    Blacktron 1! Wonderful prints on the minifigs, and the simplicity of black+trans yellow+sparse white+accented trans red is a very appealing color scheme to me. The sets were very well designed too imo.

    I would love another minifig-scale UCS craft, but I doubt that'll happen.

    Absolutely beautiful. I have no criticisms.

    Is it supposed to be this? If so, it's slightly off but it's still bearing great resemblance. Either way, the detailing is fitting and the overall build quality is as great as your AT-ST and AT-DP.

    nono, it's just that everything rey did had no bearing on any divergence from a male lifestyle or any specific male or female experience or *anything at all* that could be considered exclusive to a female character. you could seriously swap boyega with her and have the same story with pronouns swapped. disney admits that a female protagonist has bearing in a truly artistic story, but taking such a risk in attempting to be objectively respectable as a sci-fi work will be a shady bet for all their investors. RO has the same "hey look it's a girl, we're feminist now ok hehe" feeling to it. again, no recognition of female lifestyle that is shared with life in reality. boyega's character has the expectation to be a strong, stoic, unfeeling strongman, like 90% of males in reality, but rey has none of that. despite living on an impoverished slave planet, she is PERFECTLY kept and astoundingly beautiful. wouldn't an orphaned, neglected, seasoned warrior woman of an outer rim planet look out of place in a fancy photoshoot? not in disney's star wars, at least. [i'm done ranting about the new star wars btw, no further posts will be on this subject as it's completely divorced from the thread topic. legos from here on out.]

    it won't be. the mouse will remind you that the only quality you see in their star wars works is there to coax people with standards to see it because it will have competently choreographed action and good cg. they know they can't let their toy-selling cash cow get too hard to understand, so they took their masculine-written main character and swapped the pronouns because kids don't care if femininity is treated as an accessory instead of something special, interesting, or a source of pride. they took what is supposed to be a terrible, galaxy-wide civil war that claimed trillions of lives and destroyed entire planets and turned it into some nonsensical social obstructionism where you "just rebel". i've always liked gareth edwards as a director, but it's obvious that all movies supervised by disney will have to hit certain arbitrary overtones that nobody wants in star wars. i almost feel bad for buying licensed star wars LEGO, but it's not like anything else i buy won't have money going to an equally terrible corporation. even if there was, they'd have to really screw up to make stuff like this not eye-catching.

    Vader is kinda-sorta in the movie, and iirc it's already been confirmed by the mouse that there will be no force/lightsaber users as major characters.

    YES, this. Grey flight suits would be better though IMO, we already have so many different variations of the orange suit (which are still readily available in the lower priced sets).

    I've always loved the Howlrunner but could never find a good LEGO rendition. Until now. 10/10 boi

    We really do need a big set filled with new molds/prints for specific aliens. I'd love heads for Aqualish, and new patterns for the existing Trandoshan, Rodian, and Mon Calamari head molds. Maybe it could be a big Cantina-style set that only features the characters and interior features of the cantina? Mandalorians with mottled grey armor like the newest shadow trooper incarnations and no specific colorization would be great too.
  12. Seltz
    These are really good! Great to see that I'm not the only guy who likes uglies here.
  13. Seltz
    MOCs like this are why i still drop by here. 10/10 my man, keep being rad
  14. Seltz
    this is the best UCS AT-AT I've ever seen. i wish LEGO would release something like this. would have no problem with a $500+ price point.

    Haven't seen any MOCs of the new white TIEs from Star Wars 7 yet, wanted to change that. Have this. The first of Sienar's TIEs with a more efficient white-painted solar cell, the TIE/cs utilizes five long range disruptor cannons, fed by two large power sources on the top of the wing struts. The extremely high rate of fire on the high-powered disruptor cannons necessitated the use of two "static emitter arrays", or SEAs. The bright flashes of the excess electric arcs emanating from the SEAs and the heavy strobe effect of the disruptor cannons earned the TIE/cs the nickname "Blinder". Later models were given an anti-flash protective layer on the cockpit, as to not damage the pilot's eyes. MORE HERE gaaah, mods please change name to just [The Force Awakens MOC] TIE/cs "Blinder" please

    for the new CCBS "battle figure" things, the only one i'd ever buy would be a 2-1B medical droid. But that's never gonna happen. One thing that I'd buy like fifty of, would be a big TIE creator set. Enough pieces for a few different types of TIE wing pairs (interceptor, standard, proto x1, etc) and a bomb bay segment so if you want to, you can make a bomber. I'd be thinking it'd have a re-designed TIE system, where it's modular and could allow you to make any of these TIEs, excluding the royal interceptor because it's red. This would only encompass standard black and grey TIEs. The TIE droids could be part of a separate creator set maybe. I would love to make some of my own TIE variants, and make a few of them for reasons. Obviously you wouldn't be able to make EVERY TIE variant shown here, but it'd be possible to make one TIE, of any of these types, with some parts left over for either a custom variant, a bizarro, or as half a TIE you could finish if you buy another set. I'd gladly pay $100-150 for a large set like this, as long as you get enough pieces. 1000 to 1500 pieces would be good.

    Designed my first SHIiP (Seriously Huge Investment in Parts). DondoDyne SC-8030 "Goblin", a heavily armored gunboat on-par with the Skipray Blastboat. Eight ball-jointed engines, attached to four swiveling hubs for maximum maneuverability in and out of atmospheres. No reliance on repulsorlift or antigravity systems, making it perform equally across all environments, terrestrial or no. The bright red "shoot me here" fuel tanks are highly combustible, and when destroyed, often cause a chain reaction destroying all tanks, and causing damage to nearby ships. Perfect for suicide missions! The two rear crew are gunners, and the forward crew is made up of a pilot and co-pilot, the co-pilot having control of the lower turret, as well as the fuel, inertia, electrical, and communication systems. The pilot must balance use of the twin concussion missile launchers, five forward mounted laser cannons, the proton torpedo launcher, and the eight individually articulated engines. The swiveling hubs function on the s-foil system, so that's one thing off of the cluttered mind of a Goblin pilot. The pilot and co-pilot need to be trained heavily, and trained together. If one messes up, there's a big chance of it barreling into the ground while on fire and spinning. comments/criticism? these images can be found in my "musings" folder, i'll make a dedicated folder for this when i build it irl

    Thanks! Yeah, uglies are some of the more interesting ships imo, so that's why i almost exclusively build them
