hey guys,

i would have posted this on the auction thread had i decided to certainly sell these, but i'm sooooo unsure about it...anyways, i recently purchased 3 Lego Star Wars Sets: Slave I (#6209), Imperial Landing Craft (# 7659) and the b wing fighter (#6208).... they would technically be my first 3 sets shall i ever decide to open them. thing is, i am a kinda big Gundam Mark, and the other possibility would be to sell these for around $90-100 to buy a MG Hi-Nu gundam... but i can't decide. what would you do?

Forget the Gundam, Legos have infinite possibilities outside their model sheets, Gundams on the other hand...

Hmmm.. If I could sell them to get something better or more desirable I would (IMHO).

I love legos though..

Exactly. Once you build the Star Wars vehicles, you can turn it into anything you want.

A Gundam model... is a Gundam model (unless you're very good at customizing).

Besides, you can make your own gundams with the right lego pieces. Ive seen it DONE actually..

LEGO FTW!

For God's sake...

Just build a Gundam with the Legos!

Those are awesome! There are some really clever people in the world. I respect the time and creativity they put into making those.

Completely biased opinion, but keep the Legos. Also pick up the TRU exclusive AtSt Walker. Its awesome. Big, too.

i think i'm opening those suckers tonight, or tomorrow morning... i've been convinced

If it didn't have half the pieces of the ATAT and was actually half the price of the ATAT I would buy it. But for only $10 less than it's bigger brother, I can't find where the value would be.

One way or another, i would just keep LEGO's, you can built an actuall Gundam with Legos, and even make a Transformer from those. Like few people pointed out, LEGO's are a better bet.

I personally love it. It is almost as tall as the TRU Endore AtAt (which I am assuming is about the same size as the Lego AtAt), and is the perfect size scale-wise for 3 3/4 figs. Plus the amount of detail is incredible with over 1000 pieces.

BTW, if you're ever interested in getting rid of your Lego AtAt, Muff, I have a great home for it :grin:

Ouch! I have the MG Hi-Nu, I think if you like Gundams, you should have got it...you should be kicking yourself...

standard shotgun rules. although i'm not sure if it'd really apply, as he's not actually in sight of what he's sotgunning.
personally i'd keep the legos, as theres so much more potential with them than the gundams.
