The best of the Droid Escape Pod is the minifigures of R2-D2 and C-3PO. They are missing from the recent Mos Eisley set. Luke's speeder should have the two droids at the back and Obi-Wan on board. I can take them to use in that scene. And the pod is used for this Sandtrooper search scene.
I don't really like stickers as many LEGO fans do but I'm ok with it this time. The price of this set is ok. At least, I feel the purchase is way better than the "Battle on Takodana" set (75139). I strongly recommend this set.
The "sand" bricks are from the LEGO store in Honolulu. Because of the luggage's weight issue, I only got a large cup. I use the bricks to build a perfect slot for the escape pod. The whole thing looks pretty good on a 32 x 32 board. I think I will keep this scene as display for quite a while (won't put it in box very soon).
Hello, I came across your blog and this post and absolutely love this scene! I really want to recreate it as the original Escape Pod was my first ever LEGO Star Wars set! I was wondering where you got those stormtroopers? Thanks!
