  1. At first I thought the ships chasing the RCV2 could be TIE Avengers! But he lasers are the wrong color and the wings seem thinner. Still, I'm telling me there's still a chance.
  2. "I have built into it a flaw so small and so powerful they won't notice it until it's too late." That sums up my feelings about this set and where the theme is heading. Or maybe I'm just getting old and grumpy. I'd rather get 3 Jack Sparrow's floatable devices for the same price. Can we get a TIE Avenger yet, because THAT would be awesome.
  3. Absolutely relieved this Death Slice MBS design leaves me unimpressed. Unfortunately that means waiting and hoping Galen can make himself indispensable again one day. Also very surprised they didnt try to include some sort of trompe-l'oeil circular cover to hang over over the whole thing, to increase the display value and keep away space dust.
  4. Not before we get L3-37 please!
  5. At last, the UCS Wicket reveal! Pretty sure he was chubbier in the movies. Can't wait for Giant Wicket vs UCS AT-ST funny dioramas. Well, there's always K2 coming out in August, just gotta fix the eyes.
  6. CTT having the last set of wheels sticking out is very disappointing. Shame because I like the compact build, just not the price. Too bad, I really like those marines. MTT is better executed imo, and I prefer the unique CW colors. Worth getting since I don't think they'll ever make another one. UCS AT-ST suffers from the same limb thickness syndrome as the buildable B1. No amount of details can fix this for me. All in all a good year for my wallet it seems.
  7. Great, it will fit perfectly with the UCS Gunship then!
  8. Sigh, can't wait to see how small they make it. Lego: challenge accepted.
  9. Design for CTT and MTT is great, they both look like midi scale sets with interior and playable functions. 8/10 V19 will go well alongside the ARC-170 but the fuselage accuracy was probably sacrificed for sturdiness. Slave 1 seems to be a recolor of Boba's, maybe both will good together? 7/10 Spicy speeder colors burn my retinas, although the T47 shaping is slowly improving. 6/10 until we get Hoth colors without the A-Wing fins. Will get hate for this but the buildable ewok is cute.
  10. No solid leaks for the Death Star so far, looks like the LSB is doing a great job. Until we steal the plans, I was thinking they could make a half sphere exterior structure that would revolve around the interior, that way you could easily slide it around to view all the rooms and slide it back for display. The whole interior could also spin around the base. Let's send a U-Wing to Billund.
  11. This deal is getting worse all the time, and it changes every 90 days. So Lego prices conservatively because they have no say in the negociations. Tariffs are working as intended, and Lego will soon provide manufacturing jobs to US workers to produce sets with no cost markups specific to North America. No blame, just the wheels set in motion by the new administration.
  12. I'm halfway through the last block of episodes and I also feel confident we will get more Andor sets. It's just too good for Lego to ignore this show like they did during season 1. They will either smell the money or want to be associated with the hype. Maybe not full playset waves like the movies but I am counting on something more. Come on Lego, move.
  13. I'm a huge Andor fan since S1 and with more sets supposedly marketed for adults now, why not give us more locations, vehicules and characters from the show. They have already committed to the U-Wing and K-2. I still have hope.
  14. Not impressed with the buildable B1. STAP is solid but the droid proportions are off and the head is just wrong. Too many studs showing when compared to Droideka, K-2 or Chopper. Hard to believe its the best they could do. Sorry Lego, easy pass unless its on a steep discount.
  15. While far from perfect, I'm glad they chose the coat outfit because otherwise we wouldn't have the great hair/cap piece and overall it wouldn't be as interesting for this minifig. Black over white could have been a better choice. Mmm, decisions.
  16. No offense taken but your standards must be quite high if printing robes on minifigure legs is considered mediocre. Sometimes perfect is the enemy of good.
  17. I think they did the best job possible within the cost constraints, but I would like to know which costs more if they wanted to make it better, dual molding or printing the side of legs (if you had to choose only one). Printing the coat on the sides would have been awesome.
  18. The rhetoric used by people who want to normalize such things as tariffs is subtle and misleading. Canucks have been on the receiving end of it since January so sorry if we call it as we see it, we are just being honest. About this new movie with our fellow Canadian actor, it gives us the potential for new starfighter designs, I hope they really innovate. RC and Fondor are great but they are modified cargo ships, we need new frontline models.
  19. It is tariffs because this is only in North America Canada has no tariffs on Mexico or Denmark but since our Legos transit through the US we will probably be impacted as well. Going to Europe this summer, we'll leave plenty of free space in our luggage :)
  20. I had high hopes for the K-2S0 buildable figure. But in the words of the droid itself: "Your behavior, Lego, is continually unexpected."
  21. Sorry, but I was just responding to the puzzling comparison you made, especially given the poor state of the Canadian military and how hilarious the whole dispute was. I don't think the recent threats made to numerous countries are taken lightly, even if far fetched. There's a huge difference. Anyway, still not a good reason to increase Lego prices in the US.
  22. Please, comparing the Whisky War over Hans Island to a threat of invasion is disingenuous. While I don't think Lego prices will increase as a result, you have to admit it's difficult to define what is "realistic" lately.
  23. Just curious, has there ever been a minifig exclusive only to the magazine? I collect all SW sets so getting an extra fig that I already have is less desirable than getting a unique brick built vehicle or creature. Acklay is a good example. Anyway, I'm not a kid anymore...or am I?😄
  24. Incoming Crimson Firehawk according to a leaked list of set names. Credible?
  25. Well now I know I won't be buying it on day one. Picked up a few rep credits on my last visit to Batuu and fabric patches ain't Lego. Plus I'm waiting to see some decent mods to get the central landing bay integrated in the model, it's what makes the Venator so unique!
