U-wing fighter [30496] review

U-Wing Fighter [30496] Rebel alert! It's the U-Wing Fighter [30496] polybag! I finally got my hands on the U-Wing Fighter [30496] minibuild! If you have read one of my previous posts earlier this year, you can deduce that my best mates and I have gotten together after a long, long time. They bought this polybag for me from their recent LEGOLAND Windsor visit. Super thank you kuys and ate  (big brother and big sister)! Now that I've thought about it, I haven't seen this polybag elsewhere here in the UK. It sounds like the Empire did some shady business. Back to the minibuild, it's needless to say that I've enjoyed building the U-Wing in this scale (or maybe I'm just really Rogue One biased). It looks like a shrunk version of the big set [75155] (which I did a gallery on)! Every piece corresponds to every part. From the thrust engines to the cockpit. I can't help but see Bistan gunning by the door. U-Wing My only complaint is that the wings are not foldable....

U-wing fighter [30496] polybag spotted in LEGOLAND windsor

U-Wing Fighter [30496] (Photo by: Poncemel Ardiente) Rebel alert! The U-Wing Fighter [30496] polybag has finally been spotted in the UK! Thanks to my best mates, the minibuild version of the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story 's iconic spaceship has recently been sighted in LEGOLAND Windsor, and it only costs £3.99! I don't know if this is old news, but this is the first time that I (indirectly) saw the polybag in a UK retail store. I read somewhere that it has been spotted late last year, but that's in another LEGOLAND, specifically California (is it LEGOLAND exclusive?). And I know it has been available in the secondary market for a while now, but not at the above mentioned price. I'm hoping that the  U-Wing Fighter [30496] polybag will be more widely available soon. (UPDATE: The polybag will be part of the May the 4th be with you promotions in some areas, and is currently a free gift in K-Zone Australia!). 'Can't wait to get my hands on this sweet rebel fighter sh...

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...
