My vote goes to the chrometrooper, Captain Phasma.

These look pretty good. I second GonldenNinja3000's sentiment regarding CW sets.

Ronan and Grodd get my vote.

Nice work, Takanuinuva. I really like that hammer, too.

This. 100% this.

Here are photographs of the Spider-Man and Venom BrickHeadz: I wouldn't be surprised if LEGO released a movie-accurate Spider-Man Brickhead next year. I seriously doubt they will re-release Venom next year, which makes me sad (I really like that Venom Brickhead).

I built this for Febrovery; but I never got the chance to actually enter it (life got in the way). Comments and constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking (and please pardon the poor photography).

I have thoroughly enjoyed this thread, Murdoch17. Seeing your MOCs (that Y Wing / Javelin is truly awesome) and reading about your inspiration for them has been a lot of fun. Keep it coming!

I'm going to do something unusual and vote against Boba Fett. I vote for TFA C-3PO.

My son just built this and he loved it (even though he hasn't seen Rogue One). The Death Trooper's legs really do seem too long, though (I fixed it by removing the friction cups at the ankles). Judging by the box art, I thought the new thigh shells made the upper legs look too thin. They actually look pretty good once built, though. What bothers me now is that the trooper's upper body (which still uses Hero Factory era shells) looks boxy and square compared to its lower body (which uses the new, smoother shells). We've gotten new shin, thigh, and shoulder shells for Star Wars constraction. Is there any chance we will get new, smoother arm shells as well?

This is something I threw together while I was playing around with an old Aquasharks canopy. I also like really bad puns. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/bobasdad/Sandshark/dscn5220.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/bobasdad/Sandshark/dscn5221.jpg Please pardon the horrible photography.

My vote goes to the Geonosis Airborne Trooper.

I vote for #2 and #13.

Such an amazing set! So many great building techniques! So many awesome recolors! Those Uruk-hai swords in gold and those crowbars in black are going to be so useful for MOCs.

Thanks, Henchmen4Hire. I agree that it would take quite a bit more updating to meet modern LEGO design standards. I basically took a 1989 model and upgraded it to a 1999 model (I didn't want to stray too far from the Space Police I design aesthetic, for nolstalgia's sake).

I think a new dinosaur-based adventure theme would appeal to a wide audience. Something similar to that old Dino Riders cartoon would sell quite well, I beleive (and it would give TLG a chance to get some more use out of those dinosaur molds they made for the Dino theme in 2012). Here's an example:

Recently, I was feeling nostalgic for my early childhood LEGO collection (which was sold off or given away during my dark ages); so I decided to order one of my favorite childhood sets from BrickLink: the Galactic Peace Keeper. I was a little dissapointed when I received it, because the "complete" set I ordered turned out to be considerably less than complete (to date, this has been the only really dissapointing BrickLink purchase I've made; but that's a different story). Necessity being the mother of invention, I decided to mod the set into a more modern version of the Galactic Peace Keeper: The fold-out wings of the original Galactic Peace Keeper were--in my opinion, at least--the only real flaw of the original design. A mild gust of wind could easily knock them off of the model. I lost them fairly quickly when I was a child; so it's no surprise, really, that the model I received from BrickLink didn't include them. That being the case, I added a new--much larger, much bulkier, and much more firmly attached--pair of wings to my version. Keeping with the spirit of the original, I wanted them to be articulated: The original Galactic Peace Keeper had a pair of sensors (or whatever TLG called them to make sure kids knew they weren't guns even though they looked conspicuously like guns) tucked up underneath the printed panels. I wanted to put something in that space as well; so I asked myself, "what would TLG have put here if it had designed the Galactic Peace Keeper a decade later?" The answer was obvious: flick-fire missiles! The missile attachments fold out of sight when the wings are in the "closed" position and swing into firing position when the wings are in the "open" position: Overall, I'm very pleased with what I have created. It is--in my opinion, at least--an improvement over the original model; but it is still close enough to the original to trigger a happy sense of nostalgia. I hope you like it as well.

Now that I'm an adult and I know about the ingredients that are used to make The Dip, I have to say that it really is scary stuff.

I love this idea and I can't wait to see more!

I would be remiss if I didn't vote for Boba Fett.

TFA C-3PO gets my vote.

Add my name to the list of Darth Vader's supporters.

Loki needs more support....

The Naboo Security Officer gets my vote.
