happymark Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 I am not sure if anybody has similar feeling. I really do not like this cockpit piece. (not the color, although I hate the clear the most) somehow I feel this isn't LEGOish. or maybe too Childrenish(more like a 4+ piece)? is this only me? Quote
Captain Settle Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 I like it. I love how sleek it is, and I much prefer cockpits like this that connect to clips. Quote
Aanchir Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 I think it's a very nice piece, although it has some fairly difficult angles to match. It kind of feels like a revamp of this piece (though it's in fact smaller). If you felt that piece was too "childrenish", then I suppose you'd feel the same about the new one, but otherwise I don't see how one is decidedly more specialized than the other. 2507 is bigger and has no studs, but has somewhat friendlier angles. 92579, in contrast, has less friendly angles but is smaller and has far more versatile connection points.

DPrime Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 I really don't see how that's any more childish than any other cockpit pieces... Seems okay to me. Personally I'd love to have a few in trans-yellow. :) Quote
caperberry Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Well it's all down to personal taste I guess :O) I'm not a massive fan of long cockpits, but love them in others' MOCs when it's done well. There have been a couple of times I've detested a piece, but grown to like it once I discover some cool connections! Quote
Hrw-Amen Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 I cannot say I have a real dislike for this part, but I do have to say that given a choice I much prefer the older 2507. Maybe it is because as a child I had it back in the classic space / Blactron / M-tron era and I have nice memories of it. I am sure that children of today will probably prefer the newer one for the same reasons, but really they perform a very similar if not identical role in most sets and MOCs. Quote
Rook Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Love it. Any thing trans in general but glad to see Lego exploring various colors. Quote
happymark Posted July 17, 2013 Author Posted July 17, 2013 thank you for all the reply. I think one of the reason for this cockpit. is that it mixed curve and 'straight edge'. but agree, it might be a personal thing.. I like these better: even this: Quote
Bricknblue Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Funny, I hate all three of those. :lol: I like the new one, I also like the bar and clip than the click and lock style. It looks awesome on the Alien Conquest fighter, even though it doesn't fit right with a minifigure in it. Quote
caperberry Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 thank you for all the reply. I think one of the reason for this cockpit. is that it mixed curve and 'straight edge'. but agree, it might be a personal thing.. I think you hit the nail on the head there for me actually. I'm a little discriminatory towards parts that are 'mixed'! Partly because it limits their usefulness - they're very useful in specific situations but not things I generally pick up and am inspired by - but mostly they bother me because they don't quite belong in my 'slopes' box nor my 'bows' box! Silly isn't it. Quote
gryffindorcommonroom Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 I love it, looks like something off a Star Wars fighter jet. Quote
just2good Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 thank you for all the reply. I think one of the reason for this cockpit. is that it mixed curve and 'straight edge'. but agree, it might be a personal thing.. I like these better {pic} {pic} even this: {pic} Wow, I never liked any of those. Especially the first one- sorry to those who consider it a classic piece. I am not sure if anybody has similar feeling. I really do not like this cockpit piece. (not the color, although I hate the clear the most) somehow I feel this isn't LEGOish. or maybe too Childrenish(more like a 4+ piece)? is this only me? {pic} This piece is good. It works as a cockpit piece the best in my opinion. Also, bar > click/lock. Quote
dr_spock Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 The piece is fine to me. I think it was used in some Star Wars sets like the V-wing star fighter. Quote
