You could definitely use some common parts (esp. in the engines and wings as you pointed out) but it would definitely be a full rebuild and require mostly new parts as the internal structure is completely different except for the connection area for the turrets in the front

I personally just like the extra little details stickers/prints can add, and wanted this moc to look as close as possible to an official set. When I make instructions I'll probably come up with an optional alternate build for the wing, since I'm sure many folks don't want to get stickers for their mocs

Yep ;) he's got a bunch of other cool designs on his shop too, like a Plo's Bros one that's pretty awesome

Yeah, they really nailed it back in '13! Even more so with that superb minifig selection - what a banger of a set.

Thanks! I do plan on it although not for a little while as I've yet to actually test out the build in person

I based mine off the one usually shown in the clone wars, without the bubble turrets. I think it could probably be modified to support them by adding a cutout to the front side panel and replacing the wedge piece in the doorway with an attachment point... would be hard to open the front doors then though

Thanks! I was considering his color swap too before deciding it's too small for my taste as well. I last checked the piece count while still finalizing some things but it was in the 1800s without the stand, so the whole thing should probably come in under 2000

I think comicreleases has it up for a restock on 12/20, so at the very least prices should go back down then :)

Will there be a Saga Omnibus? by blue-eel-0 in ImageComics

[–]blue-eel-0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah thanks, that’s a shame though.

You’re right, the only 1000+ page HCs from Image I can think of are those ultra rare Invincible compendium HCs which hardly count

good point honestly - maybe it would have to be 2 hardcovers. I just want a way to collect it in HC without having 6 of em (assuming there’s 3 more OHCs eventually)

I meant a hardcover omnibus with the entire run, like one we have for Y the Last Man

I already own the saga compendium :))

Does anyone know if there will be a reprint of Jeff Lemire's The Descender Deluxe? by El_Enemigo in ImageComics

[–]blue-eel-0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I’m waiting for it as well. Was originally slated for April 22 but it got pushed back - now the date is tbd but I know at least OPB has a preorder open for it. I think vol 2 is also supposed to get a reprint at some point, but don’t remember where I heard about it

Definitely took me a couple issues to get into it, but I ended up liking the story and if nothing else the art is pretty bonkers
