Amazing work, jhaelego! You've captured the shape perfectly, it's certainly on a par with cavegod's and Brickplumber's versions. It's a real shame the TLG haven't released a true UCS AT-AT; even if it was scaled slightly smaller it would be stunning and pretty much guaranteed to be a best seller.

Post your general LEGO Star Wars questions here
Lobot replied to XimenaPaulina's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Hi jsharp13, and welcome to Eurobricks! You may find this thread of interest If I recall correctly, you can't see the any of the Tan Hinges - I think I went for Grey and the black levers don't look too bad, but you might want to paint them (or have a look on Ebay where painted ones are often available). Personally I loved building it, and it looks amazing when complete, but it's very fragile! For future reference there's a general Q&A thread pinned to the top of the forum. I'll merge this with it in a bit -
I'm clearly in the minority here, but the new Han just looks awful He looks like a hybrid of John Travolta and the Fonz.... bring back Han from 10179, it's all been downhill from there! Ah well, at least the Death Star seems to be finally in arriving, I'll be interested to see what it looks like.

Don't worry Rich, according to the Argos Autumn-Winter catalogue, the price in the UK will be the same as last year (£24.99) Considering the quality of the minifigures it's definitely worth it, and I haven't thought that about a Star Wars set for quite a while! I'll be buying several of these; it's going to make a very useful army builder and E-3PO is so cute! And, I'm probably in the minority here, but I quite like Chewie; if nothing else he's a significant improvement on Santa Yoda, Santa Maul, Santa Vader, R2-D2 with Antlers etc etc....

Just look at the first post of this thread, or click on the 'arrow' link below: Looking at the box-art of the Star Wars Advent Calendar I'm not surprised that there's a couple of Tatooine-based sets (including a mini-Skiff & Jabba's Palace). It would be great if the Landspeeder does include a Tusken Raider as the previous T-16 set was ridiculously priced in the UK, which limited the volumes available on Bricklink etc. It's one of the few figures in my opinion that was a vast improvement on the original and I'd really like to grab a few. I'm a bit surprised by the lack of ESB or Cloud City sets though, I thought that the inclusion of a Bespin Security Guard & E-3PO in 75146 was a good sign of some other sets for 2017. Hopefully, there may be some other exclusives in the pipeline.....

I could be totally wrong, but having read CapnRex101's comments, it could be a hybrid of 10143 and 10188. One half could include a series of rooms similar to 10188 whilst the other could be either the incomplete 'frame' area of 10143, or alternatively a full outer shell. That could work really well, and might account for his slightly cryptic comments.

If you're referring to the release date of the actual Rogue One film, it's mid-December (16th in the UK). Usually there are two 'waves' of Star Wars sets each year (summer and winter) but 'Force Friday' messed up the usual pattern so it's subject to change! However, it seems logical that the first wave should coincide with the film debut, especially with Christmas so close to it. I'd expect that they'll start appearing in the shops in mid-late November.

Congratulations mortesv, that's brilliant news! I doubt that you'll get much sleep in the next few weeks, so perhaps it's best if you take a break from LDD for a while! I've been following this thread with interest; I'm very tempted to take this on as a project for the winter. The add-ons (especially the GR-75s) really add to the finished look

Hi IanZerbachov, I hope that you don't mind but I've embedded one of the photos for you. For future reference it's very straightforward to do this from Flickr: Firstly select the image you want > Next click on the 'Download this photo' arrow (bottom-right) and select 'View all sizes' > Next click on the link for the one you want (e.g. 640 x 494) > Next right-click on the image and select 'Copy image address' > Next open your post in Eurobricks and select the 'Image' (Tree) icon on the toolbar > Paste the address in the URL box, click 'OK' and you're done! Great work, by the way

Personally, I'd be amazed if the RRP was the same as 10188, considering that it was initially available in 2008 By the time that you've factored in 8 years of inflation and the new 'premium' that TLG seem to be applying to licensed sets, I wouldn't be surprised if it's around the £400 mark (assuming that it's approximately the same size). I could be completely off the mark, but I'd guess that it will retain a similar part count, and number of minifigures, but be noticeably smaller. Although I had the opportunity to buy the old version, it never really appealed to me even though it was very good value for money. I'd love to see an updated UCS Death Star II, intended as a display model, plus a decent array of minifigures to go with it.

Mortesv's UCS Nebulon-B Medical Frigate INSTRUCTIONS AVAILABLE
Lobot replied to Cjd223's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Thanks Cjd223, it's a very impressive list If anyone has problems uploading it via the .XML file, you may need to convert it to a .txt file. I had problems when I tried the standard format, but it was fine with a 'copy and paste' from an open .txt file. If anyone wants a copy of it please PM and I'll forward it on. I'm really tempted to build this, 532 different part types sounds like my sort of challenge! -
Mortesv's UCS Nebulon-B Medical Frigate INSTRUCTIONS AVAILABLE
Lobot replied to Cjd223's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Hi Cjd223 is it possible for you to publish a copy of the parts list, or provide them via email? I'd like to cost it before I commit to building it (and ordering the instructions!); I'd really like to do this as a BL project -
[MOC] UCS Medical Frigate - Further Improvements and INSTRUCTIONS
Lobot replied to mortesv's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Considering that it's ~6,000 parts, and potentially upwards of 450 part types (assuming some rationalisation from the earlier version(s)) I'd guess that the final bill could be in the £7-800 range (or $1000+). Although a decent proportion of parts will be small, and relatively cheap, I think the main problem will be the wide range of different types needed. Unless you are very lucky and find a store with most of the parts, the postage is going to really add up from the multiple orders..... I'm really tempted to have a bash at it though, it could be a fun project for the winter -
Tesco Direct have the new Clone Turbo Tank (75151) on offer at £71.99 at the moment (including the additional £5 reduction which is applied on orders above £40): Link here

Re: the above post, please can I remind everyone of the Site Guidelines; in particular: 'Manners and Serious Topics: Don't be offensive to other members. We like Eurobricks to be a friendly place to discuss LEGO and won't allow posts that are intended to offend or attack. For the same reason, topics (or avatars and other expressions) about religion or politics are not welcome on Eurobricks' Also, please can everyone try to refrain from discussing the cost of sets and minifigures etc. The pricing structure of most licensed sets has increased quite a bit in the last few years and it's just something that we have to accept, thanks for your understanding

Hi Alex, and welcome to Eurobricks! I've merged your post into our existing photography thread to keep the forum tidy The snow looks particularly good - did you use icing sugar?

As mentioned previously, we do not allow the sharing of confidential images via PMs, so please refrain from making this sort of request.

Hi Nick6314, I'm not sure what the point of this thread is? If you want to post any images of your own MOCs here please PM and I'll unlock it for you.

Lobot replied to XimenaPaulina's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Hi Nick6314 As Hold0511 mentioned, Bricklink has a full part list for each set which is usually very accurate. Occasionally, some sets will have 'alternative' parts and these are listed at the bottom of the page. For future reference there's a general Q&A thread pinned to the top of the forum. I'll merge this with it in a bit -
Great work Miro78, and.....

Hi Mikeyjames28, and welcome to Eurobricks! There's a full set of them available here; credit to gaut1202 who put it together a couple of years ago. For future reference, there's a general Q&A thread pinned to the top of this forum. I'll merge this thread with it in a bit -
Thanks for the great review, Bob Unfortunately, even your excellent photos don't make this look anything other than mediocre. And, as I've said before, the cost is totally indefensible but it seems to be following a trend of significant price-hikes amongst other licensed sets. I really don't know what TLG were thinking when they decided to release this; hopefully the UCS Snowspeeder will be in a totally different league, otherwise I might need to find another hobby.

Please can we keep this thread for 2016 Pictures and Rumours, thank you. I'd also appreciate it if discussions about pricing or availability etc could be kept to a minimum, as this inevitably causes problems! For future reference, if anyone feels that a post is inappropriate, there's a 'Report' button which can be used to bring it to the attention of the moderators

Just a gentle reminder that this thread is for 2016 Pictures and Rumours only. If you want to discuss future sets (e.g. those that you'd like to see from Rogue One etc) there's already a dedicated thread for it (here). I'll move some posts shortly; thanks for your understanding
