    General Grievous custom minifig

    The arms are two of these , they are used for the upperlegs as well. All 4 are connected with pieces of grey hose to GG's original arms and legs. The additional arms are connected to his neck by one of these

    Review: 8128 Cad Bane's Speeder

    Thanks Inconspicuous for this more than excellent review. Although I'm not a great fan of this set you almost made me buy one!! Good photos, nice lay-out, excellent selection of pix. Well done DR

    LEGO Star Wars 2010 Pictures and Rumors

    Thanks Whung for the pix (you always pull it off! ) UCS Delta-7 looks very good. I prefer a detailed minifig scale model, but that's just my personal taste. They could have easily made it a bit smaller, with the same amount of detail (a bit bigger than minifig scale is no problem for me) and add a normal droid and a cool new fig. Alas, we already have the great Imperial shuttle, so you won't hear me complain. Cubedudes are not my kind of thing, but I just love the packaging!! Won't buy a product just for the box though... DR PS: two things really bothering me: 1. could this cavegod guy please stop telling us how great his creations are and how Lego steals his designs... The design is from Lucas. Recreating it in Lego (especially when you use the cockpit piece) ends up in a certain scale. No wonder it looks like yours. 2. Is this UCS discussion ever going to stop, it's starting to get really boring....

    That wasn’t a laser blast. Something hit us.

    Excellent work. Good detailing of the asteroids and nice photoshop skills. My winner for the medium entry

    General Grievous custom minifig

    thanx Cloney, the cape is made out of a grey sticker (decal) stuck to reddish/brown fabric. De GG logo is made of black sticker material. Unfortunately for you ;-) the cape is handmade and was not part of the set.

    General Grievous custom minifig

    GG is 2.16 mtrs tall, so I'm not saying the proportions are exactly right, but it's in scale with normal figs Hey Daniel's dad, I will make a pic of the construction tomorrow. Kieldaman, I will make a pic tomorrow duelling with Obi Please feel free to do so, no problem You are absolutely right!

    Good morning guys, I thought from the pix of the imperial shuttle that there was no boarding ramp, but this pic makes me have doubts... any thoughts? Have a good day DR

    More pix of the back, details and features on: One critical note: landing gear seems to be separate. That's a pity.

    Review: 10030 UCS Imperial Star Destroyer

    Whooooww, thanx ZO6 for putting so much effort in this review. I had a great time reading it! Terrific set and really setting the standard for AFOL UCS sets. I don't own it, but that saves some space for my UCS Falcon and now Lego releases the Imperial Shuttle, a set I will definately buy! You too? Thanx again DR

    ooohh maaaaan, this is beyond all my expectations! Thanx Lego! I'd never thought they would make something this accurate and detailed. Now let's pray it's not fake ;-) DR

    Please be excited! I am too, VERY much! I just didn't want people to get deaper into another UCS model yes/no discussion.

    I was reacting on TheBrickHitHouse's post. Please don't be offended and let's get back on topic! After all this Shuttle is almost too good to be true. I never thought Lego would come up with such a detailed SNOT model. Hats off to them!

    Could we please stop this UCS discussion for now to eternity! It's a great model, if it's too expensive don't buy it. It has minifigs and it's big, what's the difference whether it has a 4 or 5 digit productcode, or if it has UCS on it or not. If you like it, buy it, when you have the money. If you don't like it or think it's too big build your own version, it's Lego in the end.

    this pic seems to be from the instructions. Maybe a bit more clear than the previous one. I see some lighter stripes on the sides of the cockpit, so it might be brick built. But I'm not sure. Nonetheless a great model! Sorry if this pic has already been posted. DR

    haha Future 74, you made me smile! I'm just not a big fan of Lego's version of the starfighters, but for a regular starfighter (like Anakin's or Ahsoka's) it's OK. They should 've made it dark blue in my opinion though and I would prefer the dark blue droid Plo has in EPIII instead of this one. The Lego version is just not really slick like the fighters from the movies, but I understand that it must fit with the older Lego starfighters, so that's why I didn't comment. Keeping this in regard, they did an OK job. Hope you are satisfied with this comment thanx and C U Dutch Rebel

    Thanx for the pics Tyleraf. Absolutely love the Slave I ! and Grievous' fighter. Not 100% sure about the Hoth Cave, but I'll probably end up buying it ;-). Think I'll get the droid from Palpatines shuttle and Aayla from Bricklink. One critical note: IMHO they could 've done a better job on General Grievous himself... Looking forward to their release.

    [Review] 7191 UCS X-Wing Fighter

    Cool review, loved reading it, thanx! Time for Lego to release an UCS minifigscale edition IMO. I guess they wait with it to the very end... DR

    Flickr update

    Hey my fellow Eurobricks fans! Hope you all had a nice Christmas. Guess it was time to show you guys my latest MOC's. I updated my Flickr stream http://www.flickr.com/photos/dutchrebel/ with photos of my A-wing (all credits to Jerac), Luke's landspeeder (all credits to Lars) and my very own snowspeeder. There's also a pic of some custom clone commanders. Hope you enjoy 'm and a very happy and creative new year to all of you. DR

    I was hoping for exactly the opposite: a detailed shuttle, with minifigs, like the UCS MF. I was thinking... a cockpit with room for about 6 people and a ramp from the back of the cockpit. But I guess it must also attract kids ;-) I'm just a sucker for detailed models that look good on my shelf. Swooshing and playing with it was something from my youth, no offense! DR
