Vader Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 Finally they release the jedi starfighter, im glad to see that we will get it at last :) Quote
Lord Thrawn Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 I will ask for this instead of an easter egg. Yeah! Quote
jonfett Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 I got mine today, delivered from Argos direct! *satis* I have looked at the box for ages now and it is so beautiful! :') I will post my opinions once I have built it later tonight. Jon. Quote
Sarg_Kulo Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 The ship is beautiful, I finished mine on Sat and I'm in love with it, one thing tho: I don't Like where the R5 droid is. just doesn't seem right. And I ove the way the S-Foils open and that thingy at the back controls them and the bombs. Anyway, I have one question: When during the clone war were these used. E.G two years in 1 year or ....?

jonfett Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 Man, I just finished building this set and it is awesome! It took me around an hour, a bit longer than I though it would, but it looks great. Pro's. I really like the wing mechanism and the new elastic bands are actually strong.. so they won't wear out in a months time. The cockpits are good and I like the printed display screens. It is a big set, about 50cm wide, so it is almost twice the width of the x-wing. The pilots are so cool, I really like the new helmet mold and the torso pattern looks good too. Con's. The dark green bit at the front looks wierd.. and the printed tile in front is a lighter shade of green so it looks out of place. There is no landing gear, which is a shame. So you can't display it in attack mode (unless you get a glass! :-D) The wings are a little loose, but hopefully I can fix that up. Overall, a great set! Well worth Quote

Vader Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 Hey stop knocking the glass it has an extra purpose now and its very happy in its duel roll :-D The lack of a landing gear is indeed a shame but one that can be overcome likewise with the wings they can be strenghtend, when you look at other sets that have been released these 2 problems are very small. :) If the rest of the new sets are as good as this one then were in for one of the best years in a long time. :) Quote
Ras 74 Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 Just rub it in Jon, just rub it in... We already know that you are "sad" for us. but we dont belive you ;) And to Vader: glas, glas, glas, glas, glas... hehehe... Just coulden Quote
ApophisV Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 One more CON tho. One of the one sud slopes on the side of mine has cracked already, just great |-/ Just call up the Replacement Service, or use the the website, I made only good experiences with it.... Very friendly people working there... :) Quote
mutley777 Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 the argos website says it is sold out but if you add it to basket and proceed to checkout it says in stock and only 2 day delivery. :P just ordered mine. Quote
Lord Thrawn Posted February 1, 2005 Posted February 1, 2005 So long, I'll ride off in my NEW arc170! HAAAAAHHAHAHAH! Sorry, I'm n not feelng vvery well. I'm too excited! This is one awesome set! The problem is that you can see through under the couckpits. Oh well, the rest is super! Quote
Darth Drew Posted February 1, 2005 Posted February 1, 2005 So much for getting the sets March 1. Lego changed the date to April 2. :'( Quote
Jipay Posted February 1, 2005 Posted February 1, 2005 You are correct, this bunch of bastards changed the date of release !! I have when they do that, it shows that they have real internal problems in term of communication. I'm sure now that as always we will find the sets in store before they appear on shop at home (and as always, they will miss sales on S@H) Quote
Orlego Posted February 1, 2005 Posted February 1, 2005 You are correct, this bunch of bastards changed the date of release !! I have when they do that, it shows that they have real internal problems in term of communication.I'm sure now that as always we will find the sets in store before they appear on shop at home (and as always, they will miss sales on S@H) You are right Jipay and the problem is worse than you might expect. It has been getting better over the last few months but it is still very bad. It is one of the main reasons why Lego has been loosing a ton of money, esp. in terms of communication with the supply and shipping departments. Quote
Ras 74 Posted February 1, 2005 Posted February 1, 2005 Well, but we also know that the sets has been available a lot earlier then the date on S@H. Remember the TIE Collection for instance... And what is another month to be sad for... Ghhhaaaa.... *tearing me hair of* Quote
jonfett Posted February 1, 2005 Posted February 1, 2005 the argos website says it is sold out but if you add it to basket and proceed to checkout it says in stock and only 2 day delivery. :P just ordered mine. hehe :P Yes this is true. I ordered mine from the webiste on Thursday and got it yesterday, so they must not be out of stock!? Jon. Quote
Vader Posted February 1, 2005 Posted February 1, 2005 Its a case of the left hand dosent know what the right ones doing, it screams poor business to me :( Quote
mutley777 Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 just finished building this awsome set. even with out seeing the film i want a fleet of these. :P Quote
Ras 74 Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 It sounds so nice when you are talking like that... I really think this can be a good LEGO SW year... Quote
mutley777 Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 i think people are just happy to get a load of new sets instead of redeisgns :) Quote
Darth Drew Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 We did get one remake this year, but we do have all of these great NEW sets coming. Quote
DoubleT Posted February 2, 2005 Author Posted February 2, 2005 What Remake is that? If your thinking of the Vatluredroid, its an newer version, not an remake Quote
jonfett Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 Erm.. the tie fighter! :| :P again!! Jon. Quote
DoubleT Posted February 2, 2005 Author Posted February 2, 2005 Well ups yes ;) But for me the Tie sets has stoped being sets ;) Quote
