mon-o-mat

Very nice build.

I know that the AT-ST has tow weapon on the side of it's head. But I don't like how they are created in Lego. The Blasters are way to big and fat while the grenade-launcher doesn't look anything like the one you see in the movie.

Could have given him at least a carbine. But I think the main problem is it's missing stock. But I don't like that AT-ST anyways. Besides being an ugly coloured remake it still (or better because of it ) is oversized and has the same weird weapons on the side of it's head as the Rogue One one had.

Of course most AFOLs will reject new themes. Besides nostalgia it simply means that they can't add new sets to their collection, the new minifigures won't go with the old ones and most of the times the different colours mean, that the new sets won't be good part-donators.

To be fair, the backstory of RockRaiders was somehow better than the PowerMiners one. Not that the overall concept of this kinda "The Day Earth Stood Still" vibe was bad, but for one point, I never got if it was the chrystals that created the earthquakes or the monsters. And what was the end goal? Total genocide of rockmonsters? Collecting chrystals? Eventually they got to lava-level, but why and what did they do there?

After Aanchirs post on Brickset about how he would love different biomes for Power Miners (https://brickset.com/article/44648/random-set-of-the-day-mine-mech), and since I thought it would have been cool too, I decided to play around with LDD:

I would add that the Friends version would also have more decoration overall. Not just more nature, but also more ornaments and knick-knack.

I am only in for the MTT if they don't butcher it like the last one. It has to be a huge set with dozends of droids like the 2007 one, maybe even larger.

Considering that there are multiple Kashyyyk-Sets on the shelf right now, my updated wishlist would look like this: UCS Clone Turbo Tank (250€) Take control over this massive Clone Turbo Tank. Just like in the movies this huge and detailed vehicle rolls over the enemies of the Galactic Republic Man it's cockpits and open the hatches to get access to multiple storage and crew compartments Features movie-accurate rotating turrets and retreating missile launchers Tank goes anywhere with flexible suspension and massive wheels that turn with model Clone Turbo Tank measures over 60cm long and more than 30 in height (with extended mast) Conatains a Seperatist Dwarf Spider Droid and a BARC Speeder Includes 10 minifigures: Quinlan Vos, Wookie Chief(Dark Grey), Wookie Warrior, Kashyyyk Clone Trooper(x2), Kashyyk Clone Scout, Battle Droid(x4) Wookie Catamaran (35€) Help the Wookies Defend their Planet with the Wookie Catamaran. Fire the spring loaded missiles and drop the bombs. Wookie Catamaran measures nearly 20cm long Contains 4 minifigures: Luminara Unduli, Wookie Warrior, Battle Droid, Super Battle Droid Snail Tank Droid (30€) The Separatists are using this Snail Tank Droid to attack the Wookies and their Fluttercraft as seen in Revenge of the Sith Tank Droid runs on working tracks. Fire the Tank Droids shooters or drop thermal detonators from the Wookie Fluttercraft Tank Droid measures over 11cm high, 18cm long and 9cm wide Contains 4 minifigures: Wookie Warrior, Battle Droid(x2), Super Battle Droid Kashyyyk Droid Attack(25€) "But what about the Droid attack on the Wookies" Decide the fierce battle between the Seperatist Battle Droids and the Republic Clone Troopers and their Wookie Allies Contains a Seperatist Dwarf Spider Droid and a Republic Swamp Speeder and Wookie emplacements. Includes 6 minifigures: Battle Droid(x2), Super Battle Droid, Kashyyyk Clone Trooper(x2), Wookie Warrior

But all those sets are very conservative when it comes to colours. Mostly black and grey, with some red for the roofs. Ok, I don't know why the Hideout has a blue roof, but I suspect red would stand out too much from all that black and green surrounding it.

In my eyes 2013 castle was too cartoonish. Not only the minifigs or the heraldy, but the overall colour-code. The badies were to obviously bad and especially their pure black helmets and armor didn't look very good to me. The bright red and black 'castle' they got wasn't any better. The Kingdom one was mostly black too, but at least it was combined with dark brown and green colours. The 2013 King's Castle wasn't that bad, but it wasn't better than the 2010 one for sure while the bright blue details weren't appealing either. @BardDandelion Really good idea. Multiple waves of castle sets don't even have to be connected to each other, but at least share the same overall style.

If TLC wanted to prevent him from registring the trademark their letter should have gone to the German Patent and Trademark Office. But they probably knew that a German court already denied TLC's tries to get a trademark on the Lego-Brick. And since his Logo has nothing in common with any Lego-Logos other then a stylized brick

25€ for the scout walker is way to much. I don't like those oversized speeders and walker neither.They are all super expensive and usually don't look that good either.

Yes I meant that. Of course, no Gunships were seen there.

Apparantly the Last AT-AP didn't contain Yoda.. Just Gree and Tarfful. But still, the minifigs now are just as boring. To be fair, the other Jedi I would have put in that sets, namely Quinlan Vos, Luminara Unduli or Ayla Secura came out quite recently too.
