inversion Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 This is LEGO's best designer video to date. It feels like an actual designer video instead of just a commercial narrated by the designer. Although at some times still a bit goofy for my taste (those SW poses with the lightsabers... no thanks). 2 Quote
scatttcat Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 Man I would kill to take my graphic design career to Lego. Lucky dude. Designing minifigs and sticker pieces sounds like a dream Quote
MJO24 Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 Seems like it would be awesome to work there overall, but I couldn’t imagine working on 1 project for three straight years. That’d be draining. Quote

Okay, I'm used to the price-difference between Germany (€200) vs Netherlands/Belgium (€230). But I can't figure out why Portugal would get it cheaper than Spain ? And while Spain and Netherlands may feel getting the bad deal, it's even more expensive in Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland ... Expand Seriously.. I dont think that anybody in CZE who would like to have it - would pay the full price -- shortly after the release it will be on all classifieds with at least 20 % off Quote
kumas Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 I live near Austria so I can wait until it is 160€ in TRUs there, RRP here is 235€ Quote

I don't think TRUs are getting any new stock. They aren't in the USA. Quote
exracer327 Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 So I'm curious, for those who own 10134, after watching the video above, does the old one have greebling on the bottom side like the new one does? I didn't think the original had landing gear either. Now that I've seen the video, I think the engines are the correct length and look good. The set definitely reminds me of the movie. I don't have the original but I think I'll be good with this new one. Quote

I like some features of the new one, but I like some pieces on the old one. Quote

That’d be draining. Expand It is very unlikely that he was working on that single thing the whole time. They have multiple approval and iteration rounds, waiting for new pieces, etc. Because of these, to fill the gaps, he is probably having 4-5 sets in the works at any point in time.

I'm not sure if it will though as they look puny and not substantial like the Falcon per se. Is the cockpit canopy printed and did anyone else notice the engines/thrusters sagging in the video? Quote
Shewie Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 I've found those "confidential" blueprints he got exclusively to work on this model for the last three years! But shh... it's just between us. 3 Quote
OCD_Chad Posted May 3, 2018 Posted May 3, 2018 What happened to the white pieces on the front of the engines? Quote

Expand If you're talking about the pieces that sort of wrap around the back edges of the engine caps, yeah, I'm bummed they're not on the new one either. I wonder if it can be MOC'd. I do like that the new engines are less blocky and are actually round now. Quote

Expand Yeah now that’s funny-lol Nice to see the same Canopy from 50 years ago lol...But seriously the more I think about it the 10134 still holds great appeal and although I got my 75181 in the mail today, I think the differences between the 2 will compliment each other displayed together, especially since no two y-wing are alike anyway in cannon Star Wars. On a side Note my Black Star Wars VIP promotion of the y-wing blueprint was also sent and I was a bit suprised it wasn’t an actual poster but an 8 1/2” x 11” heavy stock glossy print....don’t get me wrong it’s still very nice but was just expecting a “blueprint big” thing. heck I’m happy we got somthin -lol Quote
Vinetu Posted June 14, 2018 Posted June 14, 2018 Hey guys, anyone knows how many of these per shipping box? While at it, is it the same box size as for the 75144 Snowspeeder? Thanks! Quote

Harley Quinn Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 Can't bring myself to buy this one, especially when you can still get the Rogue One version on discount at a lot of places. Quote
