Japanbuilder Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Got 75301 Luke's X-Wing and 75295 Microfighter with Han Solo. Super glad I did as I still needed a Princess Leia and OGT Han. Heavily modified the X-Wing though. Added retractable landing gear and gutted the crew cabin so Luke could sit up-right. Gave him a flight yoke pilot-facing instrumentation and sensor array. Could not modify the nose sadly due to lack of parts but added an underside to it so that at least it looks aerodynamic instead of a stump. Overall though I am really happy with that X-Wing. Quote

Ooh, I like the sound of those! Would you consider sharing some photos/instructions of those mods - for research, of course Quote

I am sure most folk have hit upon similar mods though as they took a long look at how to improve it. Edit: Ok updated my blog with pictures and explanations of my modifications, feel free to take a peek. https://iroiroandplastic.blogspot.com/2021/01/lego-75301-lukes-x-wing-modifications.html If the link does not work for some reason or other just hit the link in my signature.

Those look absolutely phenomenal!! I've been planning a few mods of my own, but I think I will definitely take some major inspiration from you. Quote

Wow! I definitely gotta grab the pieces for some of these... EDIT: Also, as an alternate, possibly use a lever piece in place of the skeleton leg? Edited January 27, 2021 by Yoshifan33 Quote

I happened to have that leg handy so I used that but anything will do as long as you like it =) 18 hours ago, RogueTwo said: Those look absolutely phenomenal!!

Do post pics someplace of your mods also =) Also I found a way to insert T-Shaped diverters into the intakes without jamming tiles in there. I updated the article in my blog at the bottom in case you want to see those. Edited January 28, 2021 by Japanbuilder Update Quote
Sarah_H7744 Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 I've just bought twenty SW0585 Stormtroopers through Bricklink. I can't wait for them to arrive! Quote
WizardSleeve Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 75188 Resistance Bomber arrived on Tuesday, in preparation for the star bricks B project.. still gonna build it. Last night found a 75244 brand new on eBay for £190 which I thought was pretty good - not sure whether to keep in the box for a while or break it open. Quote

WizardSleeve Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 Picked up a 75252 UCS Star Destroyer with 15% off brand new, need to wait till may as it’s a birthday present 😔 Quote
biggiet17 Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Just bought 75273 Poe Dameron's White and Orange X Wing and another couple of Obi Wan huts as I want to do the MOC shown in this months BRICKS magazine. Quote

I also need to buy some Stormtroopers & Death Troopers, as they will be great for another variation on a Mandalorian display. Fab, I'll check out the modding posts & videos for BARC Speeders & AT-RTs. The build did not disappoint, it is one of my 3 favorite Star Wars sets now! Quote
macaron35 Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 A second hand Tydirium shuttle finally i will be able to recreate a scene i loved so much, the arrival of emperor Palpatine with Darth Vader with an army of stormtroopers lined up and a feu red guards i will resell the minifigs of the set to compensate the outrageous price of the set Quote
Sarah_H7744 Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Yay, Amazon have just delivered my Imperial Shuttle (75302) set & the last two 501st Legion Clone Troopers (75280) battle packs that I need. I've spent far too much money on 501st battle packs, but my Clone army is impressive. Quote

I've bought 10 in total now, which is ridiculous! Ha ha, Quote
lowlead Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Found a few 75301s out in the wild, so I picked one up to experience the new smaller tier X-wing - I was especially curious about the Technic scissor mechanism used for the s-foils. I was pleasantly surprised by the level of accuracy and proportion the designer achieved with a smaller piece count - great build! I added a few bits and pieces... Quote

Ha ha, That's quite the number :D I am satisfied with four and when I'll have the time to take pictures I'll make a thread for the TX-130 Saber Tank I cobbled together from them, but I'm still considering buying another one to keep sealed for the future.

MaximillianRebo Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 Just ordered the new Shuttle and Tauntaun/AT-AT microfighters. Pretty happy to find them 20% off so soon after release (Myer in Aus). Quote
Tom_Brick Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 My most recent purchase was the Trouble on Tatooine set, I did however only get it for Beskar Mando. Instead, I built my own speeder bike: In case you like the design, I've made the instructions available for free on my Rebrickable page: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-58554/thomin/mandos-corellian-speeder-bike/#details Quote
