Forget about LDD for the meantime as you won't need it if you do it this way, I find this is what works best for me: Create an account at rebrickable.com: Under "Custom Lists" click "Add New List" then import the LXF file (which is the extension given to a Lego Digital Designer file) to that custom list. rebrickable will then load the inventory from the LXF file and let you know if there are any rare parts/colours in the build. This will give you the opportunity to swap out parts for more common parts/colours (not an issue with this small build but in bigger builds it can be very useful). Once that's done, click "Export Parts" there is a drop-down menu with 4 options, I tend to choose "Brickstore BSX" Then log in to Bricklink: Go to "Wanted List," then "Create New List" and give the list a name. Then go into that newly created list and along the top of the page there is a button that says "Upload," click on the button and find the Brickstock file that you saved from rebrickable. (If using Windows it's probably in your "C:\Users\Username\Downloads" folder). All you need to do now is click the green "Buy All" button. This will bring up a list of shops. I go to "Store Filter" and change to Australia, as I live in Australia. "Unique Lots" means how many of a particular brick type a seller has. The more the better, however more often than not it won't be the cheapest. Example: Someone who has 148 out of a required 155 lots might cost $120, but someone who has 144/155 lots might only cost $80. You'll need to click around a bit and compare prices. It's not as straight forward as making a cup of tea but after a couple of goes you'll be doing it in your sleep :)

@Gymped Sorry mate I didn't see your reply. Here's the file https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9wNy7Cs_yMfYlRfdXpxX2J1UmM :)

Hi mate, I plan on doing something similar and when I do I'll more than likely use "Brickstuff" gear. They've been making kits for a number of years now and they have a UK distributor. https://www.curiousminds.co.uk/brickstuff-for-lego.html

Fast forward 6 months from now and a 1x2 lbg tile will be fetching $0.80 on Bricklink haha ;)

I can't understand the logic behind the use of stickers on the windscreen, especially when the piece was created specifically for this model. Oh well...

I'm building a replica of @mortesv Imperial Class II Destroyer. It shouldn't be too difficult. So far I've collected 3 x minifig hands, so roughly only 6997 more pieces to go. On a serious note, I'm building @anothergol incredible AT-ST (thanks very much mate). I've collected 92% of the pieces so technically I haven't started building yet, but I'm close!

I've been following your updates on IG over the past months and patiently waiting for the write-up on Eurobricks. May the 4th, you sneaky bugger haha. This creation of yours is absolutely phenomenal, well done sir! I'm sure I'll re-visited this thread many many times :)

The instructions will arrive when they arrive and the price will be what it is. You can't change that. Now go outside and get some fresh air.

Cheers guys, here's hoping that we'll get a good pack one day :)

I'm sure this has been asked many times before, but have Lego ever released a battle pack with 4 x OT stormies? The best packs I've seen have only ever included 2. Lego seem hell-bent on making it expensive to build a decent army.

Hey mate, funnily enough I was messing around in LDD last night making a moisture vaporator. This is what I've ended up with, it's 37 bricks in total (excluding the tan base and minifig). I got the idea of using a wheel from Praider Yeds model. It's a little too tall to be "true to scale," but if you go too small you can't get enough detail in and it looks a bit boring.

Oh good, at least I know that it's safe for me to Bricklink 10134 now haha :)

I really hope SB00201 is a Y-wing ;)

+1. It's going to take me a while to source 3300 bricks, it would be great if we could get a little head start :)

It's in the very first post... edit: I didn't realise you were referring to the build 3 posts up. Sorry.

Thank you LXF, you're a legend mate :)

Hi guys, Is there a way to search for a particular piece (or multiple pieces of the same type) within a LDD model? It would helpful when trying to figure out if a piece could be substituted with a different (already owned) colour or not. For example, if a model uses 6 times 1x1 round pieces but I'm not sure where they fit, the only way I can find where they go is to pull the model apart and search for them visually, which can take a fair bit of time if it's a big model.

It's €230 (AU$330) in Australia too which is a shame. I'll definitely be waiting for the half-yearly discount (20-30% off from major retailers) instead of purchasing it on day 1. I think I'll replace the white with LBG too.

Wow, this is brilliant mate! When viewing, make sure to "right-click open new tab" for hi-res :)

Thanks everyone, that's most helpful of you all. It'll save me a lot of time now that I don't have to recreate all the parts!

Hahaha! Valid question

I bought 2 x AT-ST today. They'll go nicely with my Ewok Village diorama (even if a little on the big side). Big W Australia had them for 35% off, which is pretty crazy.

Hi all, As the title states, is there a way to copy elements from one LDD file to another? Hypothetically speaking, if I'm working on a head in one LXF and a body in another LXF is there a way to join the two together? Cheers :)

This is so good it hurts my head! Your photography is excellent too. I love how you've lined up the minifigs next to the UCS plaque :) Do you plan on recreating some of the other ships too?
