Congrats dude, loved your build!

Love this thread, thought I would post my small run of factory sealed mini Star Wars play sets.

Think I got them around 1999? :?

I loved some of those mini sets. The two Jabbas Palace sets where from 2003 and specifically designed to clip into either side of the larger #4480 Jabbas Palaces set. If you have the 'wings' you have to get the main set. I remember running all over London to get these, finally finding them in Harrods and getting all three for something like £40, fantastic price concidering the pieces and figures and of course the first ever Lego 'slave Leia'.

Yeah thanks I thought it might have been a bit later than 1999! Think my sister gave them to me for Christmas one year.

OK, more of a brag than a Lego post but my entry in the Brickset 'Whats missing' SW Lego build completion actually won 3rd place, pretty chuffed about that, there were a lot of good entires.

Congratulations, looks fantastic 8)

Have to agree that Tie Bomber looks the bomb 8)

There are definitely some master builders out there

I built my first ever bit of Star Wars lego last night with my daughter. It was the Reys speeder from The Force Awakens. Absolutely loved it and I couldn't believe how many pieces there were and how detailed it was. So cleverly designed. We had a blast, I think I'm hooked!

 

[robpmarsh]

Picked up both V-Wing variants recently....now to buy the regular ships too!

 

[theforceuk]

Very nice Rob, are you going to build them?

Guys just a heads up, went into sainsburys and they've got the first order snowspeeder down to £16 from £40 to make way for new stock...suffice to say I bought one quite quick!

I assume that's a UCS one?

 

[monkey_roo]

It is indeed. May 1st release for the May 4th promo week, although oddly it is the only SW Lego set that will have no discount on it during the promotion week so it will cost c£170.
More interesting is the romour that in Oct a new UCS Millenium Falcon at c$800 is heading our way. That would make it a £600+ set I. The U.K. If true?

 

[monkey_roo]

2 little Lego builds. I don't normally go for polybags (other than specific figures) but these two are great builds, recommend both to anyone...

 

[Bunglebubs]

The R2 is really cool, it was a freebie if you bought from Lego directly, they are now offering a R3-M2 figure if you buy any Star Wars items

 

[tobedesu]

Lego store in London.

 

[Spookedhippie]

Damn it, how to get THAT display!?

 

[robpmarsh]

Looking for Rebels stuff....mainly The Ghost and The Phantom

Interested in both individual sets as well as the 2-in-1 that was released

Open box is fine

 

[robpmarsh]

Picked up this great set today

 

[MarkG]

Not a set, but knocked this one up the other day as a homage to the vintage first 12. Probably as I'll never own a real display at current prices..

Backdrop was found off the web, and the name plate is custom made. All other parts are genuine LEGO.
I did stick this on FB a few days back, so sorry for not posting it here sooner..

Still need to get a yellow saber for Luke.

 

[Spookedhippie]

Dude that is awesome! I want one!

 

[robpmarsh]

[robpmarsh]

Aye daughter came running through to show me - so we know he's normal sized now plus she loved the black bb droid

 

[db94]

Finished my daughters Falcon today - seriously impressed and could easily get hooked on Lego. Now the Falcon in finished we've realised she doesn't have any free shelf space so I've volunteered to display it in my room until she makes space

 

[robpmarsh]

Saw this in my local TRU.....looks great but not worth £50!
