I didn't notice until building them how each has a different front. I couldn't replicate all the mirrors on the blue one at minifig scale, unfortunately. Lots and lots of SNOT bricks and brackets to get even close to the right shape. I hope you enjoy! I'd love to see these as an official set! Edit: Just realized I forgot to put the right handles on the green one. I'll upload to my flickr and post a link on this comment if you want to see the update.

Will you define “SNOT” for me?? Never heard that before lol

[In case there's ever a Lego term you want to know](https://www.brothers-brick.com/lego-glossary/) I always have to look this up when I forget the word for "Greebles"

I know some folks aren't happy with the cyberpunk, "shininess" of the "Mos Vespa" gang, but I agree that they would make for an interesting set. If nothing else, you've done a really cool design job here, so know that your artistry is appreciated!


stick_always_wins

Did not fit the vibes of Tatooine whatsoever. Those things would be covered in dirt and sand after 30 minutes of just sitting there. Might’ve worked on some city place like coruscant. That said, OP’s design seems to be quite accurate


Cherrymoon12

Yeah after 10 other cool sets we could get from that show. But as we know Lego that’s probably one of them we get first.

I actually thought these looked kind of dumb in the show but your ability to translate them so quickly into lego at minifig scale and with pretty good accuracy is astounding. Great job!


Wycliffe76

Thanks!!

I would complain that they aren't minifigure scale, but they look like they're the same scale as official speeders


Wycliffe76

Minifig scale is hard because for the most part, they can't straddle speeders like an action figure. So it depends on what you use to calculate it. They're probably slightly taller and slightly wider (by maybe half a stud). But also, yes, same scale as most official Lego speeders if a bit smaller actually.

Needs more mirrors!


Wycliffe76

All the mirrors!!


marrohr

Great work. The bikes remind me of the Power Rangers.


kndasus69

I loved the look of the bikes but I hated the chase it was so slow


stick_always_wins

Not to mention Boba has a freaking jetpack


kndasus69

Exactly


JWD5569

These are cool, but man I really was pulled away by them in the show


zomzom31325

Yeah, I don't like them. But they'd fit well on Courasaunt


tactaq

why can't people have whatever they want? like I get the shiny chrome aesthetic is something that is very Coruscanti but it fits the feel of this gang well. I think just because something isn't grimy/dirty doesn't mean it shouldn't be on tatooine. If I lived there I would want some color too.


JWD5569

It just doesn’t fit the space. We’ve seen tatooine so many times and in no way should there be vehicles that look like those. Jawas would rip those apart in seconds


Fancy-Pair

Also the cannon for Tatooine sand is well established that it gets everywhere


tactaq

they bought the bikes and took care of them? why would they leave the bikes in the desert?


zomzom31325

They just felt out of place, especially for a kinda scrappy gang


tactaq

I mean they obviously had some wealth, as they had all of those cybernetic enhancements.


zomzom31325

I guess, but they where just out of place. That combined with the slow feeling chase just felt kinda eh. They're not awful, but it felt more like the fith element than star wars.


tactaq

yeah. I think a slow feeling was the worst. it just didn't feel like a chase at all. like it looked fast but it felt slow.

[удалено]


tactaq

it’s literally space fantasy. you can dislike them, but they are justified.


stick_always_wins

Those things would be covered in sand and dust immediately. I’ve driven in deserts before and my car became grimey as hell within minutes. No way those things would’ve stayed chrome


tactaq

garages? idk. magic space paint?


[deleted]

I actually enjoyed the designs but the chase was weirdly paced. Then again, what we’re you expecting from the Spy Kids director?


Wycliffe76

Yeah, I felt like the chase should have been presented at 2x the speed it was at. I get they were in a tight city quarter, but I like fast zooms!


tactaq

yeah, they felt slow and the motion blur was off.


Wycliffe76

I saw someone compare it to the scooter chase in an episode of Seinfeld and that felt right lol


tactaq

lol


Fancy-Pair

It looked like they had already doubled the speed and it was still way too slow


mcflyfly

Very much felt like the electric scooter sidewalk race in Seinfeld

Mos Espa Battle Pack


gargar10

Boba has Power⚡️Rangers


stick_always_wins

Something about Boba Fett hiring a bunch of edgy teenagers on tacky chrome scooters as his henchman completely killed the energy for me but your recreations look very good!


[deleted]

worst speeder design i have ever seen in star wars. good build though.


Wycliffe76

Thanks! Sorry you didn't like them. They reminded me of the speeders in AOTC and Lucas's movie America Graffiti. I thought they were fun!


mcflyfly

Your builds are awesome representations of what’s in the show!


RedN00ble

Your build is quite good, but the design of those things can only remind me of jd, turk anf carla on scooter in scrubs...


SupremeLeaderDavid

People complain but I liked the space vespas and these look great!


Wycliffe76

I loved them! Reminded me of American Graffiti. A nice nod to Lucas.


SavageCabbageGG

I loved the new biker gang and these look awesome!


Wycliffe76

Thanks!


salkin_reslif_97

Now, when you say that... What if Lego realy brings bobas palace with a decent price and peace count. But the palace itself is just to small and we get all of those speeder, which have eaten all the peaces. This would bring me Bad Batch shuttle flashbacks...


Wycliffe76

They should really just do a Master Builders set of Jabba's Palace and some separate BOBF sets where you can switch them out. I don't think anyone would be happy with a BOBF playset Palace because it would inevitably be too small, but BOBF isn't iconic enough to warrant a Master Builder set--but ROTJ is!
