  1. A very neatly designed Sith Infiltrator, though I think it lacks the size of the older version. A fine ship, but not what I would call a Sith Infiltrator. It should be bigger. Thanks for another fine SW review KimT
  2. Yet another fine review Your getting my fingers bleeding from all this updating the review index Keep doing that - reviewing that is. KimT
  3. Thanks for the great review. Nice and sharp pics, just the way I like them. Keep it up A nice little battle pack, if one is in to those pesky battle droids KimT
  4. Thanks for the review. It has been indexed - keep up the good work. KimT

  6. Maybe there isn't room for a pilot. He could be using a remote control. It is a droid ship KimT
  7. As stated earlier -the last one IS the pilot Maybe the reason for the two of them having "gun" hands is exactly that. KimT
  8. Thanks for that update Jesper. Pic has been added to the first post. KimT
  9. Ok. I found the fig and the hair, so here we go: I hope this helps you. KimT

    Wauw. Nice work I've added it to the index. I really like the schematics. It just adds that little extra thing Well build and nice colour scheme. KimT
  11. In that case this would be me KimT
  12. That's a neat little set. I like the design of the fighter. Thanks for the review - it's been Keep it up KimT
  13. Of course You had to do it "Fabuwise" Nicely done, it actually has that Star Wars feeling to it. What did you "win" except the cool Brickworld Best Vignette plate and bricks KimT PS: I'll add this to the SW MOC, MOD and Vignette thread. Please add the index sign yourself.
  14. It's attached to the DS and cannot move as such. Though there is 4 "spots" where it can be attached to the DS. Reading your comments on this set, I can see why TLG has been forced to put it on sale on the US S@H. I don't agree that the ISD is better - IMHO they're exactly them same - big and grey This is a question of personal liking - which is the coolest DS or ISD. Not comparative. I'd still call this an ok UCS when looking at it individually, but there sure is a lot other UCS sets that would get a better score than 5/10. KimT
  15. It has been done and it was put on sale quite fast. So redoing that one is very close to "not-gonna-happen!" Sorry KimT
  16. Whoa! Cool it on the l33t sp34k or prepare to cool it off somewhere else. Read the "Reminder on how to behave in here..." (top of page under Luke's lightsabre). KimT
  17. 10143 Death Star II Production year: 2005 Pieces: 3441 Minifigs: 0 Price: 299 USD peeron.com 10143 Gallery The Review Ph4tDuD3:"DS review!!!?!!! - u 2 kewl 2 do diz" Me:"Yes" Ph4tDuD3:"Kewl..do u have pix of the minifigs?" Me:"Erhm..what minifigs?" Ph4tDuD3:"The ph4t figs from the DS!!1" Me:"This is the other Death Star" Ph4tDuD3:"OMFG there's more than 1" Me:"Yes" Ph4tDuD3:"keeeeewl. must have!!" Me:"Goodbye" [pushes the incinerator button] Ph4tDuD3:"wut?! nooooooooooooooooooo..........." and on that note, let's start the reivew of the UCS DEATH STAR II. Now this is an older set (2005) and I've only gotten around to buying it a short while ago. It took me around 2 evenings to build it and I must say that I am fairly impressed by this set. Time for a box pic: The Build: Since I started building this huge (small moon size) set at Morten's appartment, I wanted to keep as few polybags open at any given time as possible. With this set it is actually possible to have a minimum of bricks scattered over a table or two while building. Not sure why, but the division of bricks in the different polybags just work very well. And that is great with a set this size - 3441 bricks. The building of the set is divided into several "Build this times x". For example the upper and lower part of the "unshielded" DS are completely alike. This is difficult to see when looking at the model, but heaven when building it: And this is how they solved the problem of having the wings connected to the buttom of the Death Star - geniously done IMO: Note that in the first pic the "skeleton" is easily seen. "The skeleton" holds the X to which both the upper and lower part is "clicked" on with technic pins. Also there's a steering wheel (I'm sure there's a pirate name for that ) like the one in the bottom, in the top of the model to hold the upside "wings". So after having build duplicate wings (upper and lower), the "belt" (all the way around the star) and the upper and lower part of the "unshielded" side, it was time to step back and watch the Death Star II in all it's glory: Such a great UCS set. Now I did have a few "huh's" during the build: HUH! #1 In the instruction the technic lesser-dragon-head should be dark grey, but I got it in light gray. Go figure and thank you replacement parts. I've experienced this before and apparently TLG uses different colours when "out-of-stock". All one has to do is call them and ask for the right colour and it's on it's way Still a HUH! experience. *huh* HUH! #2 Again it appears that TLG changed the design of the technic axleholed 1x2 bricks. The bottom has changed and I got the set where it was mixed up between "old" and "new" version. Not that annoying, but still got me perplexed as to: "Am I doing this right?" Kinda stressing to consider taking most of the star apart to check the remaining 231 technic bricks 1x2 with axlehole. *huh* Now for a verdict: : 1: looks great 2: even my "wife" likes it - female appeal 3: it's a great build 4: the polybags work for you 5: it's Star Wars 6: the design is awesome : 1: it wobbles if you touch it 2: very small parts come off, if you touch it 3: parts come off when you try to move it somewhere safe 4: zero swooshability So in short (yes even shorter]: The DSII is a well designed UCS set that has a great design. Like most other UCS sets, it is not meant for play - hence don't play with it. UCS verdict (the numbers) 5/10 (design++/instructions+-/bricks+-/sturdiness--/colourscheme+-) design: awesome look and great greeble set instructions: easy to follow steps with bricks mentioned hard to see wether it's black or dark grey bricks: loads of great bricks a zillion bricks of the same type sturdiness: DON'T TOUCH colouscheme: grey in grey with a little touch of black Need a missing instruction? Then click the logo
  18. Eeeew yourself. Yes all licensed themes have skin-coloured minifigs. It's part of TLG's policy after being pestered by fans about Star Wars and Harry Potter being "out-of-touch" with reality as long as the minifigs were yellow. Does that answer your "eeew"? KimT
  19. And now..tadaaa...the Rebel Forces: (smaller army than I thought I had...curse the blasted Jedis for filling up the sets) Soon to come "The Battle Droid Army" KimT
  20. Deleted...was not really that usefull a comment anyways. KimT
  21. Must be a time-zone thing I must admit that it sounds strange though. Not knowing anything about the how's and why's concerning the site's techicallity my simple answer would be: "Are You sure You joined when You think You joined?" KimT [waiting for the tech staff to explain this]
  22. Thanks AoNZ and hollisbrick I've updated the first post. KimT
  23. That is one awesome custom minifig you've done there. I really like the helmet and the print Though the helmet looks a little bright white compared to the rest of the fig, it might just be the picture quality. Thanks for showing us how great customization can be. KimT
  24. What will I buy? That's simple: "all of it" The new wave rocks and as a "true believer" I have to get them all - that and I collect Star Wars lego. The only question is, do I have enough money to buy duplicates? KimT
  25. OK! Here's how it goes: 1. take a pic and upload it somewhere (brickshelf or the like) 2. click the pic - until You can't click it anymore 3. copy the link (http:/www.brickshelf.com/gallery=lala/mocs/ifals) 4. press the "insert image" button in your post and paste the link. 5. submit your post Some picturesites have different ways of deepclicking a pic. I think Flickr has a different way of allowing a deeplink. And finally an example of a deeplink as it would show up in your post while posting: [img=http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1585901] I hope this helps. KimT
