Has anyone determined what the best hair piece would be for Poe without his helmet? Apologies if this has already been asked by someone else?

I have just discovered the fun of collecting Lego again! Is the Stormtrooper Sergeant minifig polybag still around, or is that the sort of thing I'll have to find via a reseller or trade? My local TRU has dozens of the red-armed 3PO polybags, but no Stormtrooper Sergeant.

Same here. You'll probably have to resort to resellers or trade.

hi everyone

I wondered if there's anyone in the UK who'd offer the service to basically post me a complete bricklinked 10179 (with the usual cheapskate substitutions)

if you'd be up for doing this could you reply to this thread to how much it would be posted to me (I'm in Reading if you happen to be local and I could collect)

even better if you have access to a colour duplex printer and you could print and bind the pdf instructions since I'd hate to build this from my laptop ... LOL

:)

cheers

Raj

ps. edit : if it makes it more viable for whomever does it ... a friend of mine said he'd be up for one too ... so we'd like 2 sets plz :)

This is a joke, right?

I must have missed something, where is the inspiration for this joke?

Thanks,

Happy New Year,

Hi Raj, sorry can I clarify are you asking for someone to provide you with in effect a complete bricklinked 10179 'kit' ready for you to build plus hardcopy instructions? are you expecting to pay a markup for the effort of doing this or asking for someone to provide you at cost plus postage?

I'll pay whatever is a fair price in addition to the Lego parts itself ... actually a couple of my friends are now interested so it would be 3 sets ... I guess it might get to a point where I should just do it myself and just split the shipping for the various parts orders between the three of us

But if there's someone who'd be willing to do this then just let me know a price for 3 sets of bricklinked 10179's and we'll go from there

and no Andy ... not a joke ... cold hard cash waiting

:)

edit : I started looking into this earlier in the year ... got to making a spreadsheet with the parts and quantities but gave up once I started seeing that not all the parts were available new from Lego pick and brick / bricks and pieces ... and that I assumed there'd be a cheaper way if I buy parts in bulk from non lego group websites ... if there's anyone in the who done a whole 10179 from scratch and still has their order lists then it should be easier for them to do it and we're ok to pay a fair premium for the privilege

Hi,

If you're looking to buy a Bricklinked version, have you tried Ebay? They're regularly advertised, and with a bit of luck you should be able to find one at around £8-900. I've Bricklinked a couple in the last few years and if you're looking for a relatively accurate one, using new parts, it would be in the region of £650 so if you're happy to pay for someone's time, you're likely to end up being in a similar price range to Ebay. If you're seriously interested I'd totally recommend sourcing it all yourself, it's a great challenge! There's several threads here on Eurobricks, and if you a standard Google search you'll find a wealth of other information available. My on reservation is that you may run into problems finding sufficient parts if you're going to attempt 3 at once (15,000 parts are a lot!) and some you'll need are relatively rare...

For future reference there's a Q&A thread pinned to the top of this forum; I'll merge this with it in a bit

Since there won't be an official minifig of him for some time... how to do Lor San Tekka? What head, what torso...?

thanks for the info

since you've done this in the UK, what would you suggest the order should be on where to get the parts from ? have you a few websites you could list and I'll start working on the spreadsheet to track everything

:)

[Lobot]

Here's a thread that you may find useful (link) I'm almost tempted to offer to do this for you.....!

To minimise the cost you'll need to use a combination of Bricklink, and the two LEGO ordering services 'Pick a Brick' and 'Bricks and Pieces'. Unfortunately the latter is currently closed and probably won't be open again until the end of January based on the last couple of years (it isn't currently shown on the link I included!).

I'd strongly recommend that you check each part on both LEGO sites as the price will vary in some instances. Generally speaking though, small elements (technic pins, greebling parts etc) are far cheaper on Bricklink if you want to start immediately, but tiles and larger plates will be cheaper via LEGO. If you look at the thread I wrote, it includes details of the parts I ordered from them. You should also bear in mind that LEGO has a flat-rate postal charge, so if you order heavier parts from Bricklink the postage can become prohibitive, especially from abroad (even if they are a little cheaper than from LEGO!). If you haven't already found a parts list, there's one on Bricklink (here) which you can copy directly into Excel.

to any one who keeps saying why do the rebels storm troopers have that frown. they are based off a difent type of storm trooper. IRL they where just stunt doubles that had a big frown in the movie. they based the rebels design off of the stunt double to say that like phase 2 armor. the stunt double was slightly older armor and by the time of anh not every storm trooper upgraded yet.

Does anyone know where I can get 75105 on Amazon for its regular, $150 price tag? Everywhere I look it's (for some odd reason) grossly overpriced compared to retail.

[benjiv1]

I'm sure this has been covered before, but I couldn't see anything recent...

Does anyone have a good suggestion on a way to display some of my sets?

I got a bunch of the Force Awakens sets for Christmas, but I'm having difficulty finding a nice way to display them in my man cave.

As I'm typing this, I just thought, maybe floating shelves, with some fishing line?

Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated!

Floating shelves work great, I have these http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70103622/ and they work great for individually displaying UCS set. Just make sure you have them anchored to the wall

Were Resistance Troopers on the ground fighting during the Battle of Takodana? I can't remember.

Hard to tell. I think we only saw Leia's transport landing and by that time the Stormtroopers had pretty much retreated. So I would say no, considering it was the only transport on screen in the whole movie (iirc)

[ShrikeArghast]

I have the money to get one Star Wars Lego set for the foreseeable future: which should I get? The Star Destroyer or the First Order Transport? I see significant advantages and disadvantages to both.

What's the cheapest way to get LEGO Star Wars The Clone wars sets sealed? From sites like amazon... (2007 - 2013)

[Only Sinner]

Well, this doesn't really need it's own thread, but Bricklink would be your best bet, and ebay sometimes has a good deal, too. Just depends on which sets you want, really.

[Only Sinner]

Depends if you want First Order or Imperials. I have both right next to each other and the ISD makes a much nicer display piece for sure.
