    Mygeeto Moment

    I'm sorry, but I don't want to sound negative. But this just isn't doing it for me, the customized minifigs are neat, but I don't get a Mygeeto feeling from some BURP's, 2 desert? bushes and a mismatched, discoloured white wall. I think must people associate Revenge of the Sith Mygeeto with the bridge, so if you could incorporate that into it, could be a little better.

    LEGO Star Wars 2013 Pictures and Rumors

    There is a very simple solution to this, that has been mentioned before. Don't put the palace on top. You aren't forced to do it, if you don't like it. Leave it.
  3. A couple of the other themes have forums like this and haven't seen one for the Sci-Fi forum. I'll just get the ball rolling with my collection. It's mainly Exo Force that I've been collecting for 5 or so years now. I have some Space Police III sets that are not included in this picture. If the keen eye can't notice everything included, there is/are. Robots; 2 Fire Vultures 1 Thunder Fury 1 Striking Venom 1 Iron Condor 1 Sonic Raven (not pictured) 1 Robot Sentry 1 Claw Crusher 1 Meca One's mech from Sentai Fortress 1 Dark Panther Exo Force; Grand Titan Stealth Hunter Uplink Silent Strike Cyclone Defender Blade Titan Sky Guardian Aero Booster Golden Guardian Sentai Fortress Supernova Jungle Cutter Chameleon Hunter Golden Tower (not pictured) Mobile Defence Tank (not pictured) Expect to see a good number of Exo Force reviews to pop up.

    [REVIEW]: 9509 Star Wars Advent Calendar

    That was my original plan after I bought last years calendar, but I hadn't seen a review yet and jumped on the opportunity.

    (WIP) Venator class star destroyer

    Like Anio said, without a structure this wont't work, it will just be flat. There is no way the wings can be angled properly without having an internal frame to support it. From what I can see it just looks like angle plates with pieces on top. LDD gives us the ability to create large buildings and ships without having the laws of physics to intervene. Although on a site like this where many members spend a lot of time and effort into making their builds correctly. Having something like this takes away from it in a way.

    Well I hardly see the need to bump a year old topic just to advertise your moc.

    LEGO Star Wars 2013 Pictures and Rumors

    At what point do they stop becoming rumors and people simply saying they hope that "this will be here" and "I hope that will be there". To me that's more of, 'what would you like to see in future sets'. Additionally, if the rumor is about Yoda's Hut. The mention of it being an AOTC set makes no sense, neither does mention of another podracer bucket.

    LEGO Star Wars 2013 Pictures and Rumors

    Just a reminder for pretty much all of the last 3-4 pages here should belong in the Future Star Wars set thread.... 32 pages of talk about ONE confirmed set for 2012 is a bit ridiculous.

    Living room from the 80s

    Green walls, green lamp and those curtains. Definitely 80's. The rug caught my eye first. Good choice for the minifig faces as well. Typical expressiosn of a family playing board games. Well done.

    SoF: FRIENDs or Foe?

    Wow, that destroyed building is one of the best I've seen. What's more dangerous than a bunch of girls?

    Diner

    I can't even pick out one thing to compliment, the whole thing is just amazing. Well done.

    LEGO Star Wars 2012 Pictures and Rumors

    To me it doesn't seem like the cockpit rotates on it's own, or at least not smoothly. In the video when he is showing the cockpit, it looks like his hand is turning it. and then when he turns over the whole model, it seems to be in the same spot.

    [REVIEW]:7708 Uplink

    Back at it again with another review that is in the index, but contains no photos. Let's take a look back at Uplink. This was the Exo Force set I had ever bought which started this ridiculous craze. Uplink was one of the first sets of the theme to be released and while it may disappoint some, it's size is based on it's usefulness. A little background information, Uplink was a utility mech, the kind that was used to repair the larger fighting machines, so I wouldn't assume it should see much battle. Enough blather, onto the review. Name: Uplink Set Number: 7708 Pieces: 69 Price: $5.99 US Age: 6-14 Minifigs: 1 Theme: Exo Force Year of Release:2006 Bricklink Peeron Brickset 6 years later and of course I have no box. But it was one of the smaller boxes. One of the smallest TLC made I believe. Here Ryo shows us that the instructions are the same as the box and the same size as pretty much every other set. And in the back on the instructions we have an alternative model, I have built this, but there are some stability issues. Our small assortment of pieces, some of which the good MOC'r could make good use of. Some notable pieces include 2 black chalices, used as missles, this is the only set I had really noticed them in, the two cyclinders used as blasters add some good details, and the big orange pieces which were used as helmets in the monstrosities of 'NHL' sets Minifigure: Here is Ryo in all his purple haired glory. I was 12 at the time of buying this set and thought this hair was the greatest. He is sporting the more blank expression which I believe fits his character the best. Much better than this. (One big tooth?) The Build: 24 pieces later and the main body is completed, nothing much to note here other than some controls which are rare in Exo Force. The black technic rods sticking up will alter be used to attach our helmets. Legs built and the extra orange slope pieces on the feet add some nice support and good looks. Legs attached and surprisingly it isn't to small. Left arm contains some missiles, much nicer than just the cone on top of the rocket base. "oh my what big missiles you have!" Dual blasters definitely a Shoulder pads attached and Ryo must pole vault his way into Uplink to add the finishing touches. Completed: Finished mecha looking nice. Finding it odd that a repair machine would have such armament. From the side, I can't put my finger on it, but from this angle it looks very nice. Behind, not much you can do about this. That purple head looks like a good undefended target. Poseability is a bit of a downside here with how the legs are attached to the body and on one leg is almost impossible to balance. But with a little patience you can manage it. Overall: It doesn't really mean anything to me about what someone says about this set, it was my first Exo Force and will probably always be my favorite. Playabilty: 7/10Maybe some tools to fix other mechs could add some playability, but everything else is great. Design: 10/10 Good parts use for the helmets and for a small set, every piece has a purpose. Price: 10/10 Cant go wrong with $5 super cheap for a great set. Minifigure: 10/10 I can't keep criticizing for the reversible head so that can't count. The orange and purple make for a good combo. Parts: 8/10 They all have a purpose and with a good variety of hinge bricks plus a couple of orange slopes. Total: 45/50 What can I say, it's one of my favorites.

    Future Star Wars Sets

    20 Minifigures in one set? Which are mostly already included in some set or another. and why would an Imperial SD need 3 scout troopers?

    [REVIEW]:7708 Uplink

    The only problem I find with the alternate model is it wants you to put one of the short red technic spins into the helmet, making it very difficult to remove. Same thing happens in the combo model of Grand Titan and Stealth Hunter.

    [MOC] Unfinished/Table Scrap Sci-Fi MOCs

    The hoses around the cockpit seem to almost give it a steampunkish feeling. The red and green on the back are very intriguing. Could we perhaps see a shot from the rear?

    Future Star Wars Sets

    Seeing as how there has been 4 renditions of the X-Wing, 3 of the Y-Wing and 3 of the A-wing, seems fairly balanced to me.

    [MOC] Darth Vader's sail barge

    I love MOCS that can incorporate SO many different themes and elements but all fit into one category. Great use of the minidolls and CMF elements.

    Future Star Wars Sets

    I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see a new sandcrawler. Been quite a while since our last rendition, plus the incredible MOCS by Marshall Banana and Cavegod would be some great inspiration to work off of for TLC.

    Astromech Workplace Contest: Astromech Alcove

    This really does give the impression of an Astromechs living area. I like the contrast of the messy and cramped shelving to the clean and crisp floor and computer.

    MOC: Friendly helicopter

    The realism in this is just amazingly well done. The gold and purple do work together.

    4 of July tips

    1. I have no idea what you're talking about. 2. I don't think this belongs in the Sci-Fi forum. 3. I don't think this belongs on Eurobricks at all.

    Good photography, I think this would fit best in the photography thread.

    What're your favorite and least favorite Star Wars sets?

    This set was pretty bad.
