Bought the First Order Tie Fighter (75101) from Walmart on clearance for $35.

My order shipped today also. I made my purchase at midnight as soon as the promotion started because I really wanted the Darth Revan. I am surprised how fast they ran out though. I heard that if you called after they ran out, they offered some people free VIP points to make up for missing out. Others got the First Order General polybag as a replacement.

Nice! I can almost hear the diesel engine running!

Nice! It's just like a real train! Cool layout too.

Wow, those look great! Especially for the scale! Tough to do!

The Brick Show guys are running around and doing conventions/shows all the time whereas Jang puts his time into his channel, so their YouTube goals might be different. I watch Jang most of the time, but one thing I do like about Brick Show is their coverage of other people's MOCs at shows.

Awesome! I really like the aggressive style. If every police vehicle looked like that, there would be no crime in Lego City!

Nice! I like that the cab can fit two people!

Wow, great detail on each of those!

I've had great success with Testors decal paper: http://www.testors.c...s/tools/decals/ I'm sure there are other brands that work equally as well. This paper says it is made for inkjet printers, but I use it with a laser printer. The trick is to print your decal image as a transparency. You can do this by selecting "transparency" as the paper type in the print dialog. This causes the printer to use a lower temperature to bond the toner to the decal paper. The lower temperature prevents the decal paper from being melted and creating a gooey mess in your printer. Here are some of the images that I've printed using decal paper ...

Wow ... these are very realistic looking! I like the LED addition too!

I really like the colors and the containers. Is there an Arctic Supply train in the works?

Thanks everyone! It was really fun making this. I'll try to post a video of it zooming around on some track. LOL .. yeah, I came close to putting in some doors on the passenger cars, but I wanted to keep the lines simple and straight. I think the cars are a bit more sturdy that way too. To justify not having any doors, I convinced myself that the red windows are actually red force fields that can be turned on/off, allowing for quick deployment! ;)

First time poster here with a custom build I did based on tramcars that I've seen in the past. I've always liked the look of these and I wanted to design one that looked a bit more bold. I came up with this design in LDD and built it to keep rowdy citizens in my Lego city in line! It runs on standard Lego train track and I made it flexible enough to handle tight turns and bumps in the track. Each passenger car can hold 4 minifigures (a driver and 3 troopers).
