Dosenbrot Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Nice, I too recolored one of my 2 Eta-2 Fighters to dark red, now I just need a reason to buy the new one... Quote
Lynx Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 I'm in the middle of changing Kylo Ren's shuttle to its black colour scheme. I'm still missing some bricks, but I'd say it's 95% completed. I took four photos but haven't used flickr in ages and simply don't have the nerve to set up a new account/ work out the program for a few pictures. If anybody has any interest in sharing those photos on Eurobricks (in case anybody is considering the colour swap and wants an idea whether it's worth it), you're most welcome to send me a PM with your email address and can post the pics in here.

Imgur doesn't require an account, and is probably easier. I wonder how long until we get a shuttle remake. Obviously not soon, but I think the inaccuracies are pretty significant. Quote
markw Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I was looking at the reduced SW toys in Sainsburys and spotted a Kylo Ren shuttle in brilliant white! Everyone has missed the mark on this one. Quote
Rebel Builder Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I built Poe's X-Wing in blue and gray, if anyone is interested in taking a look. Quote
darththeling Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Based on the better glimpse at the windscreen in the newest trailer, I tried modifying Kylo's Shuttle to resemble the final version. Not sure it works but I want to keep trying. From what we've seen in the non-Lego toys, the windscreen seems more angular along the top and distinctively red. Makes the craft more badass, IMO.

just2good Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 For those wanting an X-Wing in the blue color, there will be a microfighter of it next year. Quote
namioik Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 For those wanting an X-Wing in the blue color, there will be a microfighter of it next year. What about the other microfighter from EPI 7? Quote
Robianco Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 For those wanting an X-Wing in the blue color, there will be a microfighter of it next year. Does that mean there's a cheap Resistance pilot to go with that? ;) Quote
Tariq j Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Does that mean there's a cheap Resistance pilot to go with that? ;) Let's hope so! I'd like to see some more of them. Darththeling: Nice MOD, I'm hoping to MOD mine soon. Quote
just2good Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 What about the other microfighter from EPI 7? First Order Snow Speeder Does that mean there's a cheap Resistance pilot to go with that? ;) Yes! Quote
ChiefPie Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Man, I was pretty sure the FO microfighter was going to be a tie fighter! Quote
DarthPotato Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 For those wanting an X-Wing in the blue color, there will be a microfighter of it next year. Yes, I called it! Do you know if the pilot's the same as the one from Poe's X-Wing? Does he have a new face/helmet? Quote
just2good Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Yes, I called it! Do you know if the pilot's the same as the one from Poe's X-Wing? Does he have a new face/helmet? Not sure. Quote
DarthPotato Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Not sure. I'll be holding out for a new one then. Thanks for the info! Even though the Snowspeeder's sort of a lame choice for the other Microfighter, I think it could at least be a good opportunity for people to pick up a Snowtrooper if they didn't want to go for the full size model.

namioik Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 First Order Snow Speeder Thanks for the news! Quote
Venkefedo Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Yes, I called it! Do you know if the pilot's the same as the one from Poe's X-Wing? Does he have a new face/helmet? There are three options for new pilots I can see, if they don't just use the generic pilot from the Poe set: Greg Grunberg's pilot character thought to be named "Gorwyn" (no jokes about his appearance, please--they've already been made ten thousand times), the Abednedo pilot Ello Asty, or--if they go more of a "Han in the Falcon, Hera in the Ghost" route, Poe himself with a new helmet, in his jacket rather than his flight suit. Some Hasbro figures have him in that outfit with that helmet, intended to pair with a blue & white X-wing. If they go the generic route, I hope the helmet is unique at least. Quote
Tariq j Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 First Order Snow Speeder Yes! Sweet! It will be good to gets some generic troopers for a low price. Quote
markw Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Man, I was pretty sure the FO microfighter was going to be a tie fighter! Would have been nice, but I guess the TIE advanced Microfighter put paid to it, couldn't really have two in the same wave. Edited October 23, 2015 by markw Quote
CM4Sci Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 For those wanting an X-Wing in the blue color, there will be a microfighter of it next year. So that's what 'blue' meant... nice to know, thanks J2G! Quote
benderisgreat Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 First Order Snow Speeder Yes! Snowspeeder? I though it was going to be FO TIE fighter for sure. No I won't be able to get FO pilot for cheap. Quote
TheAmazingDarkKnight Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Dang, so I guess we're going to have to make our own Special Orders Tie Pilot after all. Quote

Thanks for sharing! I didn't even know you could get those cheese slopes in trans-red. I currently have a black tile sitting atop the window and would love to change it. Quote
CM4Sci Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Called my local TRU - they say the polybag comes in on November 1st. They also mentioned something about an AT-DP coming this Sunday. Quote
Something_Awesome Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I built Poe's X-Wing in blue and gray, if anyone is interested in taking a look. Love it! What you did for stickers was simple, yet brilliant! Quote
