spotted on Reddit On my 2020 wishlist for my 10240 X-Wing

In April, DK Books will be releasing the LEGO Star Wars Character Encyclopedia: New Edition has it been some previous versions ? is it worth the purchase ? thanks

.

I stick to my opinion, and frankly, it was not a troll. I deleted the original post to avoid the quotes with the sole objective of free bashing. At first i truly believed that this was a forum filled with lego fans and above all, adults, willing to discuss without judging each others... To me, being a lego fan does not mean say amen and applaud for every product. Are we still allowed to give and share our opinions without being called pathetic or other words here ? I didn't like those helmets, i said why and my thread title contained a question, open for discussion. I was more expecting constructive feedbacks and responses like: i don't agree with you and hear out for others' opinion, not to be quoted and be called with some overreacted words... From now on, i'll keep buying lego sets (all types of sets, not only SW) and keep building MOCs from talented designers kind enough to share with us their creations, but i'll stop participating to this forum. For the other members with who i had the pleasure to have good discussions: bye guys, live long and prosper.

I'm just giving my opinion you know.. It's a forum, we are here to share, to discuss... it's only my humble opinion. If you remember, when TLG release the latest ISD, people were unhappy so in response, they launched a poll to determine the next UCS ship. Well, in my case i only think that those helmets are not very satisfying considering that they are meant to target adults. If initially they were just toys i would not have said anything, but since they are 18+ sets, i don't think they are not worth buying. My comparison vs MOCs is about the level of details. For instance, if Bobba's forehead was smoother and less bricky, it would have been nicer

indeed, if it was meant for children, i wouldn't care about the bricky aspect, here it is clearly for adults. Even some lego brickheadz are curvy and less bricky than those helmets Anyway, i guess that after official sets, we will some MOCs coming not long after

ok thanks a lot :)

hi there, the instructions are no longer accessible on Bricklink, TLG removed them all :( would you mind letting me know the part number of the black part holding the 2 legs ? thanks

Hi everyone, just wondering, most engines look the same on the SW ships. Would it be easy to adopt this kind of design ? or is it unaccurate in the SW universe ? thanks

I think that this bar has not been updated and not moved ever since. Still waiting for good news so that i can place my order :)

What i regret is the lack of back up from Lego to the community. The success of Lego relies on a strong community buying products and also bricks to build MOCs. First, we have noticed that ever since they bought Bricklink, instructions were all removed to build MOCs while these instructions are definitely not Lego's property but the community's industrial property. Second, Lego is protecting no one but itself against fraudulent sellers or manufacturers such as Chinese counterfeiters Lego cares about its own business and that's it. There is nothing sole individuals could do against those guys.

As long as these guys are making money, therefore commissions for merchant sites, no one will make any move to stop them unless they are counterfeiting expensive stuff like Vuitton bags. One can only take a lawyer and sue them directly hoping for a significant compensation if lawsuit is successful

indeed i saw this design and posted it here in order to ask if it was possible to see this kind of engine on a SW MOC more here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/noblebun/

Yes, definitely it could work well with Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle too

nice at first i wasn't fan of those minis, but the more i see them and especially how in the end, surprisingly it could be very detailed despite having very few parts is just amazing When i'm done building my last 2 MOCs i'll start a collection of minis :)

I didn't like how characters were drawn and the story, but i'm a huge fan of Clone Wars

I don't recall seeing this ship in any movie, but it really reminds me of my nostalgic teenage period when i was playing X-Wing and X-Wing vs Tie Fighter on my PC in the early 90's the graphics were ok but the games were awesome so were the ships, very detailed in the games

Just so that too :( it says for display only, TLG is really killing Bricklink... By the way, have you found a little trick to fix the falling rear below the engine mod ?

In a way, I am reassured because when i finished the mod, i realized that the rear bottom of the MF was loose and I thought that a piece to retain it fell off I don't remember that the original engine was holding the bottom ? was it ?

you're welcome, no worries, happy to help. What could be useful is a secondary part list for those who have the official set, just to know which additional part to buy, otherwise sorting out parts of the set from the part list to build the MOC would be a real headache that's what i don't like with Bricklink when it says for example 97% of parts, but the site doesn't say the 3% missing

Hi there, here was his answer:

there was a short circuit with the lighting system, it's now KO, i returned it to Amazon

Hi any news ? Do you think instructions would be available in the coming days or weeks ? thanks

my apologizes it is easy to be suspicious nowadays with people selling illegally stuff on ebay, we've seen plenty of sites being reported...
