most my move are usually digital so this was definitely a change of pace. I really love the limitations of building with only the pieces available and finding ways to make use of parts.
The 2009 republic dropship with at-ot is considered to be one of the most highly valuable star war sets to ever be produced. With sealed sets going up for thousands of dollars and used ones going for hundreds. The reason it's so valuable is due to lego being too lazy to make another one (gotta release the 5 billionth landspeeder), basically making it the only version of this set. Although this set is highly praised it has some glaring flaws and some areas haven't aged as well. Because I’m not a local bricks and minifigs owner I unfortunately do not have enough money to buy this as a legit lego set. So I bought the knockoff one from marstoys for only $120. Thanks to my Chinese overlords I’m able to get replicas of these peak sets for a fraction of the cost and (somewhat) decent quality. Pros: The play features on this kit are really nice. With the Dropship being able to connect to the AT-OT, AT-TE, and Juggernaut making it have a whole new layer of interactivity. The AT-OT has some impressive amount of room for clones, with space to fit about 17 minifigures. This thing is ginormous and will absolutely dominate any shelf it's put on. It has incredible shelf presence, especially when attached to the AT-OT. when put next to the modern lego "micro" xwing you can truly see the scale of this thing. It’s structuraly stable and that handle supports the weight of both the ship and its AT-OT. Cons:
This set shows its age in some areas, some parts feel really ugly in this kit and there are a lot of exposed areas.
Building this kit was a little annoying at times due to the piece quality. The clutch power was way too tight in some areas and the technique part and plate tiles made me want to die. My fingers are not the same after this build.
The minifigures face print looks like charlie kirk.
The connection feature can be a little tedious to do.
nitpicks:
The set came without a box.
Conclusion
Overall, this kit is wonderful and I like it very much. I would highly recommend this set but only if you're buying the knockoff version. I feel paying 2k for this sealed version is a waste of money and is not worth it. If you have any questions please do ask.
sorry for the vague posting, gotta cover my track from john lego.
this is the new meta guys.
also couldnt find sentinel in the teirlist but he would go in I’m straight but…
does it look better or worse in your opinion
we need more pro rook agenda posting in this sub.
I really liked season one of the boys, the characters were cool, the villains (especially homelander) were actually scary, there were actual stakes, and the vibe was just better. season 2 is when i lost any ounce of interest i had with the show and just couldn't bother continuing. They took everything that made season one good and just threw it out the window. I'm genuinely confused that only now people are starting to realize how mid this show is when it has always been that way.
hopefully i will have this finished by galactic space forces 1st anniversary
white monster is just overrated imo. like the constant non-stop glaze this flavor gets is insane. there are a trillion different flavors of monster yet THIS is the one that gets the most glaze. Like peach and punch beat the shit out of this flavor.
