  1. I had thought lego's constant barrage of landspeeders had ruined the design for me, but I've been proven wrong. This looks really nice, I like that you've got it tiled and managed to get it too look so much closer to the model than any of lego's designs.
  2. It wouldn't make sense for that set, but that's never stopped lego before! Would add some more desirability to the rey in the set too, yellow lightsaber blades aren't super rare but they are harder to find. I still remember the old "lego star wars complete saga" game and all the stuff it had. I do hope we get a "rebel friend" promo someday, it would only require one new print. I think he said specifically the second death star, but I'm not sure. It's unlikely the game cover is hinting at a new one anyway, though. So June seems likely, or late may.
  3. Why sell a $30 x-wing for $30 when you can sell a recolor of the $80 x-wing you sold 4 years ago, with a smaller side build, for $90? Usually I'm not one to bash lego for pricing, but those x-wings are getting too expensive. I was working on a display for snoke's throne room and remembered that we don't have the third style of praetorian guard helmet yet. Might be tough to get it to work in a set, seeing as the only way to do it would be another throne room or battle pack, and we just got those in the past few years, but it would be great to complete the collection.
  4. I'm actually pleasantly surprised there's anything to spoil, given we know how the clone war itself ends from ROTS and the fates of rex and ahsoka from Rebels. Sorry to hear you saw a spoiler, though. I don't remember what's happened in the past for them, but seems a bit far off for an official reveal (January 1st sets usually leak in late november.) That said, the 501st battle pack was revealed, what, april 2nd? and doesn't release until august, though it was a bit of a special case.
  5. I think the bowser junior tower in the starter set could work somewhat well for that, though it's hopefully not meant to represent it. Yeah, that would be great, honestly I'm not the biggest zelda fan but breath of the wild was a great game from what I've played and I'd totally get a set of it. Uh, Yay, Mario, i hope we get actual minifigures eventually.
  6. That actually makes alot of sense. It is a really nice inclusion and improves my opinion of LEGO a bit, that they'd add those parts chiefly for AFOLS and others who want to display it. @HRC (it's not letting me qoute you directly for some reason) that makes sense. And yeah, the cannon is pretty annoying. I'm wondering how many parts of it could be used to work on a bridge for the helicarrier?
  7. Thanks. I just remembered a similar thing happening when I purchased a set on backorder in 2015 along with a small set and got a box of all the promos and the small set and then weeks later the backorder set. Same reason people post fake lego leaks, or IGN posted that fake mandalorian trailer. Momentary popularity, clicks, views, possibly ad money if youtube lets them monetize the clips.
  8. Question: will this work if I was to cancel and re-pre-order the razorcrest using that trick?
  9. Good idea, one of them probably should have the pilot print.
  10. This looks great! even with the lack of a good canopy being available at that scale, it's still instantly recognizable and even though it's smaller than the actual set, it still looks better in some places IMO. With some prints on the canopy, that could easily be a $10-15 set put out by lego.
  11. The tank driver ones? Maybe one or two, but I didn't want to change the figure setup that much.
  12. 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!
  13. 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
  14. 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.
  15. 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!
  16. 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.
  17. 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?
  18. 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.
  19. 2 stormtroopers and a TIE like the slave one in the bespin MBS would be a nice side build to give the villains something.
  20. 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!
  21. 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.
  22. As other have said, the t visor ones are male and the more y-shaped visor ones are female.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
