There are Snowspeeders with orange and with grey markings. The grey markings are for Lukes Snowspeeder and his was nearly the only one that ever got releases. Orange Snowspeeders were only released in 1999, 2004 and in the Wampa Cave set so a new one for army building would be nice, and actually useful if they could bother updating the design for once but I don´t care anymore, after 5 of the exact same models I finally sorted out all the pieces I need to copy that MOC the Aussie A-Wing Anon posted lately.

Or maybe it will be a substantial redesign in light grey for once.
After I wasted a day to copy the Lego Batman 3 1966 Batmobile design and finally built it from my parts it just took 6 months for the rumor of the Batcave to come up.

Nah, don't want to spend that much on a single piece. Hope I can make something with the Knight's Kingdom helmets, those were the pieces which started me on this tangent. That, and I've always wanted a red revolver.

Newfag here, I've seen you guys talking about Bricklink (I've never used it myself) and being able to do a parts list or something to get all the parts for a model without buying the set itself.

How would I do that to just get the parts for the Emerald Night's coach (from set 10194) and The Horizon Express's double coach? (from set 10233)
>>
>>5306540
Might be the seller knows someone who works at a Lego store/ park. They produce bulk quantities of parts in unreleased colors for displays and stuff, but logistics means that they produce more parts than what they actually use, so the rest gets warehoused. Somebody pays somebody else to grab a few pocketfuls of unreleased colors and a month later they show up on cracklink.

I'm kind of kicking myself for not getting a red revolver while I was at it. Maybe I'll get that blue cat and a red gun for my birthday.

Custom means exactly that anon. If you wanted that guy's caboose you'd have to ask him for it. I reverse engineer stuff in LDD sometimes to learn better building skills and to have fun, but of course that isn't an actual model. You can kind of process LDD builds into real builds through some good work and software, but it's up to you to build what you'd like.

>>5306679
If you rearranged a few and made him stand up, that could easily pass for a vertical STAP type thing- the way he's on it looks uncomfortable.

If you don't know how to build stuff, experiment. Fool around and spend some time with your parts. If you're looking to improve your skills then you have to practice. I already mentioned reverse engineering, and that's done by eye and guesswork.

The caboose doesn't seem like that hard of a job, it's pretty straightforward looking.

I would say its more of a "most buyers have full on reality displacement field" syndrome.

These are the same types of people that when you tell them the knock off apple charging cables on deal extreme are the SAME EXACT ONES that are made for apple, same parts, same build quality, hell, made in the same factory (most of them even have the engraved apple logo on them and even have the printed on copyright fine print!), they just blow you off like "nah man, that could never happen!", when in reality, yes, thats exactly what happens.

This isnt some guy producing a couple hundred in his garage with an injection molding machine he bought second hand, its more than likely one of the factories in one of the shitier parts of the world (they wouldnt happen to have any chinese factories, would they? Even just one?) is cutting back alley deals and making parts and selling them third party.

Lego produces a lot of pieces in colors that aren't intended for sale, and all the extra unused parts are just warehoused for infinity. Most of these rare-color sellers are in Germany, which makes sense because they make a lot of custom displays there.

>>5307498
You can also see, plain as day, in the trailer when Finn faces him with lukes saber he has his helmet off (you can see his hair whipping around). I was personally hoping they didnt unmask him, but this just tells me he will be another Maul, kick ass bad guy criminally underused and then killed off in the fist movie by "We wuz jedi and sheeeeit".
>>
>>5307510
His design sucks though. It's like a toned down Vader, while Maul, Grievous and even some of the CW villains at least looked unique.

I think Leia is in so few scenes that they had either this or a control room to choose from if they wanted to release a minifigure of her in a set.

Well I said that I'd posts pics of my Firehouse when I got back home for Thanksgiving, so here we go. First thing you'll notice is that the building is on a 32x32 base instead of a 32x48 one like the official set. This was mainly due to me wanting the set on a smaller base to fit my shelf along with it fitting to the Modular standard better. Oh yeah the building is modular and doesn't fold out like the official set does.

Ignore the base for now, I just build my Modulars on a 2-brick tall base so that I can use it with my custom roads.

The first major problem I missed when designing it was making sure the Ecto-1 could even fit. I went with the traditional roll-up shutters since I couldn't make a good looking brick door, but that kinda proved to be a fruitless effort.

The one thing my version does that the official one won't is have a closed-off alleyway. When the firehouse does come out I'm gonna scrap the one I have and use parts from it to make a slightly better official set, I'll probably use the rest of the parts to make a small apartment.

>>5308014
Yep, one of the incentives for making the brick road was to combine road and rail, but I'm probably gonna scrap the latter since it'll be impossible to do curves in my budget.

>A B-Wing crossed with a train car? And where ARE the B-wings and A-wings in this time period? They were supposed to be brand new when RotJ takes place.
Not anymore.
According to Rebel's Canon, The A-wing was their FIRST Star Fighter, the B-wing has just been brought in as a Prototype, I'm assuming the same will be done with the X-wing eventually, yet STILL no sign of the Y-wing, which is STILL a Clone Wars Relic.

Got my Target minifigure cube in the mail today. Surprised to see that Lightning Lad has an alt face. Sorry for the shitty pic, it's gold printing and my phone didn't really pick up the details in my shitty kitchen lighting.

Also didn't take a pic but he has a Legion tattoo on his arm.

Overall the cube figures are very nice, printing seems crisper than normal. The base plate tooling probably needs to be refreshed, the minifig foot holes don't have much friction on the pegs and don't stick as well.

Mixel sets exists for the sake of interesting pieces. Excellent for building mechs.
Why are you building the hideous and terribly designed Mixels, or your own variations of them? WHY

If I were you I'd have tried to make a SNOT based head to try and add details like the eyebrows, a distinguished jawline, etc. and I'm a lady fig guy. If you keep going at the scale you're at though it should by no means be a problem and if anything things like exposed studs and the like could help you get the look you're going for.

those plastic coats look akward and at lest some of it feels redunant considering we have official hazmat suits, orange caps and semi-realistic revolvers...

This guy gets it.

I only ever build grey tanks and jets and whine that Lego has no realistic military theme yet. Fuckers forgot they should be here for us and not for kids.
