    Even if you are making a train that won't have true rails, those rubber trains still operate in guideways where it seems, based on rub marks, that simple side-force turns the bogies. It would certainly simplify your design requirements.

    I'm just prepared to laugh if the shuttle in the movie itself has either moving or strictly vertical wings.

    Um, why have powered steering on something that runs on tracks?
  4. rollermonkey
    Have you not noticed that Driver is skinny as a rail? (Your p-chop looks great, though.!)
  5. rollermonkey
    Huh? How could someone compare a micro-build and a system scale set like that?

    Isn't that Mining Loader big? I thought those were Unimog wheels on it?
  7. rollermonkey
    That sounds awful. Even worse than I'd hoped. Back from reddit... That's better than CM4Sci's description makes them sound, but I still don't love them.

    Love it! That takes imagination to couple The Little Mermaid and sci-fi like that. Bravo, sir. Bravo.

    22 minifigs in the Geonosian Battle set? Not frickin' likely, especially since it includes SEVEN Jedi. The Endor figure list is 15, for 100? Doesn't matter if it's Euros or Pounds, not gonna happen. Total wishlist.

    Not true.

    I liked it when I first saw it in the tiny picture last night, and I like it more today with the official pictures. Some pretty incredible detailing (as always with the Modulars) but it does seem a bit small. I like that double-wide version above.

    Girl looks like she won a contest that check's so huge! I like the bank part, but the Laundromat/Apartment? I hope it looks better straight on. If it's a Chinese laundromat, it will fit the 1930's vibe just fine.

    Maybe the strongest wheeled hydraulic crane, but there are other types that are stronger. 20,000 Ton capable portal crane:

    Hydroplane racer must have wheels... It's got the engine block with pistons. Are those wheels on the mining loader what I think they are?

    I was speculating, but yeah the other thread has the set picture for him, if you move fast.

    She's standing next to Ackbar. Her hair is lighter, but we've seen her in that outfit in the Vanity Fair photoshoot, IIRC. Ughnaut looks great, but it will take three of that Freezing Chamber set to complete the circle, and have two wedges left over... WTH? Unless they have make a ring from 12 wedges? That would be weird. Boba seems to have his cape, too. Is that Cad Bane in the Rebels pack, or just another of his species? And how many speeder bikes do we need for Rebels? Kanan's plus the one in the BP plus two last January? Obi's fighter looks decent, but that Hoth set... Yikes! Who wouldn't pass on that? I don't know what that TFA set is about, but it looks decent enough. Like a cargo variant of a B-wing, or something. And Ackbar does indeed have a coffee mug!

    Ackbar is probably going to be popping up in Rebels Season 2... Seems far more likely than him being in TFA, where he'd be 30 years older. Don't know how the Mon Calamari age or how long they live, but that fig looks younger, not older.
  18. rollermonkey
    Nothing about the awesome new Rebels season 2 trailer yet?
  19. rollermonkey
    I think the poll results are fairly convincing.

    I'm sorry, but your white YT-1300 looks like it just came out of the Corellian factory. (I didn't know they still make them!) The Falcon is old and dirty and neither of the known owners were particularly gentle with her. It's an interesting experiment, but as shown above, without some grey wash to age it, it doesn't look right. Maybe if you reduce the amount of medium gray so it looks more like age and less like a striped paint job?I think that it's a perception issue: the gray makes the white look too bright and the pure white makes the gray look too dark. The tones are too dissimilar to look good.
  21. rollermonkey
    That red B-wing was apparently the prototype. New season looks like the tone is getting darker quickly, too. People passing it off as just a kid's show are gonna miss out.
  22. rollermonkey
    The falcon hasn't been white for decades, it's filthy. The X-wings got way more maintenance and cleaning than the Falcon ever did, that's why those are white in LEGO form and the MF is grey.
  23. rollermonkey
    Nope. If you look at the picture where they show the console/box attachment you can see that all 4 sides are there. Requires the police box signs on the sides to fold up and down, but the two parts come together to form the 4th side. It's pretty fantastic all around. I just hope that all those parts are printed and not stickers, otherwise it's going to be a massive sticker sheet. Is it December 1st yet?

    Went into the LEGO store for Wall-E, came out with him plus Poe's X-wing.
  25. rollermonkey
    That is a LOT of binos! Looks good, though. :)
