(MOC) 7654 Remake (Droids battle pack)
Mandalorianknight replied to Mandalorianknight's topic in LEGO Star Wars
The tank driver ones? Maybe one or two, but I didn't want to change the figure setup that much. -
LEGO Star Wars 2020 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!
Mandalorianknight replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
I got the easter promos in-bag when I pre-ordered the Razor crest around that time. Wonder if I'll actually receive them. Yeah aside from the price my only complaint is veers looks too happy. Yeah, I get what they were going for but the head looks weird from that angle. So, here in the US, on sale at lego shop.com we have: Assorted junk (watches, keychains, bag tags, etc.) The 4+ a-wing at $11.99 The 20th at-rt at 20% off and out of stock. I'm severely disappointed, I believe none of these are even for may the fourth, just existing sales. Even the action battle sets are full price here! -

Mandalorianknight replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
I don't have one yet either. It looks great and I want to get it, but it doesn't look that much bigger than the 2014 one and is somehow $50 more expensive. i might wait to see it compared to the other at-at sets. The head does look a bit weird. Fun fact though, the rebels AT-ATs are much larger than the normal ones, for some reason. Hey, spoilers! I think I grew up (along with most of my generation) just knowing about that twist for forever, and I was about 4 when I first saw ESB so I can't imagine I was particulary shocked. It must have been so cool (and heart-wrenching) to see that in a theatre, just completely not expecting that. I mean I guess i've got the next clone wars episode to look forwards to in the "heart-wrenching" department. @azzer86 Nice! I did a similar thing with that TIE dagger and sold finn off (I had the one from the falcon already) taking the price down $15. @Brickwraith But something with Maul and Ahsoka is apparently coming. Maybe an AT-TE? LAATs are too big to be only $100 -
Marvel Superheroes 2020 - Rumors & Discussion
Mandalorianknight replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
I don't mind it either, we've had a fair amount of quinjets. Sorry for getting hung up on this, but I still don't see it. almost every plane has a cockpit, and lots of ships have the forewards-pointing wings too. you could just as easily argue it looks like a TIE striker, or a protectorate starfighter. But seeing as this is quite possibly the stupidest thing to get hung up on, I'll leave it alone. -
[MOC] Bounty Hunter Scene (Episode V)
Mandalorianknight replied to Aldar-Beedo's topic in LEGO Star Wars
The new images look great, I like the room with the officers sitting around a fireplace with the busts. Gotta feel bad for that rat stuck on a star destroyer though! -

Mandalorianknight replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
I'm about 99% sure you aren't. Only recent star wars wave I can think of that released later in the US than most countries was first wave of 2017, the sets haven't leaked yet unlike all the other june themes, and no one here's said anything about it. That's an incredible deal, how'd you get it? We in the US might not even get that, unfortunately. -

Mandalorianknight replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Yeah, the tower, hulkbuster, and possibly the bust. I'm still confused by the interceptor thing. The actual interceptors are quite a bit bigger than this quinjet, do you mean it's a similar shape? -
[MOC] Bounty Hunter Scene (Episode V)
Mandalorianknight replied to Aldar-Beedo's topic in LEGO Star Wars
This looks great! I like how smooth it is. If you want to add more images I believe you can link them from your flikr. -
2 stormtroopers and a TIE like the slave one in the bespin MBS would be a nice side build to give the villains something.

After I made the clone battle pack, I had to make it's counterpart, which turned out to be pretty difficult because 1. I'm not that good at MOCing to begin with and 2. the main build doesn't remotely resemble anything in canon or legends, so I didn't have a way to make it more accurate. I made my own spin on the STAP pretty fast, though it's not that good, but that transport build took awhile. My first draft was over 160 pieces, so I had to downsize it. I also brought the number of B2s down from 3 to 2, as even with battle droids I don't think lego would put 7 figures in one battle pack nowadays. One problem with adapting the original transport was it had some pretty big pieces for the sides, so I made a similar shape with smaller pieces, as lego would do in a battle pack today. I also added the dreaded stud shooters for the build, but kept the normal blasters for the figures themselves. The transport seats 3 figures and a pilot, and has room for 4 blasters to be clipped on the sides. Image of the original set for reference: And just for fun, a separatist version, since canonically it doesn't make sense for B2s to be in trade federation colored vehicles: Let me know any suggestions, and if you have an idea for the next one I should make, let me know that as well!

Mandalorianknight replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
i don't know why it never occured to me that the interceptor could be green, but yeah it's probably fake. Someone with the set could have just taken a picture and photoshopped it. He could also be in the AAT, I think it's very likely he or ahsoka will show up. Good. -
75267 Mandalorian Battle Pack minifigure gender?
Mandalorianknight replied to badbob001's topic in LEGO Star Wars
As other have said, the t visor ones are male and the more y-shaped visor ones are female. -

Mandalorianknight replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
This seems likely. Stuff from a few waves ago, the action battle sets, and 4+ all seem likely. Personally I just hope we get a good sale on the AT-AP. -
So given the limited information about their appearance, it works pretty well. I'll be kinda honest though I got distracted by that massive army. Love those ballistae at the back.

DC Superheroes 2020 - Rumors & Discussion
Mandalorianknight replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
I'm going to go out on a limb here, but between the profile picture and your favorite part of the set being the trans-yellow recolours, could you possibly be a classic space fan, by any chance? I like the capes, but the fact that the only set they're in under $50 is 4+ means I'll probably end up briklinking them. -
Marvel Superheroes 2020 - Rumors & Discussion
Mandalorianknight replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
1. Don't see the jedi interceptor connection, (or I'd probably want the set more) but yeah it's not really a quinjet. The main events were always the helicarrier and the figures though, so I'm not too disappointed. 2. spinning isn't going to justify a lego set. You are a sane person (I assume), but you're also not lego's target audience. zero children in that 6-12 range would buy that set. 1. That's a worrying trend you've picked up on. we can only go so far before those collide, probably with the "set only has one non-reused figure" trend. 2. You're right! It's also got the cosmic cube, which the civilian kid picks up, says something like "this cube means i have all the power in the universe"....and then uses it to make a single ice cream cone. It's like lego wrote the comic. 3. fun fact: the batteries were supposed to appear in all the GOTG2 sets, but rocket stole them. August release, so I guess 2 months from now, since the june release stuff has been getting revealed the past few days. -

Maybe it's some sort of collectable or currency, though I doubt it. The thought of this triggers my nostalgia for the old lego star wars games with the minikits and studs. Captain marvel is new-for-june-2020, I feel like a character being in multiple sets in a wave, especially if one is very expensive or 4+, is fine, it's only when it's the same figure in lots of sets through multiple waves (iron man, thor) that it gets annoying. And no sane child (or parent for their child) would buy a quantum realm machine set, the build has 0 play value for kids and most adult's wouldn't want it as most figures would be repeats. I think a leviathan would work, maybe the sanctuary 2, though that would be better done as a UCS style set like the 2015 helicarrier. But yeah, a thanos copter would make everyone happy. Kids get cool helicopter vehicle, adults get the iconic and hilariously stupid thanoscopter, both get some nice figures, lego gets their weird colourful vehicle that shouldn't exist. -

That's an interesting pattern that is supported other vehicles like the AT-RT (only counting the ones where the AT-RT is the focal point of the set and not the small ones in the juggernauts), which I believe is due to the average cycle of sets meaning that they got theri debut set alongside their film, and then the average rerelease time as during the clone wars frenzy of 2008-2013, then their next set was after the show "ended". -
[MOC] Wookie stands out of the crowd
Mandalorianknight replied to afol_legoist's topic in LEGO Star Wars
The fact that you've gotten it to look like it turns is pretty impressive. -
Nice! I wonder if those prototypes turned out well if lego will maybe make force ghosts down the line, between that and the patronusus from harry potter. Is that your own design or do we know what the grysks look like canonically?

Mandalorianknight replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
I'm guessing another 212th, which is fine by me, they're about the cost of the set they came in nowadays. I remember I had 3 copies of the set, but all I can find is an airbourne and my 212th helmet that has the printing on the back. he does look a bit tan in that image, I always remembered him as white in ROTS, I might have to rewatch it. A quick google search shows that on utapau he looks white to me, but he's more tan in the shots on the ship. I think it's just a lighting thing. Whatever the color, we've already had the white one in some cheap sets, so I'm glad we're getting a tan one with the non-cartoony face. -

You fool, the transforming mech/helicopter/oversized motorcycles for Wanda and Vision already leaked, they're $1000 each for 287 parts and one figure! Amazing new-for-2020 feature, you can stack the lego pieces together! Seriously though, what are they there for? Why that piece? is it ammo? Who knows? If only lego would release the official images, maybe we'd know! -

That's a very detailed crawler build, I like it. Especially how the treads are done, with the technic on the ends of the body, does it actually turn? -

Mandalorianknight replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Yeah, MODOK is the peak of random comic book ideas, right up there with "sarcastic duck with a gun" and "thor but he's a horse-like alien" They wouldn't do a transparent cockpit without a way to put figures in it. I'd assume the rotors turning feature takes up some space in the middle, but there has to be a way to acess the cockpit. EDIT: looking at the pictures, there's another transparent window behind the front cockpit one, and there's a clip/bar connection on the roof right in front of the base of the cannon, so I'd guess the interior goes from the cockpit to the base of the cannon, then the wing-turning mechanism, then the MODOK cell. I'm not really sure how the hedwig is similar in any way to the iron man bust besides that they're both brick-built. It's not supposed to be the MCU one. Lots of the comic ones look pretty close to this. -

Tan would suggest this is a clone wars set. (I don't think this is a spoiler but just in case: I don't think this helps us with guessing the other figure anyway.
