This was the first set to include Battle Droid minifigures with vertical hands able to hold a standard blaster.

Star Scavenger looks like the Star Scavenger. Aesthetically it may not please many but it does look as it should (Why they drew it this way, who knows. Possibly just so it was different from the other SW universe stuff out there). Seriously, interesting article. The same method could be applied to vehicles and buildings from other lines (e.g. City, Marvel, DC). Might be worthwhile developing a standardised scale of scale accuracy from 1 to 10 with any score of 1 to 9.5 getting an additional + or - to indicate whether the vehicle is oversized or undersized." How do I insult Lego fans by reminding them of the true Lego themes that matter? An AFOL is an Adult Fan of Lego, real Lego, not some borrowed idea from stupid movies. There are too many Adult Fans of Star Wars who have taken over the Lego community.I resent the FO scout walker for the sole reason of it never appearing in the movie at all. overall the design is just meh. Well I’ve got 10 on this list, so I guess my collection is pretty well scaled. Of course it may be 13 if I include the Death Star, Corellian Corvette, and Nebulon B.

The sets from early in the franchise also should not have been included. A lot of pieces we enjoy today seem to be the result of LEGO trying to make their Star Wars line better looking. So actually we should be grateful to those early designs for contributing to improvement overall. I think they can be forgiven for the clunkiness of the early sets - I always liked the Sith Infiltrator myself, and the Slave I was my "one that got away" for the early SW theme.

Notes: Two measurements are frequently published for the AT-ST, although the variation between them is small and hardly affects accurate minifigure-scale. As for the Flagg, at 6’ long, that would only be 115’ long. Even helicopter carriers seem to start at about five times that length. The USS Gerald R Ford is right around 100x that length. I can’t find any hard numbers, but based on photos, I think I did find one “aircraft carrier” that was shorter. In 1849, the SMS Vulcano became the first “balloon carrier”, when it was used to launch bombs carried by hot air balloons against Venice. Over 40 years earlier, the 127’ HMS Pallas was used to launch kites bearing propaganda against Napoleon. So, when you get down to the length of a football field, you’re largely talking about unmanned aircraft, or at max maybe one small helicopter. Whoa, awesome article! It’s interesting that the most accurately scaled examples in official sets (by this standard) are very old sets in some cases and much newer sets in others.

I can't really count any of the earlier sets as 'bad' - I remember getting 7140 X-wing in 1999 and being utterly blown away by it - my favourite fictional ship rendered in Lego, and I thought it couldn't get any better than that. Fast-forward to 9493 in 2012 and you cannot compare the two - the newer set surpasses the original in every way possible, but there were very few curved pieces, and studs-up construction was the norm which made the fighter's sleek shape difficult to recreate in Lego form. Since then the standard of engineering & detail seen in Lego sets has come on in leaps and bounds, and I think it would be a disservice to regard those early sets as 'bad' - they're just hampered by the limitations of the designs and parts of the time. After 2007, things are a little more difficult for me. I never had a real connection to the Clone Wars show (though I greatly enjoyed the initial shorts). Lego also begins adding in some other Star Wars properties that I have no connection to (such as Force Unleashed, Yoda Chronicles, Freemaker Adventures). In a few years, you get more and more exclusive sets and small polybag type sets, both of which can be difficult to obtain. There are a lot more sets I don't care about. Even some of the base movie sets are at times uninteresting. Just because I'm not interested, are they really that bad? Hard to say. If people think my comments are irrelevant, well look at all those stupid comments on City, Creator and other true Lego themes news "When's the new Star Wars coming out?" "What do you think of the new Star Wars sets?" "Where's Star Wars Rogue 1 being released?" It's very annoying. I voted for the FO At-St. The others on the list of choices don't strike me personally as all that awful. Though I do not approve of the Assault on Hoth set I also recognize if I were a kid again I would love it. the first star wars models are hard to judge since they are clearly not to today's standards, and when you see what was available at the time in other themes, they were still among the most desirable models.

Conclusion

The destroyer droid is a different variant from the older Episode 1 droidekas, and is not one of the ones featured in LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game. Its main colours are copper and grey, and its legs cannot fold in like the older variant. It uses the same type of double-gun, binoculars, but instead of pistols connecting to it, the designers used light grey agent guns. EU: 4184340 Availability Retail Notes Set contains additional parts to build a Y-wing Fighter when also using additional parts from sets 4488, 4489 and 4490. Assault on Hoth wins this contest for me. There was so much excitement and such promise when we heard TLG was creating a UCS Hoth Base. Then when it came out it was such a disappointment. The set is supposed to be top of the line, and like Rex said, it fails in both concept and execution. Come on, a hodgepodge of smaller sets crammed together to be UCS? Very sad. I did not waste my money on this set. The fact it is 'unfinished' (matter of perspective) I think is awesome, and would be weird if it were complete, given the scene it is depicting.

Say whatever you want, but calling licenced sets a bad thing just shows your ignorance of the wider market and how business works.Furthermore, the interior is very sparsely detailed. Later models have contained a smaller vehicle but this one is almost entirely empty and certain areas of the hull therefore feel flimsy. The minifigures are also relatively unappealing and the absence of any opposing forces is disappointing. The overall shape of the vehicle is reasonably faithful to the source material though and I quite like the idea of opening the model to create a static base. 7144 Slave I The FO AT-ST is bar far the worst, because they are asking for 60€ for half a model, just 1 year after selling a whole AT-ST for 10€ less. If they charged 40€ for the new set, this could have been overlooked, but the greed is what damages this set the most. However, there are a couple of mitigating factors to be taken into consideration. Firstly, the designer probably only had access to limited material from which to take inspiration as the set was created while the film was in production. The range of pieces and colours available was also far less comprehensive than it is today. Elements such as curved slopes, which have been used to good effect in modern Sith Infiltrator sets, were not created until 2004. 7184 Trade Federation MTT From my personal view the sets that should be on this list are the ones that have completely compromised Lego building and design for the inclusion of desirable mini figures - cad banes speeder and palatines throne room to name a couple. Star Destroyer and Death Star could have been fun additions just to put their true magnitude in another perspective. Minifig scale Imperial Destroyer would be about 24.4m long based on their purported length of around 1km. "
