Astromech family photo… and Chopper showed up twice. 🤖😂

Matching tapered heads, cylindrical bodies and starship-support jobs—but each brings something different to The Sith Archive!

⚪ R4-P22 / Q7-series (far left | sw0534)
White head, red trim. This design represents the Q7 droid in 75039 V-wing Starfighter and R4-P22 in 75087 Anakin’s Custom Jedi Starfighter. R4-P22 flies with Anakin in the 2003 Clone Wars microseries.

🟡 R5-F7 (back left | sw0370)
Yellow accents and pale-blue head panels. In Legends, this is Lepira’s Gold Four astromech, linked to A New Hope’s Battle of Yavin through its starfighter. Found in 9495 Gold Leader’s Y-wing Starfighter and 75023 Star Wars Advent Calendar.

⚙️ R4-G0 (front center | sw0477)
Gray head with red-and-silver body details. Jek-14’s astromech from LEGO’s Yoda Chronicles world, with appearances in its games. Exclusive to 75018 Jek-14’s Stealth Starfighter.

🔴 R5-D8 / R5-D4 (center right | sw0373)
One LEGO design, two characters! R5-D8 accompanies Porkins in 9493 X-wing Starfighter; R5-D4 comes in 75059 Sandcrawler. Both connect to A New Hope, while our “bad motivator” friend R5-D4 returns in The Mandalorian.

🟠 Chopper, Rebels version (front right | sw0565)
Dark-orange head and gray body. Found in 75048 The Phantom, 75158 Rebel Combat Frigate, 75170 The Phantom and the SDCC Ghost (COMCON039).

🟠 Chopper, Ahsoka version (back right | sw1308)
Brighter orange, a white body and a white head cap. Found in 75357 Ghost & Phantom II and 75416 Chopper (C1-10P). Same grumpy droid, updated LEGO look! Catch Chopper in Rebels, The Bad Batch, Rogue One and Ahsoka.

One step closer to collecting every Star Wars droid—and twice the Chopper means twice the trouble. Which one gets a spot on your ship? 👇

I will never forget the first time I got to hold my boy in my arms, my life changed forever.

Now, here we are 5 years later. No longer do we have a baby boy or a toddler, we have a 5 year old!!

Every day is new adventure. Some days we’re creating a new castle out of magnatiles and Lego on Tatooine for Boba Fett to hide in, other days we’re making a ship for all our Lego bounty hunters. Other days, we’re sending out all the Jedi Legos to recover Han Solo from Jabba, but pirates are always ready to attack.

This past year has been filled with trips up north, countless games of Guess Who and Uno, our first soccer season, and yes tons of Lego and Star Wars!! Watching Archer imagine, create and simply get lost in Star Wars and Lego is the best - clearly, I am his father. Then, to see his deep love and care for his little sister - there are no words.

Can’t wait to see all the new Lego creations, adventures through the galaxy, and countless more games of Uno and Culver’s dinners we get to share this coming year! Happy Birthday Archer Bentley - I love you son!!

Finally can post this. The SigFig Raid train a few weeks was an absolute banger! It was so cool seeing the LEGO streamers come together and create such an awesome event! I wasn’t able to get all the Sigfigs but the ones I got are 🔥🔥🔥! Shoutout to @jandern.3 for getting me hooked on Sigfigs and customs. His was the first one I bought and I haven’t looked back! Can’t wait to see what they have in store for the community in the future! #lego #minifig #minifig #sigfig

In 1984, Lego Technic was under pressure!

In a good way though, as that was the year Lego introduced air pneumatics, bringing a whole new kind of mechanical function to builds. The first system used a hand pump, distribution block, switches, tubing, and single-port cylinders. By directing either pressure or vacuum through the system, builders could make things like excavator arms or forklifts move using nothing but air!

This first version wasn't perfect though, since the force each cylinder had was limited due to using a single hose to actuate in both directions. Just 5 years later, Lego redesigned the system with double-acting cylinders, giving them two air connections and making pneumatic mechanisms more powerful. Either way, air pneumatics have remained one of Technic's coolest ways to bring real world engineering into a Lego model. From pressure and vacuum to modern pneumatic machinery, it’s amazing to think that this little system has been turning Lego into functional machines for over 40 years!

Naturally then there was only one watch to pair with this, from a watch company long associated with building and architecture; Mido! The new Mido Ocean Star with its blocky indices remains a favorite of mine, especially when paired with a great strap like the new ZA Polaris Flex Daybreak 😍

Thanks @zulualphastraps for providing this strap and the great folks @fritz_bricks where I was able to find this amazing set in near perfect condition!

Dust settles behind the armored Humvee as the extraction team holds the line, headlights cutting through the haze like a beacon in hostile territory. Every soldier locked, loaded, and ready to move on command. This is toy photography built for cinematic storytelling — custom military action figures, tactical gear, and a handcrafted diorama lit to feel like a real battlefield at dusk.

Shot with dramatic bokeh, warm amber tones, and layered depth to bring these miniature soldiers to life. Toy photographers know: it’s not about the toy, it’s about the world you build around it.

What mission would your squad take on next?
