The LEGO Batman Movie Set/CMF Rumors & Discussion
VaderFan2187 replied to Sir Gareth's topic in LEGO Licensed
What. You do realize @Peppermint_M is a moderator, don't you? The Mr Freeze one? I like it. Just that I feel his gun is a bit weird in comparison to the rest of the mech. And those hand pieces He just seemed a bit too informal. -

Review | LEGO 75174 Star Wars ● Desert Skiff Escape
VaderFan2187 replied to Brick Ministry's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Very nice @Brick Ministry! I like your speed builds and have been waiting for this for a while -
Ohh. Man, that's really far. I was thinking of making a MOC of the Citadel. But no references =

Hello everyone! Just sharing my thoughts on the Rogue One sets from 2016. Just a note to say I don't have any of the Rogue One sets from 2016 at the time of writing. 75152: Imperial Assault Hovertank Price in my region: $69.99 This set looks pretty good to me. The spring-loaded shooters are really well integrated into the build. Chirrut Imwe, currently exclusive to this set, is a great figure to have. The Hovertank Pilots are good too, I like the sand highlights. Unfortunately, the ship does seem a too low down, plus it lacks one crate. Aside from the crate, it just looks like a flat grey build. 75153 AT-ST Price in my region: $99.99 Sorry, the images are kinda blurry. I like this set too. It's likely the best version of the AT-ST to date, albeit slightly a little too tall. Well-integrated spring-loaded shooters seem to quickly become a staple in 2016's Rogue One sets. I love that Baze Malbus figure! It's really detailed, the only complain I have is his hair is too short, but it was arguably limited by his backpack. The only main complaint I have about the set is that it's a little too small for $99.99. 3 bags only? Even the Hovertank has 4. 75154 TIE Striker Price in my region: $129.99 I take back what I said about "Well-integrated spring-loaded shooters." They really seem stuck on on this one. However, I really like the rest of the ship. The folding wing play feature looks smooth and tight, and the cockpit seems better than the one in the First Order TIE Fighter. I feel like the back is a bit of a waste of space, as they should have allowed space for another minifigure. On the other hand, the round shape of the TIE Striker is really well captured. I love it! 75155 U-wing Price in my region: $149.99 This image -------^ is of Jyn with her poncho, the next one is without the poncho. The minifigures in this set are good. You get two named main characters in currently exclusive garb. Also, you get a named minor character (albeit not named on the box). Bistan looks good too, plus the U-wing's pilot. It is noteworthy, however, that Jyn and Cassian are dressed wrongly, as both are wearing thick woolly clothes that they wore on Eadu, while the presence of the Corporal Eskro Casrich and Bistan indicate this is meant to be from the Battle of Scarif. Also, Jyn and Cassian did not arrive on Scarif in a U-wing, much less the one with Bistan. But I digress. The build looks marvellous. We have more well-integrated spring-loaded shooters, activated using blue pieces on the front. I like it when the missiles are near cannons (to simulate cannons firing) and that is true of this set. I'm not too sure what I feel about the cockpit-opening mechanism, but without it it may be hard to open the cockpit, which unfortunately does not seat two. The storage at the back does feel kinda tacked on, but the troop carrier section looks good, and even has guns which fold out. However, the guns which fold out seem inaccurate to me, as Bistan fired the guns in a U-wing through a window, not by opening a door and folding a gun out. This, though, seems like a worthy compromise in my opinion, as a troop disembarkation with covering fire play feature works. I really love this set! 75156 Krennic's Imperial Shuttle Price in my region: $169.99 Hooray for sleek black ships! I love shiny black Star Wars stuff (my love for Darth Vader is not without reason) and Krennic's Shuttle looks really good. Currently, all the minifigures are exclusive, and they are Director Orson Krennic, Bodhi Rook, Pao, K-2SO, and two Death Troopers. The spring-loaded shooters are not completely integrated, but are hidden under the wings and look okay. Krennic's seat in the cockpit does make his cape a little squashed and thus make him look slightly uncomfortable. There are also four seats in the shuttle, two of which can be used by the Death Troopers. The panels fold open, but the interior is ugly with a lot of Technic pieces. However, when folded up, the shuttle looks great, especially with the wings in flight mode. I absolutely adore this set! To me, the higher the prices, the better the sets in the wave are. However, all of the sets are good to a certain extent for their price tags! Now, it's time for me to go buy these :) Let me know your thoughts about the sets in replies!

Congrats to all the winners! -
How do people get such good deals on LEGO Star Wars? The best I've gotten is Battle on Takodana at 33% off

It uses quite a few more specialised pieces than what this one seems to look.

Very nice @ChristopherLee! I like the handy ice cream (haha jk, nice piece usage) I will support it when I go to Ideas

[UCS] [WIP] [MOC] Venator Class Star Destroyer
VaderFan2187 replied to Ellisss_2's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Looks really good @Ellisss_2! However I don't think the trans light blue goes well with the dark red on the bridge, is that accurate? -
I saw that a while ago… it was built by a man… who thought that was a good idea??? Also, any way I can modify the superlaser to make it start where the tributary lasers converge?
-
It should, just a little. But it's close enough in my opinion.

Sorry for the double post (it didn't merge), but isn't the shaping in the LEGO AT-ST off? It's top-wide bottom-thin, but I remember the in-universe one having relatively flat sides. -
Sorry. Didn't go through the links.
