Yes, but that would be when, 2nd halve of 2017? Everyone will have their eyes on EP VIII...

So in each and every trailer for the new SW movie we see the new AT-ACT, but instead we get... Yoda's Starfighter?!?!?!! Wow... Speachless...

Custom SW minifigs normally go for €25 - €40, depending on the parts used and the print. For a non-official LEGO minifig I'd say €150 is rather excessive...

The guy that runs the little arms shop from the Netherlands, Hein-Jan Kemperman, is / was a 501st member and asked to make a run of these minifigs many years ago. According to him these are 'official' minifigs but I have never seen any evidence of that. So from my point of view these are custom minifigs with a printed backside and pauldron. They were sold exclusively to 501st members but a few made it to the general audience it seems. Being MOCs / customs I guess it's up to the buyer what they are worth, but I wouldn't overexaggerate the value of these...

Built another speederbike, this time a Swoop from Shadows of the Empire (as released by KENNER back in 1996): Click the image = more images And the original: Hope you like it And for those fed up with these small MOCs: there's bigger stuff coming pretty soon

The UCS Hype. What will 2017 bring? (40th Anniversary)
HJR-Holland replied to Major_Ton's topic in LEGO Star Wars
AT-AT is a must. Others are extra... My only reason for not building a MOC AT-AT is that I still see potential for LEGO to release one. Ought to sell better than that UCS Hoth set -

Show Your Army, Navy, and Collection Display
HJR-Holland replied to BillytheKid's topic in LEGO Star Wars
As I pretty soon will take out most of it, I made a little video of my current collection; enjoy: -
So when epIII came out (many moons ago) there was quite a difference between the initial designs and what finally came into the movie *cough* flying catamarans *cough* and one of the big changes was that of the AT-RT. This was what it was supposed to look like: But in the end we ended up with this in the movie: However, at the very start of the design process, designer TJ frame made a design with a closed cockpit, which is my favourite version of this vehicle: And thus decided to make a LEGO model based on this version of the vehicle: And in case you are wondering: yes, it realy stands on two 2x2 studs and yes, that does mean that gravity is a myth ;-) For more images of this creation, please check it here. I've recently had the time and patience to put some of my work on camera recently, so you'll see more of my work in the coming weeks / months.

Thanks for the feedback :-) I have a lot more vehicles planned from the initial designs of various vehicles (Millennium Falcon, X-wing, Y-wing, AT-AT etc.)

[KEY TOPIC] Official Lego sets made in LDraw
HJR-Holland replied to legolijntje's topic in Digital LEGO: Tools, Techniques, and Projects
Hello Philo, cela fait longtemps... I use Ldraw version 3.40 but every time I open the file Ldraw stops completely, and I need to restart the programme... Edited the file by taking the first line out in editor, but again, when I start up it just freezes the programme completely... -

The file of LEGO set 7676 is currupt; does anyone have a link to the file that doesn't go directly the brickshelf file? Thanks -
LEGO Star Wars 2016 Pictures and Rumors
HJR-Holland replied to Brickdoctor's topic in LEGO Star Wars
As for the battle sets to appear next year, if you look at the HASBRO vehicles for next year it's not hard to speculate what kind of vehicles will come in them: -
I can already picture the development team at BanBao thinking 'hey, wait, shameless copying is OUR business!!' Come on LEGO, put a bit more effort in things! Couldn't you at least change a few colours in the set so it'd look just a bit different? There was a time you sold the same locomotive set and wagons in several colours, why not do that here as well?

Since 2004 I've been making custom minifigs, and have recently (re)made pictures of them. I have 250+ unique characters, so allow me to place them here in batches in the next couple of months Great help in making these minifigs are two source: - The book "Star Wars: The Ultimate Action Figure Collection" by Steve Sansweet - The website jedibusiness.com which also contains prototypes, and also shows the accessories that come with the figures. So here's the first batch: Such as easy custom; still don't understand why everyone yells for an 'official' minifig... not my own design, but lovely! Notice the tear in her right eye? Long live Arealight customs! Robby! The first robot with a conscience in US cinema :-) Don't worry, I also made his army ;-) Yup, it's Han's clothes, just as in the movie! Great decals from Kaminoan; 8 years old and still no colour loss More to come, watch this space :-)
-
Sorry, was gone for a while... here' a new batch for y'all:
-
Thumbs up! Poor X-wing...
-
Curios that Luke says 'my father has it' instead of speaking in the past sense (had instead of has). So Anakin is still around?
-
That, or you buy directly from the source: Www.arealightcustoms.com Fair shipping price, and all five times I ordered there no issues whatsoever. And freebies too! Betbthat evilbay seller doesn't do that ;-)
-
That trenchcoat is by MMCB; unfortunately he decided to focus on WW I cloth items instead. Pity, he had great stuff :-) New batch:

It must have been about 10 years ago when I came across this small speeder bike in a Star Wars Marvel Comic (nr 55): Leia and Chewbacca use these when they are on the planet Arbra to find a new location for the rebel fleet, and encounter the Hoojibs. At the time I copied an image from it on my computer; never thinking it would be possible to recreate this small, round vehicle in LEGO pieces. But lo and behold when LEGO came out with curved pieces a few years ago; t'was possible! So here's my version of these nifty speeders. Q: is that a 1x1 with studs on all sides in red? A: Yes it is. And no, I don't have a clue in which set they come. But they are available on Bricklink, albeit very expensive ($2 - $3 each) Enjoy!

MOC: Arbra Speeder Bike (Star Wars Marvel comics)
HJR-Holland replied to HJR-Holland's topic in LEGO Star Wars
I tried various variants, but this worksvthe best :-) that would be too much red I'm afraid;'look at Chewie's speederbike, it has but a hint of red, not a quarter of the front in that colour... my expertise lays far from building scenes, dioramas and trees. I'm a one-trick monkey really; it's vehicles or nothing, bit like how LEGO does it themselves ;-). But hey, they're easy to build, so why not give it a go yourself! :-) Thanks
