Identifying a Lego figure

[Gern]

Hi folks. Cheeky I know and only loosely related to the modelling we usually do ....

Could anyone identify the Lego figure shown in this picture? The one on the left please - I only included the Ahsoka figure as a comparison since the unidentified figure is almost twice the size of the standard Lego minifigures.

My son has just said it's not Lego but he doesn't know who it is.

It looks like you with a hat on Dave

I think it's Biggs Darklighter, Lukes friend from episode IV, but I've never seen him in this uniform, and I think Johns son is right about it not being a Lego figure.

He doesn't look like a Lego figure.

Have you tried to google the image?

Thanks guys. I also first thought that it isn't a Lego figure but it's stamped with the Lego name and copywrite symbol.

Francesco - how do you 'google an image'?

Ian - I can see the resemblance. We both have a cheesy moustache and b****y useless hands!

It is Lego ... Probably a figure from the ''model team'' series that were of a larger scale.

Go to images.google.com, in the search box should appear a camera, click on it and upload the image you're looking for

Thanks Francesco but that wasn't the most successful search I've done. I did as you suggested and it took Google just 0.4 seconds to come up with zero images! I'll try the advanced search and see what that does.

Hi Gern,

I have just been taking a quick look and found him here...: - http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/Pilot_%28Jack_Stone%29

Hope that helps...

Thanks Andy. I logged on to post that I'd just found him and saw you'd beaten me to it.

So Lego didn't do the 'Village people' then ?

I wish they had done! Life would have been so much quieter - and the reputation of the YMCA wouldn't have nose-dived into oblivion!

I was kinda disappointed though. I thought maybe I'd found an ultra-rare piece that Lego had only made a dozen copies of and I was going to make a fortune! Turns out this series is cheap as chips on ebay and I'd be lucky to find a buyer for just a single figure.

Oh well. I reckon I'll make the best part of £200 when I sell the contents of the box I only paid £6 for (plus another £10 -£15 to get the bits that are missing). That'll do nicely.

Seeing the value in Lego really makes me cross that I gave mine to my kid brother....who gave/threw it away as he grew up...Must of had a moving box full of it!

So Dave, you got the pilot, all you need to do now is build the fighter to fly in...
