June 23, 201113 yr I just bought a sealed 7749 (Echo base) from Ebay, not a bad price & it was 100% charity listing which was good. Currently planning a decent Hoth medical bay and I needed a suitable Han; although I’m sure that the Tauntaun will come in handy at some point!
June 23, 201113 yr After no delivery, an eBay case and a refund from PayPal, I finally got my hands on two 30051 Mini X-Wings and a 30054 Mini AT-ST from another seller. I thought I might try to make a display of the X-Wings with my Midi-Falcon. The AT-ST might just stay in the packet - if they can't make it look good on the packaging I don't hold out much hope for the real version. I quite like the Mini X-Wing, I found myself swooshing it after I built the first one - I'm middle aged - is this normal? Edited June 23, 201113 yr by Praiter Yed
June 23, 201113 yr I quite like the Mini X-Wing, I found myself swooshing it after I built the first one - I'm middle aged - is this normal? Of course it is. The true test of any LEGO spaceship that isn't a huge cruiser is whether or not you can swoosh it.
June 23, 201113 yr I quite like the Mini X-Wing, I found myself swooshing it after I built the first one - I'm middle aged - is this normal? I'm middle aged... I swoosh when noone is around. Though, I disagree with your post on the other forum. I'd love to swoosh an UCS A-wing. Don't worry Praiter Yed, we're all a little bit not normal. Edited June 23, 201113 yr by Churchill
June 24, 201113 yr I quite like the Mini X-Wing, I found myself swooshing it after I built the first one - I'm middle aged - is this normal? i was swooshing the X-Wing from the Dagobah set as well as the desert skiff (more like zooming for the skiffs).

I quite like the Mini X-Wing, I found myself swooshing it after I built the first one - I'm middle aged - is this normal? We're AFOLs; the question is, are any of us normal? Oh, and I doubt that 30051 will look "correct" next to 7778; in spite of the fact that the length of the Falcon is still under debate (anywhere from 25 to 35m, which is a huge degree of uncertainty) the 7+cm 30051 will look ridiculously large next to it. But I suppose that's something only a Star Wars fan would notice. And I enjoy swooshing my X-wings as well (though swooshing in the nude is something only KimT would attempt ). Don't worry guy - I'd say you're within the range of "normal" accepted here...
June 24, 201113 yr We're AFOLs; the question is, are any of us normal? (though swooshing in the nude is something only KimT would attempt ). Yes. Everyone else is abnormal. From a certain point of view.Funny, I was just reading that topic a few hours ago.
June 24, 201113 yr Just waiting for them to get here. Thanks to member kyphur, I'll be adding Commander Fox(last needed Commander), 2 more Clone gunners, and 7679 Republic Fighter Tank to my regime. Edited June 25, 201113 yr by Legocrazy81
June 24, 201113 yr just ordered a few Biker Scouts from Bricklink for my Endor MOC (cross fingers on that).

But I suppose that's something only a Star Wars fan would notice. Let me put this into perspective ; I would be making an 'in-flight' display with the X-Wings in front so the scale would not be so important. And I enjoy swooshing my X-wings as well (though swooshing in the nude is something only KimT would attempt ). Don't worry guy - I'd say you're within the range of "normal" accepted here...
June 24, 201113 yr hey all, first post on these forums just picked up 7962 Anakin's and Sebulba's Podracers 7965 Millennium Falcon
June 24, 201113 yr Welcome to the Star Wars forum Brickmamba! Enjoy your builds, especially the Millennium Falcon.
June 24, 201113 yr I found 7101 and 7128 at a yard sale along with a bag of legos! The two sets were incomplete although they both had the minifigures in good condition! That's a Dath Maul, Qin Gon Jin, two Scout troopers, and Luke! All for $5!!! I could barely contain my excitement when I bought those. Yay!

I wish they would make new bagged SW sets with minifigures. Edited June 24, 201113 yr by sharky
June 25, 201113 yr Just bought the clone battle pack! Now I can compare my shadow ARF with a normal one!

I took advantage of TRUs BOGO 90% off. Bought 2 8091 Republic Swamp Speeder(anyone need Barriss Offee, PM me) and another 7929 Battle of Naboo.

That's a Dath Maul, Qin Gon Jin, two Scout troopers, and Luke! All for $5!!! I could barely contain my excitement when I bought those. Yay! You're lucky! And I recently bought LEGO 10188 - Death Star. It's very big and nice!

Yay! good price u got there! get the lost parts from Bricklink or scrounge through the bag of loose parts you bought.

Yeah I got them when they first came out I was 7 a the time , that takes me back, they must have been my first Lego purchases . I still have the 7101 but I made the mistake of taking the 7128 into school where the teacher took it off me and I never saw it again, all I have left of it is the lightsabre and the scout troopers and the two megaphone blasters .

June 25, 201113 yr That's funny, 7128 was my second SW set, I still have one scout trooper and the other incomplete scout trooper left, but where they used to be white, they have a nasty yellow color all over their helmets and torso.
June 25, 201113 yr your teacher may be an AFOL too! go check if he could be in this forum... They more than likely ended up in the big Lego box in one of the classrooms where no child could get any bricks out on pain off death. I've since got the rest of the set back via bricklink. I like to think that my teacher put the parts on BL and I got my original set back but that's a million to one chance .
June 26, 201113 yr Ordered another Death Star play set to put aside for later. Thinking of picking up the pod racers set next because I just love the look of it, just depends what price I can get it for
June 27, 201113 yr Placed my first Bricklink order today, guess that makes me part of the team huh? oh oh...be prepared to get on the road of no return! Bricklink is seriously addictive!
