Tie Crawler with Shadow Troopers!

Lego has released a limited number of Tie Crawler sets with 2 Shadow Troopers in each set. This is a great steal right now! I bought 3 a couple weeks ago at $30.00 and they are selling for $64.00 right now on Ebay. Soon they will be over $100.00 in my opinion. Anyways, heres a peak:

change armor styles to deceive the enemy. See Star Wars for more details:

Custom Legos Inspired by Knights of the old Republic

My son and I just built some cool new Dark figures inspired by Knights Of The Old Republic. We made them with custom decals from Saber-Scorpion’s Lair.
1. We took apart knights set and Ferrari set

2. We traced out the capes from real Legos and then cut out special paper (fabric may be used).

3. We applied the decals to the old spare legos.


4. We added Spare Weapons from other Star Wars Legos.

Stars Wars Legos Movies

A fun project that my son and I have been working on is Star Wars Legos Movies. We are making them with stop motion animation. We are still learning to do this, but plan on finishing a small 5 minute movie by end of the school year. For now here are some great Lego movies off of You Tube.

This one has all the great LightSabor battles of all time:



This one is great but it's not using stop motion animation:

Just completed 10144 Sandcrawler

The Sandcrawler took about 8 hours for me to put together. I bought it for my son for Christmas but haven't had much time.
It was spread out on a futon and I would slowly piece it together. It has tank tracks and steering, a crane, 3 Jawas, C-3PO, R2-D2, R1-G4, ASP Droid, gonk droid, Uncle Owen, and a tread droid. The center is detachable with computer consols inside.
1669 Total pieces! I bought it for $130.00 and this time in three years it should be worth about $300-400 in the box.

Speeder Bike Advanced model Custom

Here is a custom Speeder bike I made for my son:


I used most of the pieces from the new Lego Clone Troopers Battle Pack 7655 . I also used legos from the Lego Droids Battle Pack 7654 .

The speeder seats 2 clone fighters and has 3 engines:


A cool feature I added was Infared vision laser range finder that is a movable part that rotates in from of the drivers eyes!



The next post I will have Images of the Jawa Sandcrawler we are building. My son is only 5 and a 1/2 but he is handling this very technical Lego structure very well. I do not recomend this for all 5 year olds.... He is only helping me a little bit. This has many parts and he grows tired of working on this very fast. We are also working on a lego movie but I've been too busy working on my main "non Lego Sites". The lego movies are tons of work and I have it on the back burner right now.

Custom Sith Lord

Last month my son made this custom Sith Lord all by himself with extra Darth Vader torso, legs , and cape. It is basically a Darth Vader with a black face and a Knight helmet. We bought the extra light sabors from Findmybrick Making Star Wars lego customs and facory sets really bring us together. We still have to find a name for this sith. If you have any sugestions please comment.

In our next post I'll show you the custom advanced speeder bike I made for him.

I will be purchasing better lighting in order to create better pics. Right now these are the best I can make with the lighting I have.

Stars Wars Legos

Most of our posts are going to be Stars Wars related. We buy Star Wars legos and maybe a couple of other sets. We really only use the other sets to make custom Star Wars Figures.

Here is our latest space craft we built:




It is a 471 piece Imperial Landing Craft. Four storm troopers and one Imperial Pilot included.
