I saw the mass-removal of images and content from our 2016 articles, it definitely sparked a bit of worry from me, seeing as I the ambassador had never been contacted by LEGO about removing that 2016 content.

Makes action scenes easier I guess (you pose it so they are running without them falling over) I'd have used a clear one though instead of whatever colour that is.

Apparently when they do these white background shots all the minifigs are on stands and then the stands are photoshopped out, so it seems someone forgot to do that for Star Wars
