    „The LIZARD“ XVS-10 Light Freighter

    It's very cool and definitely resembles a lizard. I would suggest some downward or rotating engines for thrust required to lift the cargo. Great build and photography!

    [REVIEW] 75144 - UCS Snowspeeder

    I like the review and thanks for the video of the underside. Since the pole is not working I'll say I think this set is outstanding. I will be buying day one. I will get rid of the mini-figures, maybe sell them on Ebay, because I really think their inclusion in UCS sets are just an ugly distraction. Also I'm not a fan of the pictures of the parts before each module is build. Makes for a picture heavy review. If you're going to include that many pictures I'd prefer the pictures to be of more angles of the completed build. Thanks for taking the time to show us this ship.

    [REVIEW] 75144 - UCS Snowspeeder

    Are those two little wings secured to the side wings in any fashion and if not do they move out of place if bumped? Also is there front landing gear and if so how well does it work?

    These are terrific! I really enjoyed looking at them. Thanks for sharing!
  5. I don't thing TLG ever claimed they were making a Millennium Falcon. They try to keep it as secret as possible prior to an official press release.
  6. I noticed that Brickset.com had a 2017 Star Wars set listed for the longest time as the UCS snowspeeder. It has now changed to just a regular unknown Star Wars set. Usually Brickset is not wrong when they post a listing. Anyone suspect that TLG is leaking false info to throw us off for the big release of the Millennium Falcon? Or maybe the Millennium Falcon is false as well and they have something completely unexpected planned for the 40th?

    71040 The Disney Castle Discussion

    I have no interest in piece count or price per piece, for me that has always been a none issue. As an AFOL I am just wanting a good looking set that appeals to me for display. For example Big Ben. It is very appealing to look at, but at the same time I realize that it is a very repetitive build. So I ask myself do I really want to spent that much time building it when the concept of Big Ben could have been captured just as easily in a architecture set. I guess my tastes are just changing and I don't have the desire to build something that big when the building process is mundane.

    71040 The Disney Castle Discussion

    I think if they would have done a large architecture Disney castle, skipped the minifigs and interior all together they could have made a much better looking and intricate display piece. Such as the United States Capitol building, which I'm starting to prefer over all there recent big structures, i.e. big Ben, ghost busters headquarters, and this one. So on the plus side there's no temptation for me to spend money on any of these monstrosities.

    71040 The Disney Castle Discussion

    The simplistic nature of the build with large pieces and boring ugly colors makes this very underwhelming to me. Glad to save my money though, so thanks for that Lego.

    Very cool!! I bet it's really fun to play with.
  12. Yes, very impressive! I will be getting this. Between this and the technic Porsche 911 it's going to be an expensive year for me with lego. Not to mention Cinderella's Castle which will probably be just as amazing and a must-have.
  13. Personally, if I were to build it I'd just use glue. They do it in legoland and it's not like you'd ever want to dismantle it.
  14. I don't know much about the well-known facts of the model. Just thought you might be interested in the review and wasn't sure how close you were to completion of the model. Good luck with it though, no doubt it looks nice!
  15. Have you guys seen the review of this build ? Sounds like there are some serious stability issues with the legs if you don't modify them to include technic elements.

    LEGO Star Wars 2016 Pictures and Rumors

    I'm really looking forward to the UCS snowspeeder. I missed out on the first release and hope to see a nicely updated version like the x-wing. I'm also exited to see what they do with the UCS death star and I doubt it would be another playset.
  17. I love this vehicle! My favorite of the bunch! Something about it just speaks to me. Maybe it's the color scheme, the simplicity of the build, or the uniqueness of it. Whatever it is, it's a must-have for me. Thanks for the review.

    Very sleek and stylish. The landing gear is a nice touch. Gotta love Octan and I love this model too!
  21. Oh, I hope not. We'll see soon I guess.
  22. I put mine together last night and it's a beauty! My box came in the mail crushed on one end and one piece 4201201 was mangled. Today I called for a replacement and the guy I ordered from asked me how I liked the set and indicated that a Mercedes was to be released in August. Has anyone heard of this yet? Sorry, I couldn't find a rumours thread.
