I don't understand why TLG didn't made a printed cockpit piece either. It would made this great Y-wing even accurater. But we should keep in mind that accuracy is not #1 priority at the TLG headquarters... unfortunately.

I've always wanted to see an great representation of the ship, and you didn't disappoint me after I read the topic title - what an awesome ship you have there! All the angled plates seem to connect well, and the lower and well-greebled section in the centre of the hull is just plain fantastic. Great to see you've made the CIS logo too.

Not much to add either.. it's just great work! You're making good use of your blogger status angel. Great to see how you're fully using your ability to share MOC's, news and other lego SW stuff with us.

Awesome work. This thing is detailed to the bone. The combination of the sphere on top with the detailed and thin legs looks just great. You should indeed put this in a larger scene. Great work overall!

Really? I didn't even know that. But you're right indeed, the only review of this set here on EB proves that. Thanks for correcting me.

I think it's pretty good "Kostas''. There are some parts where you could improve your creation, but you also used some nice techniques and some sweet combination of bricks to represent the speeder bike (the brown part right in front of the biker for example). By the way; when taking a screenshot of your creation, you might change the quality of LDD for a second, so you'll have a more detailed picture of your work. Just a thought.

Many thanks for the review. I have to say that I really like this set. The ''head'' section is shaped well, the engines have about the right size and the position of the nacelle-to-the-body connectors is right. It's well greebled and they even included the copper wires, which is not necessary though, but it stands out great against all the grey. The only part that bothers me somewhat is the cockpit piece - it's transparant at the top which isn't accurate at all. Why not using the same piece as they did in 10134? The cockpit is also a little short for an Y-wing, but as this is also aimed for playability, I'll let this one slide... As for the minifigures, I think they are great. Okay, the Gold Leader is not that special but still good to have him on board. After all, it's Leia and the new R5-F7 unit where it's all about. Leia is great, and the little astromech droid is just awesome. I've always had a soft spot for those little and useful droids, so I'm glad to see the ''R'' family being extended after only having the regular domes for years. Let's hope they'll make even more of them in the future. Overall, good set. I'm going to get it together with the TIE-fighter. That is to say, when I've paid my debts and finally have some money availabe.

Great work again Mood! His face is pretty cute, although I think the lower half of his body is great too - especially his feet.

I'm wondering the same. They can make good use as both parts as minifig pack, and people will probably buy multiples of them. $40,- is easilier spent on some smaller sets, than just one larger set. So I expect it will be lucrative for TLG too.

I have been looking over the internet to find out what the two seat speeders stationed at the Taris upper levels, appearing in KOTOR are called, but without succes. However, I would still really like to see this speeder turned into an official lego set. It's very unlikely, but still. The windscreen piece used for the latest landspeeder would probably be perfect for this vehicle. And it would be a nice way to give us some OR minifigures.

Same goes for me. It's a lovely ship, iconic for the old Republic. It appears both in KOTOR 1 and 2 (two of the best SW games ever) and I think the creation of trooper 278 is a great representation of the Hammerhead-class cruiser. Especially the head section includes some interesting angles and the back section looks great too. Really great to see a not so famous Star Wars ship. Amazing job! That's correct, according to wookieepedia, a Hammerhead-class cruiser has 4 ion engines.

Fan made lego creations don't get any better than this if you ask me. Every single scene you made is, to say the least, awesome. They are all perfect in their own way. If I would have to choose a favorite, which is really hard I can tell ya', the trebuchet would probably be my choice. Fantastic work, I really should keep an eye on the history forum, because of awesome creations like this.

Okay, and now some pictures of your storage.

This looks very interesting. But we need some clearer pictures indeed, before commenting on the ship itself.

These new mini sets look pretty good if you ask me. Anakin's podracer is indeed way better than the previous one. And both the Imperial Star Destroyer as MTT can be useful as part packs. One can never have enough wedge plates.

Great AAT. The missile storage immediately reminded me of the intersection picture of the AAT in a book I own; ''incredible intersections'' or something.

Although I doubt whether this one or your TIE Advanced x1 is the best, I think my preference goes to the TIE Interceptor due to it's level of detail. Even though this is probably not the most exciting section, the part connecting the wings with the cockpit is very well designed. However, the back is still the best part in my opinion, who doesn't love some SNOT'ted, circular cheese slopes? Anyway, great work Doc. I would still love to see one of those build in real bricks.

Now this is what I call an improvement! What a great landspeeder you have there - it's sleek, it's SNOT and detailed. I'd alreadt told you this about your previous version, but this windscreen really works perfectly for the landspeeder. Way better than the sleek, but not-accurate windscreen given in 8092. Last but not least; nice work on the irregular engines and interior, those blaster pistols really work well as a steering wheel. I almost forgot to comment on the little fella; what a nice and cute astromech he is (any plans on making more of them?).

Outstanding work again ''M<0><0<DSWIM''. The speeder bike is a little blocky indeed, but who cares? It's all about the amazing Scout trooper anyway. The helmet is probably the best part indeed, although the torso seems great too.

Fantastic work indeed! The speeder bikes are great, and so is the vegetation, and especially the tree in the background which gives your creation the last touch of texture it needs. Not to mention the awesome photography.

Well, you certainly have a point, but.. why would people buy a new X-wing if the improvements are minimal? Don't get me wrong, apparently the people DO buy new sets which are only a little different from the previous one, but still. I wouldn't. Or they just want the R5-D8 unit as bad as I do.

Wow, this is awesome! I haven't seen such a large tree platform myself before, so it's great you share this with us. Just wondering; are you going to actually ''finish'' the tree by adding a top with vegetation? And will you put this build in a larger scene? I think that would be great, personally. Anyway, great job on this one, especially the technique of adding transparant green cheese slopes on the leaves is a great idea. And the little hut is sweet too.

Great to see you're finished, wokajablocka. I'm sure you've put a lot of effort in the creation, based on the result. The details are there, and the overall look of this scene is awesome. I would love to see more of your creations in the future. Keep up the good work!

No need to bump up one-and-a-half year old threads. If you want to let Brickdoctor know how much you like his work (which I do too ) , just leave a message at his profile please.

But wouldn't $150,- for 2000+ pieces mean that the set includes a lot of standard bricks? Just like 10018 and 7194? I don't hope it will be very sculpture-like though, as I would love to see an accurate and detailed R2-D2, which I'm certainly willing to pay big money for.
