Forest westly Posted May 17, 2017 18 hours ago, Brickdad said: I know, especially for the display models. Why do they have those really ugly black stands? Is it a cost thing? Well, it surely aint a design thing. You mean the ones on the UCS models? Because so are there so you display the ship without having to just lay it on the ground. They are all made to be removable you dont have to use them you know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My point, and I believe the other person's point also, is that why are the stands made of black lego parts? Imagine how good they would look if the stands were clear.

So... they would be more prone to breaking (Because transparent plastic is more brittle) and it would be difficult to read the text on them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the black is just so it is simple and doesn't take away from the model itself, it's just always been that way so I don't see the point of changing it up.

Brickdad Posted May 17, 2017 If I could get clear bricks to replace the black ones for my, yet unbuilt, Slave 1 I know I would. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure, that constitutes pertinent news for your specific location.

adamtea Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) I had a nice online chat with a Lego eomplyee (about some missing pieces) today and asked him when the UCS Falcon was coming. His response was very tongue in cheek - 'interesting question, I don't have any information on such a set at the moment' and 'I sure would love to see that set soon ?' I know this isn't confirmation but come on! I am 100% certain it's coming based on all the little teasers and Stash2sixx...

Well I believe it's coming, would probably be denounced by now otherwise, Although regarding your conversation with the Lego employee, I'm sure it means..... absolutely nothing... That's not a unique answer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adamtea Posted May 17, 2017 I totally agree with your comment about my conversation, it probably means nothing. Like you though, I am a believer... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richpepperell Posted May 17, 2017 If anyone's interested, R3-M2s head and body are currently on Bricks and Pieces UK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathstroke77 Posted May 17, 2017 At this point the Falcon is all but confirmed. I wish LEGO would just announce it already, I'm fed up of seeing the rumour pop up all the time, honestly. Just announce it so we can discuss everything properly, rather than some new tease pop up all the time, it doesn't take a genius to deduce that it's on its way.

The body is 60p and the head is 43p so you're really paying 1.03pounds plus whatever the legs cost for the figure, hopefully this reduces the polybag prove on the aftermarket but I may leave mine sealed and just buy the pieces alone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JekPorkchops Posted May 17, 2017 On 15 mei 2017 at 5:46 PM, Helghan said: The Republic Fighter tank made an appearance in Clone Wars/ROTS novel and was developed for AoTC so no, it's not Legends. It is definitely Legends. About the Fighter Tank, I really like the use of a black bucket handle as a control yoke. As if that wasn't enough for cockpit detailing, it also has one of those printed control panels above the yoke. It is a lot flatter, proportionally, to the last version (in addition to being a lot smaller of course), which I like. They nailed the look of the 'face' on this one. The repulsors are not as thick so the accessories can't be stored inside, rather clumsily on top. Stud shooters are integrated fairly well though, they look like grenade launchers. The 2008 version had the dual laser cannon on top. This one has no gunner's position or turret. In the (far) future, they could release the beam turret version, or the one with Imperial markings.

However, it's Canon state is irrelevant as it's still a good set and has nothing to do with this threads topic. Edited May 17, 2017 by SCREDEYE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It most certainly isn't by Disney's definition of what constitutes as canon after the wipe. Go ahead and be a brick wall, it's not going to suddenly make it "Legends".
