Forresto Posted September 27, 2009 Play it again Figr'in Dan As the empire hunts down the plans for it's secret battle station on the desert planet of Tantooine, It's inhabitants go on with there everyday lives. A meager moisture farmer jumps in his landspeeder and takes his precious water to sell in the city. A gentle ithorian listens onto a bith street musician while a bounty hunter looks for his next target who could be . Unleash the excitment mos Eisley urban life in this excitng 67pc set. Put the water box in the speeder and launch the flick-fire missles, while hunting down a bounty hunter's prey. Contains Ithorian, Bith musician, bounty hunter, and Moisture farmer minifigures. Set goes with 7068 mos eisley cantina Theme: Star Wars Set: 7067 Mos Eisley city life Pieces: 67 Price: $10.99 (from left to right:Ithorian, Bounty Hunter, Bith Musician, Moisture farmer The reason I built this was beacause once a long time ago my dad said after seeing a space set he bought me, that Lego should make sets that were small and came with a bunch of crazy alien heads. When thinking of ideas for battlepacks I realized that his idea from a long time ago was impractical at the time where cost was involved but could be possible today with our better molds. I always loved Mos Eisley and all the wierd aliens so this was an easy idea to come up with. Originally this was goning to be a cantina battle pack but I was afraid of it turning out like this set 4501 so I went with this. The pictures don't give it justice but I could'nt upload my other photos because i went right to my photo limit. Thank you and happy voting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fumoffu Posted September 28, 2009 Great idea. There's not enough non-battle/conflict oriented Star Wars set. All those alien heads will be great. I like the moisture farmer and his speeder. Not so sure about the black colour scheme since that is not exactly a great desert colour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Legolas Posted September 28, 2009 Interesting... the minifigs are amazing! (Did you do them yourself?), And the speeder isn't all too blocky for it's size! Good job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forresto Posted September 28, 2009 Thank you so much for the comments Fumoffu I do wholeheartedly agree that there is'nt a lot of "Battle" in this battle pack but that was part of the idea. I think that battlepacks should'nt just have troops in it but also have civilians or "background" characters, because when we all make a starwars scene like Mos Eisley, Coruscant, Bespin, and Jabba's palace the background characters are vital. The landspeeder is black on the account it's based off the Uncle Owen's Landspeeder called the Lars' landspeeder in this diagram. Darth Legolas to answer you're question I made the Ithorian's head but not the bith. The bith was made by an ebay seller that's name I do not know, but they went out of buisness so if they see this I give them credit for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eskallon Posted September 28, 2009 Lovely entry for the contest. I would probably buy this if it was in a store because the aliens look brilliant and they all have cool guns. By the way did you use GIMP or something else for the entry? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forresto Posted September 28, 2009 Yes I used gimp, good eye because photoshop is just to expensive when I can use something like gimp. Does anyone know by the way, why my photos now have to be downloaded because last night they just showed up on this page? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pedro Posted September 28, 2009 Great idea for a battle pack! I like your custom characters (though your bounty hunter does look a lot like Greedo) and you've got some great little touches in there: the Bith's musical instrument, the nicely detailed vaporator... Great idea. There's not enough non-battle/conflict oriented Star Wars set. Fumoffu I do wholeheartedly agree that there is'nt a lot of "Battle" in this battle pack but that was part of the idea. I think that battlepacks should'nt just have troops in it but also have civilians or "background" characters... I think that's exactly what Fumoffu was saying Good luck in the competition!

CommanderFox Posted October 1, 2009 Nice BP I really like the custom Ithorian and the Bith very nicely molded The speeder and the moisture vaporater are nice aswell good luck CommanderFox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klaus-Dieter Posted October 7, 2009 That's an awesome entry, Forresto! I really it! I indeed can't imagine TLG releasing this one since it's more kind of a small set than a BP. Nevertheless the composition of the different contents - minifigs, small vehicle and additional stuff - is great! I mainly like the Ithorian - great head"mold"! Very, very well done!

Corvus Posted October 18, 2009 Neat! I have to say my favorite bit is the instrument, it would make a great saxaphone if painted gold. Is that a Steely Dan reference? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
