The back end looks incomplete though. If it were just the open tires it would be fine, but the open back as well just looks off.
The rest of the ship is hot too.

Aside from the tires, I think the back end looks great. It looks like there's a hatch that opens/closes and is shown open in the photo. Is that what is causing you to dislike the back?
I have it and love it. It's a nice castle/fortress though the insides is sparse. The main building is pretty narrow, but the staircase entrance is nicely built.

Yeah. It looks like a hatch, but I cant find pics with it closed.

Whoa! Those minifigs! Ship is cool too, but those minifigs!
I feel sorry for those of you that are hard core Star Wars fans. You're gonna go broke if the new Star Wars movies coming out are really good. Between that, original Trilogy UCS stuff, and Old Republic you're wallet is screwed! Not to mention any other cool stuff LEGO comes out with.

Sith Fury, man. Sith Fury. I am late to the party with that set, but everyone else gushing about it was doing so with good reason.

I doubt they will, but would be great to see the other class ships from swtor.

It looks the little storage box that houses the datacron (see image with minifigs) is what is placed inside the hatch.
Seriously, Sith Fury is an awesome ship that not only looks great, but has a great build as well.

I made a gyarados out of DUPLO.
And yes they Sith Fury is amazing. The wings are great and the details give the whole thing a really nice texture.

This ship is the good guy counterpart!
I don't want the Phantom, give me the Imperial Fighter, need it to have dogfights with the republic version.

Very nice use of Bionicle parts! Wait, what's the proper name for parts which generally occur in Bionicle/Hero Factory sets?
It's a wow type mmo; if you enjoy wow type mmo's good chance you like it. If you think Wow's gameplay is totally boring you wouldn't enjoy it.

GIVE YOURSELF TO THE DARK SIDE!
And the set is still only $72 at Wal Mart now.
You can't stop the signal.
Give into your desire and your path to the dark side will be complete!
I put 25 hours into SW:TOR last month. It's pretty fun with a good storyline for each class. But then it began to feel like WoW with all the fetch quests. It's free to play now, so I'll go back to it eventually.

If by "stop" you mean "tell me more!", then I'm sure they will.
meh... I played Galaxies during it's initial roll-out. dammit if I didn't find that game boring. I mean, really... I'm wookie "bounty hunter" and I'm hunting butterflies? gtfo!
SW Galaxies was a sandbox MMO.
SWTOR is a themepark. With story. Might be a bit more like something you'd like...
It is F2P so trying it won't cost but some time.
EDIT if you ask me though, i won't recommend it.
Yeah. I'm the sort who tells what options there are but i don't make recommendations.
Also, that Defender lego set?
Looks great.
I ever get some money togheter, i get that one.

Whew, looks like buying the X and B Wing won't end up destroying my life after all.
So I ordered a second B-Wing during the 4/5th sale. B-Wing is on backorder. No big. But I was shipped my Hoth Han and Yoda poster (which seems odd that they'll go to the trouble to ship such a small item by itself). I get the package today and it seems Lego has seen fit to reward my wait with a "Chima Speedorz" ... I reckon it'll make an interesting cat toy.

Have you checked your order recently? My B-wing just shipped a few hours ago

In all media, only true fans who consume every book, film, game, or pog collection deserve to know what's going on.
I believe everyone who purchase X amount on May 4th got it. I got one as well. 0 interest in Chima, but heh.
Speaking of which I got my order today. Bwing, Loki's Cosmic Cube Escape, the aboved mention free Chima set and I also ordered 16 series 10 minifigs. I was gonna order 16 series 9s as well since I have never seen any in the wild, but they were sold out online. Anyway, no Mr Gold, but I did get 10 out of 16 in this hall.
If anyone needs a Grandpa or Paint baller I have 1 of each opened. I also felt the bags on 4 that I didn't open. 2 baseball players 1 clown and 1 Roman Soldier. If anyone wants to trade I need Bee Lady, Librarian, Indian Warrior, Medusa, Captain and Painter still. Since 4 of them are still packages I am going to see if I can trade them in when I go to the Lego store in 2 weeks. Do you think they will take the unopened ones back for trade?

... now with piece count.
I really dig the aesthetics design of this ship. Love the tan, grey abd green color scheme. I'll probably buy it as well.
The new Star Wars sets are being released in July, right?
Same here, it is a relief that these other sets leave me cold.
They are still leading Wetwired by like 1666 votes, but when Wet started with 0 votes, the other guys had like 3000 something votes. So Wet gained30002951 while in that time Other only gained ~1500 more. IOW, it looks like Wet may continue to out-gain and eventually pass them by, but its still too early to tell I think.

So on that note..... We'll see what happens...
Edit: at the same rate as before, in two months Wetwired would have 5902, and Other would have 5194... So if we see this result in two months from now, it'll probably be safe to say that Wet would probably win out... The big question is, can it get to 10,000!!! It has to. There has to be 5,000 Ghostbusters fans that would buy a really cool UCS Ghostbusters LEGO set; even if it "only" ends up being Ecto 1 and the Minifigs, and there have to be 5,000 LEGO fans that love Ghostbusters enough to support the set as well! I just hope that no legal crap gets in the way.
Thanks to everyone who voted and spread the word. Now we sit and play the waiting game to find out if it'll pass, I can't remember how the last one went? did it get announced as the next quarterly deadline finished?
There's actually a really good website that tracks the votes and estimates how many days it will take to reach 10000. http://blog.brick-hero.com/
Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary BrentWaller 24.89 votes per day 288 days til 10000
Ghostbusters TeeKay 12.69 votes per day 432 days til 10000
Those numbers fluctuate, I've seen mine down as low as 150 days at one point, but mine is always ahead of TeeKays
I haven't really tried to highlight the HQ in that one too much as it's likely to be the first thing to get dropped, I'd be happy with just Ecto-1 and the minifigs.
Just reading through the last few pages, I didn't expect it to reach 10000 until later tonight based on the rate it was going (around 50 per day). It had about that left when I went to bed so there was obviously a huge push while I was sleeping, which I think may have been all you guys
The thing that a Star Wars ship has to have for me is some sort of lineage to an OT imperial or rebel ship.

I love Star Wars but there's only a few ships I would ever consider buying, the X-Wing (which I bought) being one of them. I love the little A-Wing as well and would want that as a UCS set.
I should eventually get a Millennium Falcon, as it's my favorite flying hamburger, but not sure when I ever will.
As for my backlog... I only really have the rest of the Helicarrier to build, aside from my UCS X-Wing. Then I can go buy some IM3 sets.

Um....America...
Interesting... In a strangish way. You would think that you might get a call or a letter or something. I guess it remains to be seen then, what will happen. /Yoda
Is your LEGO store not close? Because if it's close, then I would be surprised that they never had any series 9 for you to dig through.
Tell us your LEGO store logistics...

All my UCS sets together. It is a little cramped on that table, and it does not really sell the size of the sets well. They are dispersed back to their display spaces. The Best Star is not pictured.

There major concern is he business side, which the creators will have little input on. They have to figure out licensing costs and if they can sell enough of a highly limited set to be worth the trouble. As cool as many of these creations are, making them based off a licensed property is always going to be a big hurdle to overcome.
