[@ecxt9376]

Super underrated

[@dark_white_bricks]

I am glad to hear that! 😊Thanks for taking the time to comment!

[@ecxt9376]

@@dark_white_bricks No problem doing so

[@tyfon4429]

That. Does not suprise me…. Read my comment. Love from Amsterdam.

[@alejandro5980]

I really like what you did with the front and rear landing gear, it just feels right that way!

[@dark_white_bricks]

Thanks for your comment! I really appreciate it!

[@JekPorkbricks]

Great mods, was already planning on making the engines more detailed but this seems to be the best method to do so.

[@dark_white_bricks]

Thanks! Glad you like the mods!

[@CMRetroGaming]

great landing gear fix, simple and effective.

[@dark_white_bricks]

Thanks for the comment! Glad you like it!

[@rc-fannl7364]

Big improvement, well worth the few extra parts.

[@dark_white_bricks]

Thanks! I hope you had them in stock!

[@shikarizero]

That blaster mod is just brilliant! might try that some day. I did the same 'T' shape engine mod as you except i used the technic axle with stud (6587) instead of the flick missile (61184), is just in dark bluish gray though but looks nice.

[@dark_white_bricks]

Thanks for the comment! I will test your idea, it seem a tight fit tho wit all the one stud tiles around!

[@UrbanoDagrippino]

Some upgrades can make the set more better.... Lego should hire people in design who loves these sets

[@CLoN_GLoKo]

Definitely gonna make some of this mods too, especially the landing gear parts.

[@dark_white_bricks]

Glad you like them!

[@Supa_link]

Amazing mods as always

[@dark_white_bricks]

Thanks for the comment! Glad you like them! 😊

[@sclyse]

that reactor engine looks insane!

[@cyrildurand7785]

Super modifications ! Ça lui donne le look du UCS I love it !

[@dark_white_bricks]

Merci pour le compliment!

[@crime_dog27]

That landing gear mod looks freaking amazing!

[@dark_white_bricks]

Thank you! Glad you like it! 😊

[@altagarcha]

Finally. I love the front landing gear. When i move around the set for pictures or cleaning that piece always falls off. Thanks for the tip!

[@dark_white_bricks]

You are welcome! I did other videos if you want to see!

[@Leo.501]

Super cool mods, thx 👍

[@adisonsichampanakhone1070]

Love this set. Pretty sure they made it specifically to mod LOL. Wonder what the next official version will be like now that they have thrown out the rubber bands. Hopefully they can cover the tecnic mechanism

[@dark_white_bricks]

they made it to be cheap! And it is still very good, only little mods are needed to be nearly the best one ever!

[@Brandon_Y.]

@@dark_white_bricks aren’t you compromising the Ship’s nose structure integrity by adding the front landing gear though?

[@PatoChu]

@@Brandon_Y.the landing gear wont be touching the nose if set on the ground tho???

[@barrywatts8501]

Yeah a same I had to buy another one! Lol

[@AbsolutelyJason]

Great mods!!!

[@dark_white_bricks]

Thanks! Glad you like them!

[@correctopinion4708]

veeery good video thank you! only problem with the ship is that the very front is a bit loosely connected imo, would love to see what you could come up with for that issue, i couldn't as the piece that would fix the 2x6 tile not connecting doesn't exist

[@dark_white_bricks]

Thanks for your comment! I saw this but it wasn’t a big issue for me, even my kids are able to play with without breaking it apart.

[@barrywatts8501]

R2d2 sits too proud. I dropped him down and pulled those later canon bits dishes forward. But love the other adjustments you done. Will have to do them. I got donated a load of bricks the other week over 7009 bricks and all sorts from loads of different kits. Make a snowspeeder and a atst do far!!

[@dark_white_bricks]

Funny, my 2 first moc were also a snowspeeder and a ATST, you can see them in the video I made about my hoth diorama!

[@robertzimmerman80]

Super mod. Je l'ai fait et j'adore. Merci.

[@dark_white_bricks]

Cool que la vidéo t’aie été utile! et merci pour le commentaire!

[@AleXDtmp]

wow sweet modifications, is there any chance you could share the list of parts used to order them?

[@dark_white_bricks]

Thanks for the compliment! Sorry i never ordered the parts, I used my own collection!

[@jonathanrichter9068]

Is there a parts list ? would be awesome to make the changes.

[@dark_white_bricks]

Sorry I never used bricklink, you need to check yourself with the part you see at the begining 😉

[@somethingawesome9547]

This scale X-Wing is the closest LEGO has ever gotten to true minifig scale. Same with the downsized TIE. Both sets are a little below minifig scale, but it's still closer to 1:1 than all the previous system scale variants, which were more oversized than these were undersized. Hope that makes sense.

[@dark_white_bricks]

Indeed! I personally prefer this set over the UCS ones including the last one, because this playset is at a better minifig scale! I try to have everything at this scale for placing in MOCs or displaying next to each other.

[@floppagomo]

Great mods

[@staniley884]

Great job and where did u get all the parts pls

[@dark_white_bricks]

Thanks! I used my own stock. I did buy several second hand mixed boxes so I have a big amount of pieces!

[@staniley884]

@@dark_white_bricks i just get today 75218 so i dont need to upgrade 😊 .. thanks for your answer great job

[@Demaistoss]

Hi, can you provide the list of all pieces use for the modifications ? thx : )

[@dark_white_bricks]

Hello! Sorry I didn’t made one, maybe somebody here did?

[@Nighthawk6827]

I don’t know what Lego was thinking with having R2 stick out like a sore thumb. But at least modding the astromech slot would sink R2 down a bit.

[@jakub9904]

Amazing, I’m waiting for more videos like that, maybe for some ties or atte

[@dark_white_bricks]

Thanks for your comment! 😊 Did you checked my channel? there are other videos already! 😉

[@jakub9904]

@@dark_white_bricks Awesome, I will 😍

[@DanieleilDragone]

can you show in a short video how create a support for the set? I want place it on the bookshop but i don't know how do the support.

[@dark_white_bricks]

hello, thanks for your comment! I did a video here Lego stand tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3ulnIairt6EbMk

[@yuyu0817]

Very useful

[@Picoz245]

By the way, I saw TommyCBrick's mods and he did a blaster mod, but he didn't make them larger. You could maybe try to do his method AND enlarge the blasters, since I don't have the set. I would love to see that.

[@dark_white_bricks]

hello! thanks for your comment! I will check theses modification you are speaking about! thanks!

[@88sakurawars]

Great mod! Could you tell me which parts you used? I wish to buy them in bricklink!

[@dark_white_bricks]

Thank you! Sadly I don’t know the pieces number, I used pieces I had in my collection. Maybe you have also some? Or maybe you can find some if you buy bulk lego!

[@mircojovanovic3134]

I like the Cockpit mod

[@semillakan6]

Awesome mod I love it any chance you can share the part list for bricklink???

[@dark_white_bricks]

Sorry I never used bricklink, you need to check yourself with the part you see at the begining 😉

[@dustoftime1904]

Ich habe für die Waffen die Kerzen angenommen, die Stangen wie du gedreht aber als Spitze Lichtschwertgriffe verwendet. Außerdem habe ich die Nase mit 2x4 Flügeln verbreitert. Die Lücke zwischen r2 und dem Rumpf habe ich mit 1x2 Platten verschlossen, man kann ihn nicht mehr entnehmen aber es sieht besser aus.

[@dark_white_bricks]

I tried also the same method for R2 but as my kids play with my sets It was not an option for me!

[@superstoeremario]

Do you perhaps have the parts list? Makes ordering the extra pieced easier :)

[@dark_white_bricks]

sorry I dont, but it is common pieces maybe you have some in you inventory?

[@Icy-zk9rh]

Is the reactor moving?

[@dark_white_bricks]

The piece can rotate but the friction is high enough that it stays in place!

[@davids2361]

Do you know the part number of the pin you used in the middle of the engines? Or the name? Great mods!

[@dark_white_bricks]

It is a flick fire missile, (LEGO® 6347715 - 61184 - Technic, Pin 1/2 with 2L Bar Extension (Flick Missile))

[@davids2361]

@@dark_white_bricks Thank you for the information! Off to Bricklink I go. 😂

[@djmadmike23]

Anyone have a part list for the moss?

[@dark_white_bricks]

It should be easy to find the pieces with the visual list at beginning. And there are common pieces, maybe you have them in your spare? I had.

[@andrewgarcia4840]

How do you get the pieces needed 🤔

[@dark_white_bricks]

Personnally I bought several boxes of mixed used legos, And I use the pieces in my MOCs and modifications, you can also order them on bricklink

[@TheLevitatingChin]

Step 1: Build Jerec's X Wing MOC Step 2: Throw this lego one in the parts bin.

[@dark_white_bricks]

step 3: cry because you spent a fortune on bricklink 😅

[@just_violet]

I think I'll just get the 2018 one, it looks soooo much better

[@dark_white_bricks]

I did a comparison video between the last 3, but it is in french!

[@just_violet]

@@dark_white_bricks Ohh my bad, I don't understand a single word in french XD

[@dark_white_bricks]

i compared several aspects and It was close between the 2018 and the 2021, and even with the mods for the 2021, the 2018 won!

[@dark_white_bricks]

It will just be more difficult and very expensive to buy the 2018 tho…

[@PatrickSchmidt-r8u]

Anybody here who has a list of the parts no (Lego) which needed for the modifications, please?

[@dark_white_bricks]

Watch the begining of the video, I filmed all the parts you need

[@dark_white_bricks]

With some minor mods it will be even better! I did a video on it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqWveaWHZ5iLrpo

[@aaaaaaaaaaaa899]

I don't have a X wing but ye

[@tyfon4429]

Nice you show of but with that speed and no partlist there is no clue of what you are doing…

[@dark_white_bricks]

did you checked at the beginning of the video? I filmed all the part you need. I didn’t made a bricklink order, it is the parts I had in stock. And for the speed you can change it on youtube, make it as slow as you need!

[@Jeerin_]

Front nose thing is bad

[@dark_white_bricks]

It doesn’t bother me personally

[@ericluscombe3272]

curious how come you didn't put 4 pieses inside the engine piece

[@dark_white_bricks]

I am not sure to understand your comment, but I did put 3 because the movie model looks like this.

[@ericluscombe3272]

cool i didnt realize that it only had 3 in movie cool it makes it look so much better i changed my front landing gear to how you did it way better so THANKS!!!!!

[@dark_white_bricks]

You are welcome! happy that my video helped you!
