Diaaabo

I got some random minifigs mainly for the accessories and hair parts. I bought them without looking at the barcodes, and traded those I didn't like. My favs are the nurse and cheerleader from S1 and the explorer from S2. My biggest complain goes to the quality of the plastic, which I already complained about on an e-mail to TLG.

Quoting Family Guy... "I Sith myself"

Nothing more cheerful than building the 10195 Dropship while dancing to Finntroll

I am mainly a Star Wars collector. When I got out of my dark age, I first thought of rebuilding my old pirate and castle sets, along with the adventurers stuff. I ended up selling most of my non-Star Wars minifigs so I could buy more SW stuff I kept only some Adventurers minifigs. Nowadays I buy some Creator sets to use for parts and I'm considering buying some new Castle sets, also for parts.

Traded some minifigs, today the cheerleader and the nurse arrived by mail. Plastic issues aside, they look lovely I'm probably going to enter the EB contest with them

The mirror detail is awesome!

Ohhhh right, I forgot Bib! But still, he has been out of production for some years now. The geonosians might be the less flexible characters here, even though they appeared in the CW series. However, we have Tuskens in Ep. I, II, IV, prolly EU too. Luminara for Ep. III/CW, Padme for the whole PT/CW, Twileks all over the series even as minor characters.

We had Tuskens, Geonosians, Luminara, Obi's JSF, a Technic Hailfire and one miniature System Hailfire... We never had 501st clones and we only have ONE Twilek. I know some of the things I mentioned aren't really new, but we haven't seen most in a long time. With so many Snowspeeders reedited, it can't hurt to wish for those figs, can it? ;)

As for minifigs, my wishes go for Tusken Raiders, Geonosians, 501st Phase II Clone troopers, fleshie Padme, Luminara, more Ewoks, Twileks, and aliens in general. Banthas would also be very welcomed. As for sets, Bail Organa's speeder, a reedition of the regular TIE Fighter in gray, Obi-Wan's JSF, decent size Hailfire, new podracers and some more civil vehicles. Endor BP with stormies/scouts and rebels/ewoks would be lovely.

The Swamp Speeder, as well as the Superpack with the BPs, has been wide available in Portugal. You can find it in any TRU. And you always have S@H, I guess.

Yes, I meant those that are peeling, that doesn't look so good. But again, at least I only noticed when I looked at the detailed pic.

Dark blue is so lovely looks really great, something to display alongside Obi Wan's JSF. The only thing I don't like is the tail stickers, but it doesn't look bad when looking at the whole ship. Great work dude, the Force is strong with this one

Really nice! Can't wait to see some MOC with these guys! It's a shame that the spear is made of rubber tho

In the movies you don't see so many different kinds... Tantive IV rebels, Hoth troopers, Orange suit pilots, engineers, Endor cammo troopers.... and those have already been made by TLG. By your designation I assume you refer to the troopers on the videogames? Even tho Battlefront and all those games are a huge hit, they are not 100% faithful to the movie canon. So you can see some sets based on EU with different minifigs, but I don't know if it would be a good bet for TLG, for the mainstream target.

Amazing! That looks really great, I hope I can reply it with my parts. Thank you very much! Although I am new around here, I would suggest a new title for you: Technic-Fairy

I just dump everything on the bed, floor, or if it is small enough, on my desk. I don't have patience for sorting, so I just build straight away.

Even part-wise? Well, do what you have in mind, as simple as possible

Keep it as simple as possible the head moving like that seems nice tho!

Only the front legs. Will that head movement be independent?

I own the AT-AT, and I had some problems with it when I first built it. Seems that I had some pins misplaced, so it limped a lot. He does walk better on carpet, since wood/tiled floor makes it trip a little bit. Here is a video of my AT-AT in action, although limping a bit because the head was destroyed and then misplaced on the way to that meeting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKoKcUzp4b4 EDIT: Forgot this part I had no problems with stickers so far, and I own most of the new stuff since last year.

Sweet, I'll try that as soon as I get back to my ABS. Thanks a lot, you have been a great help!

Hmmm, dark green... As for the T-6, it doesn't look so great... cockpit can only host one minifig? Meh...

Using the moving weight inside it would be able to keep the appearance?

Hmmm I wanted to keep the appearance of the walker, although I don't mind modding the original plates. Could it be possible to keep all the gears inside the shell and the hinged leg supports while using some other kind of support for the shell?

Thanks a lot, those pictures are surely enlightening to me! So basically I'll have create a central hinge, with the front legs connected to a motor, and gears connecting to the main motor and the back legs?
