Awesome to see you here!! Droids look great, especially C-3PO. BB is cool too, Jamie

Wow, good luck with your search. Hope you find some deals and can finish this model too. Jamie

Ouch, where are you located?? I'll have to see how this comes out in the US after instructions are released. If this is close to your estimate, I may/ will have to reconsider. I'm hoping for about $600 tops. Smart not taking advise from me. I wouldn't! Jamie

Buy here a pair of shoes and lie about how much you spent. You got the pieces on "sale". Let us know how it turns out! Jamie PS, don't take advise from me!!

I normally don't get involved with the prices comparisons. But, a couple of things I haven't seen in this thread. 1) When comparing piece counts, remember that a baseplate costs more than a 1x1 round plate. If 2 sets, both identical piece counts. But, one has a lot small parts and the other has lots of large plates and baseplates, which do you think will cost more? The one that has more plastic, not parts or pieces! 2) Not all of the pricing is Lego's fault. Think about your countries taxes and what they have to pay in tariffs on those imports. 3) Most Lego pieces are made with ABS plastic, for now. ABS is made with petroleum! I can't find the exact quote right now. But, I remember reading somewhere, 1 KG of ABS takes a total of approx. 2 KG or petroleum and natural gas to produce, or something to that affect. Hopefully someone will have better luck than me. The numbers maybe off a little, but, close! 4) Copied from Wikipedia: "While the cost of producing ABS is roughly twice the cost of producing polystyrene." Again, ABS is almost twice as much as other plastics. Megabloks uses polystyrene, or used to. Not sure if this still holds true! I read they changed there plastic and improved their QC? 5) Lego is trying to move away from ABS by 2030. They are experimenting with a corn based plastic. Some of the current costs on Lego is being spent on R&D for those new plastics. Just a few things to consider when talking about prices! Believe me, there are reason why things costs what they do!! Also, I maybe wrong on some of this. This is just what I could find in about 10 minutes of reading. I'm not a chemist. Jamie

Well than, you nailed it!! Good job!! He looks like something my kids would want to cuddle with, cat, dog, Ackley, teddy bear. There all the same. Jamie

I really wish these magazines were available in the US. I plan on getting these. Nice MOD. I like the use of the ball joint, not sure about the eye pieces. They make him look cartoon-ish. Not fierce and terrifying. Now, try a Reek and Nexu. Jamie

Thanks! Jamie

Not mine, I used google! But, it looks like you can print your own from this. You might have some trial and error for the size, but, this will get you going! Should be about 9.5 centimeters or 3 3/4 inches. Or: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-Star-Wars-7191-X-Wing-UCS-replacement-sticker-/152002410238?hash=item23640cb6fe:g:4eUAAOSwbwlXAVca Jamie

Awesome. I've tried my hand at making this ship in the past, but, never got it to look right. Good job. I would love to see some details of the inside of the ship. The skeleton of it. Thanks for sharing, Jamie

Take your time. Give me longer to figure out how to hide this from my wife!! But, seriously, thanks for your hard work. Jamie

With Marvel putting X-Men and F4 on the back burner. I would be surprised to see another set with them in it. Dr. Doom is main F4 villain and was in a Spider-Man set in 2013. Unless Fox gives up the rights to them. We may not see another set along those lines. With X-Men, we only got 2 sets with them in it, and those were in 2012 and 2014. It's a shame too with alot of characters to be had. But, I would love a Galactus figure along the lines of Giant-Man, with a Fantasticar and BigFig Thing, Mr. Fantastic with long legs and arms, Human Torch, and Sue Storm. While having those to transparent won't happen, I'd take solid figures of them. Jamie

All they would have to do it make the claw piece in tan or dark tan?! Jamie

I would be worried this is a custom someone is passing off as a prototype. I'm not familiar with the site your talking about, never been there, or heard of it before. Jamie

Because of you my bank account will be at zero and my wife is going to be mad. Thanks!! But, seriously, I can't wait! Thanks for the updates. Jamie

Is that June 1st date still looking good?! I will be one of the first to buy them, but, probably won't have time to build till fall. Keep us updated! Thanks, Jamie

Wow! I haven't saw that movie in years!! Great build. Very creepy feel. Clive Barker would be proud. Jamie

Awesome!! I love how you "used" 497, Galaxy Explorer as the cockpit. Now use, 6980, Galaxy Commander! That was one of my first sets as a kid. Jamie

Awesome, as soon as instructions hit the internet, I'm hitting Bricklink. Doesn't look too hard to manage. Jamie

I'm really liking your Hammerhead and Sundered Heart, I may have to look into building them. Thanks for the LDD files. Jamie

I can't say anything that hasn't been said already! It is a beautiful model!! I would love to add this to collection. Do you have an ETA for the instructions? Who is doing them? Do you have a pieces count for the model? Thanks, Jamie

Wish these were available over here in the US. I'm spend an arm and a leg to get these over here from across the pond! Jamie

Hooray for KoreaBricks!! Finally, just what we have been asking for, thanks for listening. I never liked Eurobricks anyways. Have a good, first of April. Jamie

Looks good. I was going to do this, but, ran into a good deal on for a real one. This was what i was going to do. I had a LDD file for it too. Jamie
