    Spam in the... User Groups section? That's a first.

    Shhh... Let me have my fantasy! And how was I supposed to know what plastic they're made of? They totally could have been the classic trans plastic. But I agree that the color is matched pretty well- looking at Ketar, the blades mesh really well with the rest of the color scheme. And my mood's cooled a bit since last night- the solid plastic's starting to grow on me!

    Hmmm that circle emblem? I don't think that's the New Republic symbol. The Canon New Republic symbol is just a jazzed-up Alliance Starbird: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/New_Republic That looks more like a neat greebly detail. T-85, not T-80! Classic.

    That's a spot-on inference! In the canon novel Before the Awakening, Poe flies a T-80 X-Wing during his time as a New Republic pilot. The art for the T-80s looks exactly like the T-70, not sure if this is accurate or just a lack of communication with the artist.

    What? Yeah, I probably could've afforded to be less literal. Anyway, I just purchased my first 2016 set with the crystal blades, and Noooooo! I though the colored portions on the crystal blades were trans colors! What a bummer. They're still cool, just not as cool as they could have been. This won't deter me from getting others.

    In the canon novel Before the Awakening, Poe's job as a New Republic fighter pilot is patrolling spacelanes to deter pirate activity. I think this may speak to the great advancement of fighters in the Star Wars universe, and may help explain the lack of capital ships. If fighters become super powerful, then who needs to invest money in big, unwieldy battleships?

    Yes. I have minifigures and Bionicle masks at my desk, and they make the day fly by.

    The Chiss? Say what? Just kidding, I think that's pretty unlikely. And I don't know why you think the New Republic is small- all information we have so far indicates that the NR was at least as big as the Empire and Old Republic, if not bigger- in Aftermath it talks about systems joining the New Republic that were not a part of the OR or Empire. We've just seen a small bit of the NR. The First Order is based in the Unknown Regions, where neither the OR or Empire had jurisdiction. Edit: Actually, there are some Imperial remnants not a part of the FO after RotJ. How big they are in TFA is unknown. In any case, it's unlikely they took a significant portion of the Empire's systems.

    I'm always in the mood for alt builds! The shapes of the quasi-Sith Infiltrator and long-range TIE patrol are sweet. The offset cockpit on the quasi-Sith Infiltrator is a nice touch.

    What a great MOC! you know what'd make it even better? If you put the pictures directly in the post! That way people can enjoy your fabulous creation without the hassle of inordinate amounts of clicking. Check out this useful tutorial: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=97921

    Oh yes. I can see many uses for that piece.

    In Aftermath, Mothma says she wants to cut down the New Republic armed forces to discourage future conflict. This could mean that the New Republic fleet could have been even smaller than the Rebel fleet, which means it all could have been stationed in the Hosnian system. This and its increased pacifist role give little reason for the fleet to be deployed. The effect the destruction of the Hosnian system has depends upon how centralized the New Republic government was. I can think of arguments for centralization and de-centralization.

    Looks like you've got some milk, dark, white, and a bit of... nougat? Tasty!

    Maybe a lack of hubris? The Empire is self-assured, confident. The First Order needs to show off its junk and parade around. It's the Star Wars equivalent of North Korea (except the FO is actually dangerous ). Could someone please make a Kylo Ren/Kim-Jong Un meme? They are both trying to live up to their grandfathers, they are both too big for their britches.....

    Cute! The TFA microfighters we got this year are a bit lackluster, I would've much rather had this one!
