Sadly I can confirm that Lego Stores will not be receiving store exclusives but they will be available on Lego Shop@Home. Least that's what I know for US stores anyway. It's pretty disappointing in my own opinion.

Thank you guys for the advice!! Very insightful and helpful! I hope to be able to get some of my first in the near future. Now to search for the ones I want... :)

Hi! I've been following this topic off and on and I recently got my chance to see a bootleg Falcon Capt. up close and it looked and felt like the real Lego. It was crazy. So I want to jump in and start getting these cool figs but I'm not sure what stores on AliExpress are legit and safe to buy from? I know some brands are better than others (DeCool is the best, right?) but I would appreciate if any of you with more experience could point me in the right direction. Thanks!!!

I think BPs could be made better if they made the vehicles based off of things seen in the movies or at least from other media like games ,tv shows, and etc. The FO BP is one of my favorites because the turret is very similar to the Death Star ones from the OT Imo and the figures aren't too bad either (though I don't think we needed another Gunner but whatever). In all honesty, after taking a look of all the BPs they've made, I like most of them. There's 8084 and 9489 that look a little light on parts but they come with speeder bikes which are always welcome. I love their mini walkers from 8014 and 75089 but I love Imperial walkers so maybe that's just me (also I modified them to make them more gray). 75034 is a great model with great exclusive figures (wish I bought more!). Even some of the worst BPs like 75134 and 75079 can be modified to be made a little better but honestly the figures are the selling point for sure. Well that all of my ramblings for now. :)

Wow, great customs everyone! I gotta say that even though Star Wars is something I'm more into, I do like my Superheroes too (well more like villains) and I have made some of my own Purist figs. Haven't taken pics of all of them yet but I would like to share one of my personal favorites with you. Poison Ivy by AJV777, on Flickr I only got the first version of Poison Ivy and haven't gotten my hands on the newer variants and to be honest, I think the first is my favorite except the hair Lego gave her was terrible IMO. So I used an extra Ariel hair piece from the Disney Minifigure series and thought her hair would give my old Poison Ivy a nice updated look. What do you guys think? :)

Less than a month away in a galaxy near us all comes the next installment to the star wars saga! This is my own trailer for The Force Awakens. Star Wars The Force Awakens Lego Trailer by AJV777, on Flickr Thanks to Lord Blako for letting me use his awesome Kylo Ren Saber sound fx https://www.youtube....BlakoSaberFonts and to SGTBizarro for Music from the official trailer without sound fx https://www.youtube....user/SGTBizarro Hope you all like and stay tuned for more! :D

Hello everyone! It's my first time ever sharing any of my animated films here, so I thought I'd share some of my newest films of my first series called: STAR WARS INQUISITION Set before the events of A New Hope, the Empires hunts down the remnants of the Jedi who had escaped the Order 66 purge. The Emperor would form an order of Force Users known as Inquisitors to find and bring the Children of the Force to the Darkside or let them share the same fate as the Jedi. These are the stories of the Inquisitors and those who were a part of the Inquisition. Star Wars Rebels: Inquisitor Mara Jade by AJV777, on Flickr Star Wars Inquisition: Child of the Force (on Youtube) by AJV777, on Flickr STAR WARS Ruins of the Sith by AJV777, on Flickr See them all here: I hope you all like them and would appreciate hearing what you all think. Stay tuned for more in the future! :)
-
Yes it is actually. Glad you like the story so far and enjoyed it. Yeah I've noticed that and it's crazy Imo how that happens. Besides that, I strive to improve on all fronts and I hope it will show in future installments. :)
-
I have been hearing about the new microfighters and I was wondering which ships and characters are they going to be? Thanks!
-
Wow I'm really liking what I've seen with the new sets so far even if they're on the small side (better for my wallet I suppose). I can't believe how great the Rebel (and Resistance) packs are overall with their great selection of figs and pretty nice vehicles too. The Empire (and First Order) are pretty good but I don't think we needed another ground crew in the FO pack. Really wanted another flame trooper. The Gun looks...ok. Might warm up to it. Also not liking the model for the Empire BP either. But enough complaining since I'll probably try to buy them all anyway. lol Might be for star wars if I'm not mistaken, but Chima is one theme I know that does it all the time.
-
Oh good! If that's the case then it shouldn't be too long until I can begin army building them. xD Also hopeful them that the Resistance BP with be just as good as the Rebel BP from Battlefront.
-
The OT storm troopers are quite nice but even if you were to get all the sets they appeared in (Star Destroyer,Slave 1, Advent Calendar) you'd only have only 4 in total. So army building them is not easy. Was hoping they'd be in the new Battle Packs but doesn't seem to be the case. As for the Rebels storm troopers, I didn't like them that much at first but they are easier to army build and way better than the old ones so...yeah I have a small army of them now. xD On an unrelated note: Lego needs to release a Episode 7 Storm Trooper Battle Pack. Just got the transport and I want more of these awesome troopers!
-
"Tiny"!? More like "Super Articulate" Modification! Great job! Would love to know how you made it so I could perhaps make mine articulate as well. :)
-
These are all really nice! I love how you modified the Imperial Shuttle! The Ties are great as well! :)
-
This is really nice! The techniques you used really do give it a bat symbol kinda look. Great MOC! :)
-
Very Nice!
-
Wonderful Job! Ever sine I realized that there were two different versions of the Tie Fighter in TFA , I was wondering what it would look like to make a regular Tie out of the official Special Forces Tie. :) Would you by any chance be able to share some instructions on how you built it? I would love to be able to make it or something similar.
-
One thing I will also add about Kylo Ren's Shuttle is the boarding ramp, which I thought was cool of Lego to add but the think the execution of it could be better since you cant really display the characters going off board the shuttle since when it's down the characters can't fit under it. A random thought , Would the Shuttle look better if it were in white or black? Since I think the grey coloring has caused it to look bland or boring on the box IMO.

Post your general LEGO Star Wars questions here
AJV replied to XimenaPaulina's topic in LEGO Star Wars
They might maybe. It would be a nice opportunity to get an updated TIE Advanced (that's not a Prototype lol) and a Rebels Darth Vader. If they made a Rebels Darth Vader I would hope he have a new Helmet sculpt. Though at this point I'm not sure that'll be any time soon with all the focus on TFA. That an it's not one of he rumored sets for 2016. Hope that helps. -
It's wonderful we can finally talk about these sets openly now that they are released. I like most of them, though I most likely will get all of them eventually. Even ones I did not initially like, one being Kylo Ren's Shuttle, I have warmed up to. Though seeing it in person really got me to like it.Though Kylo Ren's helmet is very oversized and his light saber still makes me kind of sad. The quality issues do concern me and sadly I have another to report. My friend got me the first order snow speeder and it was missing a whole bag. Thankfully it wasn't one with the minifigures in it but I won't be able to finish it the actual model. I'm a little worried about the other sets as well.

Hey guys! Like I mentioned in my first thread, I enjoy making brickfilms and here is my latest film Star Wars Rebels: Inquisitor Mara Jade Set before the events of A New Hope. After the Emperor formed an order of Force users known as the Inquisitors to hunt down the last remnants of Jedi, a young Mara Jade must prove herself worthy of the title: Inquisitor. I am hopeful that this could be the beginning of a new series of films that would focus more on the villains of Star Wars and show the universe from their perspective. So feel free to root for the bad guys. Hope you like it so far and be sure to Stay Tuned For More!

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! Feel free to stay tuned for more. :)

Hey guys! I've been into Lego since I was 2 and now I'm nearly 25 years old. Unlike many of my other hobbies which have come a gone, Lego has always been in my life. Also its what got me into stop motion animation after receiving the Steven Spielberg Lego Movie Maker when I was 9. Star Wars is another hobby that has always stuck with me even though there were times where I wasn't as into it but I always get back into it. So basically I'm a big Star Wars and Lego fan. Oh and I like anime and comic books as well. :) I like to make custom minifgures and mocs. Here's my animations http://www.youtube.com/user/AJVfilms and here are my Mocs and Minfigs https://www.flickr.com/photos/ajv777/ I'll probably post more pics and things in the proper forums. Anyway I'm glad I finally stopped lurking around so much. xD
-
Thank you guys for the warm welcome! :D

I'm glad they made Yularen, It gives us a different Imperial Officer uniform we're most likely not going to get in a set anytime soon. Also it's a great base for making a custom Admiral Thrawn. :)
