Death Jar Jar?

I do want a Dark Side Millennium Falcon in a bad way, lol.

The movies would have been so much better with JarJar as a sith lord plot twist

I've seen some of those knockoff sets and they're pretty terrible. But hey, you get what you pay for for the most part. Lego sets definitely have gotten overpriced, but still worth it to me.

I really want the Titanic, but just don't have the room or $ right now. I spent a chunk on the Star Wars sets that had the 4x points for the May 4th promo. That AT-AT set is gonna be nuts. Can't wait to start it.

that's kind of what i'm expecting. i've bought a few things off of there and it is hit or miss.

surprisingly, the quality of the fake mantis set is really good quality. i'll put it together after i put together another 10 in line haha. went ahead and ordered the ship in a bottle from the same seller, since my legitimate one is forever lost in my house.

So this is pretty much my entire collection sans the Falcon which is on a separate table for now. It's been fun. I built the shelving this morning. Got it from IKEA.

I'm still holding off on the AT-AT walker as I'm not really sure where I can put it. Might look at custom shelving or display case for that and the Falcon.

So, I'm building the AT-AT walker and came across this piece. Wonder what the designer thought when he finished this one? He had to see it right?

This Reddit post and discussion is pretty great, lol.

I've got enough spares to do a decent set. I'll have to take a swing at it. Thanks for the idea.
