    This base is really nice, very effectively replicates the lava, with the darker and lighter tones throughout. Most impressive I should say.

    haven't seen it here, but the proportions look way off

    I'm starting to think now, after all this very characteristic blabbering going on for pages about this, that it's a deliberate tactic from LEGO to have this set on the shelves without any explanation. They just threw the stone to the lake, and laughing about all the pointless theories born every second minute about when or where this ship will show up. This is slightly amusing. But more annoying.

    I don't want to start a flamefest here, but they definitely didn't make up for it. Compensated a bit maybe, the design was fine yes, and the critics, who were saying that "it's not star wars" because everything is shiny are ridiculous. If you're only looking at stills from the movies, it probably still looks good (minus the CGI-fest). If it weren't for the screenplay.... and that's from someone who also grew up with these movies. Now it's just another thing which when I see again, I say to myself: ...god, I had horrible taste growing up... but no regrets, because these Gungan-infested Lucas brain-diarrheas made me love Star Wars. But to stay on target...what kind of lights did you use? They do look awesome, perfect solution for lava

    I recently rewatched the prequels, and honestly, they are just getting worse with time. This fight in particular is ridiculously unnecessarily over-choreographed. But these films gave us at least unlimited memes :D But as for your MOC, that's flawless, although you should remove the capes as they are not wearing it for the duel. And you should make another shot with the iconic "high ground" scene

    This actually doesn't sound too bad, if it can be modded to fit the 2014 cantina (and why wouldn't it be). The bar can be extended, Han, with his new hairpiece looks much better (although I lost count how many of him I already have), and a sandtrooper is always a good addition to any collection. I'd be happy to get Wuher anyway. Maybe they update Greedo slightly as well, although I have nothing against the old one. If the price point proves to be true, it's worth it even at full price (probably not in my country, but I can wait for a discount)

    Oh come on, don't undersell it, it looks brilliant! It's an effective and sympathetically simplistic rendition of the craft, and while I admire the more intricate and complex builds that some are kind enough to share, this truly looks like that can be designed by someone who doesn't spend most of his free waking ours in rooms full of LEGO. (BTW, if you were more like some SW fans, you could justify the inaccuracies by concocting a 1000+ character backstory to the ship )

    Got into the holiday spirit, I got the advent calendar recently, never thought I'd be buying one 27 years old, but I've never had one until now. Plus after the hours of agony of selecting a nice calendar for the wife the other day, I thought I deserved a little treat It was also discounted at 25 CHF so why not. This year I've given the steering wheel to my wife to select me a 1000+ parts set for Christmas, so looking forward to see what it will be Until then I just have to be strong enough not to check my account on S@H....

    Nice! Great blend of proven designs and unique ideas, and definitely blows TLG-s horrible rendition out of the water. That's probably this year's biggest letdown for me too..

    Here's the list of the "Light sword" elements on brickset: https://brickset.com/parts?query=Light Sword - Blade I suspect not all on your list are genuine LEGO parts.

    Glorious.I can feel the pride and accomplishment flow through it.
  12. brobert
    Sad but true. I would like to see a Battlefront II lootbox MOC for an added sense of pride and accomplishment.
  13. brobert
    Not sure I understand, why is this Yavin? And what are the transparent tiles representing? (And the game is just so frustrating, but don't get me started on that...)
  14. brobert
    I searched but haven't found anything related to this: do we have any information on what promotions to expect from S@H in December?
  15. brobert
    OR...what if the SNAKE IS SNOKE???!?!?!??? ok, sorry I'm finished
  16. brobert
    This is a weird set. No one seems to know what it's actually based on (except for that toy design from decades ago), and it's basically just a remix from the snowspeeder from 3 years ago...Even the piece count is the same :) Although the snowspeeder is still a much more appealing set IMO, since that came with 4 minifigs, and some actual opposition to the speeder, not a moisture evaporator and a SNAKE(???) Interesting though how they changed the fixing of the side wedges, but the spring shooters left there so plain and uncovered is just appalling. They did it much better on the snowspeeder. It's an interesting novelty, but to me it has absolutely zero appeal.
  17. brobert
    very off, but I am pretty sure it was confirmed to be a he. But anyway, size matters not. The internal mechanism is intriguing indeed, and makes up for the shell being quite repetitive.
  18. brobert
    that's a good deal on both, especially with the free grabs...I got BB-8 for a similar price in TRU here. Really pleased with it. The size was so downplayed by the reviews that I actually was positively disappointed when built.
  19. brobert
    way to tantalize the good people of this forum, looking forward to the pages-long wild guessing after this. Aren't we supposed to avoid such zero-information posting like this? Basically what you just said is: there will be UCS re-releases. THanks for nothing, reported to mod-s why does it seem like that? did I miss something?
  20. brobert
    OR...they just slapped a random landmark there for good measure since this vehicle was only seen in legends before. Don't read too much into this. THey just start to run out of justifiably re-releases and need something to work off. They probably discussed with LFL, and it will appear on some animated show so the kids can wish for this set.
  21. brobert
    Nice!
  22. brobert
    Not bad, but I feel the head is a tad too tall. But I realize it's hard to replicate the actual shape as I see it's fully coned...
  23. brobert
    pretty nice I have to say, the Falcon too, but maybe a cone element would be more effective as the cockpit?
  24. brobert
    Exactly, because they want to CRUSH the resistance! (and also because merchandising) But good call updating AT-ST-s, and AT-AT-s, they can come in the next waves. I wouldn't count on them. Screentime doesn't really correlate with the prominance of a set. (Think quadjumper....but if you think about it, the Slave-I didn't have too much screentime either, nevertheless, it's one of the most iconic SW-ships)
  25. brobert
    Simple, but pretty effective, one question though: what is Thrawn doing on the ship just chilling like that???!!
