Oh my, completely forgot about that. I have seen a few episodes, and when I saw the TIE Advanced, it just looked like the movie to me.
-
Very useful, and good observations.
-
If you look at the ship from the front, you can see that the panels angle in at a 45 degree angle. http://vignette4.wik...=20150310124250

Agreed. The design of the very first TIE advanced is breathtaking. I look at it, and it's so realistic that I think it's not even LEGO. I have dedicated a shrine to 7150 and worship it every day. I like puns
-
Lookin' good.
-
The "hallway" leading to the cockpit looks.. off. Maybe it's a bit too high, or maybe its me, but it looks too "sticky-out."
-
Why the hell is the cockpit piece on that falcon black Why not light bley? Or better yet, the printed piece used in the microfighter?
-
Is it out now? how did you get it early?

OK, thanks for all the feedback, lets answer some questions. I am in fact not whining, just making some observations of the size of the ship and such. I in fact love the new TIE, I'm just interested in things like this. No need to add salt into the mix. I know, I was not talking about those angles, but instead, the angles of the corers of the panels. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Mmmm, I did some digging, the model I was referencing implied it was a studio one, when in fact it wasn't. I rewatched the Battle of Yavin and paused it at certain times, and yes, you both are right. Sorry for the false information. Yeah, here in Australia, it will cost about 150 dollars, which is just, ridiculous. Yes, it is simply gorgeous. and the fact that they FINALLY got the colours right, and didn't use dark bley.

This is great, and reminds me of another topic from a month or so back, take a look, yours and his are very similar. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=117354

I'm much more fond of the rebel pack than this one, the vehicle is, while not great, far better than the thing in this set, and the troopers are way more generic in the rebel one than in this one, and they have better detailing.
-
get the TIE. I missed out on it, and I regret it, as it is a great set. In other news, I've looked into it, and the old TIE advanced has a more accurate sing shape and legth. Also, the proportions on the back rounded part of the TIE is more accurately shaped. However, the new TIE is more accurate on the front part, as it looks alot more rounded and closer to the real thing. My final thoughts are, wait until a price drop on the new set, and mod it so that its a bit longer. I think this is a better option, as the new one looks alot more solid, with a much better wing design. However, the slant on the wings should be a 45 degree angle, not the 20 something degree angle on the official one.
-
this is justmy opinion, but I really don't like the blue windshield. Sure, it saves money, but it looks too... Kiddy? Like when I used to make things with whatever colours I had?
-
it's a shame it's not real LEGO, but its very impressive for a CGI photo!
-
Hm, I didn't know that.
-
I think the new TIE is a HUGE improvement over the old one, I have it, and its far too blocky. The new one uses a new design for the wing border, which is probably the best they can get without hinges flopping about. Making the wings about 2 or 3 studs longer wouldn't be too difficult to MOD. I still wish the Vader in this one had leg printing. I guess I'll just use my Death Star Trooper legs. No where near as good as the old one? The new one looks alot better, in my opinion. Also, this one is actually light bley, where the old one is more dark bley, and looks wrong.
-
the solar panels on Vader's TIE look too short.
-
I think this would greatly benefit from some dark brown on the handle.
-
The only new one I'm hoping to get is the resistance x wing or the a wing and tie advanced, which here in Australia, will cost about 150 dollars!

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

Finn, for the sole reason that his jacket is awesome. -
I like this vignette very much! It's simple, yet effective.
-
I guess Han Solo must have got his pants from a really popular store.

There's already a thread exactly like this one. just wait for a moderator to lock it.

Incredible.

Has anyone made a version of this set without the magnets?
