Sam892 Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Ok you guys have convinced me, I've ordered the UCS Slave. Thanks to everyone for you recommendations. Quote
Kman860 Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Yea, some sets would be pain to operate without that thing. For example the republic frigate - almost nowhere to hold with hands. Even Venator has it, yet it looks quite weird already I think the handle on the venator is ok, but looks really funny when it's out :laugh: Quote
mediumsnowman Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 When do you guys think the UCS X-Wing will retire? I've been looking at it for a while but haven't pulled the trigger. Quote

JPN366 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 When you're waiting on 40 + pieces from Brick Owl and you ordered them 4 days ago and you can't start working on your MOD or even building the original model... Quote
Junior Shark Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Maybe the wrong place to post this, but Toys R Us has the Coruscant Police Gunship for $20 off at $34.99. Much easier to justify at that price. It's actually a decent set (at the discounted price). Quote

Junior Shark Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 I find even at full price it's a fairly decent set. Oh, for sure! I just wasn't ready to justify a parts pack with four hideodorous CW minifigures at full price. But that's just my opinion. I've already modded mine with a Rebels color scheme. To each his own, right? I think discounts make sets more decent for everyone, not matter who you are. Quote

I definately agree about the discount, but I usually buy mine first day, because I'm so impatient :laugh: Do you have any pics of the rebels version? Quote

Lolz. Yeah, I'll try and upload some pics of the Rebels version. FWIW, it more or less looks like this. Quote
pittpenguin123 Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 wish that gunship came with a commander fox. any one know if there are some phase 2 decals for him? Quote

pittpenguin123 Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 TLG official or otherwise? yah otherwise, i dont think they ever made fox I knew they were missing someone... rex was also in that sceen, but for the price they would have never put him in it with the other main characters Quote
Kman860 Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 yah otherwise, i dont think they ever made fox Fox was in one set....I think it was the homing spider droid, I think it was a TRU exculsive or something like that, and it was phase 1 fox too Quote
Junior Shark Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Fox was in one set....I think it was the homing spider droid, I think it was a TRU exculsive or something like that, and it was phase 1 fox too Yep Quote
_Samibotss_ Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Hello EB Users, Do you think it's managable to buy the Anakin's custom jedi starfighter, and not build the custom sections? I think the ship looks Ugly with those engines and little wings at the front... Would it be worth it? I've always wanted Anakin's JSF, but never got the chance to have one back in 2008 because I wasn't into LEGO. Quote
Lobot Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 I don't think this needs a dedicated thread, so I'll merge it later with the general Q&A one pinned to the top of the forum Quote

I think it can be done, you probably just need to change a handful of pieces to smooth it out though Quote

I've always wanted Anakin's JSF, but never got the chance to have one back in 2008 because I wasn't into LEGO. If you want to be sure, I think the best bet is to experiment with an LDD model of the kit. There's one here. Quote

Here you go: It wasn't as straightforward as I expected, Kman was right - a lot bits had to be changed. But the result is quite pleasing, probably as good as it can be with the construction TLG used. Several bits are added just for aesthetics and doesn't have to be there. Everything should be rigid and ready to be played with. Optionally, these spring loaded shooters can be added to the bottom of the wings - I personally don't like them so I didn't do that. Send me a PM if you are interested in LDD file, I'll be happy to send it to you Quote

jhaelego Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Does anyone know why we keep getting Angry Clone Trooper face for all the Star Wars armored troops? Regardless of the fact that Stormtroopers aren't CTs, I think all black head looks more accurate. I think the all black head with the face exposed was a really great compromise, and I'm confused as to why that wasn't used moving forward. Quote
