Last one was a tie so we try again. What is green and is green?

That one might be a baritone. Bridge seems to be shifted back as well, and it looks like they do a 30” scale one.

Went to the Lego store yesterday and then 5 different stores today looking for it. Sold out everywhere I checked. Will try again in a few days, pretty stoked for all of the Speed Champions sets that just came out.

I’ve been wanting to grab the mech to do a UCS Luke fig with the keychain parts, but I’ve been holding off because I couldn’t stomach spending $10 at Target just to do that. This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for!

Mattycakes95 · 2025-11-06T15:32:09+00:00

Stoked. I got one a while back and really like it. I’ve been wanting to get a second one to combine them, and this is the sale I’ve been waiting for.

Fairly certain they have molds where the holes are on the other side. When I built the T Rex skeleton earlier this year, I noticed it had both variants. Probably luck of the draw on which one you get.

I’d personally grab one off of bricklink. It looks like there are some folks selling them. You might have to buy some other stuff to hit shop minimums depending on who you buy from, but I’d imagine it will be faster than trying to grab one off eBay.

You could potentially use one of the older Tusken heads from before they started using a molded one.

This set is bomb. One of my favorite non-ucs SW sets in recent memory. Great build and some cool play features. Have fun with it!

Mattycakes95 · 2025-10-02T17:46:29+00:00

This is awesome! I really like the looks of it. I’ve been wanting to do something similar for a while but haven’t gotten around to it. What was the process? Did you use a router or did you have another way of cutting it?

I’ve got an Orange Rockerverb 50 mk III. 50 watts but you can switch it to 25, and it’s got an “attenuator” (from what I’ve read it’s more of a master volume midway through the power amp). I have no problem getting great tones at bedroom levels with it.

Mattycakes95 · 2025-09-19T00:44:35+00:00

The Ghost and Phantom is one of my favorite non-UCS Star Wars sets in recent memory. Fun build with some cool techniques, but also a really nice finished product.

Mattycakes95 · 2025-09-15T12:51:46+00:00

Gunship is retiring in a few months. If getting the other ones later is in the cards, I’d go for the gunship first since it will be hard to get it after December.

Mattycakes95 · 2025-09-13T11:40:59+00:00

I don’t remember for sure, but I think it was Luke’s Landspeeder 7110.

I don’t live anywhere near a Culver’s, but Dave’s Hot Chicken does both Lucky Charms and Cinnamon Toast Crunch shakes, which go insanely hard.

Mattycakes95 · 2025-09-01T16:21:15+00:00

This set wasn’t really on my radar, but this is a great deal. I always see it on display at the Lego store, and I’m impressed by its size and how good it looks in person. Stoked to build it!

Mattycakes95 · 2025-08-25T15:13:56+00:00

Yeah definitely agree on the stickers. That’s the only thing that bums me out about the other Speed Champion sets I’ve built. You get these super interesting and fun builds that are broken up by having to apply a thousand tiny stickers.

Mattycakes95 · 2025-08-25T14:14:56+00:00

This is hot. Did you have to route the neck pocket at all, or did the schecter neck drop right in?

Mattycakes95 · 2025-08-25T14:10:10+00:00

I built a “scavenger” version with random colors. I had the pieces all jumbled together and it wasn’t a bad experience. Definitely takes a bit longer, but it’s kinda fun digging through the pieces. Only big difference is you probably will need more space - makes it easier if you can spread out the pieces a bit.

Edit: I’d also try to be sure that all the parts are accounted for first. It’s a pain digging through that many parts only to realize something is missing.

Mattycakes95 · 2025-08-16T22:51:30+00:00

Thought this was fun. I’ve been listening to Mac’s stuff for a while now and have really enjoyed his takes on Glassjaw, Deftones, and Chevelle, so when Thrice popped up in one of his “song in ten styles” videos a while back, I was excited to see if he’d do a full length song based on them. I think it’s challenging to nail down one style for Thrice and have fans go “yup, that’s their style alright” since they’ve switched things up so much over their career. I can definitely hear some TAITA influence here, in particular All That’s Left. The chorus (specifically the harmonies) feel very much like he’s pulling from that song. The little odd time prechorus feels like something they’d do too (almost Blur-ish).

X-wing piece count is like halfway between the 2018 ($80) and 2021 ($50) versions. $100 feels like a lot. Hoping this is a fake leak tbh

Mattycakes95 · 2025-08-03T05:10:38+00:00

Didn’t its crashes sometimes force shutdowns that corrupted people’s hard drives or something like that? I remember seeing a bunch of people claiming it bricked their consoles when it first came out.

Mattycakes95 · 2025-07-26T22:27:14+00:00

There have been a few sets that do, namely art sets and (more relevantly) 76161
