    That's a very clean build with nice thin wings and excellent brick-built detailing. The AoTC Delta-7 is a very tricky subject and I think you've done a great job. My only suggestions would be that I prefer a more upright seating position, and I wish the white wedges on either side of the tail fin were curved.

    It is a fact that there is a large section of the Lego fan base that absolutely cannot stand the LAN channels. It is NOT a fact that "REAL Lego fans don't like LAN channels." That is your opinion, and that is gatekeeping. I consider myself pretty knowledgeable about Lego themes, Lego building techniques, and Lego history. I've been following Lego releases pretty closely for about 25 years, through catalogs and the internet. I appreciate many LAN members and their content. I also appreciate many non-LAN Lego content creators and their content. I do NOT appreciate LAN and non-LAN content creators sniping at each other, putting each other down, and gatekeeping. Play well, everybody.

    Lots of hasty generalizations there. Should Lego make every LAN Youtuber take a subject matter competency/knowledge test for each major IP set? Does Lego even distinguish LAN members by the themes they prefer? I don't think so. Please don't gate-keep like this. Saying that "REAL Lego fans don't like LAN channels" is false and unnecessarily negative.

    Also, Endurance is a famous ship of Antarctic exploration. Exploration, polar exploration, (space exploration) are all very much aligned with Lego's brand values. Endurance is probably the most famous sailing ship of exploration that was entirely peaceful. Beagle would also be a good fit, but to a lesser degree, and they've already rejected a Beagle project on Ideas a couple of times.

    That's definitely the smallest X-wing build I've ever seen.

    It's just a very good render. It's not real.

    Good thinking, that's definitely the most prominent vehicle that's had lots of playscale releases and no UCS. And like others have said, there's the Naboo fighter, with an asterisk because the chrome UCS version was no larger than a playscale fighter.

    As in the post just above yours, the instructions are on Rebrickable.

    Looks like the UCSv2 to me.

    Freemaker Adventures got 5 sets. Yoda Chronicles got 2. This animation is getting how many, 3? X/Tie, Dark Falcon, Jedi Bob?

    No pictures of Jedi Bob's starfighter in there, unfortunately. The Dark Falcon in the trailer is a recolored UCS v2, not the upcoming playset. There are some pretty good pics of the new X-wing and TIE fighter in the configuration of TIE cockpit ball + X-wings. It looks to me like they kept the main components of the 2021 models (TIE cockpit, X-wings) with as few modifications as possible, and grafted them together as simply as possible. To me, that makes the X-wing less interesting than I hoped it would be, although we've already seen that its fuselage is pretty different than the 2021 version. I can't tell how the wings of the new version stay open. They appear to be hinged on Technic axles, not click hinges, but I can't see any mechanical jacks or elastic bands to keep them open.

    If we're getting pictures of the ISD now, I hope pictures of the Dark Falcon, Jedi Bob starfighter, Onyx Cinder, and X-wing/TIE fighter two-pack are coming soon.

    I didn't make an account until 2017(?), but I was reading Eurobricks as far back as 2004. I clearly remember reading a Eurobricks review of the 7256 Jedi Starfighter and Vulture Droid from the 2005 RotS wave on a school computer during tech class and getting a snide remark from the teacher! Edit - that's funny, I pretty clearly remember it being a Eurobricks review but I can't find it in the review archive.

    I guess it really just comes down to the hat with the downturned brim instead of the upturned brim, and the lack of dual-molded legs. Saying "I'll skip the City version" is really just an excuse to not spend ten bucks or thirty bucks on a little City set when my wanted list is overstuffed with much larger sets from a variety of themes.

    I'm glad I got the CMF Johnny Thunder. I'll skip the City version.
  17. icm
    Yeah, I dunno. Probably nobody. It's probably not worth the effort.

    Ok. End of discussion.

    I reply because this is a subject that you've beaten to death and I'm sure that if we took a poll, most forum users would not be obsessing over the detailed lore of these sets because they say "City" on the box. I'm curious what the deep motivations of your soul are that won't let you move past the "City" label on the box like everyone else does. Does it? Do they?
  20. icm
    Honest question, danth, why does this matter so much to you? Forget the lore. There is no lore. There's builds in the box. That's what matters.

    Conversely, my interest just shot up. I don't have an ISD and I think the playscale ISD from 2014 was really good.
  22. icm
    Just swap the heads!
  23. icm
    True that! (I actually haven't sold any of my Lego before, this is new for me.) Looks like the figure in the mech doesn't have arm printing or dual-molded boots? Maybe I can pass on that set then. I have one or two extra plain-vanilla pilot Lukes in my loose minifigs.
  24. icm
    I think I'll probably buy the microfighter and the mech, sell the builds and keep the figures.

    I looked up more about the rover deployment and it looks like the set is correct about what equipment was added to the chassis after it had already unfolded. That makes me feel better about it.
