Description

The thing here is that you have a huuuge shuttle, but the level of details and the finishes are not really better than the official product 75156. The set was provided for review by LEGO. All opinions expressed are those of the author. Minifigures

I think the best way to describe the wing weight here is that yes, physics determines that over time the torque from the tips of the wings will cause bending of the wing shape, BUT it will be miniscule, if even noticeable at all (Cavegod's has been standing for 6 months and looks good as new). Obi-Wan Kenobi appears in three summer sets and this version takes inspiration from his attire on Tatooine, hardly resembling the character's traditional Jedi garb. The dark tan poncho looks splendid and I love the sand blue shirt underneath, which introduces some colour, without losing the earthy shades associated with Tatooine's desolate terrain. There are other Inquisitors, but their appearances have mostly been in comics or books rather than on screen. Among these is the Sixth Brother, the only one missing from the single digit lineup-unless he’s the one recently featured in theTales of the Jedi series. There was also one in the Star Wars Visions episode “T0-B1”. These Inquisitors seem unlikely to get figures, unless they return in some other live-action or animated media.Um, some constructive criticism would be appreciated if it contained specificity rather than simply stating you think they look terrible. Especially given how talented of a MOC builder/developer you are, not quite sure why you’d leave such a vague and snarky comment... Weapons include 2 blasters for the Imperial Death Troopers, Krennic's blaster, Bodhi's blaster pistol and Pao's blaster rifle. Moreover, the dark brown belt, trousers and gloves correspond with the onscreen character and this hair component also looks superb, capturing realistic texture. I think the dark orange colour appears slightly too bright in relation to the series, although many Obi-Wan minifigures employ the same hair colour and I can understand the wish to maintain consistency between them. This set is basically what 75284: Knights of Ren Transport Ship should've been; a very great, large playable spaceship that can accomodate the crew it's supposed to be designed to do! Although the landing skids don't retract, I still like that they give off the ship's impression of slightly hovering off the ground as they're fairly hidden by being positioned near the central spine of the Scythe's chassis. This set does so much right and was such a pleasure to build; surprisingly big with the wings down too!

I am thrilled to be sharing this MOC with everyone, it is a UCS Krennic's Shuttle. The original model is courtesy of @cavegod, it was a pleasure to work with Pete again. He sent me over the LDDs to get started on the instructions, and after going through the model and building a scenic display, I built the model and am over the moon with it. The scale I think needed to be this large because if it is only slightly bigger than the official set, that doesn't really bring much to the table. At minifigure scale it puts the size of the ship into perspective, and composed of 2,000 pieces (The base is the other 2,000+ pieces thanks to the grass), there's no wasted space here, every piece has a purpose. Includes 5 minifigures: Pao, Director Krennic, Bodhi Rook and 2 Imperial Death Troopers, plus a K-2SO. The live-action appearance of the Grand Inquisitor provoked controversy when his design was revealed, noticeably deviating from the established Pau'an species. Thankfully, minifigure form disguises this inconsistency and the leader of the Inquisitorius appears suitably menacing, with pale skin and piercing red eyes!To make it short, you have a model that is twice bigger but you are are far from having twice more details. In other words, you had to deal with all the problems of a big build (complex build, bending parts), without taking advantage of it. The double-sided head displays dark orange facial hair, alongside fairly neutral and determined expressions. 75334 Obi-Wan Kenobi vs. Darth Vader features the same updated head and Obi-Wan's classic lightsaber is similarly repeated. However, this figure should also have included a blaster pistol. However, I dislike the noticeable gaps between the Inquisitor's shoulders and his armour, which the prior Grand Inquisitor minifigure avoided. Moreover, the red stripe on this character's chest is printed slightly off-centre, but his insignia looks great. The decoration across the torso and legs compares favourably with the onscreen villain too, perfectly finished with an elegant cape.
