I used bricksmax on the A-Wing - wasn't terribly easy but it looked great. The AT-AT - none exsist yet- going to custom tailor one out. The A-Wing isn't hooked up at the moment as I had to make room for my Star Destroyers new spot to make room for the Falcon and the AT-AT. Need a hub and cable to power it up (I use USB). Quote

Good quality parts. Quote

It can be a bit of deep dark spiral if you’re not careful 😂 I think Rich Boy Jhae is sponsored by them at the moment of you look in his socials you can get 15% off Quote
azzer86 Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 Put my money where my vote was and got the gunship. Now to find somewhere to put it... Quote
BacktoBricks Posted December 15, 2021 Posted December 15, 2021 Got a sealed 75017 Duel On Geonosis for less than original RRP. This was retired just before I came out of my dark age, so providing I open it up and it's all there then I'm super pleased. The green Yoda box art makes me so nostalgic for some AOTC sets. Quote
StarBricks Posted December 15, 2021 Posted December 15, 2021 I bought the 75313 AT-AT UCS set and I can't wait for the Christmas holidays to come so I can assemble it! Quote

Hi Mirko - have a nice time with it...but don't try later to take it apart ....as you know it will not work fully Quote
MSY-MSP Posted December 15, 2021 Posted December 15, 2021 I found 2 of the snow trooper battle packs and the Hoth AT-ST on the shelves of a local toy store this weekend. So was able to buy them 20 days before the official release date. Quote

Not waiting until christmas exactly, but at least until my school is finished. I know if I open that box, I will do no studying for finals until the AT-AT is complete. (Plus, today I see No Way Home) Quote
Commander_Rob Posted December 16, 2021 Posted December 16, 2021 Imperial Marauder is in the bag, to be built on Christmas. Quote
PreVizsla Posted December 23, 2021 Posted December 23, 2021 Bought the Mandalorian forge again after losing my first one on a trip and i finally bought The Bad Batch shuttle to be opened for Christmas. I now have every TCW, The Bad Batch and PT set from 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 minus the UCS gunship that i never plan to get. Missing Rey's speeder, 7 sith trooper foil packs and Phasma with pointed mouth helmet to finish off my ST collection too. (not going for all ST sets just ones i like). In 9 days i will order 3 snowtrooper BP (they were techically in TCW) and accessory pack and i am done with Star Wars till August unless i end up enjoying The Book of Boba Fett show in which case i am buying set/s from that too.

MAVERICK26 Posted December 24, 2021 Posted December 24, 2021 Do Christmas presents count as purchases? Quote
