I have had several of those since May last year. They were giving them away at ToysRus with every purchase above 25 EUR of SW sets. They are great against the MF. I even did a MOD of it. After turning the wings of 90�, we have a nice mini TIE crawler. I forgot, with LDD, you don't have the right colours...

Count me in!

I've been putting together my old sets and unfortunately the stickers didn't age too well. Is there any database with scans of all the stickers ever made by LEGO? I asked LEGO directly but it seems they do not have it (cfr Portuguese customer services), but I kinda doubt that... Right now, I'm looking for a good scan of the castle 375 (or 6075) stickers sheet. Anybody has one or knows where to get one? Thanks

Extremely nice MOC. LEGO could get inspired for a set to be. The walls look fragile though. Aren’t they? Did you use this kind of piece to do them? For the yeti, there is this only set: It is on BrickLink for cheap.

Indeed...

I was not talking about the looks, of course the rebels have got to have nicer looking ships

I've built the Y-Wing and the Imperial Landing Craft (7659) more or less at the same time and, for about the same prices, I think the Imperial Landing Craft (ILC) is much superior to the Y-Wing. The Y-Wing doesn’t have much functionality besides an awkward dropping bomb device and a moving cannon. The missiles firing system is … your fingers. The ILC has an awesome missiles firing system (I wish I could get it individually for MOCs), a clever bomb dropping mechanism, 5 minifigures with weapons, the wings fold up together and the “cargo” can be detached as a play set. I’ve built the ILC first so I got quite disappointed with the Y-Wing.

Hello, I tried to insert 2 images from Brickshelf (2x deeplink with the "insert image" button) but I got this message: Sorry, dynamic pages in the tags are not allowed Why is that? _______________________ Nevermind, I think I got it.

Hello all, I have to confess that I registered to be able to follow the Academy course on being a LEGO reviewer. I usually post on another forum (www.plug.pt), the Portuguese LUG forum, as it is where I'm living right now. I say right now because I was born and raised in Belgium and I've lived in the USA and the UK as well. Being married and having a little family of my own now won't make me move too soon... I have loved LEGO since I was little. I owned some sets (Castel, Town, Technic, Space) in the 70th – 80th. I’m currently trying to get my old sets back as they stayed behind with all the moving I did. I entered my dark age in high school and exited it this year with the magnificent SW X-Wing. I bought the SW trilogy (4-5-6) and from now on, it seems that I have to have them all… My wallet is complaining even if I decided to get only the models of episodes 4-5-6. Unfortunately, a lot of sets are already sold out; I should have gotten out my dark age earlier. Unfortunately as well there is that awesome Death Star (10188) lurking but it is way too expensive for European customers. I was kind of stunned to see the differences between the sets I knew and the sets of today. It seems that the pieces are getting bigger and bigger. Pretty soon we won’t have anything to put together! However the are more realistic of course. Today’s horse (1 or 2 bricks) is much nicer than the one of the 80th. I despise as well the stickers. I like much more printed blocks. I do enjoy the improvement on the minifigures though. Facial expression, tons of “clothes”, accessories… The instructions manuals are much better and the list of the parts is a plus. However, the colours are not the same as the bricks’ and because there are so many different colours now, it is not always easy to know which bricks to choose (a dark grey in the manual is actually a black brick). With the years passing came the internet and the LEGO site of course. I discovered it this year as well and found it very well done. The Shop@Home section is very interesting and the LEGO Universe looks promising. I could go on but would loose my afternoon… Regards to you all and brickem bem. Christophe

Hello all, I'm using another forum so this will be my first post. I recently exited my dark age and the idea of reviewing sets is thrilling. Please count me in if there any room left.
