Lyichir Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 I see there is a new seat piece on the Mandalorian Fighter.. Looks very useful since it would make it easier to put figures in and out That piece actually originated in Friends, for seating the Friends figures in vehicles since unlike Minifigures, they have no connection points on their butts. But it's interesting to see it used for other, minifigure-based themes. I don't have any sets with it, so I can't judge how well it works. But I'll be waiting patiently for reviews! Quote
Fuppylodders Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Id feel too much like im violating my minifigs if I sat them in that part Quote
Bilbo Baggins Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Id feel too much like im violating my minifigs if I sat them in that part Epic comment I would have preferred that TLG had used a normal seat though. Quote
idunno101 Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 I love how the b wing looks so big and sleek but the cockpit looks totally off. The guy said in the video he had to try and find round pieces to build it but he could have just made a new piece it's simple! And the price is way too high! Quote

What piece is that? Do you mean this: Quote
Fuppylodders Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 What piece is that? Do you mean this: Yes, that's the minifig violating culprit! Quote
coolguy2323 Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Yes, that's the minifig violating culprit! It took me way too long to understand that Quote

The guy said in the video he had to try and find round pieces to build it but he could have just made a new piece it's simple! And the price is way too high! Not really, mould's for new peices cost around $300.000 (at least that's what the doco said) so it's not really an option just for one set. But I do totally agree with you on the price, $350 down here in oz is absolute rubbish so TLG can get stuffed they are not getting my money (at least not directly) Quote

But I do totally agree with you on the price, $350 down here in oz is absolute rubbish so TLG can get stuffed they are not getting my money (at least not directly) Well, more likely about $20k - $30k. There is indeed one mold at LEGO that costs $300k (it is the one used for the dice), but that's because it fabricated in a rather complicated way (not by choice, of course) Quote
morcianknight Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) 9494's Obi Wan is just awesome! His face print with that great head of hair. Just sayin' Just seen that. Haven't collected Lego Star Wars since just before TCW came out. Did they change the minifigs from the coloured eyes to normal after 2008 or something? His hair isn't as orange as the original either. Edit: Oh, for some reason I thought that was a TCW set! So they changed the regular Obi-Wan's headpiece? Edited August 10, 2012 by morcianknight Quote
cavegod Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 There's a review of 10227 if you look for it. Quote
commdr_neyo Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 There's a review of 10227 if you look for it. Here, perhaps? Quote
Bilbo Baggins Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 That cockpit looks awesome, and WOW!!!! It has so many pieces. Quote
DFOL Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 There's a review of 10227 if you look for it. It took some searching, but i found the review! Lucky you to have gotten the B-Wing so early!!! Thanks for sharing the pictures and your thoughts about this set, they have pretty much confirmed my own opinions. It is really beautiful and a must have for me, but like you the windscreen is still bugging me a bit. Also, i found the report about the rear end of the cockpit falling off that easily rather disturbing, can't the construction be strenghtened somehow? Quote
cavegod Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 yeah it can be altered to make it secure. but you shouldn't have to. Quote
DFOL Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 I agree with you there. If there is an easy way to secure that section, then why wasn't that included in the build in the first place? I get the feeling you're a bit disappointed with the set. Did you expect more from it? And now that you have held the model in your hand, how do you rate it compared to your MOC version? Quote

And now that you have held the model in your hand, how do you rate it compared to your MOC version? holding it in my hand it feels solid it can take a shaking with no parts falling off it's a touch lighter than my moc but the same size and far more accurate due to the new parts. If I was going to buy it though now having had it to look at for a few days I would be waiting for a sale or discount as IMHO it is just not worth the price tag and i have no idea how they got to that price point.

Thanks for the advice! I hope you write a review here too Quote
cavegod Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 The review is exclusive to Brickset, I've somewhat fallen out with Eurobricks the last few months. Quote
Im a brickmaster. Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Has any one found some leaked pictures of next years sets yet? Nice looking B-wing. Quote
commdr_neyo Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Has any one found some leaked pictures of next years sets yet? Nice looking B-wing. Not even rumors, but I think we shall have them soon.. Quote
