I've been looking at these since Ikea released them... But as you said they aren't cheap, and not that big either. But they look good!

Boost your productivity with the Ingenix A.R.M. pod! - Grab and manipulate large rocks with the heavy duty mechanical claw. - Extract minerals quickly with the dual high pressure drills. - Light your way through the darkest places with the ten high intensity headlights. - Work with precision in any direction with the exclusive 3D-Ring™ technology. Finally built it! I designed that pod and rotating frame last year, for Eurobrick's stand at Brickworld Chicago 2015. I also used that frame to design a fighter and a racing ship. LDD file available on my website.

Eurobricks' member mortesv created a few years ago one of the most beautiful Nebulon B medical frigate "Redemption". After months of hard work he now presents his Redemption in a new and improved version, full of incredible details.

[MOC] Light Armored Squid Attack Fighter

I'll most probably never work for TLG But even if I do, I'm not sure I would stop building like I do. Just don't expect that sort of builds in my official sets -

Blacktron used trans-red, but not as canopies : That's what Lego is all about: do what you want

LEGO Star Wars 2016 Pictures and Rumors
Bob De Quatre replied to Brickdoctor's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Did the First Order invaded Disneyland?? -
Thanks everyone I designed it as a "little brother" of the ARC-170, hence the name ARC-135. I wanted something starfighter-sized, with the look of a ARC-170 and close to an X-wing. So I guess that it also looks like a Headhunter

Introduction As a fan of Star Wars, the original trilogy, there are some scenes that are absolutely iconic. The final duel, on board of the Death Star two, is one of them. Luke facing both Darth Vader and the Emperor, and finally awakening the Anakin Skywalker still inside the black armor. I can still remember the emotions I felt when I first watched this scene years ago. Will this set make me feel the same things? We'll see at the end of the review! Set information Set Name: Death Star Final Duel Set Number: 75093 Number of Pieces: 724 Theme: Star Wars Year Release: 2015 Prices: £69.99 / $79.99 / €99.99 #75093 on Brickset #75093 on Rebrickable Packaging The box is pretty big and shares the Star Wars Rebels layout with all the early sets of 2015. The front shows the whole set in "play mode", completely opened and with Luke, Darth Vader and the Emperor fighting. The new Darth Vader helmet is highlighted by specific artwork in the lower left corner. The rear of the box shows all the play features of the set and has some very nice artwork. A side of the box shows the minifigures included. Lord Vader himself is the 1:1 part. Content of the box The box is quite full with the instructions booklet, 6 numbered bags and a sticker sheet. The stickers are only for two 1x2x2/3 slopes in black and the inner side of the four 4x4x5 cylinder quarter. I usually put stickers on parts when doing a review, but those stickers are so nice, that I didn't apply them on the cylinder parts. Instructions booklet The instruction booklet shows the same artwork as the front of the box. It is quite big, almost an A4 size (21cm x 29,7cm), with harder paper for the cover. The first page could make a nice poster! The instructions are easy to follow, while not on the same level as a Minecraft set. The very light blue background makes them clear and easy to read. The last double page shows sets from the wave and all the minifigures you can collect. Gotta catch 'em all! Minifigures The minifigures are the jewels of this set. We got two imperial guards, a new Luke, a new Emperor Palpatine and a new Darth Vader with his two parts new helmet. Except for Luke, everyone wears a cape in this set, meaning we got two red/dark red and two black capes. While both Luke and Palpatine got alternate faces, the back of Darth Vader's head is printed with scars. Luke is also the only minifigure in this set to get back printing, but he is also the only one not wearing a cape! A closer look at Darth Vader. I think he is really well done, with the new helmet and his awesomely printed face. He looks maybe a bit too kind, and I don't know why, but I think his head should be in light bluish grey and not white. Interesting parts The set is filled with nice bricks that give texture to the walls and bases, like the #2877 1x2 modified brick with grille. The set contains two #16577 1x8x2 raised arch, which is a new part from 2014, and not common in light bluish grey. But what may attract us to this set is the fantastic 6x6 inverted dish with handle, printed with Death Star window pattern. And we have 3 of them! And let's not forget the fantastic minifigures included that we reviewed just above. Build The first bag contains all the capes and both Luke and Vader minifigures. At the end of the first bag, we have the center part of the set, on which we'll build the emperor's throne. Note that the front of the build can extend, as seen in the pictures illustrating bag 2. There is also a small lever mechanism that I will explain later in the Play feature section of this review. The second bag's contents... .. And what we build with it. Again a play feature here: look at the lever on the side of the stairs. With the bag 3, we'll build the left side of the set The left side of the build features the collapsing bridge. The 4th bag will bring us the right side of the set... ... which will be used to make the reactor shaft. Bag 5 will complete the throne room. And with bag 6 we'll build the entrance door and frame while the second imperial guard shows up. The complete build in all its glory. Spare parts are always nice! Especially with the lower half of Vader's helmet that could be used to make a Dagobah Dark Side cave's Luke. Play features First, let's recognize that the set looks very good. I had it displayed in my living room for weeks. And my nephew kept playing with it each time he visited! Working doors are always nice, even if the mechanism could be enhanced. Vader can make Luke trip... Or Luke can do a force jump, you choose! The collapsing bridge will hurt Luke badly... ... as will the collapsing stairs! The Emperor can make a lightsaber pop-up from behind its throne. Careful when you catch it, it's lighted up! The reactor shaft can be used as trash disposal... ... or to enact emotional plot twist! Conclusion Design: 10/10 - The design is almost flawless, well deserving a 10. Parts: 9/10 - The parts selection is really nice. The windows are truly awesome! Build: 8/10 - The fold out structure and all the play features make the build very interesting and easy to store. Playability: 10/10 - We had so much fun playing with this set, there is so much to do! Minifigs: 10/10 - I couldn't want more minifigs with this set, and all of them are great. Price: 8/10 - Star Wars sets aren't cheap, especially in Europe... But at least, this set is worth the (high) price. Overall: 55/60 (92%) - This is a great set. It manages to be both great to look at and full of playability! The different areas of the set really capture the mood of the movie, and the very detailled minifigures add to the accuracy of the set. It has a lot of play features that kids love... Well if you let your kids play with it! If you are a Lego Star Wars collector, this set will have its place next to Jabba's Palace!

Nice one, again! I really like that you sculpt your animals using the "old style" bricks method while also using recent parts.

The Denon's Stallion is resistance ace pilot Kal Verlon's personal starfighter. It's a retrofitted ARC-135, equipped with an astromech droid socket and a class 1.5 hyperdrive system in place of the rear gunner cockpit. The droid usually operates the rear laser turret.

Korean as default language for Eurobricks
Bob De Quatre posted a topic in Forum Information and Help
Given the ever growing korean community here on Eurobricks, the staff has decided to slwoly turn all EB's interface default language to korean. We also encourage all members to start posting in korean, to help the newcomers feel welcome! Let's all discuss this decision and agree that the staff made the right choice, as always! -
Lately, Eurobricks welcomes more and more Korean users. And the staff heard their complaints about the English only interface that makes the website difficult for them to use. That's why starting today, all Eurobricks will be slowly translated in Korean and Korean will be the new default language. We also encourage our dear members to post in Korean to show their support to our new friends! Come discuss and agree to this decision in the dedicated topic.
