    I remember that turrets were removed from the Y Wing in A New Hope as there was issues with the computer editing for that movie

    Is the grass piece behind the elephant new as the base looks taller?

    On page 4, still under coming soon https://www.lego.com/en-au/product/wildlife-rescue-off-roader-60301 https://www.lego.com/en-au/product/wildlife-rescue-atv-60300 https://www.lego.com/en-au/product/seaside-police-and-fire-mission-60308 https://www.lego.com/en-au/product/wildlife-rescue-camp-60307 Only three wildlife sets are there

    The wildlife rescue and police city sets are now up on S@H Australia. They were there yesterday too but EB wasn't working at the time.

    I think filling out the vehicle shouldn't be a concern as it is UCS scale, though the argument applies to many other system sets. Although it is iconic across three different sources, it was said in the vote that it would be an AOTC set so while a set could have Cody and still a be a great if not better set, it was predetermined not to be so. I think that there is a reason not to include Cody or any other unique figure, from a marketing perspective, especially with a less iconic prequel set. With UCS sets, there is likely a desire to attract adult buyers who aren't necessarily AFOLs. This is probably heightened since shows like Lego Masters many countries have normalised Lego as an adult-friendly display piece or artistic medium. However, for an adult to want to buy a Lego set and display it, they want it to be iconic or relatable, for them to recognise the set. Hence a generic-ish clone and Mace Windu provide that feature of the set for the audience to recognise and want the set, especially since Mace Windu is featured heavily in the gunship in AOTC, the Clone Wars and ROTS. While Cody was clearly right next to a gunship in a few scenes, audiences may not make the association as easily. I do wonder, and this is clutching to straws, since Mace Windu is associated with the vehicle in Ep III, could it be an ROTS set as Cody could easily be misconstrued as 'clone captain', depending on how the leak has been provided or who from.

    Welcome aboard to Factions (and, I am assuming, the CorSec faction). That looks good, great work on the wall and road sections, and the positioning of the figures and barrels is great, I suggest moving this to the active factions forum, Nar Eubrikka sub-forum is an archive from the SoNE game. As for title I would recommend adding [M11-Corellia-CS] (or whichever faction you may have joined: CS is CorSec, TT is Triumvirate, CFS is Confederacy of Independent systems and so on) as a prefix, so it can be judged best and so you can score XP.

    The best brick: the newer bricks, with whatever function or shape, that I don't have yet, that I see others using in clever and practical ways!! The best element I do have is probably the masonry brick. Instantaneously they make any build look more realistic, or provide texture and difference to what are otherwise plain surfaces. Also, the new leaf/foliage pieces I find very useful.

    I would really like to see part 93061 come in any set in any theme in tan, as it would be perfect for a battle droid arm that could, when position the wrong way around, hold a blaster in a more realistic position

    As someone who has comparatively lesser interest in a Cody figure, it is somewhat frustrating to the point of humorousness how we have had several Utapau sets, with all of the other Utapau incarnations of the P2 clone, 2 different CW P1 Codys, a buildable version, yet never the popular character as a minifigure that appeared a film
  10. Stuartn
    That is an incredible build. The overall detail is fantastic. The crates in the last image positioned to look like Yoda are a nice touch, I am assuming it was intentional. I really like the shaping of the semicircular cut-out in the platform and the vertical angles of the buildings are very well done.

    As it was advertised to be an AOTC set when the vote was conducted P2 Cody was probably unlikely from the outset. The reason P2 Cody was mainly prophesied was because MandR used it as graphics for a video, and it was taken to be a rumour. I think the bigger issue is why wasn’t there a P1 pilot which is desperately due for a remake and I’d assume many people could have confidently expected and presumably voted for. And as already said, it is worse that P2 Cody did not appear in overpriced system sets like the Grievous Starfighter when the already perfectly acceptable airborne trooper was redesigned.

    I wonder if Kaminoan figures could use the friends figure with a new head piece
  13. Stuartn
    They are great set ideas, and the city line is definitely overdue for a roller or any roadwork vehicle, and I'd especially like a grader I'd like to have a set with multiple of these ideas in one, perhaps: A roadwork set with a tip-truck, a road profiler/road mill, a road roller and a road paver, with an assortment of roadwork signs and barriers. Construction site with a tower crane, a modularised building, low loader, concrete mixer, and a glass carrying ute. There is an assortment of barriers and a bucket which can carry concrete from the mixer to the top of the building. Demolition site with a demolishable building, a bulldozer, an excavator and a tip/truck

    I think a 45 degree curve, which has studs on the bottom that allow it to remain in line with baseplates, and the studs on top also in line with straight plates, but angled off like any wedge plate at the join to give the curve option.
  15. Stuartn
    That looks good. I suggest you alter the title to [Factions EpVIII - Cat ?][(sector)-Kalist VI-TT], so it can be judged best, but it looks like a good build nonetheless.
  16. Stuartn
    Perhaps attaching a 1x1 plate with clip to the underside of the part 62885 or part 61190 could make the gun

    I just built 75301 today, its a great set in my opinion
  18. Stuartn
    I anticipate that the tan helicopter piece will be very popular with military builders. The vehicles looks nice enough and the moulds for the new animals are excellent.
  19. Stuartn
    Ahh, what? Maybe they're putting the 501st figures in hotel quarantine and they escaped through the air conditioning. The mortar trooper looks good in my opinion, I am going to see how much they are before I decide if or how many I get, I would love to get enough to MOD it into a proper ITT with an appropriate number of stormtroopers, and if I can find these on sale somewhere it would be good.

    Thank you for your response, it is certainly a great build, your nebulon-B design is magnificient too, as are the other rebel vehicles that come with it. It seems to be one of those strange things Lego do from time to time
  21. Stuartn
    That looks great, I especially like the design of the gun emplacement and all the figures and little details are great. The colour choice is well selected too and the building and platform are extremely well designed
  22. Stuartn
    That is a great ship. I just have two questions. Firstly, is it to scale with 77904 nebulon-B and not including the instructions, how much would it cost to build?
  23. Stuartn
    That looks incredible. You've captured a lot of the angles and details nicely, and it looks great alongside your other microscale MOCs. Do you plan on building the RO/OT version in real bricks as well?
  24. Stuartn
    That looks great, you've done the curves very well and very good colour choices too.
  25. Stuartn
    They did that in 2011 with 7913 and 7869. It seems the BARC is a vehicle TLG don't put much effort into.
