LEGO star wars in black and white

LEGO Star Wars in Black and White Or alternatively my favorite shots in dramatic monochrome. How did this little side project come about? I was just looking for a new wallpaper to match my black and white phone then  voilà !... It is only quite recently that I was able to obtain larger sets. That's why it is also only quite recently that I decided to do scenic shots, and I fell in love with it! For Finn in the Millennium Falcon [75105] , I was originally aiming to do a shot in the gun well but I can't seem to make it work. So, I settled with him in the cockpit instead. At least the upper quad laser cannon is visible behind him. Finn Manning the Falcon Krennic's Imperial Shuttle [75156] is definitely one of my favorite LEGO Star Wars sets. It definitely is a must to have the suave director's photo taken inside his wicked spacecraft. For Krennic, it's all about style! I mean wearing white in a black on black ship? Exactly on point! Director Krennic's Imperial Shu...

darth vader transformation [75183] review

Darth Vader Transformation [75183] The Summer 2017 LEGO sets are now available everywhere, including the LEGO Stores ! And on top of my list is the Darth Vader Transformation [75183]! It's a no brainer that this particular set is a must have for any LEGO Star Wars fans. I have missed the 2005 version of the Darth Vader Transformation [7251], so I definitely have to have the update ( even if I have the old one, I'm sure I'll still get the new one, haha ). It currently retails at UK £19.99 / US $24.99. I got mine  £6 less in the recent Smyths Toy Store event ( thank you very much! ). For a set in that price range, I think it really has a great value for money. The minifigures alone are a great deal. The Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader minifigures are usually included in bigger and more expensive sets. With the release of this set, they become easily more accessible. The Emperor Palpatine minifigure comes with a black hood and a spongy cape. The wrinkled minifig head is d u...

LEGOLAND windsor: star wars miniland

Death Star That's no moon... That's what Obi-Wan Kenobi said upon approaching the Death Star. But when I saw the reproduction in LEGO Star Wars Miniland Model Display at LEGOLAND Windsor, I was lost for words! Together with my tita 's (aunt's) family,  I visited the resort  last June, and their latest addition is the  recreation of Darth Vader’s ultimate super weapon. It's o ne of the most impressive and biggest models ever created for the resort, using about 500,000 bricks. Measuring  2.4 meters wide and 3 meters high, and weighing 860 kilograms, the Death Star is the centerpiece for an amazing scene depicting the famous Battle of Yavin in A New Hope . The interactive display also features  sound and light effects. By pressing the appropriate buttons, A lliance ships will come swooping to destroy the mobile space station. Upon entering the LEGO Star Wars Miniland Model Display, Darth Vader in all his brickly glory extends his lightsaber to welcome the...
