Just came on to this subject and I have to say that "the other " company that had this license made ,cuter more adaptable figures ...I think that the build quality from Lego will be miles ahead ..but the mini-figs are really clunky looking!
-
This is stunning...it would leap off shop and warehouse shelves if Lego ok`d it....the packaging should say "Buy this set (or Krusty will be making a home delivery!!..heh, heh )." Totally awesome!! Kenny
-
Damn thing almost has a bio-mechanical look to it....best bad-azz Hulk-Buster I`ve seen!!
-
Easily as cool as the Latest Flintstones set!!..hope to see it do well
-
Wish Lego would release stuff in this scale..it would be a far more affordable way to collect. These are just superb ,If you made up a stand with an appropriate crew member up front, with the ship flying behind that would look great...but as they are, they are amazing...please keep em` coming!
-
That is a cool build, hope Bricktooth comes back, if only to see these comments.

Thanks Daddy_Stardust;--I honestly didn`t know about this set. My local Asda was knocking out the bounty hunters battle pack on sale last year for £2.99 and I started to think about maybe doing a speeder for them, but when the Mandalorian battle pack appeared, I actually built it and they got it instead. Take care Kenny P.S. I now need to get me a couple of those Mando Super-commandos, their helmet design is really cool...which series of the Clone Wars did they appear in?
-
I just got the Mandolorian battle pack and decided to try and put together a speeder that could look o.k. for carrying these dudes (and dudettes?) around. The engine pod is a net flinger from the Batman mech/Gorilla Grod set.The side direction thrusters came off a helicopter set as did the long blade pieces that are on either side. I may get my spray paints out and do these blade pieces in silver (which is sort of cheating, but I did this on the wheel trims and scoop of my Fast`n`Furious Dodge Charger and it looked pretty o.k.) I love this battle pack and hope we some more like this; a 501st Clone trooper pack would be great, now that Clone Wars series 7 is due out this month!

Just saw this... https://www.fanthatracks.com/news/conventions-events/legoland-californias-star-wars-miniland-to-close-6th-january-2020/ What is going on, I love the version they have at the Windsor Park, here in the U.K. 20170506_111524 by kenny burns, on Flickr

The local shops here are heavily discounting Star Wars merch..I got Boba, Han and Chewie 3.75 inch figs for 70% less than list price. Funko Pops can be had for 50% off..but S.W. Lego is still bucking this trend, I hope we get some Clone War sets and if the Mandalorian does well, then maybe another set or two from that that would be good!..finally ,I find it interesting that the kids turning up for this trunk or treat event ,were all representative of the original 1977 onwards trilogy (even K2-S0`s time-line falls just before A New Hope )
-
Totally agree ,so glad they are away from Star Wars, but I`ve tried putting my own (negative) feelings about current Star Wars to one side , instead I am looking forward to the upcoming Clone Wars and hoping this will be a good ending to a great T.V. show (even better than Rebels, which I loved ). I love the diversity of vehicle types and even the variety of the different clone units..6 out of my last 7 S.W. Lego purchases have been either prequal or Clone Wars sets...including reeling in some 2nd hand ones , that I missed first time around.
-
Did some changes to 72561..went for the 104th Wolfpack colours and did some wee changes to legs and body..found the six stud launcher and tacked it on..it still balances o.k...(I suppose in real life that it would be made out of some super light space age alloy!)..I did have normal weapons fit unit made up ,to make it look more like a traditional AT_RT, but the multi-launcher just looks so bad-a$$, that I went with that.

Lovely work, nice size for a desk or shelf display. Kenny.
-
Great idea..but I am sure Chris Pike was sporting a beard. Regards Kenny Apologies...pike was scarred badly: not bearded...so your build is spot on....ahhhh I hate getting old...I was five when the menagerie two parter came out!!!
-
Elrond, the Merc 6 wheeler and the Unimog are so instantly recognisable, I love these concepts....; here we see you out-doing Lego`s in house designers and coming up with some great vehicles and your designs have a simplicity and shaping that just works so well! Regards Kenny
-
Thanks Bardan, I got this canopy with the Bat-Wing set and when I tore that down it ended up on my Bat-boat (for a while)...it`s a part that can be used for any vehicle ,from boats to jets to fast car builds and I wish I had more of them! regards Kenny IMG_2532 by kenny burns, on Flickr

What a brilliant build..you even incorporated the taller , more sinister looking ears ,which some D.C artists like Marc Silvestri sometimes drew.....again this is great and I wish I had it on my shelf!! Regards Kenny

I just finished building the 80th anniversary Batmobile and it is a brilliant build for the money (£24.99).The thing has some real weight and bulk to it, I spaced out the rear wheels, to try and make it look less slab sided (it`s only real weakness) and I ditched the 2 printed engine intake tiles at the front and did new side intakes (which cancelled out the stud-shooters)..I am sorry the pictures aren't great but I only finished the build shortly before I head to work...any how this is a brilliant , nostalgic blend of Batmobiles from the past ..I love it!

Just got The new Batmobile set from Asda ,here in West Lothian , Scotland on my way home from work...they seem to have most of the new H.P/Batman sets in stock, a nearby Entertainer chain shop doesn`t have any for sale.
-
Asda have the new sets as well...I bought and quite like the Knight Bus..except for the lack of printed parts for the bus itself..all the destination boards and the radiator really should have been printed, I think Lego have cheapened out on this, by going for stickers.

This is an insanely inspired model...incredible work..I remember Jody Scheckter driving the real thing back in 1976..(he incidentally is now the owner of a firm in England that makes buffalo mozzarella cheese!) Again I have to say that this is a mind-blowing build.. the back tyres really are a stroke of genius! Regards Kenny. -

Nice trip down memory lane ,I remember the "Trinity" westerns and "My Name is Nobody" (with Henry Fonda)...these two guys were fun..thanks for the build! -
Best not use the marker paint..probably too thick.would not give a good finish!
-
I`ve never done it, there are bright yellow spray paints which local authorities/motorway/rail maintenance teams use to mark repairs or adjustments on tarmac or concrete.These might be what you could use, but you would need to use a white primer first and make sure you de-grease the bricks first before you prime them.I notice that you are in Northern Italy..maybe another forum member reading this would know a supplier near you.. or a good idea would be to head to your nearest hobby shop with a yellow brick to get a color match, Tamiya, Humbrol and Lifecolor are companies I know about...there`s also Vallejo.. https://acrylicosvallejo.com/en/hobby-spray-paint/ Hope this helps Kenny
