Star Wars Lego Sets Part 7. Naboo Fighter. Set #7141

Naboo Fighter. Set #7141

Well it's been a while since my last review and witht he AC down and my Room in shambles, That has been the reason and focus as of late. But I'll nail this one out for the fun of it. A set I had got just for the droids, The naboo fighter. I have every set and every Droid made to date for lego. this being the last set needed until the Giant Droid carrier just came out with a total of 20 of the buggers. I present to you a fun, small and enjoyable set, It comes with a R2, Anakin in Pilot helmet, the original Naboo Fighter, and two droids and a cart. All are perfect for a 30 minute build, and adds more troops to an already massive army. I will be taking a shot soon enough of the entire Droid forces. It will be neet, before hand I will be featuring all the sets they are featured in. This being one of them.

Star Wars Lego Sets Part 6. The Millennium Falcon Set #7190

The Millennium Falcon Set #7190 – 2000.

A find for me and a half, this is one set I was able to get from a Buddy, and I'm glad I did. It was the first release of the famous smugglers ship, and at the time I snagged it, the leia figure alone, the only version of her like this made, went easily for seventy dollars on E-bay. I know, who and the hell would pay that for a tiny Lego figure, but people did. Not me, I am lucky enough to have a good buddy who runs across awesome deals and passes em on to me, Druss is his log in on Yojoe.com <http://yojoe.com/> and he has his very own website for sales. So any how, advertisement done, he hooked me up with the falcon and I've loved it ever sense, as my wife has stated, it is one of the coolest ships ever made in any Sci Fi, it is all mostly engine and the crew is just as unique, The set featured the Leia figure above mentioned, Han, Luke, Chewie, 3P0 and R2. It features a tool chest, escape pod, a Chess table, gear, and tons of play features. I do truly enjoy this set, The landing gear is less than desirable, but I think they fixed that with the second release. So below enjoy the action shots of the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxie. The finale two photos are figures exclusive to the second millennium falcon set released. of course the Snow trooper is added with an extra snow trooper and my Custom laser E Web blaster with generator. then there are the Han and Leia hoth Lego figures. I got these because i didn't want to fork out the money for a whole different millennium falcon but I did how ever want the three exclusive figures with the set, so these are the extras I have from a set I do not own, Enjoy.

Star Wars Lego Sets Part 5. Tie Fighter 7146 and 7263.

Tie Fighter 7146 – 2001 and 7263 – 2005

The Lego Tie Fighter is a fantastic set. The first produced came with a Storm trooper and an actual Tie Fighter landing column, when I get time, and more time, I will reproduce a few of these for all of my Lego Tie's, The interceptor Bomber and Vader's tie (although not owned yet eventually I will snag it) The tie fighter was not only produced in the two stated above sets but also with a four pack from LEGO direct, along with Vader's fighter and a Droid Tie fighter, I do not have this set yet, so I'll just cover the two I do have. The second made in 2005 came with a limited Vader and light up saber, a concept enjoyed by collectors like my self. It did however not come with the Tie fighter stand. The fighters are also constructed a tad different, small variations make them not identical. Again side by side they are hardly noticeable yet upon closer inspection one could notice different parts. Again both are a must have for an Imperial collector like my self. Enjoy photos of each set separately then Side by Side.

Star Wars Lego Sets Part 4. Set #7127 Imperial ATST 2001 and Set # 7657 ATST

Set #7127 Imperial ATST (Original Version) 2001 and
Set # 7657 ATST - 2007

One of the harder Lego sets to snag now a days for a decent price, the original ATST was one of the smaller sets, originally selling for fewer than twenty dollars this set easily a year ago went for over seventy in the secondary markets. Until the release of the newer ATST which is far bigger and comes with an ATST Pilot and Lego's new sculpt of a laser rifle.

Why does LEGO retire sets? I have no clue, yet it adds to the collectibility to each set and gives collectors more shelf room at retail stores to be able to buy newer sets every year. The First ATST was for a while the only way to get the chicken walker, and it featured a Chewbacca figure, which was either way a really cool trooper to own. Below are photos of each ATST on its own starting with the first released one with chewy followed by the bigger of the two, and then both in a side by side shot for a size comparison, (the smaller of the two could always be used as an Imperial ATPT, the smaller single personal carrier walker for non Star Wars geeks) or just as a trainer for your troops, that's the fun with legos, or any toy for that matter, it's all up to your imagination!

Star Wars Lego Sets Part 3. Set #7261-1 Clone Turbo Tank.

Star Wars Lego Sets Part 3. Set #7261-1 Clone Turbo Tank.

Well this would be my third Favorite set. The Clone turbo Tank. The first version I have came with a Light up Light saber mace Windu. They no longer make that version because kids got pissed his light saber didn't last forever. Stacey gave me the ok To pick this set up right before it was no longer sold. I scored the big one on this one. Also the cool turret that rides inside the vehicle for deployment in battle can not be beat. The clone Pilot featured in the clone turbo tank is a figure not originaly delivered with that set yet an extra from a friend who I added to the set to pilot the vevicle.

Star Wars Lego Sets Part 2. Set #4482 – ATTE

Set #4482 – ATTE

This is Lego's best failure ever. A Lego set made strictly for display. Lego's are meant for kids to play with, not collectors like me to set on a shelf forever. This set is awesome in the fact it has a lot of nook and crannies to play with, A Tool area, A Speeder bike hanger, a Troop bay, But just try to move any leg or door on this behemoth and all the parts just fall all to hell. Would I recommend it for display yes!! But for a kid to play with? Unless the dad wanted to know how to reassemble all 700 pieces by heart, I don't think so.

Star Wars Lego Sets Part 1. Set #7163 Republic Gun Ship.

Set #7163 Republic Gun Ship. By J.King.

Now for my Most Favorite set to date. I love this set, to build to zoom after my dogs, it is the crème of the collection. I was able to pick it up a year ago for about 100 dollars. When it hit the shelves it was 88.00 dollars and Stace always said, get it or you'll be kicking your self later. Well Later came and I had the money and I hunted, I couldn't find one for fewer than 170.00 dollars. I hunted and hunted until one day I was at lunch in Burlington and I walked into our only crappy comic shop and there in their small and always limited toy section was a in the box Lego Gun ship for 100 dollars. The box was banged up but I ended up selling that for ten dollars on Bricklink. So in all reality the set cost me 90.00. Now if your trying to find one to buy you can easily expect to spend upward of 200 to 300 dollars for a loose one even higher for it boxed. But money has nothing to do with it seeing I will hold on to this set for some time! Now the only issue I had was that the set came with only 4 troopers. It's a Gun ship/drop ship for God sake, how can only four troopers come with it! Easily solved with bricklink.com I added an entire force!! Enjoy the picts!

Customized Legos.

Lego Customs.

I'll get these out of the way because they are short and sweet. I never was a massive LEGO customizer, I did three or four sets I kept as a kid for my Classic space guys, one was a memorable Blue pieced Missile launcher type vehicle, Yet when the Tri Pod cannon came out by Lego with the snow trooper set, I couldn't believe the lack on legos part to have such a sad looking and horribly colored E-Web blaster. In the movie, as the snow troopers were setting it up, you thought, 'Oh Shit Han better get the hell out of there before they get that thing set up." So I decided to make one as menacing, along with the generator that wasn't produced by Lego. So that's the first shot, my version of the E-web as featured on rebelscum.com. The only mod I did that isn't in this shot is the cable running from the generator to the gun, but you get the point.

The Second one isn't that much of a custom as I had bought a Lego set a year or so back and the head and helmet was missing from a figure, so I made a helmet less clone.

Clones on Kashyke.

Lego Custom Knights.

One of My hobbies is building Lego People, and any set from the castle line classics, none of the new stuff. Below are four custom Lego people I've made. Basically you take spare parts and put em together in cool sets to build a certain character. The first is just a plane Black falcon Axe man, only difference from him and the old is that he has a pair of blue pants, none were ever made with blue only black, Then there is the figure I dubbed Joan of Ark, she is basically made out of the original Knight suite, I gave it a girl head and hair and walla, Finally there are my Black Falcon King and Queen. The Black Falcons never got justice with a King or Queen so now by mix and matching pieces from on line I give you both the King and Queen. Enjoy.

Spartan Warrior.

Well this is my first built from Scratch figure. I'm working on nine more. All unique War faces. Every part was built from separate sets to make the best looking Spartan created, of course Lego doesn't make Bronze sadly, or his helmet would be bronze and not black, along with the shield. But these work for a Lego, I need to get a better sticker cutter to get the Shield more uniformed but as My Ninja Boss said, it gives it a war damaged look, I will post more photos when the squad is assembled.

Star Wars Vintage Micro Collection. 1982. - Hoth Generator Attack.

Star Wars Vintage Micro Collection. 1982. - Hoth Generator Attack.

By J.King.

A Guilty Pleasure I call these. Small Micro Play Sets from Kenner made of Die Cast Figures and Pretty cool plastic play sets and vehicles made to fall apart from explosions, Kenners way of trying to key into the micro collections of the eighties. Many Mini toys were made in this time of the eighties, This was Kenners answer. The guilty part of it all is how inexpensive they are now. Compared to their Vintage 3 and 3/4 brothers, these baby's can go for next to nothing complete and mint on E-bay. Take for instance the below set I'm starting this thread off with, One of the Hoth system Sets (Kenner came out with three conectable series, Hoth, Bespin, and The Death Star) this set has an original price tag of 2.99 WOW what I would do with a time machine, and unbelievably you can find them for only mere dollars more on e-bay, JUST BEWARE of conventions or back yard collectors. Many will claim these are worth hundreds! Do not believe or trust them or be crazy enough to buy them from some freak who claims this! I had a friend from yojoe who though he got a good deal by spending two hundred on a hoth play set...... Not complete... when he found on ebay for fifty he could buy the complete one!

Well enough of Collecting babble, here is complete and NEAR Mint, The First Micro collection set I have, The Hoth Generator play set, complete with blow apart ATST and (Strutting Darth Vader) Acording to the Carded box.
