    Very nicely done, there is great detail all around and the ladder on the rear is superbly done. I really like the detail on the bogies as well

    A mod or regulator would be better to answer, but for your specific question I would say either is fine, many members will update the first post of an existing WIP topic, by editing and adding new pictures, as well as editing the title to say complete (or something of the like), as well as adding a reply describing topic changes at the end to bump the topic to the first page. Many builders, especially when larger projects are involved would create a fresh discussion, I think it would depend on the circumstances, such as length of the WIP post and whether the completed MOC would images get buried in other discussion.

    This part: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?G=64776#T=S&O={"iconly":0} It and chain elements are reportedly the most expensive moulds.

    I think they mean leave the LA as it was, but rather than use the gears, instead use this piece, attaching it to the rear of the linear actuator https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=62520c01#T=S&O={"iconly":0}

    Brilliant work, the detail all over is superb, I really like the texture on the house and barn wall and all of the vegetation and crop details are magnificent All of the wrecked and abandoned vehicles and equipment in the last photographs are a a very nice detail. All of the worn down tracks and roads are very realistically done.

    Most AFOLs aren’t overly rich, of course you have to have excess money to afford unnecessary construction toys to display on your shelf, but not everyone can dispense several thousand dollars for a set. When scalpers sell sets for multiple times their worth, they price many out of the market, this is especially unethical when recently they often buy up large quantities of sets. There is nothing wrong with keeping sets as an investment (hence the modulars and GWPs unopened upstairs in my house) but such massive overpricing isn’t ethical and the people who cannot afford these sets have a right to be frustrated. Of course, we don’t need to buy said sets, but it is frustrating nonetheless.

    Great work @HUWI, brilliant trucks, the tow trucks in particular we’re spectacular and I really like the road train

    I think they are keeping the name as a collective term for non-licensed, non-ideas 18+ sets, but they just aren't marketing them as such. I would assume Friends and Ninjago are probably 6 and 7, but Ideas should definitely be growing. It doesn't have the volume of products like other themes, but individual set sizes and prices seem to be on the incline, as does popularity.

    I don't seem to have the option to do that (unless I just haven't found it yet). The only difference I noted is that the triangle background is pink coloured rather than grey. I just have the 'edit profile' button.

    Sounds similar to this one released a few years ago: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=171757

    ATST has been confirmed as a non 18+ set, the issue was corrected by Promonricks who had the original description wrong, the price is also lower. It has also been confirmed it will be the Hoth version of the ATST, which has some significant differences compared to the more prominent ROTJ version, which are taller legs and a slopes cockpit

    Its. . . beautiful. The only inaccuracy is the British flag on the bow, it should be a blue ensign on the back (can't see if its included edit, it is), but that's an easy fix. The bow shaping is superb. My favourite part is the stand, subtle and understated, but still elegant and an enhancement of the set, it would look absolutely magnificent on a shelf. Maybe it is one of the first official 18+ sets really to transcend the boundary from the hobby set, to the piece of art.

    Haven't watched any of the Mandalorian yet (so maybe I am rambling on incoherently over a scene I have interpreted as incorrect), but the reason I am not too keen on the idea is that it ties into the Skywalker family again, one of Rogue One's main criticisms from film critics was that it couldn't resist including Leia, when it really was a) creepy and b) wasn't necessary. The same would apply to the hallway scene, when the galaxy is trying to be expanded, why bring it back to the same family once again? Relatively minor characters like Boba Fett are great as they provide consistency and give them more attention, but including such a major, and to that point, irrelevant, character feels forced and unnecessary.

    OMEGA 7 MOC by @GrandEmperorBinks below MOC by @GrandEmperorBinks above In order to display pictures here you will need to insert the image URL, just copying it into the post and pressing enter will insert the image. A moderator may be able to add the pictures into your post, and there is a tutorial in the EB help forum. Great fighter MOC though, it definitely has the Incom company aesthetics. Nice combination of parts from the two sets.

    He did, but they are unnamed, a link was shared on the last page. I agree it is a strange vehicle, if I am correct it never appeared in mainstream canon and has had three sets now.

    Hmmm, this wave might not be so bad after all, especially if the Yodas training is as promising as rom purée and the accessory pack is nicely done
  17. Stuartn
    This is by far my favourite sentence from this post: brilliant prioritisation! Your storage systems are most impressive and very well-organised, and it was great to see the progression of your set-up. Very jealous of your Lego-room.
  18. Stuartn
    The list is just 1HY sets, when I wrote it I thought helmets would be April release. The lightsaber would probably be with the ATAT or the Landspeeder so 2021 or May also.
  19. Stuartn
    So far there's: UCS Landspeeder Boba Fett's Palace Hoth AT ST Yoda's Training Death Star Battle Helmet 1 (AT AT Driver?) Helmet 2 (Mandalorian or Rebel Pilot) Snowtrooper BP Razor Crest MF Figure pack 1 Figure pack 2 Luke skywalker's lightsaber (GWP) Four regular system sets was what we got last year (X wing, TIE, Shuttle, and trouble on Tatooine. The three other sets are presumably another MF and a BP, and maybe a 4+ set or third MF set.

    Brilliant work, the level of detail is insane and the way you have replicated the shape of a minifigure at the larger scale is expertly done.
  21. Stuartn
    That would seem likely, especially for the DS battle, I wonder, if like the AT ST, the price point is accidentally inflated. Either way, I am glad more rumours are finally appearing, regardless of what they are. The DS battle, if it is the cell block, could have some good figures at least.
  22. Stuartn
    Seems too good to be true, I think this would be speculation, though I hope I am wrong. The only death star battles outside the OT are in TRoS, which could be an interesting set, or the space battle in RO, which could in no way achieve a $60 price point
  23. Stuartn
    I agree it is beyond a coincidence now, these are all random sets with no current significance, I am not in any way a fan of MandR (less so now) but he has to know something
  24. Stuartn
    It can go both ways, many display them that way and I think it drives that way in some material

    TLG need to keep pumping out these designs, not for AFOLs, but for children. The X wings, TIEs and snowspeeders, while monotonous, are the most iconic SW vehicles which most kids will want. The designs have to be updated or altered, either for the designs compatibility with other sets or to ensure it does not compete with other new sets, as well as to remain current design and technique-wise. Every couple of years a generation of children will grow out of Lego SW and a new generation will enter the market, and it important to have the iconic sets there to purchase for them. Where the issue for me is, is the other main retail sets, (I see the X-wing and TIE spots as a sort of necessary reduction in product availability for the above reasons). The landspeeeders, A wings, Eta 2 interceptors and other generally uniconic vehicles really should be substituted with designs we haven't seen much of, like the ARC 170, just as an example.
