    A request on Rogue One Movie Spoliers.

    I've only seen it once so I'm sorry I can't answer your question in full, but when I saw it in 3D. Not that I prefer 3D though. It takes me about a half hour to adapt to it. Then again I've only seen a few movies in 3D overall. They didn't have any 2D times when I could go though. That being said once I got into it I'd say it was pretty decent. Space ships flying around and all. It's been a but since I've seen it but I don't remember any extreme moments where I went wow just due to 3D. If you're just going to see it for the first time and you are kind of like me(in not watching a lot of 3D and having to adjust for the first act of the movie), then I recommend 2D. If you've seen it before go for 3D if you have a little extra pocket change to throw down. Why not get a different experience.

    Lol it's a pain, I should just spend a day adding every Star Wars characters name into the word bank, so it won't "correct" it anymore. I only have the C-3PO so for me the figure selection is pretty decent. I'll wait probably till the end of the year when it inevitably goes on sale, then I strike. This why I like sets like this. Even though I have the desert skiff from the last round the new one gives people who missed the first one a chance to buy it. I think it's cool to remake old sets. But hey that's just me. That being said I'd prefer every set isn't a remake adding a nice compromise for both. This wave has a nice mix in my opinion. In the words of the Magic Conch Shell from Spongebob "maybe some day". In all seriousness I hope so. I made sure to buy him in the last set he was in as I didn't figure he'd appear for long while if ever. But I do hope he will appear in a set sometime. Dual molded arms would look great on him I feel. Not gonna lie, I'm relieved I didn't throw down the cash on that Freemakers set for Dengar since he is rumoured for the battlepack. On the First Order Pack I'm also excited too. The Flametrooper sounds cool. I'm really hoping he comes with the backpack and the flame gun the other ones came with, instead of a stud shooter. I've never really hated stud shooters, they were kind of neat when I first saw them, but I'd be a bit sad if they took up the spot of a specialized weapon rather than just regular blasters.

    Yes I always think what if I hadn't got that set, I'd be having some serious buyers remorse. Like it's not a Star Wars set but I remember buying the ant man final battle set the first time I saw it and I never saw the set in stores a day after that. I still get chills thinking about what if I'd decided not to get it. Or when I see a big UCS Star Wars retiring, I get slightly tense even though I've never bought nor do I plan to buy a UCS just due to cost.

    I believe he means the first post/page of this thread Regarding the bounty hunter pack I'm hoping for dual molded arms on that Bossk. I'd really like 4-Lom and Zuckuss but as they are kind of a team it seems a bit weird to get one without the other. If it is an Episode 5 set then I could see Boba Fett being in it, but due to the amount of sets he is in that seems unlikely. In some of the CW episodes they had a small bounty hunting team which had a young Boba(rumoured in another set), Dengar, Bossk, and some others. I don't recall IG-88 being apart though, I could be wrong though. Aurra Sing was a member of the crew I think though, so maybe she could be the last figure. Or even Cad Bane. But that's a bit of an obscure reference to a random Clone Wars episode. To me it'd make sense to get IG-88, Bossk, Zuckuss, and 4-LOM making it to where those who want the whole crew would need to purchase the Freemakers set with Dengar (pause for sinister laugh). Considering it is a super cheap set I'd be happy with just any one of those figs to get 3 unique ones, at least, is spectacular. I honestly don't care if it's another Boba(still hoping for another new fig though) I'm just thrilled with the current line up!
  6. Let me think of what sets I even bought. Here are the sets I bought in 2016 that came out in 2016(and Star Wars), at least those I remember. In no particular order. Resistance Trooper Pack: It has some great mini figures and it has a nice build. I felt the build was a little thin but since it is a battlepack I'll cut it some slack. This pack will become invaluable when future movies release. First Order Pack: Again Great set, while some criticized it as am army builder because it only had one stormtrooper, I enjoyed the diversity a lot. It gave me some unique minifigs without having to buy the big sets. Rebel Alliance Pack: a nice speeder and that Rodian trooper is excellent. Galactic Empire Pack: nice set with super usable minifigs, I like the command base but the detachable turret steals the show. My only thing is I wish the Shock Trooper had a pack or something I feel like he is a little incomplete, though I really like him. Tie Fighter Advanced Micro-fighter: my first micro fighter and I must say I really liked it! I plan on picking up more in the future for sure! Droid Escape Pod: I bought this mostly for the 3-po not gonna lie, but the build was impressive! Carbon Freezing Chamber: great set, I liked the carbon frozen Han and the Ugnaught were great new additions to my collection. Hoth Attack: I like the little gun the snowtrooper has and the droid is cool too. I like how you can fold up the base for the turret to change it up some. Battle of Takodana: bought it on sell, of course, and I'm glad I did! The minifigs are great I got my first and only Finn and Kylo Ren! A must for any collection. Plus the two stormies are a nice addition. At-St: one of my favorites. Decent figures and the set is awesome. As I bought it for 20% off which was crazy for a set that just came out; I'm super pleased with it! Probably one of my top sets for sure. Those were all the 2016 Are Wars sets I've gotten so far. My plan is to buy some of the larger sets on sale next year. I don't think I've bought Lego set that wasn't on sale for the better half of this year

    Rogue One movie discussion thread

    I don't recall where I saw it, but I read somewhere that Scarif was basically a place where imperial officers retired in a way. The place is basically a paradise as far as location, looks, and I'd assume temperature. Plus it is a library basically so the chances of getting attacked probably aren't extremely high compared to other worlds like Jedha for example. So many officers just kind of relaxed there. Tarkin just took the opportunity to remove those officers. Probably not the best move considering the all things. Update: I found where I saw this at, the Rogue One novel. Here is the quote, sorry the font is weird I copied and pasted it from a site(side note "it" means Scarif and the base): "Tarkin would not miss it. Over the years, too many officers had treated it as a place for unofficial retirement; a tropical paradise where they could neglect their duty in comfort. The loss of the Citadel and the planetary shield would be a pity— but no more than that. "

    I never bothered to get any of the Rebels sets, because I was waiting to see the show and all. I still haven't seen much of the show but I notice a lot of the rebels sets disappearing fast so now I'm on a quest to try to grab some before they are gone for good.

    Rogue One movie discussion thread

    Lol I wouldn't say it bothered me by any means but I thought the same thing when I watched the movie an hour or two ago. I really liked the r2 and 3po cameo it keeps their record in tact as being in all the movies(prequels, original trilogy, The Force Awakens, Rogue One, not counting other things) I really enjoyed it overall. I was dissapointed halfway through I didn't get to see more of Vader but then he returned for the final act and had some great action scenes I liked a lot. I just felt like it came together well. I didn't even realize Tarkin was part CGI, though when I first saw him I was super surprised how close to the original he looked. I really felt like the sets were good. I hope we get more sets. Maybe something cheaper with K-2 to spare my wallet from buying the big set. I saw quite a few set opportunities between rebel ships, and all sorts of locations I certainly hope we see more in the future now time to figure out which one of the characters in rogue one is really snoke hmmmmmm

    Wow people already have the sets! Are the sets on the shelves or anyone know any prices for the U.S.?

    LEGO Star Wars 2017 Pictures and Rumors

    That would be awesome. I remember friend that on the Battlefront 2 so the nostalgia would be huge. Just hoping it isn't an AT-ET or a turbo tank again. Even if it is one of those it is still a great wave. I hope the bounty hunter battlepack has named characters, if not than that is cool too as I can always use a few random aliens or guys to go with my jabba.

    LEGO Star Wars 2017 Pictures and Rumors

    Wow those sets! 10/10 I wonder what the bounty hunter battlepack will have. Vader's Transformation sounds awesome so does Rathtar escape. To be honest they all sound great! I better go out and get some extra cash because between these sets and the Batman Movie I'm going to be broke! Super excited!

    It's been awhile since I've seen the movie but I don't recall that in it. Either way I think it looks really nice. It adds a lot of texture and some nice color I think

    Me too, I can't seem to find anything online if anyone knows where I'd be curious. Within the rules of course! This sounds like a good wave.

    Future Star Wars Sets

    I could see the Bart slingshot piece being used. I don't remember if they had slingshots in the movie, but in the original video game the ewoks and wicket all had slingshots if I recall. Then some spears would fit. It'd be a nice battlepack This is way in the future but I could see some nice stuff coming from the Han Solo movie. Possibly new stuff on all of the classic bounty hunters. Maybe even new Jabba stuff. Probably yet another Millennium Falcon. That's all speculation though. I'd just like a cheap way to get some of the bounty hunters like Bossk, 4-lom, Zuckuss, and even Ig-88 type droids. I regret not getting the old battlepack that had 5 of them(IG-88) Either way just brainstorming some ways those minifigs could appear in future sets. It's unlikely but stranger things have happened.
  16. Same, Bought the AT-ST 20% off recently.While that isn't huge savings, I had never seen it at all in store so I was a bit surprised when I saw it at a lower price. I was planning on getting the hovertank but considering they we're almost the same price I had to get the AT-ST. Good thing too, the hovertank looks to be almost 30% on off online. Oh and the AT-ST has become one of my favorite sets! Awesome! I've considered getting that set. I figure it will probably be the only time we'll get that K-2SO and director krennic for awhile, but I want to see the next wave. Or at least get some more Rogue One set names. Then I can weight my options. But if that set dips below 35% online than i'll pounce.That'll probably be a little while though, if ever. Fingers crossed that happens or they release a $30 set with that droid

    [MOC] Y-Tie advanced

    Very unique and inspirational! I could see maybe a little bit more detail on the top of the y-wing would look nice. But for just coming from spare bricks it looks great. And as you said I agree an increased turret would look awesome!
  18. FishW

    [MOC] STAP

    Yeah I agree this looks great! the little platform near the bottom would be where his feat usually go, but the overall look is great. Those handlebars seem pretty cool. I'd like to see some STAPs released as it's been awhile since we've had some.

    [MOC] TFA Resistance Gian Speeder

    Even though I really like the battle pack, I must say your speeder seems much more complete! The sides look much better! Great work!

    TIE Defender MOC help needed

    Looks great reminds me of the old days of playing as this fighter in some video game. My big thing would be like making sure where it connects to the cockpit is stable, but that may already be stable. I must say it looks a lot better than the one Lego made years back. Maybe you could have some way for it to attach to a stand with a ladder so you could have the pilot get in and crew work on, plus you'd get a place to display it. That'd be kinda neat but difficult to an extent.

    [MOC][LDD] Imperial Palace

    Nice I haven't seen the comic, so I can't mention as to it's authenticity, bit overall it looks really good. I like how you included some play features which really helped bring it to life. The desk and the chairs seem nicely designed. I could see a small entrance structure being added to increase it a little bit maybe. But I really like it as it sits! Great work!
  22. FishW

    [MOC] Desert Skiff(s)

    Wow really great work! I like the side rail. It has a nice smooth look to it all the way through. I think the first one has a nice color scheme, though the second one is more size accurate. Both look great though!

    LEGO Star Wars 2017 Pictures and Rumors

    Thank you! That would be very interesting, I wouldn't mind that too much as normally given enough time the sets appear on Amazon or similar retailers. Hopefully they are actual sets and not like polybags or a promotional thing. That'd make them harder to get for people. And drive the price up significantly on other markets.

    LEGO Star Wars 2017 Pictures and Rumors

    I really like this wave! It has some great figures and some solid entries. Does anyone know the USD prices though?Also Vader's Transformation and the Death gang(fingers crossed for a rathtar) are set for summer release right?
  25. I recently picked up the Droid Escape Pod! It was 20% off and I desperately needed a C-3PO and the Jawas were a nice touch. Little disappointed though as I saw the land speeder set, that is coming out, and it has slightly better minifigs, in my opinion, plus it has C-3PO also. Probably should have waited. Oh well the droid escape pod was still a great set.
