that x wing is such a bummer

i don’t have anything to add over what veni^3 said

i wish there was a cheap way to somehow get the printed canopy piece but whatever

good for people who don’t have one and want one though i guess

This, yes, this, hello Lego builders I know some of you don't want the Lego thread to be moved in general, which is fine imo!! But also I am super duper happy and excited to have you friends around here and I hope you have a great time posing about Lego with us!!

I for one enjoy having you guys around a lot, so what's the best food related thing you've ever built in Lego? A Lego hotdog? A weisswurst? Bread??
We like food around here, some of us eat it sometimes even, it's really a crazy habit

In true LEGO fashion, all our foods must be at least as long as one’s torso (hot dog) or longer (baguette). Alternatively, they can be the size of one’s leg (turkey leg).

Coffee may be consumed so long as the cup is two-thirds the volume of one’s head.

Hot frickin' drat this one looks so great. The proportions are so fantastic. I wonder how much of it I could build shifting parts out of my Imp base building materials.

uhh whoa yeah that's clearly gonna be $150 but I'm gonna buy it because I have a five year old and might also myself be a five year old

It's a bigger ask but if they made the same thing with the Wreck it Ralph comfy princess designs I would buy it again

That's wild, and completely against the 'don't give everybody everyone in a single set' thing that Lego has loved so much the last few years. Makes me wonder if the other Cinderella leaked castle is going to be as packed, unless that's what they're calling this one? Still a pretty wild departure.

Wasn't taken with the new X-Wing on first viewing but having watched Jang's video and seen the comparisons with the older ones I've decided it's good and I want it.

RacingBrick has a preview up now which I haven’t watched but he does good ones. Seems like he has moved from “gets car and Technic sets for review” to “gets any adult sets for review.”

There's also a new (?) mini scale Executor up there that looks pretty good, and not too bad a price/piece count for Star Wars.

It's mine, from my childhood - I was one of the kids that always requested LEGO for every gift, and because the prices in Denmark weren't that bad, I usually got some.
If I had room for it, I'd absolutely get it.

I see this R2D2 polybag going for around €10 on bricklink:



It feels like this would be a better scale match for the UCS X-Wing and looking at the greebling behind the tiny R2:



it doesn't look impossible to fit at least the 4x4 domed head piece. Might have to do this if/when I get it.

I tried to do this with the original UCS X-Wing and I’m terrible at building without instructions but I couldn’t figure it the gently caress out in a way that looked good

Well, of course I know him.

Something about the X-Wing itself feels off to me, but I can’t explain what. It almost looks too chunky and the wings are too stubby, I dunno.

For me, it's because the top and bottom of the nose are totally horizontal rather than angled, for example the slope of the top is supposed to continue the line of the canopy but the new one doesn't.

I think the actual overall proportions are closer than the old UCS BUT the nose not tapering right makes it look wrong?
