If you don't have tiles something else you can try is SNOT. Here's an example of a mostly SNOT floor.

Hmm, Rax sounds a lot like Vergere. Be careful all your troopers don't fall to the Dark Side!

You're using stickered parts to very nice effect in your MOCs.

Just want to second this. Your MOCs are very cool. If or when you get tiles to smooth out certain surfaces you could take your builds to the next level. But there's no shame in building with what you have.

How did I miss this before? Your story is fantastic! I can't wait to see more of the rise of the Sith.

That house is stunning. Amazing work! My only complaint is that you used a Star Trek phrase (live long and prosper) in a Star Wars MOC!

Just got both my orders from Nov 18th. So glad they arrived in time for Christmas!

It should be safe yes. Especially if it's a sealed set the bags inside the box will keep the Lego safe. The things you want to watch out for are water, sun exposure, and extreme temperatures.

For someone living in Europe, what's the best way to buy a full set of 12? I heard Lego is selling sets of 6 in the States on the brand site. But not in Europe. I get the move to cardboard, but Lego seriously needs to give us a reliable way to get figs now that bags are gone. I'm willing to buy full sets if that's what it takes, but they aren't even giving us that option.

INTRODUCTION Star Wars is known for being home to many grayscale ships. So when you see this set next to all the other gray Star Wars sets it really pops. But is color enough to sell a set? Yes. Yes it is. But we get so much more than that with this two-for-one ship kit. I'm going to preface this review by saying I'm a huge fan of the EU. And while I enjoyed the Ahsoka show it wasn't my favorite. But when I saw the Ahsoka trailers showing off the E-Wing (an EU staple) and dark Jedi who weren't Sith (another EU staple) I was pretty excited to see them in Lego form. Since the show ended awhile ago I'm also going to have spoilers for the show in the review. SET INFORMATION Number: 75364 Title: New Republic E-Wing vs Shin Hati's Starfighter Theme: Star Wars Released: 2023 Part Count: 1056 Box Dimensions: 54 x 28.2 x 5.9 cm Weight: 1426g Set Price (RRP): £94.99/$109.99/€104.99 Price per Part: 9.0p/10.4c/9.9c Links: Brickset, Bricklink THE BOX On the front we get a dynamic battle scene between the two ships, a battle which never happened in the show. This bugs some people but not me. The ships were in the show. Lego put them both in one set. It just works for me. I know some have compared this to the Fang Fighter vs Interceptor set we got for Mando season 3. But that set had two grayscale ships. And most people just wanted the Interceptor to build a fleet. This set doesn't suffer from either of those issues. It's likely the E-Wing is more mass-able, but Shin's fighter is also great for generic pirate fleets and has useful colors for building other Star Wars MOCs. The back shows another scene that never took place in the show. But it does a good job of showing off play features. CONTENTS OF THE BOX Inside are 10 bags, the instructions and a small sticker sheet. I'm really glad the canopies are both printed. But I wish some of the other parts were printed too. Stickers just don't last long enough. THE BUILD I'll start with the E-Wing. Having built an E-Wing MOC years ago I was interested to know how Lego would handle the shaping and dimensions. Because of the way the wings hang so low the nose sits pretty high off the ground. So it's hard to get it to look natural. But Lego did a great job! The angles all match up so nicely. Here's a behind the scenes view. And the underside shows the Technic used to get the wings and landing gear just right. And the pilot's seat comes out revealing a good sized storage area. But what about Shin's ship? Fantastic colors, fantastic shaping, and a style that screams "P51 Mustang" make this ship really stand out. With no landing gear it doesn't sit as high as the E-Wing so you'll need to build a custom stand if you want to display these together. But since the ships never meet in the show maybe that won't be an issue for you. This ships also has a lot of storage including a hidden compartment not even shown on the box! And if you really wanted you could smuggle a person inside the first compartment. The rounded nose section is built using tri-technic pieces. It works with great effect. Though there are some gaps between the nose and the wings that can be a little unsightly at certain angles. But most of the time you hardly notice the gaps. There are a few notable parts included in the set including a brand new slope piece I had never seen before. I'm no New Elementary contributor, but I thought I'd show some of the similarities and differences with this piece. At 6 studs long it's got a lower profile than the new wedge slope introduced for Speed Champions as well as the standard 1x4 slope. But turns out it's the same length as the large 6x8 roof piece. But what about the figures? In my opinion these looks great. The astromech is a loud yellow and blue which is just fun. All figures have new and exclusive prints and parts. Morgan Elsbeth could have had printing on her skirt. But I don't think it's necessary. It only stands out because everyone else is so detailed with their leg prints. The backsides continue the printing wins... except for the astromech! Seriously Lego, we know you can print on the backside now that you've done it with R2. Stop making us wait for it to become the standard for all future astromechs! And one more shot for good measure. Could the figures have been better? Maybe slightly. Giving Ray (I mean Baylan) shoulder pads would have helped give him just a tiny bit more height. And of course having orange instead of red sabers is a must. But for me, part of the fun of Lego is getting to make those changes myself. My son doesn't care that Baylan has a red lightsaber. He just wants to play with them. And the orange blades are easy to obtain from Bricklink right now. OVERALL This may be the best Lego set I've built since the Lion Knight's Castle. It's a great build experience, has fun and new techniques, good figures, and a color scheme that really pops! I have a few tiny quibbles, but I would recommend this set to any Star Wars fan in a heart beat. SCORE How do I rate this set? DESIGN 10 Great techniques used to build the ships and a fantastic color scheme. BUILDING EXPERIENCE 10 I had to fight my son to be able to build this. We both enjoyed it so much. FEATURES 10 These ships have been swooshed a lot in my house. PLAYABILITY 10 Totally playable. But also very versatile if you want it for parts. PARTS 10 New parts, new colors, and new figures; what more could you ask for? VALUE FOR MONEY 10 Coming in just over $100 you want to make sure you're getting a good value for your money when you buy it, and indeed you are! FINAL SCORE: 10 Almost perfection in a Lego set. I can't recommend this highly enough. Plus, I've seen it on sale at both Costco and on Amazon. What are you waiting for? Go buy it already!

Still waiting on my order from the 18th of Nov. Really hoping it ships by Monday as I was planning to use some of the pieces as a Christmas present.

It's possible, but depending on the type of cape it would crease the fabric.

This is exactly what a re-make should look like! Fantastic attention to detail. Love your palm tree, custom raised base, and of course your bridges. I wish Lego had gone with more tiled surfaces for the Eldorado remake. They could learn a thing or two from you!

This is a great MOC! I love the attention to detail like having ysalamiri in the trees. Though I do love anything with Thrawn so maybe I'm biased!

If you think your post has been deleted you should think twice before posting the same information again. The rumor mill has finally stopped on the young Leia so I'll let this comment stand. But please read the rules and especially posts by moderators. If you had read what I posted you'd know why. Thank you for bringing the conversation back on track.

I just hid a dozen posts about the rumored mystery figure. We don't know who it is. Guessing is no longer allowed in this topic. If you'd like to create a new topic to continuing guessing that's fine. But until we have something more concrete do not post any more guesses or posts about guesses.

The reason the single figure guessing game dominated the discussion is simple. It was the choice of every member who threw out a guess and then debated said guesses. As the Star Wars Moderator I allowed the guessing to continue since we didn't have a lot of news. It's a forum, so even though I've been applying the brakes on the discussion it takes a few pages for it to officially die down. The alternative is to lock the thread and force the discussion to stop but nobody wants that, myself included. Be patient with each other. Be patient with Falconfan. Show some grace and go open a Lego set you've been saving for your kids but actually want for yourself. The topic of the mystery figure is closed. We'll see it when we see it. Back on topic, my kids are so excited for a Nubbs figure. And I love the printed parts on the Crimson Firehawk. But I know if I get them the set they'll want the ship. And I don't want to buy two of that expensive parts pack! What to do, what to do...

I first noticed this in my Viking Village set. But now that I've seen the injection mold points I can't unsee them. They are noticeable on almost every "new" piece! Not sure when the change happened, but sometime in the last 3 years is my best guess. It was so bad I opened a complaint with TLG customer service. I'm still in active dialogue with them explaining my concern and showing pictures that prove it's gotten worse. Would you mind if I shared your picture? As for the set. I didn't even realize that was Aberforth, I thought it was Dumbledore! This calendar is pretty bad. I'm glad I went for the Marvel one for my kids instead this year.

Welcome @Max_Lego great to have you!

The Dark Side The Dark Side is the powerful, malignant and often mysterious force, which terrorizes the Galaxy in the hope of obtaining one thing: total and absolute power. Since the Fall of the Empire, however, the free and open government of the New Republic has been spreading across the Galaxy, forcing the Imperial military into retreat. Despite the tides of war turning against their favour, the Dark Side remains a potent and aggressive force who believe they can lead themselves to a glorious victory! The Dark Side Faction: The Dark Side is more than just Imperials, here are examples of some of the many groups who form the Dark Side. Imperial Remnants After the death of Emperor Palpatine, the Imperial government splintered into many groups, each vying for the position as next Emperor of the Galaxy. But the often violent disputes caused the Empire to disintegrate, and now many loosely connected remnants carry on the fight against the New Republic and its member worlds. Led powerful warlords and many former Moffs of the Old Empire the Imperial remnants range from large sector-spanning governments to pockets of resistance in outer-rim worlds. Sith Cultists For millennia, the terrifying legend of the Sith has been the symbol of the power of the Dark Side. As rulers of the former Sith Empire, and head of the late Galactic Empire, the Sith seek power through manipulation and inspiring fear and hatred. Even with the contemporary Sith believed dead, Sith cultists still worship the legacy of the Emperor and the Sith before him, and many cultists work towards a final plan for Galactic domination, flying under the auspices of the New Republic. . . Imperial Security Bureau Although the Empire is in tatters, many parts of the Imperial war machine still function. Motivated by the cause of the Empire, members of the Imperial Security Bureau still serve the many segments of the Empire, eliminating their opponents through whatever means possible, and instilling fear through propaganda and terror. An elite and unconditionally loyal unit, the Imperial Security Bureau’s activities are devoted to cripple the New Republic through espionage, special operations and asymmetric warfare. How to join the Dark Side To join the Dark Side Faction, drop a message here or PM Leaders: @Professor Thaum or TBD, to express your interest. All builders are invited. There are no expectations for how much or what you need to build, and all building is encouraged and welcomed. Faction Information For RPG rules and information on game mechanics, please refer to the Core Rules Page, linked here: __________________________________________________________________________________ The Dark Side is run by the Dark Side Leadership Team. This consists of the two to three most active players, measured through numbers of builds, community involvement and helping to run the Team. All players however, are welcomed to participate in the decision making process and the way in which the Team is run will be flexible and dependent on member involvement and numbers of members. Faction Bonuses Throughout the RPG, each faction is offered XP bonuses which are redeemable by incorporating specific elements, figures or storylines into your builds. The current bonuses are: Imperial Remnants: Include an Imperial officer in your build and get +2 XP ISB: Include an intelligence agent in your build and get +3 XP Sith Cultists: Show a Sith artifact in your build and get +4 XP Most importantly of all: have fun and may the dark side of the force be with you!

The grand entrance to Treacleheim was famous for it's large statues depicting the dwarf brothers Dwim and Dim. As travelers approached the dwarven city, the light would catch off the gem-studded door drawing attention to the large doors. But it was the towering statues that kept visitor's attention as they crossed the bridge. Wyndor was visiting the dwarves of Treacleheim. The citizen's of his city, Dalig Ulv, were bringing their fall produce to trade for weapons. Raiders were becoming more and more of a problem. And with winter coming soon, it was likely the raids would only increase. Best to be well armed. And what better way to protect yourself than with a dwarven blade?

Some people are starting to throw out the same guesses. If you haven't read the past 5 pages you're not allowed to guess a name. If we keep getting repeat guesses (which are clogging up the discussion here) I'll start deleted comments.

Maybe I'm just too much of a fanboy but I think Lego LOTR would sell as well as Lego Harry Potter. There hasn't been a Harry Potter movie in awhile yet Lego is still releasing sets in 2024. I feel like LOTR could fair almost as well as Harry Potter.

I really like the new battle pack. But do the shiny clones look like their faces are squished to anyone else? I'm hoping it's just the angles used for the box images.
