Fantastic, honest review. Love the clickty-clack elements. And I hope those printed keys make it to the secondary market at a relatively cheaper price.

It's important to realize that we have it insanely good in the US when it comes to 1) finding sets on shelves and 2) finding sets on discount. From what I know of the rest of the markets no one else gets the US expected 20% markdown on most Lego sets 6-12 months after release. Target and Walmart pile-up their stock for us. When they over-stock they run sales and we get the wonderful 20% off. But most of the world doesn't get that.

Vidiyo parts haven't been available in the US for either the first wave of this one. Not sure why they are available in other parts of the world.

No, you cannot post links to leaked photos.

Glad you like it! Here are some behind the scenes shots of the tower:

I have a DHL tracking number for my big order from June 1st, but it hasn't been marked as shipped. I'm assuming it's the order without the animals which I had to order separately and on backorder. But we'll see when it arrives this week! In the meantime, here's my loot shoot from orders that arrived in May:

Some great entries so far guys! Keep them coming!

That's some great greebling!

While I have enjoyed reading the different views about Clone Wars and Rebels, this is not the thread for that discussion. Lets get back on topic here, but feel free to continue this line of thought in the appropriate thread listed in my signature below.

Thank you! Credit for the lavender foliage choice has to go to @soccerkid6 though. Pretty sure he was the first to use it. Thanks! I can't find the reference picture but I saw someone on Instagram use it. I looked at a number of Synder brother tutorials, but ended up coming up with my own design for the tower. Glad you like it! Your point about shooting the Minotaurs is a great oversight on my part! Those soldiers will have to be suitably punished for their failure.

A great little entry!

I'll echo that, your landscaping is great!

Great use of sloped walls! And do I recognize that floor technique? Your lighting also creates such a great atmosphere!

Love the brick-head take on your character! I too thought you meant the Skye native to represent someone specific. But having your explanation clears it up.

Bilbo? Oh wait, wrong universe! Love how you added just the right element of Star Warsy stuff to make this fit.

I like those bikes. And that Sullust terrain is pretty spot-on.

Good plate stacking to make those walls!
