Now this is what I call an improvement! What a great landspeeder you have there - it's sleek, it's SNOT and detailed. I'd alreadt told you this about your previous version, but this windscreen really works perfectly for the landspeeder. Way better than the sleek, but not-accurate windscreen given in 8092. Last but not least; nice work on the irregular engines and interior, those blaster pistols really work well as a steering wheel. I almost forgot to comment on the little fella; what a nice and cute astromech he is (any plans on making more of them?).

Outstanding work again ''M<0><0<DSWIM''. The speeder bike is a little blocky indeed, but who cares? It's all about the amazing Scout trooper anyway. The helmet is probably the best part indeed, although the torso seems great too.

Fantastic work indeed! The speeder bikes are great, and so is the vegetation, and especially the tree in the background which gives your creation the last touch of texture it needs. Not to mention the awesome photography.

Well, you certainly have a point, but.. why would people buy a new X-wing if the improvements are minimal? Don't get me wrong, apparently the people DO buy new sets which are only a little different from the previous one, but still. I wouldn't. Or they just want the R5-D8 unit as bad as I do.

Wow, this is awesome! I haven't seen such a large tree platform myself before, so it's great you share this with us. Just wondering; are you going to actually ''finish'' the tree by adding a top with vegetation? And will you put this build in a larger scene? I think that would be great, personally. Anyway, great job on this one, especially the technique of adding transparant green cheese slopes on the leaves is a great idea. And the little hut is sweet too.

Great to see you're finished, wokajablocka. I'm sure you've put a lot of effort in the creation, based on the result. The details are there, and the overall look of this scene is awesome. I would love to see more of your creations in the future. Keep up the good work!

No need to bump up one-and-a-half year old threads. If you want to let Brickdoctor know how much you like his work (which I do too ) , just leave a message at his profile please.

But wouldn't $150,- for 2000+ pieces mean that the set includes a lot of standard bricks? Just like 10018 and 7194? I don't hope it will be very sculpture-like though, as I would love to see an accurate and detailed R2-D2, which I'm certainly willing to pay big money for.

Shame on me I didn't comment on this. Every single creation, both Star Wars and non-SW, are just lovely. The Kamino Cloning Facility, the Desert Skiff, the Sarlacc Pit and last but not least; the Geonosian Machines Gauntlet, are probably my favorites. Wait, I almost forgot Dagobah. That's certainly one of your best too. Did I already mention your designs are great?

You have to open a new thread for your creation, and post a link of your thread here, eventual with one picture of your work. Apart from that, the scene you made looks great.

What bothers me about this set is that they could have improved it way more, compared to the previous version. I don't say it's bad, as the changes they made are good, but it's just not enough, they had the change to improve it a lot, yet they didn't. True, the laser cannons are better and we now have the hexagonal backside, but that's it. Why not a new design for the nose? A better windscreen piece? And what abou the engines? Maybe I'm complaining too much, but I feel like this set could still use a lot of work. It's like TLG was thinking the previous X-wing was almost completely accurate, and they thought with some minor changes, they now have the perfect representation of an X-wing.

A TIE-interceptor is indeed better than a LDD Yoda, not in the last place because a detailed and well designed figure would require illegal connections, at least in most of the cases.

I don't know if this is allowed, but here you can find pretty cheap lego. Especially when it comes to Star Wars sets.

Great work! You really made an accurate representation of one of the most significant scenes of the Star Wars movies. Just one thing; I know it's all about the platforum Luke and Vader battle each other, but why not adding some more stuff at the adges of scene, to fill it up a little? But that's just what I think... Anyway, great job. You did well in adding an excellent MOC to the Community Build!

Are you sure they didn't made the minifigures out of 24-karat gold? Unbelievable they can ask those prices for what is, after all, a toy...nothing but a bunch of plastic. And I thought as a Dutchman, I had a hard time finding affordable lego Star Wars sets.

The Imperial Star Destroyer can be useful as a parts pack, especially for the ones needing wedge plates, such as me, who still wants to build an UCS Acclamator..

Well, it isn't such big of a deal to eventually change the hands, but still...

Thanks for the review. However, I doubt if this set is worth the money. The tree is plain, the speeder bike is nothing new, and isn't accurate at all, and the new faces for the Imperial troopers look awkward - and somehow remind me of faces in a comic book. The Endor troopers look good though, but as already mentioned, will need some modifications before fitting in with the Endor troopers we've seen earlier. At the other hand; it's not like folks have tons of the first version of the Endor troopers, right?

Is it? I thought the official version was way larger. Well, shame on me, I guess...

Lovely creation. Really, I love it. The Sarlacc looks great, the Skiff does too, and for as far as I can see, even the Sail Barge at the background is awesome. Not to mention you showed off different scenes accompanied by text balloons, which really gives your creation a finished look. Talking about the Sail Barge, do you have more pictures of it? I would really like to see some close-up shots of it.

Are you going to make a picture with all of your creations included, Doc? It would be great to see them all together. Or, you could take images of your creations in the right angles as presented on the official box art, and let your pictures overlap with those, so you have an picture of the box, but instead of the micro vehicles and figures of TLG, you actually put yours in their place. And to complete it, you could change the text on the box, and change the numbers of pieces etc. And last but not least; merry Christmas Doc'. You really gave us a good time by posting your great creations on a daily basis. I think I can speak for all of us if I say it was really exciting to see what designs you came up with for all the vehicles and figures. Thanks for that. And also to the others members of Eurobricks; merry Christmas.

I'm only active in the Star Wars subforum, and occasionally in the Sci-Fiction one, but I had to take a look at your cute little trains when I saw it at the frontpage. You really made great representations of those trains in such a small scale. It also remembered me of my period before the dark ages, when I made something similar; an engine with two wagons. Talking about nostalgia. Anway, awesome job. I would love to see more of those micro trains in the future. Also, Santa seems to have a good time over there. And let's not forget about your poem, I always love some background story or some other extra's, kudos for that.

Even though the bottom isn't really finished, I still love your attempt on the Millenium Falcon. I'm sure that with some more time and real bricks, you could even make it much better. Especially filling those gaps is hard in LDD... Yet using flex tube is a pretty smart idea. Overall, the Y-wing is still my personal favorite, but who knows what the A-wing will look like...

We've already been over this numerous times.. TLG will never ever put more than ten minfigures in any Star Wars set. Sure, there are exceptions, like 8038, the The Battle Of Endor. Or the Death Star playset of course, but I consider that UCS, not to mention it's price tag which distinguishes it from the regular Star Wars sets. But just take a look at the other large sets, 10198 Tantive IV, for example. A €140,- set, yet it comes with only five minifigures, whom one is exclusive. And what about 7965 Millenium Falcon? A €120,- set, which comes with five minifigures. No way they would have put in ten or more.. At the other hand, one can also notice that medium-sized sets, let's take 7961 Sith Infiltrator for example, contain a decent amount of minifigures when compared to the larger sets, like the two I was talking about earlier in this post. In my opinion, the amount of minifigures in a set, whether it's small or large, is not that much of difference. Edit; Talking about (too much) minifigures in Star Wars sets, then take a look at this suggestion for Lego Cuusoo...

Great work Doc', as usual. You already mentioned your concerns about the flex tubing, which is the only part I'm not so sure about either. But except from that, great, really great work. But... your Y-wing hasn't been topped yet.
