Thank you! I personally wanted to make a Noghri figure with a Doomsday head, but the expression is way too crazy; nevertheless, I think it's the best that we've got

*Your entry has earned 11 XP (S:5, T:3, A:3) + 4 bonus XP for a total of 15XP Pavo Prime was one of the earliest planets to join the Galactic Republic, and its population was considered to be one of the most loyal to the Imperial cause. Although it wasn't that what's called a waterworld, it was partially covered with seas, which housed lots of different kinds of fish. To protect the seas, the Imperial Navy (yes, the Galactic Empire has got a Navy) deployed ships patrolling on the surface, the flagship being the gorgeous Galactic Empire battleship. The Galactic Empire was the perfect watercraft in this world, where blasters are the primary weapon. It was heavily armed with three 3-barreled turbolaser turrets, 6 minor blaster turrets and protected by a powerful shield capable of withstanding any orbital bombardment. Right now, it was evening. It was the end of the first day of the battleship's new commander - the mysterious Commissar Rax. No one knew where he came from. He just came on board on his Lambda shuttle, had a little talk with the ship's then-commander and had him arrested, using listening devices to expose him to the crew as a traitor, who was planning to order the local garrison to surrender to the New Republic. Everyone heard the commander's words, and there was no doubt the accusations were valid; the trial was set for tomorrow morning. Gloating his victory, the successful Commissar Rax was moving his stuff to his new commander's headquarters. - I see you've got lots of interesting stuff here, sir, - Captain Kuzy said, looking into the Commissar's boxes, - here are some state symbols... - Please be careful with those computers, TK!.. Yeah, there are, and they include a state flag, two golden crests and even a 501st legion sdandard! How cool is that? And please call me Comrade the Political Director, - the Commissar answered. - Understood, Comrade the Political Director - Kuzy answered, wondering where the weirdo could possibly get the 501st standard, - and these plants are?.. - Just plants. Never mind. - And what's in that box? An ancient Sith helmet, some books and... - Be careful with these! They are ancient Sith manuscripts! I rescued them from the Imperial library before Coruscant fell to the Rebellion. Oh, and that's a Sith holocron. Beautiful, isn't it? - the Commissar showed the holocron to his new subordinates. - How can you use this thing, Comrade the Political Director? - Commander Grosh asked, - Are you?.. - No, sadly I am not - the Commissar replied, - but don't worry, the Sith will return. Someday... - Sorry for the question, Comrade the Political Director, - the stormtrooper asked, - but are you really such a Sith supporter? - I'm more than just that, - Rax said sinisterly, - I'm a real fossil, yet flesh-and-bone Sith Cultist! Under my command, the old Empire will survive at least on this planet... Until someone worthy of talking the Emperor's place shows up! All right, thanks for your help, comrades! Make sure to sleep well, because tomorrow morning, we have a lot of work to do! He-he...

Thanks! Indeed, that's where the inspiration came from. My first freebuild wil come soon!

Cool blasters! Sadly, 4 blaster types Lego provides isn't quite enough. I got it on my own experience

Hello! I would like to join the Dark Side team with my character - the mysterious Commissar Rax. (the guy in the peaked cap, trenchcoat and with a Mandalorian Beskad sword; the one in the background is an Imperial air force pilot)

Thanks! Sadly, I don't have a enough tiles. And if I had, they would all go for my TIE bomber project. Thank you! I'll make a separate photo of the Kalikori and post it here

Edit: added Kalikori and holographic table photos I felt sad and disappointed today, so I decided to build a little vignette to cheer myself up. Thrawn's office features holographic works of art, Ysalamiri trees and some artifacts behind glass (the Kalikori is on the far left). Hope you like it! The Kalikori couldn't be seen on the previous photo, so I took a separate picture of Thrawn showing it to Pellaeon: Here's also Thrawn's holographic table I made a while ago (when Thrawn still didn't have boots):

This makes sense, since SO many parts would have been needed to build all those little masterpieces at one time.

Have you ever thought about recreating ROTJ as a stop-motion brickfilm? Your MOCs are formidable and deserve to be animated

Thanks!

IMHO, the Penguin redesign is nice too. The fact that TLG almost stopped producing sets based on comics says quite a lot to me...

This is an awesome build! I like it a lot

I wonder if TLG will make sets based on TNBA. Although it is not as popular as BTAS, it's still its spiritual successor and has got lots of interesting designs and characters (screw the black-eyed Joker and leotard Ridder!), which, IMHO, deserve to be recreated in Lego form

Yes, this is awesome. The build captures the shape of the X-wing almost perfectly. Great job!

Splendid! Such a faithful little build. This proves a skilled builder can recreate anything even in a very small scale

Thanks!

Thank you very much! My mistake, I meant that when people drive on the right, the driver sits on the left. Here, the driver is weirdly enough sitting on the right - despite the right-sided movement in America: Why would he do that? - Maybe... Because he's Batman?!

Thank you very much!

Edit: I redesigned the MOC, adding opening side brakes Yesterday I discovered the perfect Batmobile of my dream from Alex Ross's 2005 Justice comic and decided to recreate it out of Lego! Initially I wanted the front wheels to have a steering mechanism, designed by myself, but, sadly, there wasn't enough space for it... Anyway, here is the finished model: The cabin fits two minifigures. As the original, the MOC has a lot of displays and instrument panels inside: The original Batmobile from the comic used opening side brakes to create aerodynamic drag, which were absent on the initial model. Now this mistake is corrected: Hope you liked my little build!

Thank you very much! I appreciate your compliment. You did an amazing job with your TIE Defender!

Very beautiful MOC! Love it

This is a very faithful recreation of basically my favourite scene from the movie. You did an awesome job

Awesome! I like it, even though it's not minifigure scale. It's beautiful

This is my pride and joy - a model of the Red Star TIE Defender from Legends. The finished MOC is very different from what it was like initially - "I made a lot of special modifications myself!" The build is solid enough to be carried around and even played with (but REALLY carefully). Two cockpit interior views: Thank you for watching! I hope you enjoyed it!

I am just so sorry, but, to be honest, I don't understand the need for this topic at all. Here is my point: yes, some new sets may be downgraded relatively to previous ones (2021 TIE and X-wing vs 2018 ones), but this doesn't mean Star Wars is fading in general. Just compare the number and quality of 1999 Star Wars sets with those of 2023. Yes, playsets aren't accurate replicas of originals, but: 1) They aren't supposed to be accurate - they are just "a child's playthings"; 2) They are far more accurate than they possibly could be in 2001, for example Yes, there are AFOLs, who are interested in accuracy, and TLG are aware of them. But, no offense, they are a minority, as even many adults are quite satisfied with sets' quality. Those who aren't have 3 options: 1) Purchase replicas of high-quality MOCs; 2) Purchase instructions for high-quality MOCs and build them using parts they have; 3) My favourite - create something of their own. It's it the main joy of Lego creativity? All above is just my humble opinion. I didn't intend to hurt anyone's feelings. And yes, I wish Lego sets were of higher quality. But, sadly, we're not their target group...
