Beautifull model. Awesome design and great looks! This one deserves some transsclear panels (like the ones hat Conchas had custom-mode for his Technic Challenge Entry) for headlights. Allthough I'm a fan fan of all-black models, this one would look awesome with a darkblue chassis... .

All problems are solved!!!! Well.... At least mine...

Acording tho the customer service rep: "your set is due to go to shipped status today." So let's not worry.... And since the set is shipped from Belgium i'll probably get it tomorrow!

My order was placed on 0.48h gmt+1 and the conformation was sent on 1.08h GMT+1.. Maybe i will give the ccustomer service a little ring and asked them about the 41999 (and some other stuff..)

Excellent MOC. Robots and warmachines aren't really my thing, but I do like ll the functions that have been put in.

Very nice indeed!

Rm8: Thanks for the review! Can't wait to get my hand on this set.

Nice job!

Looks nice indeed! Hopefully we'll get the instructions of the new models soon. It would make the wait until august so much easier!

Awesome MOC! Massive looks, great function! Working on a model for 3 winters must have exhausting!

Skimming through a BI doesn't work for this model. The built itself is great fun. And by all means: so is rebuilding it...

I guess the pins were put there to avoid you from making the mistake of putting the axle- and pinconnector the other way around.

There is a new sheriff in town.

Try to stay nice... .

HI to all This is how Saints original post would have looked with all the correct images in it instead of just links.. _________________________ Hello Eurobrickers !! I had the fortune to pick up the new 10227 B-Wing at my local Toy'sXL ( former Toys'r'us here ) !! Even more fun was the fact that I got a 25 % discount, pricing it down to a price I was accepting to pay.... but was it worth it ?? First I want to thank JunkstyleGio for lending me his table and Fotocamera and putting up with me for an evening !! Please accept my apolegies because I have some trubble with linking and placing pictures, so I just want to give my thoughts and ideas on this model and not give any review of sorts, perhaps in the future . http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=525589 main page . The build is in 10 main steps, many , many baggies, instructions and DSS with carton separate . First off, we start by building the engine section : I started without looking at the instructions and didn't see I had to build 2 simular sections, usely I build such sections at once , but okay, taken for granted. The problem here is the hinge sections, quite wobly, doesn't take much to get loose, and when the section is finished, a pain to get back in place. My tiles are slightly curved, so it does not give a straight line. Then we start with the the section that holds the cockpit : See the gap in the front ??? Get used to it !! I tried pushing them together, redo the section, nothing helps.... Gap stays . We go over to the next step : the main wing ... the thing that makes the model !! Remember the gap ?? Yes ?? Okay, we have that here to, instead of placing a bracket in the middle somewhere , the back doesn't have much to hold it together.. Sad , because the front is almost perfect... Almost... 3 air intakes with white in it , should be black . We go over to the "main" gun, small build, nothing really spectaculair, fun to do ! We've taken the trubble of making a lot of picture's after each step and after this section I was really suprised to see the model balanced out very nice : Be very carefull though !! the cockpit section .. Well... to small ?? the windshield does not do it for me... It feels like almost Minifig scale, has a fault in the building description , has very poor gyro system ( works with gravity... I guess our gravity here in Holland is off, because the system does not go flying around like crazy, its very lazy ... could have been lots better !! Last items on the list are the 2 smaller wing and the stand. These being the most concern to me... and most frustating ! .. The 2 wing don't get the SNOT Technique like the main wing... Really LEGO ?? They do the job, thats it !! I think the wings should be redone, reworked, do it all over !! How much more trubble is it ??? we both agreed that this should be the best part, leaving it like this ... We had it on the display and we both had the idea that there is a lot missing . ( sorry for the rant, this was most of it ) The stand is nice enough... take good care of the position , do it wrong and the model stays on the ground .. I pushed the pins on the "lying down " beam back by 2 , the wing is more steady and of the ground like that ( not in this picture ) , I just came up with that. So , I didn't aply the DSS, Why ?? Because I think there to little orange dots in the DSS, 3 more had done the trick IMHO. Well, I had fun building the model, the lack of a landing gear has me a bit troubled, at this price range I want full options !! At first glace its a great grey model, but don't look to close, some colours start popping up !! Red, yellow and tan creep up and started annoying me after a while. The cockpit is off, weapons were not that much, needs to be re-done aswell Pearl gold ?? Hmmm . I think its a great model, after a overhaull !! The 2 smaller wings shout out they need work done , the main wing needs some kind of bracing in the back , the colours should be replaced with dark gray, black or gray and the stand does not give the model it real potential !! well, that's it folks ! IMHO this sweet model does not take the icing on the cake, a good overall model to be put on the shelf, to be left alone and not to be taken under close scrutiny.. I guess this model was a bit of a stephchild I would do it different , and I'm going to to that, starting with a new stand, rebuild the smaller wings, see if I can do something about the cockpit and work out all the colours . And work out the gaps . Don't take all the negative from me, I love the model, but it deserves better !! Grtz Saint

I guess it was my fault that I didn't resize the photo's.. Best way to re-size them by the way is an easy program called VSO Resizer. info for Saint: I've put some 640x480 versions in a special "small" map.so you can use the pictures(after moderation of course)

@ Saint: It was fun having you over! Taking pictures and watching you build was very interesting. On the model itself i have to agree with saint! The model has an impressive size and looks extremely cool, but when you take a closer look, there is so much room for improvement. Hopefully I will get the chance on taking more pictures when Saint is done with all his rebuilding.

Easiest way to get the parts strait is to call the customerservice. They probably will get you new parts.

The final model looks fine indeed! Again my congrats to RM8!

Don't get this fast building stuff.. Just take your time to enjoy it. And don't forget to eat, drink, sleep (and take the dog for a walk) and meet up with others...

I don't collect any other themes. Altough I got the odd number of sets from other themes. Most of them i got as a present from friends. "You collect Lego don't you?"

Not to shabby for a first studded attempt.. No seriously; Excellent job!.

8 days and counting... Hopefully march 22th will be the date for the final presentation.

Non taken.. Some of do like stickers and some of us don't!
