Well done Oky , You really took your entry to the next level A big thanks to everyone who gave me a vote, I am over the moon that i came in second place with such high quality competition Thanks to everyone involved

Its September now still no new news ?

Nice little speeder, and some great pics , Good Job

I like this Looks like it could be in the SWU and has a bit of a Classic Space to it (but in a good way) Again its a bit of a shame about the cockpit color but still a great MOC

Thanks for all the positive comments, This little MOC started off as just a joke , but it turned out better than i was expecting (thanks to the robot arm piece) Im really happy that you guys found it funny

Thanks for all the kind words It was a fun build, and i wanted to do justice to such an awesome character in the SWU I felt let down by the official set 8128: CAD Bane's Speeder, as it was just a civilian transport, and really wanted to give Cad a vehicle he could call his own Again thanks for all the views and comments

Why not, Its in a different catergory to my speeder "•Only one entry per category per member." Or have i done something wrong ?

Palpatine's SITHway As we all know, Emporer Palpatine isnt quite the man he was Thanks to an incident with the meddling Mace Windu, he was left in a bit of a state. So how does most powerful man in the galaxy get around his Death Stars and Star Destroyers ? With the SITHway of course ! Powered by force lightning, its capacitor can store enough power to travel the length of the Executor. So watch out in those narrow corridors, as this is one set of wheels you do not want to cross.

Cad Bane's - The Thief of Fortune Since the death of Jango-Fett, Cad Bane has finally got the recognition he deserves as the galaxy's most notorious, ruthless, and fearsome bounty hunter. As such he needs the technology and firepower to match his reputation, We all know about his heavily modified ship - The Slight of Hand, but it was his Personal speeder - The Thief of Fortune that was often the Ace up his sleeve. Cad Bane's character was inspired by the great Lee Van Cleef and his role as Angel Eyes in The Good The Bad and The Ugly. Thus giving him a very distinct western theme. It was very important for me to incorporate some old west flavour to his speeder I tried to get several key features into my design - The seat to be inspired by a saddle complete with saddle bags and a blaster rifle holster with easy access I wanted it to have Heavy fire power, Cad Bane is famous for wielding his twin LL-30 blaster pistols and i wanted to carry that over to his speeder with duel - double barrel laser cannons The skeletal design was inspired by the 80's saturday morning cartoon Brave Star, the villain Tex Hex would ride around on a chicken like walker with a cow skull atop it I wanted to go one step further and take the skull and vertebrae from a kryat Dragon and incorporate it with state of the art speeder technology. Now with any small speeder with such heavy weaponry , it needed the engine power to haul it, and haul it faster than its prey The speeder propulsion unit was a custom design by Republic Sienar Systems (who later went on to design and manufacture all the of the Galactic Empires fighters,shuttles, and capitol ships) They didn't usually deal with the underworld, But after Bane found out they were behind the Sith Infiltrator he persuaded them to create his personal project. Finally, I chose the name The Thief of Fortune as it was quite fitting for a bounty hunter, putting an end to many a smuggler or even jedi's fortune and lining his own pockets in the process Also as a homage to Van Cleef, who's final motion picture was titled The Thieves of Fortune. I hope you guys like it , any feed back appreciated

Here is my container, A unit of battle droids ready to deploy

Ive been reading over the last few pages on this forum and i haven't seen many people talking about the kids who want these , Not the AFOLs who go to toys'r'us n buy 3 cases These minifigs after all where made as a children s toy and made affordable for kids to buy with pocket money and trade in the school yard I think that LEGO didn't take into account the amount of collectors and people trying to make an easy buck buying every box they can get there hands on In my opinion the only solution would be to sell a complete set or 2 half sets of 8 in a display box just like the vintage minifigs with a max of 1 per person online This keeps the surprise bags for the kids and stops greedy people from reselling at a high mark up Personally i was disappointed there was no warning they were selling out so quick online I live 200 miles away from the nearest toys'r'us and get my LEGO from shop at home, I have been adding a couple to my cart with my last few orders thinking i would have at least 6-8 weeks Turned out to be 3 weeks that they had them in stock Also when i added 2 to my cart shipping stayed the same , but add an extra 1 = 3 the shipping jumped up 2 bucks Out of the 12 bags i bought i got 4 cavemen and 4 wrestlers and was getting a little wound up, So once i found out they sold out i got most of the figs i didnt have for 4 bucks each (sealed) on BL inc shipping I think 4 Bucks is a fair price but i cant see them staying this low for long Amazon has sellers selling them $6 ea plus $5 shipping

Fantastic job, I love it , I was looking forward to seeing some mini scale Mocs but didn't expect anything as cool as this , awesome work

Amazing , I will not even try and compete against this , But i will enter one or two categories just for fun. Very nicely done , Bravo

I actually did this scene for a past contest in march, At the time i was just getting back into LEGO and had very little to work with but feel free to take a look My Version If i was to do this now i would add greebling to the walls and use a different snot method without worrying about the walls being able to move

looks good , But i am currently half way through reading it and you just gave away the ending
