Rancor by 2x4

Well, the title, I know, I shouldn't have ...

Here is the Rancor seen by 2x4, author of several MOCs which I have already told you about here.

Obviously, it's well done, it's pretty, well presented and creative, but I can't help but think back to that scene seen in the cartoon The Padawan Threat where we discover a Rancor figurine whose passage in production would delight me ...

And I would be even happier if this figurine was delivered in a set reproducing the pit of the creature that would fit under the Jabba palace of the set 9516 Jabba's Palace planned for this summer ...

While waiting for my dream to come true and to see more about this 2x4 achievement, go to his flickr gallery.

Tested.com: LEGO Super Star Destroyer VS. Lego death star

There are guys who spend their time as best they can and others who watch them ... tested.com, the brilliant idea that came to the two friends of the video is the following: Et si on balait un SSD (10221 Super Star Destroyer) against the Death Star (10188 Death Star) just to see ? (and to create some buzz)

The experience is not really conclusive especially when the guy who aims the Death Star with the SSD is a stick ... I'll let you watch, it's edifying ...

Well, after all, there is no breakage, it's LEGO ...

Star Wars Lightsabers (LDD) by Scott Peterson

I'm not always a fan of LDD (LEGO Digital Designer) creations ... But this time, I'm amazed.

These lightsabers are beautiful and I tell myself that LEGO would do better to offer us this kind of product in the form of a set in a special UCS range with presentation sticker and all the tintouin rather than certain sets seen and reviewed ...

A saber handle, a support, the minifigure that goes with it, a presentation sticker with some technical characteristics to do well and presto, packed it's weighed. The AFOLs would be happy and that would change us a bit from the Jedi Starfighters in the chain ...

Okay, no more dreaming, go to the flickr gallery of Scott Peterson to admire his (digital) work, you might have a dream tonight in which you will find these sabers in the toy department of your favorite store ...
