  1. Sweet - would love to add some of these to my existing a-wings!
  2. Second that phaelon - this is an amazing effort and for the size of build, complexity and what comes out of it - a very decent price.
  3. Same here on the LDD file - I've left it well alone now...
  4. The set has been in the Liverpool Lego store for a while.
  5. To be honest as a UK buyer, I find the $ to £ pricing very poor but its always / usually the case and not just with Lego or Disney - and lets be honest the pricing of the recent SW sets does seem high compared to the sets in previous years but such is the pricing model Lego now has for this range. If I really want a set then Ill buy it almost regardless of price, sets which are 'meh' or ok then typically I'll only pick up on a sale or discount, I don't use a price per brick ratio or such, it's just on gut feel....hence why some sets I still don't have 12/18 months after release if they don't move on price. My view is so long as I enjoy it I'll live with the prices - which I guess Lego counts on but hey ho...
  6. Be interested to see what you swap out on the Snowspeeder 10129 - I ended up changing the canopy a fair bit. Happy with the result now but it went through a number of changes....
  7. Smashing thanks for sharing that - some of those babies will be on the next BL order...
  8. Can't have too many UCS Y-Wings around - modded (like I did as well) or original, yours is looking good and would grace any shelf.
  9. Nice, I like it - wonder what it would be like in light grey and looking a little worn...
  10. This is well cool, the atmos is great...although I can almost hear one of the troops saying 'She says the jungle... it just came alive and took him...'
  11. Star! thanks for sharing that with us.
  12. Daft tron - so funny!....love the little bits you notice on the second and third time you look at the pics - brilliant.
  13. Looking very good so far - cant wait to see the final build.
  14. Looking well cool so far....
  15. Hi Nick6314, you can check on Bricklink the pieces for sets (e.g. 7965 - http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=7965-1) and see what each set has in it, and then clicking on the part itself tells you what other sets (and colours) its available in. So if you mean the 4L lightsabre bar 30374 its list (a long one - http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=30374&in=S) shows that indeed is in X-wing 9493-1. The part on the speeder bike looks like 30187e - its round but part of the same chassis piece - http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=30187e&idColor=88#T=S&C=88&O={"color":88}
  16. Thats nice work, easy to miss on the wider base shots. Perhaps a missing portion of the top/bottom fin as well? (or another colour to show blast damage...)
  17. Even better - thats true though you will need an even bigger base! - can't wait to see your Y-wings. And I for one would love you to share the LDD for the A-wings - brill!
  18. Loving that dark blue A-wing (might have to add to my blue/red/orange collection...) and your base collection is looking awesome - fab and thanks for sharing with us. Now if you can start to add some Y-wings....
  19. Fantastic - so much black yet so much detail.
  20. Good review Bob - played straight down the middle and very fair. I guess the difficulty for me on this one is that unlike most UCS sets, this has been out in various parts and sets before - therefore not much is really new or different, and the two main new 'builds' the Ion cannon and the shield generator both look unfinished (well if counting that missing 4th blade as unfinished)....Now having missed the previous Hoth sets I decided to buy the set, but unlike the other UCS sets I've got, I walked away with that nagging doubt....
  21. Good model, looks nice and mean just like it should....
  22. Good spot / shout AY, I'd not noticed that when I checked Lego's shop - wonder why that is? you would have thought Poe's X-wing being the 'hero' ship would have the kudos and any price uplift....whilst I like the blue x-wing the wing design still bugs me so paying an extra £10 is just ticking me off.....A-wing it is then I guess...
  23. Doing a Y-Wing fix - grabbed a nice unopened Y-Wing 7658 (previous release) on ebay to compare with the later Gold leader version I have, and a used Anakin's 8037 in good condition - did not like it at the time but since then it's nagged away at me...
  24. The astro-mec head looks like the cones from one of my old Aquanauts sets, but I don't think from memeory they had stickers on them...but its been the box for a while so maybe it has?
