LEGO Star Wars 2022 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!
Csaba replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Lego have been disappointingly stingy with the figures on the last few UCS sets. Wouldn't suprise me if they limited it to Mando and Grogu (hope I'm wrong obviously). -
That's the plan for when I eventually get around to building it. Unfortunately, I need to redesign it from the ground up first as it was done on the fly so the bricks aren't placed in a logical order.

LEGO Star Wars 2022 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!
Csaba replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
My initial thought is that they would want to release multiple sets with Kaminoans. I assume that the mould is unique to this figure so they'll want to get some use from it. Might be wrong, of course! -
Thanks for the suggestions. Recreating official sets is an obvious suggestion that I hadn't considered before.
-
Thanks. It's a lot closer than I expected.I thought 75218 was a lot longer.
-
Does anyone have photos of this next to 75218 and 75301? it would be interesting to compare the size differences.
-
I've just started playing around with designing sets using Studio. So far, all I've managed is the Tantive IV hallway. Does anyone have any recommendations for simple builds that will help to develop my skill with the software? Could be a diorama, ship, or anything really.
-
Thanks for the suggestions and comments everyone
-
The MOC was designed in Studio. This is my first attempt at using any type of graphic design software. The design is completely studless. I wanted all of the top-level to be the same height but couldn't work out how to make the arches line up. Let me know if anyone has any feedback or tips on using the software.
-
One of my friends thinks that some of the building techniques are similar to those used in the AAT, which was a "ball ache" to put together on a significantly smaller vehicle. It looks amazing but, I'll stick with my UCS version.

Defense of Hoth is is a Lego store/website exclusive, Snowtrooper Battle Pack is at multiple retailers.

10283 NASA Space Shuttle Discovery Discussion

Video here posted by someone that replaced the stickers with chrome paint. -
It's more or less minifig scale. The cockpit is always bigger when we see inside the ship but, I get the impression they give the ship Tardis qualities when they make the sets. The Brick Vault version has more than double the number of pieces of the UCS version. From looking at the pictures, this might be due to replacing a few large pieces with lots of small pieces rather than increasing the size of the ship. The windscreen from the UCS ship goes for stupid amounts so I'm not sure how they'll get around that issue.
-
I just had an email about Brick Vault's new set. The instructions are $50 and they estimate that the pieces cost $950 - $1100 so it isn't cheap. It looks smoother than the official UCS set so it would be interesting to see them next to each other.
-
Thanks
-
Is the price for the manual available? I can't see it in this thread or on StarBricks' website.
-
Thanks for the feedback. I prefer minifig scale, which pushes me towards Brick Vault, but, the engines on the Star Bricks version are much nicer. Decisions, decisions...
-
Thanks for the suggestion.
-
Thanks for the feedback. I hadn't compared the engines but, now that you've mentioned it I can see that the difference is huge.
-
Does anyone know of any instructions for modding the UCS Slave 1 stand so that all of the minifigs can be displayed on the stand? I'm lookingh for something similar to the Wicked Bricks stand but, made from LEGO.
-
Can anyone comment on the differences in size, stability, building experience, and so on between this U-Wing and Brick Vault's U-Wing? StarBricks' U-Wing has around 500 extra pieces so I'm assuming it's a bit bigger?
-
Thanks for the quick response.
-
I know Brick Vault have released updated instructions of some MOCs, such as the U-Wing, UCS Ghost and Jerac's TIEs. Can this version of the RC be considered to be definitive or are the instructions likely to be significantly updated at some point? I'm definitely going to build it sooner or later but I don't want to start accumulating pieces until the instructions are 100% finished.
-
Very nice work. I built this set last myself last month. I thought that the gaps in the wings and the canopy mount were two main issues with the model. I'll be interested to see the update when Jerac is finished.
