I can't remember now how it is in Battlefront, that is pretty accurate since they modeled everything after the actual studio models. The ones in the Rebels set moved if I remember correctly, and it looks like these move too. So there is a very slight camber then. Not as much as the Rebels show, but still almost vertical. looks like the stabilizers are more accurate in a vertical orientation. Quote

Yeah, probably, but I'm gonna play Battlefront and make some screenshots from the right angle tonight just to set this straight (or tilted):D Quote
jhaelego Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) I'd say there's a slight tilt, but the newer Lego A-Wings exaggerate it. How do you guys feel about the jumpsuit of the pilot being green rather than dark green? Edited December 7, 2016 by jhaelego Quote
Only Sinner Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 Green looks good, too. I always like to see variety in my Rebels. Like with different races, ethnicities, genders, uniforms what have you. Quote
ChiefPie Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 I don't mind. Rebels typically do not have one uniform like the empire. And it makes your rebel pilots all look different too. Quote
Juke Posted December 8, 2016 Posted December 8, 2016 Should I get the tie striker next or the uwing? Quote

Dark green was more accurate but the lighter shade does add a bit more individuality to the pilots. Plus the different helmet designs indicate the two A-Wing Pilots are indended to be different characters anyway (2013 version being Sila Kott, 2017 being Jake Farrell) Quote

U-wing all the way man, figure selection is great, especially compared to that of the Tie Striker. However, if you are in to Imperial army building (as like myself) then get the Striker, it's a pretty neat ship, although my least favorite of all the Tie models. Cheers! Quote

If your more into the set then it's a hard choice. U-wing is big and has a small compartment to hold people. The striker just holds the pilot but it also has a storage area in the back and the set is bigger then what the box shows. I would probably get the striker first but it looks like you have decided to join the rebels already. Quote
brobert Posted December 9, 2016 Posted December 9, 2016 So.. any of you guys have noticed that in the new Spider-Man trailer, Peter's friend wrecks the UCS Death Star when he sees he's Spidey? :D Quote

It could have been the Disney Castle. Quote

Because they have to show off their fairly newly acquired properties :) Besides, trashing the Mouse House would hold a bit more negative message :D Not to mention that a teenage nerd would probably rather be into SW than Disney cartoon themed Legos, he'd probably consider that "gay" at this point in his life :D Quote

Maybe that's becoming a thing now... dropping big LEGO sets. Quote

Even if IRL he seems to be the most amazing guy, he took this role of the scruffy looking nerf-herder a-hole for the media :) But yeah, that MF drop hurt much more than this... Quote
Another Brick In The Wall Posted December 10, 2016 Posted December 10, 2016 Can somebody please tell me what minifigs were in Death Star 10188 but not in 75159? Quote

Jedi-Bendu Posted December 10, 2016 Posted December 10, 2016 Question: next week I happen to be in Germany. Will I get a free A-Wing figure when I spend an X amount at the official Lego stores there? Quote
benderisgreat Posted December 10, 2016 Posted December 10, 2016 Quick question my local toy store just put 30% discount on TIE Striker. Should I buy it at discounted price 49$ or should I get Battle of Scariff set which is 50$? I mainly want to get Shoretroopers minifigures , and not interested in new Cassian and Jyn minifigures as I have U-Wing already. Quote

You should wait for the bunker to be discounted because it's not really worth $50 even though I plan on getting it. Quote
