    @jdubbs confirmed the lambda is fake but the TIE is real. TIE looks great, cockpit's a bit big but other than that it's definitely of great quality, especially for only $40.
  2. Mandalorianknight
    Cool. Cockpit's a bit big, but still looks like a great set overall. Yes. The quality drop isn't nearly as bad as a 43% price drop would imply, honestly the only thing I notice is the cockpit's a bit big. Unless the figures are absolute garbage, this will be a great set.

    Looks amazing? Are you planning on redoing the rest of delta squad with printing?
  4. Mandalorianknight
    I'd also prefer a minifigure scale one, but I agree that it's unlikely. I think we'll see a gunship larger than minifigure scale with, say, 2 clone pilots, a clone trooper, and jedi bob.
  5. Mandalorianknight
    That's actually pretty smart, because it'd allow them to get the full bubble, unlike the previous sets.

    I mean the tower's great, but do you have any closer images of that ship? Seriously the tower is pretty good though. It's recognizably mandalorian architecture despite mandalore not really having any iconic buildings besides the throne room (or really just the interior), which is pretty impressive.
  7. Mandalorianknight
    interesting. The 2013 gunship was $120, so accounting for inflation around $133. This would suggest that the upcoming gunship will indeed be larger than playscale, as that's almost twice the price the 2013 gunship would go for today. agreed.

    But the y-wing was only $60, a respectable price for a starfighter/bomber. Compare that to x-wings and ties now routinely going for $80-90, and it makes sense that they might want to find ways to make them at lower prices.

    I've been resisting this as well. I have nowhere to put it, and I've spent so much on LSW this year already....but it's such a good set.
  10. Mandalorianknight
    maybe, but it'd likely break under the weight of a snowspeeder.
  11. Mandalorianknight
    Impressive! The printing is on point, I had to take another look at the second image because I actually thought you'd cut the torso to get the hips right, but it's just expert printing.
  12. Mandalorianknight
    Maybe a bit less then that, but yeah, you'd earn a lot. The problem is twofold: It takes time and effort, and that you have no guarantee of it selling.This is why most people don't do this. If you're going to spend about as much time on this to have the CHANCE to earn about as much as you would just working for an hour or so, than why not just do the work? I'm actually a bricklink seller, and I don't part out big sets for this reason. If I'm going to spend $350 on something to earn, say, $50 more than what I spent, and there's no guarantee it'll sell at all, in that case just leaving me $350 in the hole, then why take the risk? I only part stuff out if I'm planning to keep some of it (ex: buying the ahsoka tank, and then selling the trooper and ahsoka for about $38, ending with me essentially getting the tank and pilots for $2.)
  13. Mandalorianknight
    Honestly it's possible you could make almost the entire cost of the second copy back by selling the figures and dewback of the second one, maybe the speeders too.
  14. Mandalorianknight
    Welp, if you're looking for transparent lego solutions, there isn't much. The one in the image isn't lego, of course, the only lego solution I can think of that's remotly transparent is using transparent lifarms, but that of course means you'll have some grey or black pins visible.
  15. Mandalorianknight
    Watch the arc again, it's great! This model is amazing. It feels almost like a UCS ship, I love it. Honestly I didn't think it was possible to make this in lego with any real accuracy, clearly I was wrong! One minor thing, I think they're supposed to be more of a brown or nougat color with yellow markings.
  16. Mandalorianknight
    Strongly seconded. You can recoup about $15 by selling the ahsoka, and if you sell the 332nd trooper too (which is what I did, I only wanted one, they're to specific of a unit for me to want to mass) you can recoup a minimum of about $38. So $2 total for a tank with it's two drivers isn't too bad! I'll probably get more once they're easier to find. So...phantom menace sets or the airspeeder chase? Clones are one of the most popular character designs with kids and (if this forum is any indication) adults alike, if they can put a clone in a set they will.
  17. Mandalorianknight
    I would add that obi-wan's hut could be helpful if you're trying to add some more builds, too. If not, i'd definitely go with the rebel and tatooine battle packs.
  18. Mandalorianknight
    Upon some google research, it's just a really popular fan design. it seems like people have made fan art and custom action figures for it. Bacara and rex look great, we really need another rex in lego form, it's been so long!
  19. Mandalorianknight
    We don't even know for sure she's in the series... at this point all I'm hoping for from that set is the season 2 variant of mando.
  20. Mandalorianknight
    No. The other one is a review of the cantina, and this is, I believe, meant to be a long complaint about the price that morphed into someone arguing about the disney castle being better or something. (Clearly, it is not, the cantina is the best!)
  21. Mandalorianknight
    They can't, or at least couldn't. Hasbro had the exclusive rights to sell action figures, and minifigures somehow counted, so the battle pack sets are the closest lego can get. Rumor is, since hasbro changed their agreement with disney, they may now be able too. Yup. 2021 wave is going to be amazing for kids, with the ability to get the two most iconic star wars vehicles for half their normal price.
  22. Mandalorianknight
    These look great! is the kyber trooper your own design or is it something from canon?
  23. Mandalorianknight
    I haven't found a single one anywhere near chicagoland
  24. Mandalorianknight
    I think you may have failed to pick up on the pattern there... imperial shuttle is not a sequel-era ground vehicle or base
  25. Mandalorianknight
    No kidding. If it's this bad 1-2 months after it's been released, imagine how bad it'll be a few months after it retires. There's even a 7 week wait for replacement parts. I'm planning to buy a few copies once all this calms down a bit, maybe it'll pay for my college education. Not if I get there first! Seriously though, they need to make more of these sets. what's the good of an army builder if you only end up with 3 troopers and a jet trooper? They're staging a raid, the cantina has 18 galactic health code violations.
