May 16, 20213 yr I just got a vintage/complete Mindstorms Dark side Developer kit in box for $10 at a garage saleĀ
May 17, 20213 yr Last buy was an used, (2019) UCS Star Destroyer for 400 euros in March. Really happy with that!
May 25, 20213 yr parts for a second modded Han Solo tie fighter (by Ron Mcphatty) in order to get 2 Tie fighters surrounding one modded tie interceptor :) Ā Ā
May 25, 20213 yr Ordered 75292Ā TheĀ Razor Crest and 75290Ā Mos Eisley Cantina for May the Fourth (along with a copy of the GWPĀ 40451 Tatooine Homestead with each); Iām still awaiting the Cantina (it was back ordered), but looking forward to it. Today, for the anniversary of Star Wars, so far Iāve assembled a copy of 75270Ā Obi-Wanās Hut; I might build another set later (thinking about one of two copies I have of 75052, the version of the Mos Eisley Cantina from 2014).

Update: youāll all undoubtedly be glad to know I did that very thing, but it turns out I have a defective part in this seven-year-old set! Fortunately itās nothing rare - one of the tan 1x6x2 arches. But still! Iām glad it wasnāt something set-specific licensed thing. Off to TLGās customer service...
May 26, 20213 yr Finally got on my hands the 75290 Mos EisleyĀ Cantina set 20% off duringĀ May, 4th deals.Ā Great set overall. Now I have to repurpose my old cantinas as side buildingsĀ
May 29, 20213 yr Picked up the 2017 LSW Annual for 6.50ā¬ (incl. shipping), which is a pretty solid price for the included Chopper and Ezra figures.
May 30, 20213 yr Having been taking a break from Bricklink recently, I thought a little purchase was in order. 10 extra 501st Legion Clone Troopers (SW1094) will finally complete my 501st Clone Army. I now have a total of 40 501st Clone Troopers (SW1094) & 10 Clone Jet Troopers (SW1093). I've needed an Emperor Palpatine (SW1107) minifig for a while now. How could I have an Imperial Army without Palpatine? Haha. My droid collection has been increasing for a while now & a Silver Protocol Droid U-3PO (SW0766) will make a nice addition. Of course I also bought lots more parts for MOCS I have in planning.
June 7, 20213 yr Picked up 75050 B-wing (minus Nien Numb and General Craiken, although I'm not too fussed about their absence)Ā for the not unreasonable price of 40EUR from Tori.Had to supplement one or two missing pieces from my collection, but it now means the only alphabet fighter I'm missing is the elusive U-wing. Still waiting on a good deal for that... EDIT: I just noticed the spring-loaded shooter missiles are missing. I am, as you can probably imagine, utterly distraught. /s Edited June 7, 20213 yr by TeddytheSpoon
June 19, 20213 yr I infally got around using a couple of giftcards I had and got the new X-Wing 30% off :) Still a bit unsure about the square back and non retractable front skid, but that wing mechanism is exactly what I wanted from a lego X-Wing and makes me want to try and overhaul the one on 75218.
June 19, 20213 yr I picked up 75283 AAT, mainly for the minifigs, but I put the AAT together and itās not bad IMO with a couple of very minor mods - I took out the larger diameter parts of the main gun, flipped the side guns so they are the correct way up, and removed the round part between the hull and the cones pieces that hold the side guns. I may look to make the turret narrower, but I may have to sacrifice the seating for the droid up there.
June 19, 20213 yr Got the Snoke's throne room for apr. $55 (the price was a turning point).Ā Was surprised that it is still available in my country with a discount. Not sure if I am going to open it any time soon but when I have enough space or when I decide to make a moc based on TLJ I will certainly return to this set.Ā
June 21, 20213 yr A while back IĀ learned that during my LEGO dark period, āthe guy who flew the falcon with Lando in EpVIā Ten NumbĀ was released in a set. His minifigĀ came in the mail a while ago andĀ I am so excited!
June 21, 20213 yr This year's X-Wing, which lasted about five hours before the first mods, and the current Imperial Shuttle polybag.

Ten Numb is a B-Wing pilot.Ā

June 23, 20213 yr Got the new shuttle and the AT-AT. Havenāt built the Walker, but IĀ have already modded the shuttle to fit more figures in the back.
June 23, 20213 yr I got an activity book with a C-3PO minifig. Finally, I have now both droids I was looking for!
June 24, 20213 yr Third copy of 75300.Ā Converted one to an Interceptor, the other two are to spec, but with modifications to the interior of the wings.

No, I used the parts that are included.Ā I copied what Nano Bricks did on YouTube.Ā There is one mistake in the video.Ā There are a bunch of parts left over afterwards, but you can add them to make the wings more stable.Ā There are 4 2x4 plates left over, but you can add them on the inside back part of the middle of the wings to lock the pieces in place better.

Good to know it uses only parts that are already included, I'll check it out :)
