The Crazy One Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 (edited) Hi all, i was suprised when looking through Brickshelf i found this awsome Imperial dropship. I was thinking , is this an unrealeased set or is it a moc? Edited September 28, 2008 by Sinner I modified the title to avoid confusion Quote
Derek Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 (edited) It is only a MOC that has surfaced (too) many times on here. It is very nice, and I would like to see a set like it. However, I expect this topic to be closed soon... Edited September 27, 2008 by darthperson Quote
Corvus Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 Yes, this did the same rounds last year. Big discussion about whether it was a set or not, but then someone found a link to the guy's folder. Quote
Zorro Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 Yes, this did the same rounds last year. Big discussion about whether it was a set or not, but then someone found a link to the guy's folder. Ive seen it before as well, it is very well build but you can see its a MOC. Quote
Lt. Col. Thok Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 I believe the defining difference between this set and the new sets coming out next year would be that the new sets use the "flick-fire" missile mold. Quote
The Rancor Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 It's also easy to notice that the stormtroopers aren't the new mold! Quote
KimT Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 Oddly this pic surfaces a few days after it has been discussed in the 2009 Picture and Rumor thread. I hope this will be last time we see this MOC combined with the unreleased/future set question - no offense meant, but this one is starting to bother me. Quote
Lars Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 More pics of this dropship MOC I built this way back when the Imperial dropship as a battlepack only was a rumor of an upcoming set. I wanted to know if I could make it look like an official set. It was an experiment and only in parts successful. When I was done I got the idea to present it with a fake "prelimenary pic" The low price of the upcoming dropship was already out so I didn't think that I was going to fool anyone. Check out the pics and try to forget that it is that fake ship everybody is fed up with by now. Quote
Siegfried Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Check out the pics and try to forget that it is that fake ship everybody is fed up with by now. It's a good MOC and the photos are pretty good too! However, I expect this topic to be closed soon... Err.... why? Quote

That combined with all those nice details makes this a very fine MOC. A shame it's(*) often overshadowed by the prelim model discussion. *the ship and it's design Quote
Snake...SNAKE...SNAAAAKE?! Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 This is my favorite moc done by lars Quote
Manta Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 This is a great MOC, but not a leaked set picture. Quote
