LEGO Star Wars 2023 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!
Calanon replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
It's pretty cool that they've made such a niche LAAT variant, a shame about the doors. Minifig selection is good although, how did they manage to mess up Fox's torso? The white extends much too far down. -

It's better than most battle packs for army building to be honest, even if they're not regular infantrymen. The increased variety is nice too. If they were in the realistic print style I'd definitely have bought several packs. -

These new dioramas just look... disappointing, honestly. Besides the given of them being overpriced for what they are the playset of the playsets of the DS2 duel are all a lot more comprehensive. The window build looks nice though. The speeder chase though... well, everyone's already said about the figs. On top of that though the trees don't look great - admittedly it's a scale thing but whilst I think the trunks look okay the canopies look sparse and uninteresting. The vanes look good but the back is ugly, it's very wide and looks disproportionate. The build to accommodate two figs also does not look great. -

Unfortunately, due to finances I'm going to have to drop out of this. -
Would like to share, cannot take on room responsibility.

I'm so pleasantly surprised to see we're getting Admiral Sloane. I'm not sure we've ever had a minifig that's basically been in no visual media before? I'm aware she was in Squadrons, but that was quite a niche game. -

Really nice use of parts! One of the best ones I've seen.

Looks very clean, I dig it. Looks like it'd be nice and easy to swap some tiles for plates to pose minis too, which is nice.

I'm so glad this new helmet is nigh-on identical mould-wise (print-wise I'd prefer a return to the previous live-action style). It looks like it's cut to not be perfectly round, presumably so the visor stays in place. I wonder if this means the rangefinder won't be compatible? -
Not a sale, but Obi Wan's Jedi Starfighter is available from Smyth's for preorder for £5 less than on Lego.com.

Just seen more pics of Yoda's hut - the £30 or whatever one from a few years ago has a bigger interior... I know it's not the main point of the set, but still. -
Looks great, I love the shaping on the wings.

Honestly, it feels like if they removed the black border and the plaque, the price would be lower (I know obviously it's less bricks, you all know what I mean). It's a display set so it can be sold for higher. I'm not surprised there's a new stormtrooper torso - it's been used since 2014, but from the glimpse I've seen I don't feel that it's better. Will have to judge when we see more. -
What are people's opinions on the new hybrid print legs for clone troopers? I'm trying to decide if I should swap the realistic print out for them, so hybrid legs + realistic torso + realistic print helmet. But then black or white hips?

Looks great! Where's the legs and torso from?

So much great detail in here, but I gotta say that BD is done excellently. The blaster bolt mid air is pretty clever. -
What do people recommend as a hair piece for Gar Saxon?

Dreaming of the next Eurobricks event
Calanon replied to Bonaparte's topic in LEGO Events and User Groups
I voted Windsor the same reason as Peppermint, but honestly I'm happy with any. If I could enter a second choice I'd probably say Günzburg. -
Out of curiosity, do these fit under imperial army helmets at all, or does the bit at the front and sides make it not fit?

Does anyone have any suggestions on either fixing or preventing stickers from peeling over time? My A-wing from 2017 is peeling already, which feels a bit ridiculously soon.

Welcome to first past the post voting. Yeah, it sucks. I really, really wish they either let us do voting on sub-themes or let us do preferential ranking. This is also why I was wondering if people had a preference for us to rally behind a particular sub-theme.
