I got recently got the Star Wars The Last Jedi Visual Dictionary, there is one tiny note that says "Beyond these armour units, the first order fields AT-MA (All Terrain Mobile Artillery), AT-PD (All Terrain Patrol Droid) and AT-HS (All Train Heavy Scout) combat walkers." and that's it... At first I thought the AT-HH which pull the Seige Cannon might have been what Lego had created with some kind of mix up on the name. The description of the AT-HH says: "...Their legs are a complex arrangement of crowded, redundant limbs that greatly increase the craft's resistance to battle damage." So guess the AT-HS could be seen as a cross between a AT-ST and the AT-HH that pulled the cannon. Looks like another book I should get! Thanks!

I've only been back from my 'Dark Age' for a short period of time but it seems like every Rogue One set and every TFA set has had at least 20% discount at some point in time and most sets much more. If your willing to wait then I'm 99% sure it will be discounted some where either directly or via an offer.

Video Build & Review - 75180 Rathtar Escape
Ahzeal replied to MartinCliffe's topic in LEGO Star Wars
I think and cool if you could confirm the Han Solo Head is actually new. The one from the Millennium falcon has a thin line and a smile face, where as this one seems to come with a thin line and a grimace face. Edit- Ah watching as I was typing, I see you mention that now :) -
Just got the summer 2017 battle packs from Smyths in the UK: 75166 - First Order Tranbsport Speeder Battle Pack 75167 - Bounty Hunter Speeder Bike Battle Pack Both £11.99 Stopped my self getting the 75180 Rathtar Escape, I think it was ~£85 hard to pay that when you know at some point it will be at least 25-35% cheaper if not more...

Wow this is amazing, really like it, I'm not a big fan of Micro fighters but I do really like the two you have created, but my favorite bit is the buildings and the use of the 3 sand tones and then a few little white and grey highlights. Really top notch stuff, and the Photography looks really good as well. I've had in my mind an idea to do a Jedha MOC with a full sized ATST, if I ever get round to it then I will sure take some inspiration from this!

http://brickset.com/article/27427/star-wars-celebration-exclusive-set-revealed! It comes with Luke and Han in storm-trooper outfits. In the LDD program, you can create build instructions by clicking on one button in the top right and then once the instructions are created there is one button in the top left to create HTML version. So its quite simple. Unfortunately though sometimes the order it put things together and images shown aren't so helpful.
-
I created the HTML instructions from the LDD and then printed them as a PDF, see how this is: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4G1ihiFCV8aV2ZtN0R1ME1sMmM

Oops sorry my bad, I've updated the link now and you should get the LLD
-
No need to convert anything. If you create a wanted list in Bricklink and then in the wanted list at the top you will see a button called "upload" click that and then attach the LLD file I've linked in my original post. Thanks for the comments guys. What is kind of funny is the two pictures I've seen both differ slightly, the stripy bit at the back is different on both, the box picture doesn't seem to have the tube bit in the left corner or it's there but maybe the other way round? The box also seems to have a Dark tile on the top right. Does Lego normally release the instructions eventually for these exclusive sets?

Hi Guys, Read the Lego news that at Star Wars Celebration there will be an exclusive detention block rescue set. Thought it looked cool and thought it would be interesting to create it in LLD from just the two Photo's that are currently available. So here it is, I've used 210 parts and the official one is 220. I'm not sure about the top right hand side. It looks like the pictures but wonder if it finished off slightly differently. LLD can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4G1ihiFCV8aNC1tbjJJWHdnbHc/view?usp=sharing

Bought Kylo Ren's Shuttle BNISB for 61.50 including postage from eBay last night. Works out at ~45% discount. Slight side question is there a good database / website listing of all star wars mini-figures? Edit: Never mind answered my own question... found this http://brickset.com/minifigs/category-Star-Wars

Just got the resistance transport from TFA 50% off from the Lego Online Shop and the First Order Transport from John Lewis 34% off which I purchased as I noticed it had been retired on lego.com, now just 4 released sets on my wish list Y-Wing, the two TFA X-Wings and Kylo Ren's Shuttle. Just waiting for some good discounts. I'm also just bricklinking some figures and parts to make ScottishDaves version of the First Order Transporter and to get the TFA figs from sets I won't buy.

Where did you "pick" them up from? :)
-
Like Forresto, the ATST led me to building a customised version and really captured my imagination, so it's my favourite. Y-wing is the only one I've not got yet, waiting for a discount or offer. I think all the sets seem expensive at RRP but thankfully there seems to be plenty of discounts.

I've finally built this! My first bricklink / LLD custom model and I have to say it looks so cool, thanks anothergol! I did think at first it would never stand on its own but then I realised I had missed two vital bits... 2 of the high friction bracket things! With those correctly in place it now stands on its own and looks amazing! Following the instructions in the LLD was a challenge but in some ways part of the fun also :) It is quite easy to break, so I added one 1x4 on each side, inside, to give it a little more strength. I might try to change up the legs a little not sure. Number one priority now is to create a base for it. I'm thinking of a sand one to give it a rogue one Jedha vibe. Thanks again anothergol!

So I just got this book today and so far few interesting things... The Hover Tank is called the TX-255 Occupier and comes in two main modules. The main one uses a continuous track assembly (a tank track) for propulsion. A secondary model uses repulsorlifters to hover slightly above the ground. The key thing the book says is its the main track assembly version that was used on Jedha not the hover tank! Additionally the book shows that a tank has three crew. A commander that sits at the back and can use the rear hatch to look out. I pilot that sits at the front and who's head normally protrudes out of the front hatch. Then an additional 3rd crew member who sits next to the pilot just slightly lower and who is the gunner. Another interesting fact is the Tie Striker seats 2. It has a seat in the rear for an optional bombedier / gunner. Now the lego model does have an opening at the back but it doesn't fit a minifig. So I have both these sets but I haven't built them yet but now when I do I want to try and modify them in line with this information from the book.

How about the prison transport vehicle as a possible set? Very minimal screen time I know but so has a few of the others... I read or watched something that stated that was done on purpose so to set this as something different to the trilogy of trilogies.

Wasn't sure where to post this (or if posting it is allowed... if not sorry). I just noticed Tesco Direct has upto a 1/3 off LEGO sets. Seems its just for the next 7 hours. Couple of examples: LEGO City Cargo Train 60052 - Was £113.99 SAVE £38.76 - Pay £75.23 LEGO Star Wars Imperial Assault Hovertank 75152 - £28.49 - SAVE £9.69 - Pay £18.80

Hi Guys, watched it last night at the 12.01 viewing. From a Star Wars point of view loved it, really good film, need to watch it a few more times to get a good sense of where it fits into my list of best star wars films but its definitely in the top 5! From a Lego Star Wars perspective:
-
Thanks that article was interesting and useful.
-
Thanks for the response guys. Plenty for me to think about. Going to build the custom ATST and then decide how to progress from there. Think I'm definitely going to collect some Star Wars minifigs and probably get all the Rogue One Sets then take it from there. Fancy doing one of the custom Snow Speeders I've seen on here also... :)

Hi Guys, I'm just getting back into LEGO. I've purchased and been gifted a few Speed Champions Cars that I've enjoyed building and displaying on my desk. I'm a huge Star Wars fan and I just recently purchased the AT ST and then went about modifying it and following the thread here at Eurobricks. I've then just in the last few days made my first bricklink orders so I can build anothergol custom ATST. Now I'm trying to decide what I want to do with my Lego hobby. I thought about purchasing all the Rogue One Set's, I really like the mini figures from them but I've also seen how easy it is to get these outside of the set from eBay and Bricklink. I've been looking at a lot of LEGO vignette's and diorama's. This interests me a lot I'm not sure though if there is then much value in getting the normal sets just for figures and parts or if it would be better getting the figures separately and the specific parts I need for specific MOC's and Vignett's from PAB and Bricklink. So as the title says how do you do LEGO? Are you focusing on one theme? collecting all the sets in a theme? just picking and choosing sets you like the look of? not getting sets at all? Whats your goal with your Lego hobby?
