  1. I'll say a non-human with little chance to appear outside of a temple/council chamber set, such as Yarael Poof, Oppo Rancisis or Coleman Kcaj, but I'm not sure a "new" mold would be used in a GWP if it were to be a realistic option. Then again this is wishlisting and one could use the kaminoan head, I'm sure they already made snake-like bodies for other in-house themes and most of the other possibilities would only need a dedicated head. For the microfighter I'd say a Justifier if you want it to stay BB-themed (it amuses me for some reason to think of a Justifier micro coming out with the 170€ set still on shelves), if not either a republic larger ship (Consular, Arquitens, Acclamator, Venator, your choice) or a Mandalorian one (thinking Kom'rk or ex-imperial Arquitens with Axe Woves).
  2. After the wonderful V-19 you made last wave I have another challenge for you and this was just the slot I needed =D A Predator-class Fighter from the Legacy era would be interesting, including Gunn Yage as the pilot and a couple of other minifigures depending on how large/expensive it should be, realistically between 2 and 4.
  3. All the speculation, then the April's Fools bombdrop turning out to be real and the following discussion made me forget that a 200 €/$ Chewbacca is still a real and confirmed thing =D I'm trying to be cautiously optimistic about the next waves, although I'm once again excluding the dioramas from my future purchases. My wallet is definitely not happy about the amount of 100+ money sets I'd like but then again summer season means paid overtime, I should be able to splurge a bit coming september. Basing my choices on what we have actually seen pictures of so far: - I do like the TIE v.s Fang set, although I would probably look for mods to make the fang fighter cockpit spin once I buy it; - the 4+ yoda temple is cute and has interesting characters but is not a priority and there is no way I'm spending more than 25€ on it, let alone 43; - the Executor looks like a nice display piece and would tempt me for 50€, not for 70€; - dioramas are quite meh and as already stated by many a bit overpriced; - UCS is not my thing so the X-Wing is out; - I do like the Bo-Katan in the Spider Tank-droid-thing and I'm seeing it's potential to be changed to a CIS something to go against the loads of clones we've been getting lately; - the Pirate fighter has (only) two nice figures but does not spark my interest very much and just serves to remind me I'm still waiting for new, caped and non bug-eyed Hondo Ohnaka =D Regarding the rest I've learned to wait and actually see them before forming an opinion, although I'm from the camp who would have preferred a regular LAAT. Guess I'll have to start hoarding lime and white pieces to see if a conversion is possible.
  4. Sshh! Don't give them ideas! :D
  5. I agree with @icm to go for the AT-AT if you're choosing between that and the Falcon, as LEGO tries to keep a play-scale Falcon on shelves at all time, while the same can't be said for the AT-AT, so it's more probable we'll get a new Falcon in the next couple of years while they phase out the current one. Owning both I can confirm they are both solid sets, and that AT-AT ticks all the boxes from what one could want from such a playset.
  6. I'm late to the party (and still have to comment on your last terrific MOC wave), s,o most of what I'd have suggested is already on the list, but I have a quote-diorama for you, probably on the higher-end of the price scale. "Call up a Hammerhead Corvette" Build is a microscale rendition of a Hammerhead pushing the side of the disabled ISD, depending on the scale it could include part of the second ISD or just be a detailed Hammerhead pushing a gery wall of greebling.
  7. Love the turret but sadly I can't really see the probe droid, do you maybe have a picture of it on a lighter background? I'm really curious about it, seeing the quality of the rest of the build :)
  8. That's the joy of lego, after all, and the uniformed contrast is definitely good. Also I remember your Conveyex, really a wonderful MOD/C =)
  9. That is indeed correct, the best option for Yularen (and Krennic) remains the old chef leg-piece with the white printing continuing below the waist, but given the limited choice from BAM I'll keep him like this for now, preferring this solution to the plain white or black legs =)
  10. Thrawn+Yul The build-a-minifig section of S@H may be a bit lacking in choice at the moment, but I was finally able to give boots to a couple of high ranking imperials =)
  11. After seeing the Summer Vacation special I am here to reiterate my wish for a Vacation Obi-Wan (AKA Larry) Kenobi minifig =D
  12. The rail-plates are exactly the "solution" I considered while nitpicking (because that's what I was doing) the finished build :D
  13. Found out my store didn't bump the price of 75333 Obi-Wan's Starfighter to 35 eur and quickly grabbed one :) I don't know about the official model, but @mcphatty's MOD is a beauty.
  14. That landing pad looks gorgeous! Anyway, I was surprised by how many spare parts I had when I finished your build, but I love how streamlined and sleek you've made it, and I find myself not having any issue with the gap between the wings and body, since solving that particular bit would require additional pieces and the main draw of this mod is that it uses just parts from the set -although I swapped the "new" studshooters for a couple of old one. (Also it was weirdly fun going from the sealed box straight to the mod, checking the official instructions just to confirm the sticker numbers :D ) Again, kudos!
  15. This is exactly something I would love and at the same time dread they'd make, since it would be available ONLY through LEGO stores and S@H and perennially sold-out. Availability issue aside, I think that's one of the best Crab Droids I've ever seen, especially for such a small build.
  16. Lucky, here in Italy July issue has Darth Maul, so they're a bit behind comparing schedules, but I noticed they started "skipping" issues since it became a bimonthly publication after Covid. In other news, this is day 215 of the Clone Pack being out of stock on S@H IT since I started checking daily, and no it's not a case of it coming back and selling out in 30 minutes because otherwise I would have gotten an email notification of it being back in stock. I'm definitely losing hope of getting one and really hope they revert to more "classic" BPs or make future accessory packs more available.
  17. If there's no better options another idea is one of the microfighters: one choice between Delta 7, Delta 7B or ETA-2 with a jedi of your choice that is not named Anakin or Obi-Wan, but it could make the wishwave a bit prequel-centered :D
  18. Oh, the Fanblade, I forgot about that one and it's been a while since we saw a Ventress minifig (which I'd love to get in a non-TCW/2003 style), nice pick.
  19. I do hope for a new B-Wing if they decide to go ROTJ, but I also hope they return to more traditional BPs (yes, even with the inflated price) than making more of the Lego exclusive and perennially-out-of-stock-where-I-live blister/accessory packs. I'll throw you a curveball: a V-19 Torrent but for the price-range of max 50$, similar to the last X-wing and Slave I.
  20. I don't know about the US situation regarding this set, nor about any possibility of a silent retirement/halted production, but on this side of the Atlantic it seems to be in stock in most of the countries. Then of course there's Italy, where it has been out of stock since March 3rd and I've been uselessly checking daily since then both for an email notification and on s@h for it to come back, so I'm still a bit bitter :D
  21. Plot twist: we finally get a SW CMF, but it's the party outfits from the various specials :D (I partial to both Kenobis we see in the trailer, they give me quite the Auralnauts vibe)
  22. I think I NEED that AT-TE :D It has it's flaws, I don't like the price (not unreasonable, maybe, but I still wish it was 20€ less) and I'll definitely wait till October, hoping for the annual "everything 25% off" discount my local store has before getting it, but nonetheless I need it to join my GAR shelf. On the other hand the Justifier does nothing for me. I don't hate it, I don't like it, I don't think its a waste of a slot as some other weird and extremely niche choices from LEGO in the last few years, or a set that may be good but I dislike because of the source material, it's not something I recognize as good but have no interest in such as most UCS sets, etc. It's just there, and I'm glad it's quite a lot of money I can save/spend on other things. Also, as much as I want a Cad Bane figure, I'd prefer its head to be like the previous version, ie blue with metal prints instead of metal with blue prints as this one seems to be. In other news, checking daily since march 3rd, the clone blister pack is still out of stock on the italian S@H, I'm losing hope of ever getting it, let alone two as was my initial intent. @Mark1006 I agree, love that Juggernaut and both jedi included, but the clone selection was quite sparse and one of the first things I did when I had the possibility was convert the AT-RT storing bay to a troop compartment.
  23. I was gonna pass on this set because it looked more like a 7B than a true Delta-7 and I'm still happy about my OG 2002 version, but after seeing your mod I'm really tempted to put it on the to buy list and never build the official version :D
  24. I'm a bit disappointed that -as with the AAT- it seems like Lego can't give us the right shape of a Delta-7 after the first one back in 2002. Both the 2017 version and this year's one look more like Delta-7B with the higher cockpit placement and the bulk to hide the astromech's body, and the unexpected price raise from 30 to 35 € after it was announced puts the new one straight in the "maybe at a discount" pile. Same goes for the Andor mini-gunship/carrier, I kind of like the design but again 80€ seems quite steep as a price, I'll have to wait for some in-hand reviews to pop up before considering it. Also while it thematically fits the period and possible imperial aesthetic, it's another LBG bulky box. I know it's not TLG's fault, but I would love for some other color to appear sometimes, I "had to" buy some Vidyo sets just to build something more colorful lately :D
