I've only seen two low resolution pictures: one from the side, one from almost top-down. Unfortunately, I didn't save them. All I could really see was a control panel of some sort, a red and dark stone grey tank/canister, two or three steps up to a platform, and a small yellow crane - similar to the one in 75098: Assault on Hoth.

Where did you get that information? I don't see a droid even remotely resembling CZ-1 unless they're counting that recolored medical droid.

I agree with both points. ...and I also have a bit more controversial statement: I own and really like 75098 - Assault on Hoth. Regarding the new Fall sets - this is probably my least liked Star Wars Advent Calendar. I may not get it and just BrickLink Merrick (sp?) and his helmet. Otherwise, I really like the rest of them and it will be tough for me to decide what NOT to get.

I've stated this on the LegoLeaks Discord already, but I'll say it here for those who don't access it: The Kessel Mine Worker looks like one of the individuals in the back of this photo but without a hat/helmet:

Yes, spot on. I don't consider that a disappointment because I think the coaches work quite well. Yes, these panels are reversed from the image on the preliminary box image for 60197. Also, it looks like they changed the train's primary color from yellow to orange. It looks like there's at least eight straights on the preliminary box image for 60198 and only one switch left; no switch right is visible in either that box pic or this newer picture. How odd! All-in-all, I quite like the 60197 Passenger Train and will likely pick it up as I don't have any others. The 60198 Freight Train is likely a skip for me since I recently acquired the 60052 Cargo Train.

What a fantastic display! There's so much going on I think I'll have to revisit the flickr album multiple times just to catch it all. I probably love the rowboat with the hole in it the most. The only things I can possibly think you could add to this would be a custom ship or seagulls.

I bought the 60052: Cargo Train set largely in part because of 10254: Winter Holiday Train. Otherwise, the only other Train set I have ever owned was 7722: Steam Cargo Train Set when I was a kid. I wonder if it has had that sort of an impact on anyone else out there...

That's not right, is it? Or did they change Tobias's outfit?

Great review! I've been out of my dark ages for a few years now and was looking around at LEGO cargo trains. 60052 really piqued my interests as I'm in the U.S. and the engine looks more like the type used in U.S. I wanted to wait a bit to see what was offered in 2018. However, I decided 60198 wasn't for me after seeing the confidential box image and thankfully Amazon had 60052 for 25% off. So, I've made the jump and received it yesterday. I am really excited to put it together but a bit worried about going down the LEGO train rabbit hole. At any rate, one minor gripe I'd like to resolve is the non-angled gap between the corner bricks below the main windows: As far as I can tell, this would be best rectified like so with a Plate 2x2, Corner, 45 Deg.: Unfortunately, TLG does not make it in Flame Yellowish Orange. Any other easy suggestions?

Do you mean Hoth?

I would be highly surprised since the preliminary photo for the X-Wing had one figure with a lightsaber and one without. Plus, why would they include Vaner in an X-Wing set? Could this be more of a hint toward a new UCS Y-Wing?

That R2-D2 makes perfect sense for inclusion in the Yoda’s Hut set.

Here's my take on the 10260 - Dowtown Diner in LEGO Digital Designer (LDD) before instructions are available. I'm hoping the model is helpful for those of you wanting to make modifications or put it side-by-side with other Modular Buildings. LXF File (LDD 4.3.10 - brickset 2248.1) My apologies but I've had to take a lot of liberties since either certain parts are not in LDD or the pictures made available don't cover certain angles. I've tried to make out which pieces would be used based on those images - including the parts list on the top of the box. Because of this (and because this isn't based off of official instructions) I'm not even going to attempt compiling an errors list. Hopefully someone out there finds this useful.

Saw it on the regular LEGO subreddit; not on legoleaks.

I like the PC but it's my least favorite Modular Building by far. I bought the PC two years ago, built it, and have already disassembled it, while all of the others in our house are still together (FB, GE, PS, TH, PR, DO, BB, AS, and also Ninjago City).

It also looks like they're using the new Tile 4X4, W/ Bow piece around the six large vents on the back.

Wait... One of the lead SW LEGO designers was banned from Eurobricks?

Bought 70618: Desiny's Bounty yesterday our local Barnes and Noble (since we have a Membership for 10% off). It's a shame they can't figure out a better way to secure the sets than the silly tight cords around them because the box was in horrific shape. Thankfully, I was able to negotiate an additional 15% off the price because of it. Oddly enough, they had the Ninjago CMFs out on the floor. Usually, these are kept behind the registers. So, I was able to pick out the Sushi Chef with no problems. When assembling him I found that the articulation of his parts much looser than I've experienced with other CMFs or minifigures packaged in sets normally...

I'm a big fan of Imperial Star Destroyers and this MOC is simply AMAZING! You really outdid yourself with all of the details. The interiors are very well done. There's no way an official set will ever come close to this. Bravo!

Looks normal to me: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?M=sw187#T=S&O={} https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?M=sw427#T=S&O={}

Excellent. Thanks for the response! I've never used them but might try them myself soon. Cheers!

Hi @Cody Startale, How do you apply the decals? Do you use Waterslide Decal Paper? The Boba Fett arm decal on your site looks great!
