Many LEGO set designers use our BrickLists feature to maintain a list of the sets they've worked on and often provide interesting insights about their involvement.

Once a week we publish an entry from one of their lists on the home page to increase awareness of this information and to encourage more designers to create them.

Jme Wheeler wrote this about their work on 40623 Battle of Endor Heroes:

Ah, Brickheadz! These are always really fun to do. It was an enjoyable challenge to convert R2 into the Brickheadz shape language. It would have been tricky enough if he had been a standard size, but only being able to work within a 3x3 grid added a lot of extra problem solving. Thankfully we've gotten some new elements in the last few years that were a great help. Wicket was likewise challenging and fun to work on. MOC builders out there will note (and hopefully appreciate) the paired left and right angle plates in both Wicket and Leia. Lando's hair was another highlight for me. It has a unique texture when compared to other Brickheadz models, which I enjoyed working out.


If you're a LEGO designer and you'd like to create a list of sets you've worked on, find out how to.

If you're a LEGO designer and you've already created a list you can opt in to having your notes included in this series of articles by editing the list and giving consent.

For clarification, how do you pronounce the first name?

Glad to see some passion about the Ghost set. It shows in the final product. Keep it up!

I don't own this set, but yes, I do appreciate getting asymmetrical elements in pairs! 75265 does it as well, for example.

Most likely Jaimie but I'm interested in confirmation too.

I saw him in Billund a few weeks ago. I bought a signed version of the wooden duck. I never talked to him because I don't know how to address him (Jamie? Djmay? Sjmay? Jimmie?) ;)

As a friend and lugmate, I can confirm it's pronounced as it looks: "jay-me".

"Mr. Wheeler" should have been appropriate.

This is a bad star wars set for one reason. Han isn't in it and he lead the battle as a general

Jme did a great job capturing R2 in BrickHeadz form, especially since it can stand on its own without the clear brick underneath when not on display!
