  1. if you want to then go for it. make it your own, or more accurate. or if you just hate the new version of a set and figure you could do a better job modding an older one. just consider whether you want to sell it down the road
  2. blasters are due for a refresh/update. lightsaber hilts should be updated as well in my opinion.
  3. no new sets here yet, so i picked up the obi wan jedi fighter, glad to finally get it to match the anakin one.
  4. 3 battlefront empire battle packs and the Vader buildable figure. then the Mrs trolled me by bringing the Kylo one home and telling me that I can't have him until Easter, if that one counts great.
  5. Hey all, I'm admittedly more a lurker than a poster here but I figured I'd chime in. mine had the droop issue and after I (literally just) applied the mod it corrected it. that being said, it was put together correctly as I'm rather "thorough" to say the least. I purchased mine upon release last year, which was one of the first thousand or so made as it has the sticker error (that's going by what a Lego rep told me on the phone) and was built immediately after purchase, for anyone wondering batch/set age/how long it's been on display anyway back to the point. for those who are interested for doing it, I can speak for its effectiveness in correcting what it's supposed to. for me, it seemed a little more scary than it really was. bare In mind I'm not gutsy with performing surgery on loved display pieces such as this. great mod, great set. cheers.
  6. just picked up Kylo Rens shuttle finally..drove 4 hours to my nearest toys r us force Friday and that was the one thing I forgot!
  7. ACpin that is quite the haul you have there! impressive, most impressive.
  8. it's showing up on the Canadian s@h, for me anyway.
  9. wow. what a gongshow this is, I'm struggling to get up to speed on this. we can't name sets, numbers or prices? I'm travelling 5 hours to mainland Nova Scotia because my local Walmart fails at getting stock when they're supposed to. I actually got paranoid and called Lego to confirm they're even releasing them force Friday and after a discussion the gentleman I spoke to in a roundabout way named Disney specifically as being behind the (failed) uber super Area 51 illuminati secrecy that's been taking place with almost every brand involved.
  10. picked up the new shuttle tydirium, imperial assault carrier and Death Star final duel. first time seeing them at my local wal-mart all summer, disgusting.
  11. guessing all the commotion over plasma is over David halls video? (solid brix)
  12. I agree. I'd love to have a full squadron of A wings to sit next to my squadron of T-47s on stands.
  13. Beautiful rendition I must say. the underside is very simple and clean!
  14. rebels provides a great opportunity for new sets we haven't seen before and a new worthwhile spin on things we have seen before
  15. girlfriend got me the 2012? (don't know the set number, not the UCS one) x wing for Christmas 2 years ago and I was off to the races after that
  16. yodas hut in TFA would blow my mind. hopefully we get some TFA battle packs down the road
  17. not to knock SWTOR but if they can make a few sets about that they can sure as heck make a good amount of well justified battlefront sets
  18. I imagine UCS sand crawler owners would pay a pretty penny for a homestead to have their sand crawler parked in front of. on the topic of structural, a full size* UCS cantina play set? full size, detailed. incorporate the spring loaded shooters into the walls behind Han and greedo so fans can decide who shoots first, some sand troopers. the bar table scuffle between Luke and the outlaw
  19. Yes Corydoras, I had those mixed up! thanks for pointing them out, my bad :) as for 7957 Sith Nightspeeder (2011) 75024 HH-87 Starhopper (2013) (Via Lobot) the night speeder was just an unnecessary set. it appeared once I do believe. I purchased it for the figures and nothing more and the amount of stickers applied to the small and uninteresting build is mind blowing. The star hopper however imo was a relatively fun build with relevant minifigures and the Rako hardeen was a nice addition, and I'm very fond of the speeder drop feature. might have a gross colour but design wise I think it's great!
  20. id like to see a Lars homestead or Ben Kenobi hut. or even a Yoda hut (I missed the last one). something structural! ships get boring after a while ;)
  21. 10/10 would ride nice build! best use of microfighters I've seen to date
  22. 7680 was a let down. but, empty space DOES have its benefits ;) 75077 is pretty bad imo. the centre droid body is fine but the legs give me tons of grief plus it's so big and awkward when putting on a shelf, it's currently sat on top of my mass storage bin. minifigures were alright though
  23. I enjoy my 7965. I haven't had time to mod it or anything but the build itself is really fun. I'd suggest picking it up and you and your son could mod it to original trilogy Specifications inside and out, if you get it for a good price that is. or play the waiting game and roll the dice with the episode 7 falcon in which is obviously going to have some improvements and such given the time between them. or both? :) either way, you'll have a super fun project for you and your kid!
  24. Grievous head that opens up and is a play set inside? I used to always see stuff like that when I was younger!
