Interesting that they decided not to continue the main story. I wonder if they'll keep this model in future waves.

Actually I have to really thank you for that link. It made my day!

Generally I'm more of an ebook type of guy. These books sound like a good idea, until you try to build while looking at the instructions...

My favorite part is the front of the engine. I don't think I've ever seen that in an official set. Great job!

Nice rendition of the octan theme. Reminds of the ships in The Lego Movie.

Very interesting. When you say controlled, do you mean closed loop? Wow! Those are awesome too!

Yeah, it's a shame, really. Such a powerful empire must have more competent imperials! I can't even believe stormtroopers are their infantry.

OK, now I'm confused...

For that kind of instructions I usually look at a Youtube video in which someone goes over the instructions.

Interesting, any particular reason that you decided to give Bob short sleeves?

Thanks for all the tips!

Perhaps I don't notice this because usually the review sets I don't have yet, but do they really make mistakes most of the time?

Sorry to resurrect this 5 year old thread, but I just wanted to point out the hilarity that a lot of these links still work, meaning after all these years people are still trying to sell these.

Just wanted to say that after years of time and effort I finally hit 1000!

Yeah, they do have a pretty bad history of running out of stock too early. Are there really that many of us?

I remember that glorious day in 2011 when it was announced both Marvel and DC licenses for Lego. It was my greatest Lego dream come true (although still a lot of the minifigs I want to see in Lego form haven't been made, looking at you FF and X-men). However, there were a lot of things I didn't understand about how things went down, and I have never been able to find much by researching into this. My understanding is that, initially, Lego had the license for Spider-man and Spider-man 2. How did they lose the license against the-brand-which-must-not-be-named for Spider-man 3? Was it because they wanted to pick up Batman? Or did they pick up Batman because they lost the Spider-man license? Why was the Batman theme discontinued in 2008? Did they lose the license for that? Then, what was the catalyst for Lego deciding to go for both of the licenses in 2011? How did they steal the Marvel license away from the-brand-which-must-not-be-named? How did they manage to get both Marvel and DC to be OK with Lego making toys for both under the "Super Heroes" theme? Finally, can we expect Lego to keep these licenses for many years to come, and never lose either to the-brand-which-must-not-be-named? It's funny, on the other side of this story, fans from the-brand-which-must-not-be-named regret the day that Lego got the Marvel license back, and dream of Lego losing the license again. My hope is that Lego's superior quality and status as the #1 toy maker in the world will allow them to keep both licenses for many years to come. 2011 was an incredible year for Lego. They managed to get licenses for Marvel, DC, and Lord of the Rings / The Hobbit, which they added to their already existing Star Wars line! Clearly they started being more aggressive in their search for licenses, and luckily to this day it looks like they're succeeding. I'm curious to learn what brought this newfound competitiveness to Lego, especially when a little more than a decade before they made almost no licensed sets.

That scoop works perfectly and it looks great. I'm amazed by the sheer size of your MOC. Wow, great work!

Wow, that is impressive.

I think it will sell really well, both for people looking just for the figures, and for the kids that want to play with it the way you described. I might make this a day one purchase. And I agree with Red She-Hulk. I doubt she really took the spot of a better known character in the set. The only other thing I could think they could've included is Bruce Banner and General Ross, which are long overdue, but arguably they wouldn't fit the set as well as her.

Harry Potter's new hair / the S1 skateboarder's hair work really well in teenagers. In fact that's exactly how my hair used to look like when I was young.

Hi! We have a topic for that. Those sound like great sets, though!

Well, if it was a wider sale, it might not just be a thing of abundance of police sets. Was it a city sale?

Forgot about that. You just broke their dreams! I had already gotten them tickets.

So does Lego produce parts specifically for that? I thought they were just spare parts from production sets.

Hmmm, OK, thanks for all of the info. Hoping my local Lego store doesn't run out of these. I'd love to have 2!
