Rogue One was quite a box office success, its Lego-sets not so much. While that’s not so good for TLG’s profit projections, it is a nice opportunity for us customers to get a set or two, that would be otherwise prohibitively costly. Like this lovely Y-Wing. When assembling it, which went just as expected without… Read More Review: Y-Wing Starfighter (75172)
Amongst other things I was busy with building a successor to the Andromeda, a project that is, with all its redesigns challenges and more redesigns, definitely worth a longer post on its own. But today I show you what I built immediately after I finished it (for now!). Contrary to the Andromeda II, this one… Read More Classic Space Starfighter
Astrid’s Starfighter might be fast and stealthy, but an interstellar crime syndicate needs also some serious firepower to run their business. This is where the Blacktron Marauder comes into play: a small, but heavily armed corvette. Ideal for lightning fast attacks that hammer down your shields and have you facing a boarding commando taking every… Read More The Return of Blacktron! (Part 2)
Now this is a weird little critter. No, not Yoda. I mean his starfighter of course! According to Star-Wars-lore, it is based on the ETA-2 Actis Class Interceptor, flown by Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi in Episode III, but smaller in size. Just like its pilot. Assisted by an astromech droid (in this case good… Read More Review: Yoda’s Jedi Starfighter (75168)
For quite a while I wasn’t really interested in the Star Wars Microfighters. The Minifigs were usually unremarkable and the builds didn’t really appeal to me either. This changed with the Ghost Microfighter from the series Rebels with Hera Syndulla. Just too cute to give it a pass! For this year my awwww-synapses have been… Read More Review: Series 4 Y-Wing Microfighter (75162)
Since the prices for certain Lego Star Wars sets are borderlining silly (or way beyond that), I am quite happy doing my own interpretations of them. Like this one: a small, medium-range transport ship, which has been largely adapted by smugglers and such scum! I happily admit that I strayed quite away from the look of… Read More A Workhorse in Space
Since my childhood days I always had an affinity on darker things. My favourite Minifigure was wearing black, the Dragon Knights were so much cooler than the Lion Knights and when Blacktron invaded Lego Space, I was so excited by these guys and their black space-suits. They were just super-cool and super-menacing, even if I… Read More The Return of Blacktron! (Part 1)
The landing gear on my dieselpunk-inspired X-Wing was a last minute addition and I was never really happy with it and went back and forth over the last couple of months, looking for the right balance between looks and stability: The first variant was, while super-sturdy, way too chunky for that little ship and looked not… Read More X-Wing Landing Gear Fix
I had my eyes on this set for quite a while. I really like TIE Fighters and Darth Vader’s TIE Advanced is probably, my favourite one. The price for this set however… was just ridiculous until now. Anyway. Lets have a closer look at it! The set is based on the Rebels TV series, featuring an A-Wing… Read More Review: Darth Vader’s TIE Advanced and A-wing Fighter (75150)
My friend Moondog got quite inspired by my spaceship pictures and sent them on a couple more missions: One thing for sure: They get around! There may be more adventures of our space travellers in the future, so stay ready for more transmissions!
