Anyone notice that the T70s in the Force Awakens video game have redesigned laser cannons that look like the old UCS x wing? It's interesting...

As an Econ and BA major going into getting an MBA, I'm aware of the language. It's just still too funny to see when talking about Lego.

...and an X wing probably. Then there's the slave 1... Wait... "Strong potential for recruitment and retention of shoppers with connection to Super IP." Did a computer write this? It just sounds so inhuman that its hilarious.

Love the mechanism. Subtle yet functional.

It's so sleek! Nice job with concealing the spring shooters and adding the triggers on the sides. I like the cockpits, too. The curvature you achieved there is extremely good.

Will this model allow the new canopy from Poe's set to be fitted like you T65 moc? I can't wait to see it when you have it built IRL.

Glad everybody is seeing it. We may finally have an explanation for the TIE advanced vs A wing. There is a great deal of potential for sets and finally we may be seeing a TIE bomber in the future. Also, if you guys look at the teaser for the upcoming episode, they're introducing ships with an uncanny appearance to the hammerhead cruisers from KOTOR. Ezra even mentions that they're "old transports". Rebels is definitely getting interesting.

You nailed the shaping perfectly. There's too much for me to elaborate on right now but that nose is nuts. I'd love to see you mod the UCS x wing with a similar design.

Rebels 2nd half Season 2 Teaser is out. Go watch it. Some possibilities for sets in there...

Im officially in love...

I went back and looked over your original model and the progress you've made to this current version is outstanding at the least. All the clean, sharp angles and panel lines made me have a double take at first as it didn't look like lego. To top it all off, it's R/C with other functions as well as a fully stocked troop bay and other features. Lego's officially making another turbo tank this summer and you sir have officially killed their upcoming model with this MOC!

I love the armament on this sucker! That lazer turret is perfect, too. So much firepower...

I'm also believing this albeit it's new for lego to base something off a book.

The A wing stabilizer fins look to be like a new piece. They are also on the back of the hammerhead.

I'm glad that it's blue and grey rather than blue and white!

MATT DAMON? Ok, jokes aside, Luke?

Hahahahaha so very true. Stack 'em high boys!

It hasn't been confirmed that it's coming with Ahsoka. It's been confirmed that it is coming with another build and is currently rumored to be an A-wing. I'm curious to see where this goes.

Could the Tie Advanced set include a Y-Ying and be based off the trench run from Episode IV rather than Rebels? As in a complete recreation of the 1999 set but with both fighters updated. It makes more sense at $100 considering $50 for the Y-Wing and Tie advanced respectively. The last Y-Wing was released in 2012 at $50. Furthermore, it's more resonable. There hasn't been a space battle between Tano and Vader in Rebels and I don't think there will be one in season 2. I believe they will hold off for a showdown between master and apprentice until later on. Has there been any confirm on it being a rebels set? I've read but haven't seen any definitive confirmation.

Yeah, it will be interesting to see it's debut in the next films. I was disappointed that the FO battle pack didn't come with the little AT RT walker look alike. They need to do that one as well. It would have been better in the battle pack than the mini turbo laser.

That is the most visually impressive presentation I have seen thus far. How are the sets balanced so well (like the UCS snow speeder and Y wing)? it's amazing. I see a lot of sets spanning the license in your collection. How long have you been collecting?

Without a doubt the best MOC I have seen of this yet. The scale is dead on. How did you construct the side walls? Very impressive model!

Welp, this info and the movie made my year. There's only one thing I have left to say. "Chewie, we're home." (in 2016) Oh, one last thing. My wallet has officially died.

I was referring to that you can only get Finn in the falcon at $150 and Kylo in the shuttle for $100. You can't get them in any other set until the new $60 extravaganza that's coming.

"I highly doubt he'll be a promo fig. He's been described as "massive" and "tall", so he may require a new mold/big fig type deal." *Imagining incredible hulk size fig in air tight ziplock baggie :P * Supposedly he's around 7 ft from an article published a couple weeks ago. Not too out of the question when Chewie is a normal fig.
