They probably went to one of those places where you can just buy the bins and got 30 pounds of white legos.

edit:

look at the detail

Wow. How long would that have taken to set up?

I've seen it n person and know the builders. It is a sight to behold up close. I have 6 Lego AT-ATs but haven't had the time to build them.

I wish Legos would come out with those 5 minifig sets again.

Buying a bunch of AT-ATs or Snowspeeders just to get figures is very annoying and expensive.

heh, I wasn't the only one to think of making shield generators out of the 4 MF quadrents. Oh and ewwwwww, they used the new version MF. That thing is so ugly compared to the one that was already out.

I like the new MF better than the old one, personally. Now, I don't have the original to compare it to, but I do have the new one, and I just feel that it's nicer. The only thing that the original has better over the new one is the right scale mandibles. Otherwise, I think the new one looks better than the older one.

Dare to Compare: Original, New

Either way, though, that Hoth is a nice set-up. I'm not too big on the walkers, but I guess they were trying to create kind of a scale. It's just really hard to do scale for LEGO's, though.

...Wow.

I want....

Its horribly disproportionate, and looks like crap.

One can never spend too much time or money on Legos, it is impossible.

Cal Wright · Post by **Cal Wright** » 2004-11-07 03:56pm

OT real quick, I didn't realize they had a difference in the Falcon Lego's. If you had the time and money I could see buying both, and using the mandible setup off the first on the newer one producing a better looking Falcon.

One dissappointing fact is the Hasbro Falcon. I have the '97 release which is really the original with a new paintjob. The new release this year is the same way. Better paint job. If they went to all the trouble to make a 3 ft royal cruiser, why not make a scale Falcon, or at least something close.

If the walkers were to a bigger scale that would be a supremely kick ass Hoth. Right now its just damn good mainly because of the massiveness and effort put into it.

That terrain looks like the real bitch; to make the landscape probably took him/her at least 12-15 hours by hand. As for the other pieces, if they came in a kit, it probably only took him about 4-5 hours. If not, who knows- as long as it took him to figure out piece order. I'm guessing an additional 3-4 hours, since I remember it took me nearly twice as long to put together a lego castle a second time(first time I put it together with the guide) without the guide.
