ldd can accept it like thus....
>>5305664
as for how tight....
I can't decide where I'm going with this. Probably going to slap a cargo box on the back and call it a day.
>>5305682
>all-black prison pod for captured SP1 minifigs
I just made a new speeder bike.
Thoughts?
>>5305686
I like this idea!
>>5305700
And I like this bike, nice controls. Binoculars piece looks stressed though.
>>5305703
Junker/10
Would race around abandoned factory world with. It'd look better in front of a neutral background, though.
Found this today. Gotta say it's amazing the way they made the sweep work by pulling the engines. Man lego has come a far way
>>5305762
>>5305703
Love the front but I dislike the back, namely the pipes to binocular part.
>>5305682
a zoid?
>>5305728
Hey, that was probably the best idea in the Hero Factory line...
>>5305774
And it did almost as well as minifig-scale Bonkle.
Lego just can't do it right. Which is a shame, some of the mechs looked cool, but the kaijus were pretty lackluster
>>5305762
>>5305766
>>5305778
Hero Factory is superior for delivering minifigs, something bonklw will never do
<< this shit is bonkle tier retardation you adore, fuck off back to your bzp general
>>5305779
From my dark age, but yeah I imagine it works similar. The fact that they did it on $10 scale is impressive
>>5305796
Now, I'm interested.
>>5305817
Agents sets from 2008/2009
>>5305782
>Hero Factory is superior for delivering minifigs, something bonklw will never do
Yeah, at least the last Hero Factory theme had articulated Minifigs instead of static statuettes.
>>5305778
They just needed more variety in the creature faces. I got pic related because it looked the most fitting for Pacific Rim, but all of them re-used the same face.
After almost 1 month of waiting, I finally got the last part to finish upgrading my moc of Marina Liteyears.
>>5305935
Old and busted version for comparison.
Shake, shake!
Another snowspeeder? The Republic Interceptor at least sort of makes sense since the current one is Anakin's yellow one and the new one is Obi-Wan's red one, but what's the point of another snowspeeder so soon?
>>5305978
maybe it's a Rebels or TFA version?
>>5305978
Maybe they just sell really well.
>>5305796
>>5305814
>>5305978
>>5305987
Well I mean I was dumb enough to buy one, unsure if I regret it or not. The minifigs are nice but like a week after I bought it I decided I wanted to set up a walker base for 2 AT-DP's and an AT-AT, so now I'm figuring out how I'd be able to add that and my Imperial Troop Transport to it as well.

>>5305978
There are Snowspeeders with orange and with grey markings. The grey markings are for Lukes Snowspeeder and his was nearly the only one that ever got releases. Orange Snowspeeders were only released in 1999, 2004 and in the Wampa Cave set so a new one for army building would be nice, and actually useful if they could bother updating the design for once but I don´t care anymore, after 5 of the exact same models I finally sorted out all the pieces I need to copy that MOC the Aussie A-Wing Anon posted lately.
Or maybe it will be a substantial redesign in light grey for once.
After I wasted a day to copy the Lego Batman 3 1966 Batmobile design and finally built it from my parts it just took 6 months for the rumor of the Batcave to come up.
>>5306027
>>5306038
>>5305934
Eh, I could accept the Creature heads, they have nice functionally after all.
It's the gimpy flipper claw arms that irritate me.
>>5306019
i havent actually decided yet (hence all the uncoloured bits still to do) , I started out building it for the thread challenge last month, but lack ideas,(not sure why I put a crane on it either)
up until yesterday it didn't have an inner floor, just struts off the baseplate
>>5306016
that never occurred to me when placing
Made another Movie car! Its a bit shitty as it was from my old parts and I had to canabalize an old vic viper!
>>5306040
Just so you know I haven't finished making it yet. If you want to make a carbon copy, just wait a few weeks, when it's done there will be clear breakdowns. Or if you just want the same general sort of thing go ahead and have fun !

>>5306295
great anon, now I just bought over 20$ worth of parts just because they were in odd, unreleased colors
>>5306499
Did you get the blue cat?
>>5305935
oh man, so many memories! you should make some of those props from the game to shake!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKrHTYqm8pw
My only gripe about this model is that it doesn't walk around like a strandbeest.
>>5306530
Holy shit, that's fucking incredible
>>5306516
Nah, don't want to spend that much on a single piece. Hope I can make something with the Knight's Kingdom helmets, those were the pieces which started me on this tangent. That, and I've always wanted a red revolver.
Curious though how that German comes across this stuff. I remember someone who said they got some unreleased color bionicle parts from some German store, maybe it was this guy.
>>5306530
that's some fucking quality
Newfag here, I've seen you guys talking about Bricklink (I've never used it myself) and being able to do a parts list or something to get all the parts for a model without buying the set itself.
How would I do that to just get the parts for the Emerald Night's coach (from set 10194) and The Horizon Express's double coach? (from set 10233)
>>5306540
Might be the seller knows someone who works at a Lego store/ park. They produce bulk quantities of parts in unreleased colors for displays and stuff, but logistics means that they produce more parts than what they actually use, so the rest gets warehoused. Somebody pays somebody else to grab a few pocketfuls of unreleased colors and a month later they show up on cracklink.
I'm kind of kicking myself for not getting a red revolver while I was at it. Maybe I'll get that blue cat and a red gun for my birthday.
>>5306544
>How would I do that to just get the parts for the Emerald Night's coach (from set 10194) and The Horizon Express's double coach? (from set 10233)

http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=10233-1
These are the full inventories; I don't know how you would break them down by sub-model unless you got LDD, imported the file for that model, then had it output a parts list.
>>5306544
>search for set in catalog
>in catalog entry page, select 'part out' under 'add to wishlist'
>probably want to make a wishlist for that set specifically
later you can go to your to wanted>store to search by store to see who has the most of the things you need by each or all of your wanted lists
>>5306559
The part list in the back of the instructions uses different numbers than the actual part numbers printed on the pieces. Bricklink uses the printed part numbers.
Welcome to the Lego General, anon!
>>5306564
That is one of my favorite shots you've done, LQ. The lighting and composition are just top-notch.
I wish I had a pool of radioactive waste to mack on a cutie in.
>>5306530
Wow. That motion is incredible.
Made a new rear for my speeder. I think it looks a lot better now.
>>5306676
Also made this with the pieces left over on my desk.
Thoughts?
>>5306700
I like the stick
I've always wanted to make a speeder with only one stick thing.
I guess it's just all opinion.
>>5306679
Love it.
>>5306679
I like the position of the driver!

It sells like shit, that's for sure
why don't they put minifigs in it again? it's not like it'd be cheaper than getting battlepacks and the old license preventing them from selling them alone is seemingly gone already and ultimately the armybuilder villains are the main reason why kids buy the Ninjago and Chima magazines
>>5306950
That fucking Snowspeeder was in last year's calender.
And it wasn't even that good build.
I gotta figure out how to export Bricklink Wanted lists.
>>5307034
>using mixel sets to build actual mixels
Kill yourself.
>>5306295
Now how can anyone be sure they are actually lego? Whats to stop someone from mass producing these and just claiming they are? Because for how "rare" they claim they are, there sure seems to be quite a few of them popping up.
>>5307077
Why are you so hostile? Mixing to build other Mixels is the main selling point of the line.
>>5306205
It's not bad. I was going to try this for the challenge, but I looked at some other people's mocs and realised a lotus esprit is even worse than a delorean in lego.
>>5306243
>Make a warm vacation spot for a minifig to escape the cold winter
I did that in September.

Followup question to this:
I've been looking around and found a few nice custom coaches and stuff I'm interested in, but no plans.
http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/142701
That for example, how do you guys do it? Is there an instruction list somewhere or is it just a matter of eyeballing the picture and pulling the knowledge of all the parts used from the database in your head, or something?
http://imgur.com/a/gxdH2
Pics of the Takodana and resistance transport sets!
What pieces would you recommend to make a Val'kyr from WoW? Pic related
>>5307193
Custom means exactly that anon. If you wanted that guy's caboose you'd have to ask him for it. I reverse engineer stuff in LDD sometimes to learn better building skills and to have fun, but of course that isn't an actual model. You can kind of process LDD builds into real builds through some good work and software, but it's up to you to build what you'd like.
>>5306679
If you rearranged a few and made him stand up, that could easily pass for a vertical STAP type thing- the way he's on it looks uncomfortable.
Great speeder, regardless.
>>5307202
why are it's feet so big
Just got my first Star Wars set in over a decade, and I'm quite impressed in how much better this is than what I had as a kid. Anyone have recs on some more Hoth themed sets?
>>5307205
>but it's up to you to build what you'd like.
What I'd like is one thing, what I have a single clue on how to build is entirely another.
>>5307219
There's Hoth-base coming next year, and for everything else http://brickset.com/sets/tag-Hoth
>>5307219
I don't personally own it, but I can't recommend newest AT-AT enough.
>>5307219
unfortunately, other than the AT-AT, all the other hoth sets are currently retired. Can't even get a AT-ST right now.
>>5307233
If you don't know how to build stuff, experiment. Fool around and spend some time with your parts. If you're looking to improve your skills then you have to practice. I already mentioned reverse engineering, and that's done by eye and guesswork.
The caboose doesn't seem like that hard of a job, it's pretty straightforward looking.
>>5307202
Minifigure or brick figure?
I almost forgot these two characters were in the same LDD file. Weird.
>>5307274
minifigure
>>5307219
why are all the SW figs so over-designed now?
>>5307283
You'll probably want what chima anon suggested, maybe some white minifig hands and a transparent or blank white minifig head to help out.
>>5307104
I asked the same question six months ago while looking at a $500 red tree piece. If it is fake, the seller has discovered a way to manufacture bootlegs that are indistinguishable from genuine pieces because no one else has ever complained.
new TFA sets
>>5307368
>>5307285
Because as the sets get more detailed, intricate and accurate to the source it only makes sense that the figs do too.

>>5307320
I guess the price dropped; it's only $206.58 now.
>>5307320
I would say its more of a "most buyers have full on reality displacement field" syndrome.
These are the same types of people that when you tell them the knock off apple charging cables on deal extreme are the SAME EXACT ONES that are made for apple, same parts, same build quality, hell, made in the same factory (most of them even have the engraved apple logo on them and even have the printed on copyright fine print!), they just blow you off like "nah man, that could never happen!", when in reality, yes, thats exactly what happens.
This isnt some guy producing a couple hundred in his garage with an injection molding machine he bought second hand, its more than likely one of the factories in one of the shitier parts of the world (they wouldnt happen to have any chinese factories, would they? Even just one?) is cutting back alley deals and making parts and selling them third party.
But hey, im sure ill just get replies of "hur dur tinfoil conspiracies!".

Fuck me, the days of StarWars being iconic is over, forgettable and bland.
>>5307386
HAHAHA this ship looks really fucking bad I hope it looks better in the film than it does as a set... holy shit.
>>5307381
Nah, the most likely scenario is >>5306545
Lego produces a lot of pieces in colors that aren't intended for sale, and all the extra unused parts are just warehoused for infinity. Most of these rare-color sellers are in Germany, which makes sense because they make a lot of custom displays there.
>>5307387
On the plus side, you can buy a bunch on clearance and make it into a futuristic train set.

>>5307386
FYI that mon calamar is actually Admiral Ackbar.
>>5307484
Agreed, though it has lead to some odd choices...
...I mean, REALLY, a B-WING TRANSPORT?!
>>5307453
Why do people keep saying that? That promo shot from Empire with him, two Snowtroopers and some street lamps in the background confirmed that Kylo looks like his actor.
>>5307498
You can also see, plain as day, in the trailer when Finn faces him with lukes saber he has his helmet off (you can see his hair whipping around). I was personally hoping they didnt unmask him, but this just tells me he will be another Maul, kick ass bad guy criminally underused and then killed off in the fist movie by "We wuz jedi and sheeeeit".
>>5307510
His design sucks though. It's like a toned down Vader, while Maul, Grievous and even some of the CW villains at least looked unique.
>>5307497
I think Leia is in so few scenes that they had either this or a control room to choose from if they wanted to release a minifigure of her in a set.
>>5307510
Just rewatched the trailer and can confirm. Kylo has John Snow hair.
>>5307510
>he will be another Maul, kick ass bad guy criminally underused and then killed off in the fist movie by "We wuz jedi and sheeeeit".
Nope.
>>5307034

Also the first one has a more rounded appearance on one side(non-shutter side) which is kind of outdated.

>>5307219
Apparently next year has another Snowspeeder, which has me going WTF due to how awesome your pic related is.
Well I said that I'd posts pics of my Firehouse when I got back home for Thanksgiving, so here we go. First thing you'll notice is that the building is on a 32x32 base instead of a 32x48 one like the official set. This was mainly due to me wanting the set on a smaller base to fit my shelf along with it fitting to the Modular standard better. Oh yeah the building is modular and doesn't fold out like the official set does.
Ignore the base for now, I just build my Modulars on a 2-brick tall base so that I can use it with my custom roads.
The first major problem I missed when designing it was making sure the Ecto-1 could even fit. I went with the traditional roll-up shutters since I couldn't make a good looking brick door, but that kinda proved to be a fruitless effort.
>>5307272
I hope they're gearing up to do a posable AT-ST like this. Still trying to track down instructions and/or a bricklist for this
https://ideas.lego.com/projects/112665
The building's also just as long as the Ecto-1, so even if it could fit through the door it's still not gonna fit completely.
>>5308003
Are those rails for streetcars? Nice.
I was working on floors, but with limited floorspace compromises had to be made. No beds, no baths, just a kitchen on the second floor and a would-be workshop on the third.
The one thing my version does that the official one won't is have a closed-off alleyway. When the firehouse does come out I'm gonna scrap the one I have and use parts from it to make a slightly better official set, I'll probably use the rest of the parts to make a small apartment.
>>5308014
Yep, one of the incentives for making the brick road was to combine road and rail, but I'm probably gonna scrap the latter since it'll be impossible to do curves in my budget.
>>5307727
>A B-Wing crossed with a train car? And where ARE the B-wings and A-wings in this time period? They were supposed to be brand new when RotJ takes place.
Not anymore.
According to Rebel's Canon, The A-wing was their FIRST Star Fighter, the B-wing has just been brought in as a Prototype, I'm assuming the same will be done with the X-wing eventually, yet STILL no sign of the Y-wing, which is STILL a Clone Wars Relic.
>>5307940
>Apparently there's a new A-Wing already in coming year, despite having one in 2013. Maybe it'll have some sort of reference to TFA?

>It's a Rebels set.
Yeah...
>>5307649
I got Grievous the other week and I love him to pieces. Big poseable CIS scum.
Got my Target minifigure cube in the mail today. Surprised to see that Lightning Lad has an alt face. Sorry for the shitty pic, it's gold printing and my phone didn't really pick up the details in my shitty kitchen lighting.
Also didn't take a pic but he has a Legion tattoo on his arm.
Overall the cube figures are very nice, printing seems crisper than normal. The base plate tooling probably needs to be refreshed, the minifig foot holes don't have much friction on the pegs and don't stick as well.
>>5307835
I hope you dont mind, but im ripping of that figure design from you, that and doing the same for the Yve figure from the exosuit. Definite brick-fu material there!
These are definitely some of the weirder Mixels. Their design is also great for storing extra pieces.

It's not that I'm trying to keep the build to myself, I'd love to see others build stuff based on my ideas. Making instructions is an extra step of the process that takes time, so I don't want to bother unless I'm explicitly asked for some.

If I were you I'd have tried to make a SNOT based head to try and add details like the eyebrows, a distinguished jawline, etc. and I'm a lady fig guy.

The kid was a insolent little shit.
The father had zero creativity, so he was no better.
That said, the fat little shit's builds were sometimes sort of nice. Mixels like yours looks more like the duplonians. Utter trash.
>>5308873
what did you make those capes out of, plasticard? they look way too thick
>>5308882
they look like they're cut from sheets of foam from a craft store
felt might have been the better option, but he still would have run into the thickness issue unless he got massive cheap ones
the two layer capes on the bottom look good though. id just put up with the peaking behind the neck if i was him
>>5308880
Looks like a bootleg more round version of the Kingdoms great helm
http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=89520#T=C
>>5308888
Yeah, foam sheet. Not bought to make lego capes, but I used it for "Make a faction" challenge a while back.
Helmets are from a little $2 Enlighten castle set (bizarrely, the blacksmith had the Paradisa black tie waiter torso)
>>5308812
can you please post an example?
>>5308925
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxDWs5Jzakw
If you want more or better examples look at MOCs by guys like Djokson or generally search for MOCs of people that are built out of bricks. I build ladies a lot, so I wind up imitating stuff like what lingonkart posted, however other people make other stuff and have different faces accordingly. Some of tkh's stuff may be up your alley.
Shit I really like this guy. If I could shift his eyebrow tiles on their studs like you actually can he'd be fun to fool around with.
Maybe I gave a bad example, sorry. Still, there's plenty of stuff around.

i bid 30€ on a #920 alpha-1 rocket base and 15€ on a couple of smaller classic space sets, then went to dinner expecting i wouln't win any of them.
obviously after dinner i checked and i won 920 and lost the chance to get the others for cheap and with combined shipping.
Then i found out the seller won't accept paypal and requests a bank transfer. fuckadoodledoo.
Well on the bright side -unless it's a scam or it gets lost at customs- i managed to snatch a 60+€ classic space set for 30€

It's not perfect, mind you. It doesn't get a lot of power considering it uses a PF M-Motor, and even then the gearing configuration I have right now isn't the greatest.
I'm back at college though so you'll have to deal with old pics from last year though. I suppose I'll go through the roll and post good pics of the cars since those are slightly more interesting than what I have for the train
Here's how the thing's powered. That button is a snug fit in there and is unable to come out.
These guys look kinda basic, but they use a bunch of those newer SNOT brackets that go up instead of down.
Like here...
...and here
>>5308796

This guy here is a whole other level of SNOT. Those 1x2 titles are on a super small offset to create a sense of depth so it's not a big grey box. I made three of these (Pic related, Brown with a Dr. Grey roof, and Dk. Grey with a Grey roof) and they look pretty darn good together.
It's also a shameless ripoff of this, but I still take pride in figuring out how it was built. https://www.flickr.com/photos/bricktrix/3199100108/in/album-72157607788210943/
>>5309798
THAT is amazing. Awesome. Incredible. I love it, and I'm about as far from trains as a Lego guy can get.
>>5309535
Guy who was suggesting SNOT earlier here.
Don't be afraid to go bigger if you want to. You're only limited by this; if the head's new scale is bigger than the arm, scale that shit up.
>>5309805
It's actually a really simple construction on the inside, just two halves that attach to the center doors, the roof and the bottom carriage. It goes a long way though

Taobao is complicated. You have to find a taobao reseller/middleman and get them to buy it for you, then the original seller ships it to them and they ship it to you.
It's somewhat expensive and a bit of a pain in the ass to research so it's not for impulse buys. Also takes forever. Sometimes it's worth it but mostly it's not.
>>5309884
Comes up on aliexpress if you search for dlp bricks, although in lots of 8 for $9.50.
>>5310221
thanks for the info. i appreciate it. ill keep an eye out.
>>5309750
Interesting, never seen the use of a M motor for a train, going to have to research on that but nevertheless the design of it is really nice and smooth shape.
Ahh i see the wire running through, im guessing the carriage holds the battery pack/control pack, neat design. Gonna try out a few designs like that, thanks
Does anyone have a comparison between the Captain Phasma and the Shadow Troopers colour wise? I'd like to know for a MOC I'm preparing to build.
>>5310291
Pic for reference, sorry
>>5310291
Phasma is much brighter than the Shadow Troopers.
>>5310291
Phasma is the standard shade of silver used since 2010 or so, Shadow Troopers are the much darker shade which is in use since 2006 or so, mostly in bonkle.
>the original Phasma
>>5310270
You need to look at more train MOCs, M motors and XL motors are really kinda common for steam engine or homemade technic bogie MOCs.
>>5310317
> have this dude
Nice but 7 bucks as the original price seemed weird, wish I had bought a little troop of them.
I hope they do a chromed Phasma for a S@H promo or something similar.
If I order two items that are on sale and one is out of stock til Dec 7th, will I still get the sale price when it comes in if the sale ends before then?
>>5310497
They're phasing away chrome altogether I'm afraid, the best you can hope for is Christmas Phasma to go with Christmas Maul, Vader and Jango or a black/white monochrome version looking at latest promo figures of all sorts. I'd love to see a pumpkin-themed Halloween stormie but for some reason all holiday SW promos have to be Christmas-themed which is a shame.
They didn't really do many of the chrome promos to begin though, right? Just this guy, a Vader and that super-limited C-3PO almost a decade ago.
Can somebody please tell me why Lego likes to release nice sets, then discontinue selling them as soon as possible?
>>5310516
In order to release more new stuff.
>>5310516
Because there's a limited amount of factories and thus limited amount of stuff they can make and you need to discontinue old stuff to make new stuff. Simple as that. This being say, I do feel like at times things were on sale for way too short, good example are series 8-11 or so of CMF, or Monster Fighters. This being said, a lot of stuff would get stale if it wasn't discontinued fast, like a good chunk of City sets, especially police ones - or, say, Ultra Agents (that was one boring theme, pretty much only worth it for some bad guy figs...).
dear anons, how do you justify Lego to people that tell you you're too old for children's toys?
>>5310552
I don't worry about justifying things to other people because I'm a grown-up.
>>5310552
Are you an adult? Do you have your own money, home, property, etc? Are you self-sufficient? Then the reason is self-evident.
>>5310448
I see, thanks but yeah i should, just started looking into Lego trains the other day since i picked one up on offer
>>5310552
i actually noticed that most people i told that i collect lego sw bought themselves a set afterwards. And most girls i hit on and dated had positive reactions on it,even going to the extent i got some sets from them. If you are not a total sperglord nobody will hold it against you

What is the best space theme and why is it Ice Planet?
>>5310888
otc?
>>5310888
It's in the top 3 for me and probably one of the few 90s themes that actually deserve the praise they get, but both Spyrius and SPIII are better. Life on Mars is amazing too.
>>5310895
Space Police were cool. I used them as the bad guys when I was a little lad.
>>5310790
You should probably just take LDD screenshots without the background if you don't have "show brick outlines" on. The background and brick tile floor will be removed and the model will be against a transparent background.
What are the chances we're going to see a Bluecoat ship during the next year?
>>5310941
I dunno but I really hope to see one.
>>5310941
Slim to none unless it'd be a surprise UCS in the second half of the year.
I'm not even very upset because this theme didn't really bring anything new to the table for pirates, the only worthwile things are the cook, governor's daughter, dark red masonry pieces and maybe the captain.
so i was in local BIEDRONKA and they had some Lego for sale, about 25% cheapier than the catalogue prices , not much to choose from though.
60077, 10581, 31029, 41098, 31018, 42020, 75074, 41090.
decided to check out how newest technic feel like... it was kinda hard to assemble. i remember times when technic was made out of bricks with holes, nowadays it's frames with holes.
not that it's a bad thing. it's just.. different. i could buy that yellow plane/boat/chopper creator set, but i DESPISE cheese slopes.
and that's a third choochoo in my collection... i just had to have three emerald expresses.
>>5311078
>i DESPISE cheese slopes
How come? This has to be one of the most outlandish Lego opinions I've ever seen.
>>5311083
easily crack, easily lose, they are only for decoration and can't be used as miniplates.
>>5311078
>not that it's a bad thing. it's just.. different.
too different IMO, I'm too used to System
still not as bad as bonkle
>>5311085
>easily lose
have you considered sorting your parts and storing them in sensible conditions? it tends to solve the problem of losing shit
>they are only for decoration
so is 90% of pieces ultimately and building tends to, ultimately, depend on interesting configurations of them, not sure what's your point here. Minifigs are only for decoration too, when you think about it
>and can't be used as miniplates
it's almost as if they were a different part, shit. Dang, can't use this 2x4 brick as a tile
Some colors of them, especially light bluish grey and white do break easily though, especially those made early on, I give you that.

>>5311171
Don't worry, you could always buy better minifigs on Bricklink.
>>5311171
Chewie and iirc even standard wookies all look like this now, I don't really like it either.
However, if you like the ship itself you can just sell the new figs (those two weird mooks seem to be oddly popular on bricklink) and buy whichever old version of Han, Chewie and the rest you like the most. You'll probably even earn a bit this way.

Again, I'd love either. I don't expect anyone to help me, but it'd make me a very happy man if they did.

Contact the designer of the model on Flickr or Lego ideas. If he doesn´t answer you have to reverse engineer the model from the pictures you´ve got.
The AT-ST guy at least seems to have made a 3D render so he should be able to share a file for CAD or LDD.
If he doesn´t that you use one of those two programmes to build the models.

After a quick scan of the comments for the AT-ST I found this. Hope it helps.

Right, so. I've just spent the last 3 hours sorting through all the bricks on my wanted list, removing those that are in the seller's inventory- only I think I might have missed one or two out because rebrickable put some filters on, and I didn't realise till too late. I have a google doc of the items I added to my wanted list on brickset from the website (looks like the following)
<ITEM>
<ITEMTYPE>P</ITEMTYPE>
<ITEMID>99781</ITEMID>
<COLOR>86</COLOR>
<MINQTY>5</MINQTY>
</ITEM>
If I make it so rebrickable lets me get this order type for every item needed, is there an easier way to cross-compare them without spending another hour or 2 checking every single item using ctrl + f?

I don´t understand what you just talked about, especially as Brickset is only for sets and not parts, you would need Bricklink to order parts or maybe you just mistyped that name.
But the most important thing I would recommend is you reposting your question in the new thread because everybody already ditched this one.
