Great review, MKJoshA! You seem to be a natural for these: good pictures, and good narration content as well. This is the first I've heard of this set. Personally, I think this vehicle would go very nicely with a pirate fleet; right alongside the swoops, sand skiffs, pirate tanks, and Starhoppers in the tan/brown color scheme used by many of the lawless bands raiding and scavenging the Outer Rim territories! Thanks for this!

Looks like a sturdy build. Does it have an interior?
-
Very impressive vehicle! Radio-controlled Lego vehicles are a bit of a rarity. Job well done.
-
Do you have a giant project in mind?
-
Fantastic build! Is it difficult to transport? Will you be doing threads to highlight the individual structures and vehicles?
-
Have you built this one yet? Yeah, uh, nevermind...
-
They both look great! Try looking through the instructions database for articulation ideas http://lego.brickinstructions.com/en/lego_instructions/theme/lego_star_wars. That's what I use for inspiration and troubleshooting.

This looks great! Being exactly accurate to canon (down to the tiniest greeble) isn't that important, unless the model is supposed to be a UCS representation. As long as the builder is satisfied with the efforts and result: that is what its all about. I like to think that the Empire is really vast. Mission-specific modifications to vehicles and equipment are necessary to adapt for changing requirements in most armies. Really good work, dmarkng!

Yes! Really great diorama. Well thought out; with balanced colors and original vehicles! Would like to see the expanded version as well. -
This simple design looks good, so far. It wouldn't be too difficult to add the fourth wheel set. Keep it up!
-
Those are some great figures! I wonder who makes those... (edit) WOW! What a great thread.

This line was way too short-lived in my opinion. There was a lot of competition from staple sets and new themes; which was probably what reduced its popularity. I think the line would have done better if TLG had more sales feedback (read: too busy with other projects), but it just couldn't match all of the competition from multiple popular themes. Had there been a couple more seasons worth of waves, maybe it could have evolved into a theme that really took off. Personally; I really like the team colors and have purchased a huge army of the light blue minifigs from BL to field as wargaming troops. Once that army is completed, there will be another in a different color representing a different faction. As far as the future of non-licensed themes; NK makes a strong positive example of viability.

Wow! I thought I was the only one who loves this show. This is an excellent build, and the building instructions are easy to follow. Thank you for this,King_Arthur; you've made an 'old' sci-fi geek VERY happy today! According to the previous size comparison images; the Mattel Eagle 1 ship from the '70s is pretty close to being minifig scale. How cool is that?

Oy, Mate! This is a great technique for creating the spherical shape. Any chance of a partial teardown for building reference? I couldn't quite get it from the Flickr pics. I'd also like to see how the "wings" are put together.

Fantastic work! These clones are works of art. Would love to see TLG put this much detail into their production minifigs: I'd even be willing to pay a little extra for these as a single figure polybag!
