I'm still looking forward to that Encounter on Jakku set. It could be nicely integrated into a Jakku diorama with Rey's speeder - or even a large Niima Outpost MOC featuring the Millennium Falcon, a tie fighter flying overhead and plenty of destruction.
Finally found some images of the new sets. The luggabeast looks really big and with plenty articulation. But it looks sooooo much brighter and more colourful than in books and the movie, doesn't it? I really like the teedo's head mold! Unkar and his store are to pixelated to form an opinion on for me.
I am surprised about the new (sort of) X-Wing so soon after LEGO released Poe's black edition. The colour scheme is great, but I'm not sure many owners of the black/ orange X-Wing would willingly part with 120 $ (Australian) to get a recoloured carbon copy of the recent model.
Yes! Great news about the LEGO Force Awakens game. My first thought: We'll get a glimpse of LEGO Luke Skywalker! Wouldn't that be the perfect opportunity to include Luke as a pre-order bonus?!?
I just stumbled upon this on the Eurobricks homepage and had to leave a comment. Absolutely amazing and - in my eyes - undoubtedly the most deserving creation of the first place! It's unique, extremely well executed and ridiculously creative. Well done!
Two things I found a DC book ("The Force Awakens - Incredible Cross Sections") made me appreciate the FO Transporter even more:
* the cockpit is very accurate (the illustration shows a pilot standing upright in it)
* the popping-gunner play feature is also spot-on! The image actually shows a stromtrooper on a raised platform and a round hatch granting access to the gun
Thanks for sharing the photos!
I looked at the Battle of Takodana and thought: "Wow, nice way to get Kylo and Ren - with Maz on top!" Then I noticed the two troopers.... amazing!
I love the transporter's look, too. A strange, and possibly highly impractically, design - particularly from a pilot's perspective, yet intriguing. The Leia minifig is obviously a huge selling point.
