Hi as many other "OT lovers and PT acceptors" stated, this will be a cheap wave for me. I already have the Death Star, so even the DS battlepack has halve of the value for me. The gunners are great, but like in the movies you do not need to army build them. Its the same with the guards, why having 10 of them, if even in the famous "emperor arrives scene" are only six 6! in total of them. So my DS and two BPs ;) I might get Ani and his new fighter. I passed on the last (but have the fig) and have been in the dark ages since the others have been available. The new one looks good and have a unique fig. This wave is made to save money for the UCSs ;) Dino

Hi why did you worry about the now missing mast rigging in bley? They will put in instead ten of the printed radar dishes from the 10179 :D Dino

Hi he is talking anout the light blueish grey boat masts. Those parts are very very rare and used to cover the back enginge part of the UCS Millenium Falcon. People paying about 100€$£ each, and they need two zo BL a 10179. Dino

Hi thank you for sharing your MF MOC. I never get tired seeing MF MOCs. Unfortunately there are not many out there (compared to the iconic level of that ship). I think too many are too shy to post their MOCs or even not motivated to start one because there are many good to perfect Lego sets. I like the idea of mixing "system scale" with "UCS details". Regarding the MF colors. The best would be to mix old and new greys. Sometimes randomly, sometimes with pattern. Dino

Hi What are those rumors based of? I only accept something as a rumor that have at least some background, a leaked image or a statement from a person that is known for reliqble news. If we just "hope" a new set will come out or it have just some kind of logic like "it is 5 years ago we had the last time this set..." it is still no rumor. So i would ask you kindly (just if you know) the source of those rumors. AT AT, UCS S1, Vaders TIE. I love to know becaus ALL are on my "hope" wishlist. Dino

Hi that is very cool, even i do not like AT TEs. I expected some funny wobbly "walking" as the AT AT UCS "stumbler". Hey, but your looks realy good. I mean how it walk? Machine-like, plus with good (the right) speed that i easily can imagine how a real life size thing would walk. Dino

Hi cool! To get the Undertaker: Take the black hat you already have, use a black suited torso and black legs. Plus a black cape and grey head from the Emperor Darth Sidious. :) Put additional two 1x1 black bricks under the legs, to make him taler. Paul Bearer is also very simple: All black suite, a scary white head from Monster Fighter plus black kids legs. Dino

Hi woohoo! Thats cool! Harmonica: And Frank? Snaky: Frank sent us. Harmonica: Did you bring a horse for me? Snaky: Well... looks like we're... [snickers] Snaky: ...looks like we're shy one horse. Harmonica: You brought two too many. ;) Dino

Hi just in a local toy store. A store that is famous to have all Lego sets for MRSP, but not today :D Dino

Hi got the actual TIE (my second) for 25€ and the Gungan Sub for 35€. That is for both 50% off! Dino

Hi that is a creative use of mostly unused 2x2 bricks. There is only one minor fault: Rainbows are always outside red and inside blue/violet. You photography showed this the other way around. Maybe treasures are only found under rainbows you had... ;) Dino

Hi for me, as OT fan and beind tolerant to the PT that wave does not have much for me. Too many clones in too many variations. That makes them hard to armybuild. The only PT set that i would get is the fighter of Anakin (i dont have it yet). But only on sale, it just contains the 20th R2 and the 5th movie Ani.... So most of the sets are TCW? Dino

Hi minifigs for an UCS Slave 1 realy depends on its scale. There are two possibilities: They still use the actual canopy (like Anio did) which limits the total size of the whole thing. Its not going bigger then than the actual S1, it is just more detailed (like Anios UCS S1 is). Second thing would be a brick-build, larger canopy, e.g. the UCS MF has. But this thing would be HUGE AND EXPENSIVE, no popular 200€$£ thing with ~1500 parts (Anio again) but a 3000+ thing, worth 500€$£.... The later, bigger brick build canopy version do not needs to have a single fig at all (similar to the actual UCS X, not counting the droid). Seeing how we all and Lego too likes SW figs, a smaller "Anio-styled" UCS S1 seems to have more chances than an "out of any scale version like the actual B Wing. Has this been popular? No.... Dino

Hi good, very good :) No need to buy an expired and totally overpriced AT AT now. I still hope it will be once again minifig-scale/minifig-compatible. Dino

Hi even when it "fails" for Sariel its still a great MOC. There is a german spellword that fits perfectly here: Who is not trying will not fail... And only who fails will learn ;) So it is STILL a good MOC ;) Dino

Hi maybe it is just me but was not Legos intention with Cuusoo was to get "new ideas for never seen sets and themes"? This mech (any mech) is in my eyes just a Bionicle or Hero Factory "fig" with a minifig in it. Yes this is highly detailed but we have seen better or more detailed mechs as MOCs in the past. Second note: If it should be a playable mech it will be even more like a Bionicle. Sure high grebeled models are not "swooshable". Dino

Hi being the administrator for another 1.4 million post forum i can tell you what it needs to be a good moderator. First, and most important, your conscience should be strong. You do as moderator many things that follow rules but feeling that the rules are right and to work with them in reality, that is different. This is not only to force others to follow the rules (sometimes that HAVE to be the way) but the more it is to make the members understand WHY you close/move/edit/whatever a topic or post. I have closed my life more topics than it need to get a grad duke here ;) But i always wanted users (not bots) to understand why this happened. You do not become a moderator (you GET the title, yes), you ARE a moderator. That is why i never ever taken somebody as moderator who was asking for, *I* was the person who was asking for. What get moderator back? Some comercial forums have paid moderators, many have moderators that just -work- because they like to. You got the respect you deserve and! you keep your loving forum clean, readable, futurproove and friendly! You work for your hooby, it is just like sorting Lego after moccing ;) Thanks by the way to the EB staff, they do a great job! Dino

Hi i allways loved the Y-Wing, much more than X, A or B. I found the actual Y-Wing too expensive, 50€ and just at TRU and S@H. I got from the latest TRU coupons 20% off a Lego set and i got for 50€ 66411 Superpack A good deal! Dino

Hi this A-Wing has to be the fastest ever because it has 4,5 Volts :) Nice unique idea! Dino

Hi this can not be a Porsche problem, two other non-Porsche instructions have been pulled as well. Would be nice if we get details what went wrong. Not details that are individual for Paul but those that can prevent other instruction sellers to be pulled as well. There is a Lego ambasador selling famous SW instructions ;) Dino

Hi Heppeng is right. They pulled your instructions because you used that 'Lego' with your product description. You are NOT selling LEGO instructions, you are selling 'Boratko Instructions' can be used with Lego Bricks. See the difference? Your product (the instructions) pretend while using the Lego brand name to be originals from Lego. But they are FOR Lego. Many eBay sellers in Germany add to their auctions so,ething similar like "All brands belongs to their owner blabla...". That mistake you did is mixing up a product description (For Lego bricks) with a brand name (Lego). I am sorry for you they did that. Pleople like you causing Lego to have MORE profit - not less. Lawyers.... Dino

Hi well, if you think that is a good idea, you should start for yourself. Otherwise that will be a empty topic with no content. Those are going to be closed very fast. Dino

Hi how do you differ regular (white) TCW clones from EP II and EP III clones? Is it just the head/face? Since i have the blue Lieutenant and the olive green one i want to have regular whites, but allways movie figures. Images that showing the differences are nice ;) Recommendig set where to get them in volumes is highly appreciated. Dino

Hi no, i am in Germany. Ss far as i know it has been never that discounted in DE, but often in FR, ES and IT. But i do not care, i spent just 5-6 € shipping on that. No big deal spending that few €uros on a 300€ item. So within the EU i can get those sets where they are discounted ;) Dino

Hi this topic should not be a a "which set should i buy?". I have seen the 10221 not only for today heavily discounted at Amazon. Actual Amazon.fr is seling it for 299€ instead of 419€ MRSP, Italy and Dpain did the same in the past few months/weeks. I wonder if this a EOL sign or what? Do you think this is the time for colectors and maybe resellers? I like the idea using (unpacking, playing with) the set but still being able (after years) to sell it for the initial price. I have read the review here (a funny one) that pointed up only two (but major) disadvantages. The flat bottom and the price. Hey, i can live with that bottom, i would display it this way that you se the top. What are you thinking about the price? Anyone herre that have this just to resell it? Dino
