Yeah I agree. I got it because it was already 20% off, going to see if I can mod it to carry the First Order Snowspeeder underneath.

Bought an Imperial V-Wing Pilot fig to pilot it, since I don't like the one they used, and thinking of getting a load of Imperial Gunners (found a 10 for $44 plus p&p on Ebay- is that a good price?) to man the rest. I was over the moon when I found out about Sabine with a helmet and that Astromech, though.

Generally asked just so I don't get buyer's remorse to be honest. Anyone have any ideas on how I could get it so that the speeder can be attached? It seems to heavy to just be able to stick onto the already present studs.

So, I revisited a build I made for a monthly challenge (May, I think it was?) because I thought it could be improved with a few minor adjustments.

My Post-Apoc Pickup now features rust on the sides to break up the grey and make it more visually interesting, as well as a tow hook on the front.

So what are you guys picking up January 1?

I'm picking up one of each of the Star Wars Battlefront battlepacks, Battle on Takodana (if I like the movie), the Ultimate Waifu set from Nexo Knights and a whole BOX of CMF 15.

I want the Brick Bank but I'm gonna wait for double VIP or something similar.
>>
>>5318435
Nexo Knights are definites. Not sure if I'm getting them all at once or just a couple to start. Definitely getting Fortrex.

I want the Bank too but I might wait for my tax refund, because of the irony and also because there might be a better free poly in February or March.

Chances are they aren't gonna be here on that exact day, but I will pick up [toyspoiler]Onua from Bonkle and his beast[/toyspoiler] as soon as I see it, and some Nexo, SW Battlepacks (ALL OF THEM) and Microfighters and S15 soon after.

Especially the Microfighters are a stretch, since I don't even have full S2 yet.
>>
>>5318507
Bugger. I'd love their helmets to be in the rebels style to fit in with my others. I hate inconsistency, the First Order troopers are already bugging me (not going to even start on the snow and flametroopers) but at least I can pass them off as Officers. Things that are similar-but-not-quite are the worst.
>>
>>5318139
The ship itself looks alright, and you do get some great figs.
Only real qualm I have looking at it is the insistence of mashing together midi and mini scale...
I know as a "Carrier" it should be able to ferry TIEs, but what are you really suppose to do with just Midi scale TIEs?

>>5318205

Yeah, you might need to work with those Technic elements to make an eye and hook system.

CMF 15, All Nexo, and Takodana.

New sets.

I'm fine with the scale to be honest, always imagined those as advancements on vulture droids or somesuch, they'll be alright for parts and background elements. Preferring it as a smaller version and gunship, more of a vehicle ferry to my First Order Transporter and Imperial Troop Transports.

Of course, same reason I like the current AAT and Microfighter Vulture Droid; They may be smaller, but that means they're easier to move and buy multiples of.
Careful with the First Order Transport though, that pilot pod...

is there no other way for them to get a simple ball jointed wing? they need to connect EACH joint through 3 other blocks, root it in place from the top, and hollow out the chest to do it?
and that upside down click in chest is just crap, since no matter what you do, its not going to be flush with the normal build

I finally got pic related after eyeballing it for almost a year.

It's really handsome car, probably the best looking of all Speed Champions. It's fun build and some parts are cool.

But why does it have so many stickers? I understand that stuff like this relies heavily on looks, but they couldn't print at least some parts?

At least now I know this is perfect set for torturing small children
>>
>>5319572
There was a minifig explicitly meant to be a WH40k Ork expy in CMF series 9 and the earlier marine is generic enough that you can treat him as an Ultramarine.

NK does bear some similarities to WH40k, it's kinda as if WH40k had a cartoon in the 80s

Does anyone here own a UCS Slave 1 and one of the lastest system scale Millenium Falcons?

I'm wondering if they're in scale to eachother or if they look weird next to eachother.
>>
>>5319788
>why so many stickers
It must be because of all the corporate logos. Nowadays - excluding minifigs - Lego never prints unless there is potential for print reuse, or if it's super necessary to have it be a print (ie. Chima Legend Beasts need their face prints).

The logos make it hard to reuse those designs in an unlicensed setting, so they have to be stickers.
>>
>>5319881
They've stopped making hard to reuse printed pieces around 2004 or so, when the company was in bad shape. You can see the trend slowly reversing though, Ninjago has a plenty of printed pieces that would've been stickers a few years ago (for example, all those windsows), and there's a lot of printed small tiles in multiple themes lately. Modulars seem to be getting own hard to reuse printed pieces too but that's a special case. Your argument does apply to licensed themes, though.

Someone mentioned the fact that apparently adults were whining about rare part colors only existing as printed pieces might have factored into this (sic), but I find it unlikely.

>>

Small tiles have to be printed though; stickerd would spell death for anyone at that size.

There are also a few exceptions to the reusability 'rule'. 2x2 round tiles can't have stickers when they're made to shoot out of tight launchers, joint balls will never have stickers stay on them, etc.

But I think it definitely is meant to apply mostly to licensed themes, with exceptions made for the specialty Architecture and Ideas theme.
>>
>>5319894
What's canon scale for those two? If UCS Slave I is meant to be as close to minifig scale as possible, that would make it smaller than the Falcon, if compared to its own UCS set.
>>
>>5319896
>Small tiles have to be printed though; stickerd would spell death for anyone at that size.

I dunno, 1x1 and 1x2 tiles with stickers were pretty common around 2008, but then Lego was still recovering from the late 90s-early 2000s problems by then, wasn't it?

Not sure if it is meant to be fig scale because in the movies the falcon and the slave 1 are about the same size. Which makes it understandable as to why it is not as large as the UCS falcon but fits with the small scale one.
>>
>>5319899
08 sets would have been conceptualized in 06 or so, at which point they would have just finished completely implementing the color purge. I would say they were still in money-saving mode.

What pieces were those, anyway? The only 1x1 with detailing I remember from a few years ago was the POTC compass from 2009, which was printed.
>>
>>5319907
A plenty of control screens in SW, City and Batman at the time were stickers. There were some in PM and Space Police too, but those were the last themes before the most modern era that happened with Atlantis and Ninjago. Nowadays there's a lot of 1x1 printed tiles in Friends and some in City and Ninjago as well as licensed themes, not to mention eyes in Mixels; Chima and Hero Factory had a plenty too. Together with Friends and Elves using a lot of printed pieces, it's safe to assume stickers are largely for licensed stuff nowadays. City seemingly uses them too because in some cases they want multiple regional variants iirc? Definitely was the only reason why police sets had them for a long while.

And in the days of Antipolon a tax was declared on all the beings of the system, and so Polaron and his opposite Electrocles journeyed to the city of New Jerusalem (because he was of the clan and lineage of Ferrion).

And Polaron and his opposite Electrocles sought room at the inn, but there was no room, for many others had made the journey to be taxed, and so Polaron sought shelter in a storage riser.

And there appeared in the sky a great sustained nuclear reaction, and toward it came a pair of Ice Man prospectors, who were drawn to it, and before them appeared an angel, and they were much afraid.

And the angel said, "Fear not, for you will be those who witness the birth of the greatest power in the universe," and they were not afraid, and they made travel to New Jerusalem, following the sustained nuclear reaction.

And there appeared in the east three wise men of three ancient lines, for their transcoders had divined that a great power was soon to be born, and they wished to see it for themselves. And they came bearing gifts of gold, and futurite, and air.

And there in a nameless storage riser on a coincidentally-significant date, a magnet was born. And that's the true meaning of Christmas, /lg/.

There is speculation of a a post movie release set featuring Doomsday, based on reports of one for civil war but it seems unlikely. An unreliable source said the reason they only partially revealed the batmobile originally was because Lego was asked to pull a Doomsday bigfig and had to redesign last minute(substituting the forklift and goons for some ruins and doomsday). The source isn't good but I have never seen half of a set at a "reveal" before.
