    Post your general LEGO Star Wars questions here

    Not all redoing is good, Baris Offe (or whatever her name is) was bad, but the clone pilots (from the new ARC fighter, and Palps shuttle) and the new P2 clones from the new SS where good, and not CW-ified.

    LEGO Star Wars 2011 Pictures & Rumors

    Hmm yes I suppose so. The problem I made was I thought that all the MF where ESB sets, but I forgot to look at the figs on the first version so my mistake. Yes i think it must be a ROTJ set. Hopefully it will follow the lines f the previous two and not the UCS one.

    I tried but the snow was so heavy it blocked most of the light I tried using on it, and when I used an artificial light source the snow and figs blended together

    Hmmm it seems to Me that the SA site has some sets in common with *HIM* but They have set numbers, nothing to prove, or fool, so even without pics, for now, I am willing to believe them. I wonder if the Falcon is ANH, ESB, or ROTJ?

    HAHA a CW bully, its a shame really because some CW sets are really good like the AT-TE and the RGS and some deserve to be flung as far into hyperspace as possible (Twilight, Droid battle pack, Hyena bomber, solar sailor etc)

    Well Brickdoctor it could if TLC used it responsibly and The_Customizer yes the technic models where good and I would like to see more of them in 2011 or 2012 (BTW would they count as action figures and infringe on Hasbro's rights?) I presume by AT-AT you mean the motorized one, if so then I suppose you could be right.

    Looking at the cheepist (no box or instructions To build you dont need them and we have the instructions on EB) sets on bricklink or ebay or amazon only about £5,000 is needed over all (the majority of that pricing comes from the UCS, DS playset, and CC)

    Like in the Twilight, the technic in that closed off so many possibilities in the model, the first thing it did was quite literally close off part of the model. I.e. the huge spacious cargo bay was completely filled with a pointless technic landing gear.

    Hmmm I for one hope that TLG turns its back on pupils on figs I don't like them they make the figs too detailed and not Legoie enough. I might have mentioned this once or twice (13 times that I can remember ) but I much prefer old Lego SW (1999-about 2002) and pupils (along with technic, endless amounts of characters, and some CW) are responsible for the 'megablockification' of Lego IMO.

    Thanks and yes I am. I might take some more or some better shots tomorrow, at least work on the resizing issues. I've got plenty of time before the snow goes away .

    I was been serious I really like ATOTC and can't see what everyone hates about it, but don't talk to me about PM (IMO CW does not count as a film and is just a glorified episode)

    This Lego Star Wars Set Is Not So Bad After All

    The Twilight is one of those sets that still looks horrible even if you had one, I have had one but sold it on again. As for a set that does look better at second glance, the RGS. this looked blocky and ungainly on the net, but when I finally got my hands on one (a friends, not my own ) I saw that it was good, but not a patch on the old one. (I didn't like the choice of figs though 8 clones would have been better).

    Thanks I looked but I have just realized that I replaced my HD pics with the resized ones *facepalm* not good. Off Topic: up here in west yorkshire the snow is up to my knees (about a foot and a half )

    Well done CB. I like the first and last ones. I also see what you mean about resizing, maybe if I resized them to 50% instead of 25% they would look less bad, (but they looked OK on my computer before I uploaded them). Incidentally what part of England are you in as the snow doesn't look 'that' deep
  15. Aww you change your avi now I wont know its you :(

    Thanks and yes it was on my window ledge, so I could stay in the warm whilst photographing them. The snowtrooper angle one, I liked that one my self. I have a very good camera but brick link reduces the quality a lot, does anyone know how to avoid that?

    Dont be silly ATOTC was the best of them all. (followd by ROTJ)

    Well here's my try. (Unfortunately it looks like brickshelf ruined the quality ) Squad 842 are lost in the snowy wastelands of Hoth The pilot considers the futility of there mission and can see no way out. Trooper TX438 collapse under the stress of it all. Finlay Trooper TL567 decides to help his friend up so they can set off again. ST432 cant see what everyone else is complaining about. The futility of it all. This is how Trooper TX438 copes with the march. And a little bonus Rura Penthe

    Woooow that is good. Maybe you could add a minifig head on the Artoo body or one looking like he is about to get in. and if you have one replace the blue lightsabre blade with a gray one. (that is the first 3 thumbs up I've given, very interesting concept.

    I might have gone to try my first photo shoot, but the snow is so deep here I cant open the door. . On the upside collage has been canceled for the week

    10144 motorized

    If I get any of the CTT then I will probably try and motorise them, or the TIE tank, Sandcrawler, or the any other wheeled or tracked vehicle.

    Best year for LSW

    I agree I would have also voted for 2004 (for all those people angry at my 1999 answer) but only one vote is allowed.

    That's OK it just means that we will all spend our time still talking about nothing. And that's a good point if they are prelims then they cant be posted anyway.
  25. Hmm Unfortunatly I will have have blown all my moneys on LSW sets so will have nothing less for this set but I would get this like a shot if I could.
