For those who haven't seen it yet...this was JUST released...

http://shop.lego.com/product.asp?prod_id=4483

I'm ordering mine the second I can wrestle the debit card from my wife.

 

Cool, do you collect lego's? How long to you think it will take to make?

 

Yes! I have tons of LEGOs! Here's my Stormtrooper collection on my desk at home:

I think the AT-AT will take around 4-6 hours to put together -- that's about as long as it took to put together my collector's edition TIE Interceptor, and as long as it took Rachel to put together her Yoda.

Someday I shall buy insane amounts of white LEGOs and make myself a life-size Stormtrooper helmet out of LEGOs.

*sigh* And if only I could justify spending the $300 for the Imperial Star Destroyer that LEGO makes...

 

well from what I hear, its worthit. Wenchy down in phoenix has it and she scared the UPS guy when he showed up at the door with it. its very cool.

 

w00t! Just ordered my AT-AT!

 

oh man soon as pam see's this I'm in trouble.

 

legos are cool.

I was about to hunt down a 9754 Dark Side Developer Kit (AT-AT), but I'd rather have the "real" LEGO AT-AT. I was stupid and never bought the 7130 Snowspeeder cuz I thought it wasn't that cool, and now it's discontinued and I need a couple for my AT-AT! I was able to procure the instruction booklet, though, so I can order all the parts I need from LEGO to make a few of them to make a little display for my AT-AT.

 

so where would you go about ordering just little ego pieces and where do you find the instructions at?

 

Wellllll...lessee...

http://shop.lego.com -- Go to "Accessories and Bricks" on the left navbar. That's got most of what you need. 90% of the Snowspeeder looks to be just plain ol' LEGOs. The canopy will be the hardest to find, and a phone order person at LEGO should be able to help you get it.

And if all else fails, I'm sure there's at least ONE LEGO set out there that has a canopy just like that. Might not be the same color, but that can always be fixed.

EDIT: Since I'll be at home tomorrow (most likely slacking), I'll give LEGO a call and see if I can gets hookups.

 

another great site for individual lego pieces is www.bricklink.com
you can get everything here. i've been building an endor set and it looks like i have to get the AT-AT to complete the platform scene. i hope this site helps.

 

*gasp!!!!*

That site is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO frakkin' cool!

Woohoo! I know where I'm spending today!

 

You, M_BF, are indeed most cool. The elusive canopy is RIGHT HERE!

I like legos but they are a pain in the butt to dust.

 

Hey! Another lurker returns!

And Legos are his crack This is giving me ideas }

 

We're in trouble now.

 

ok, you all are evil. all this talk of legos and im now fighting the urge to go and buy some. I havent played with legos in years, but i am being pulled towards them. EVIL i tell you EVIL!!!

 

see what you have done to me. i havent touched them in years and i want to try and build this!

although i think i will try some easier ones first.

 

Actually Mac, that's a real set, and for the low low price of $200, you too can own one.

LEGOs are good for you. The $200 is a bit much to stomache, so why not go for something just as cool, but without the horrible 3-digit wound it does to yer wallet and get the TIE bomber...currently available everywhere?

 

yes the lurker returns!! i've been reading posts, but that's it. i've spent the last month or two getting together the pieces for my endor scene. one more at-st and the new at-at and it'll be set. i'll try and post them when i'm done. my goal after that is set pretty high on doing the sail barge now that they have a jabba figure, we'll have to see though.

 

legos, yes they are my new crack.

 

Mmmmmm...crack...I mean...LEGOs...

 

I use to do LEGO's... granted... i was no good at following directions....

I leave this to expirenced people...

 

My LEGO AT-AT finally arrived on Friday...

WOO HOO!
