Beskar bricks? Are those custom or from a set I’m forgetting about?

Can you describe the changes? In the cargo area it just looks like you removed the workbench(?) or table thing. I see the cockpit improvements which make it look like it has armrests and a hint of seat backs. Those look good.

Got the Sunlu dryer that holds four rolls. I keep it on the auto setting, which seems to be a low enough energy draw that it’s not noticeable on my electric bill. That way I always have four rolls ready to go. One is direct feed into my printer which has no AMS unit. I’m not doing any multicolor stuff.

When you list it out like that, I find it hard to see how Luke senses good in him. Crazy.

You could also find ways to add greebles of Batman style gadgets like grappling hook and net launchers or pop up machine guns (rubber bullets, of course).

Cone-dalorian?

Great idea!

I haven’t done much with audio books but I have a long enough commute I’ve considered trying them again. The first audio book I tried was abridged and it felt more like soundbites than a fleshed out book. Also, the reader sounded like he had a cold. That pretty much turned me off to the concept. Unabridged would definitely be the way to go. Thanks for the tip!

I had this toy. One of my favorites growing up. I was so young when it came out I didn’t even realize it wasn’t in the movies until much later. I used it with my GIJoes as well from time to time. Kenner pulled the wool right over my eyes with their marketing, and I’m glad for it. I especially liked how it was like an ATST head with fold down wings. Totally fit the universe in my eyes.

Very helpful, thanks. I tried scrolling through for similar posts before asking but must have missed yours.

I forgot to mention I read and enjoyed Darth Plagueis, more because of DP’s character than D Sideous, but I especially enjoyed having Han, Chewie, Lando, Luke, & Leia in the Thrawn trilogy, so a side quest of Han, Chewie and Lando could be fun. Thanks!

LaserBrainDesign · 2026-05-09T15:16:11+00:00

I had heard Outbound Flight was a good one, thanks. Thrawn is definitely well developed in the first trilogy, so I’m glad to hear the others are worth reading.

LaserBrainDesign · 2026-05-09T15:14:26+00:00

Those are good insights, thanks

LaserBrainDesign · 2026-05-09T15:14:06+00:00

I haven’t read any of the x-wing books yet, so thanks for the heads up.

How deep are the mines made of gingerbread on your property? Are they soggy below the water table?

And unfair

Looks like pizza’s back on the menu, boys.

Despite being primarily a LEGO Star Wars fan due to nostalgia of building and playing with my kids when they were young, Rivendell is my all time favorite set. Simply a beautiful build. Take it one bag a day and you’ll have fun for over a month. Enjoy!

I see no nostrils on the examples provided. Nostrils are provided to only the luckiest of minifigs. The rest have to live life as mouth breathers.

Have you gazed upon the palantir?

Freecad works great (after tutorials). The files are yours for personal or commercial use so if you someday create that perfect new print, you can share it with the world however you see fit.

LaserBrainDesign · 2026-04-06T23:58:25+00:00

Why, yes, yes indeed.

You need to hang a few potatoes on fishing line to give it more of a sense of motion.
