      …or they could’ve just went ahead and finish out the bottoms. I agree with the OP…it’s weird. Is it a rule or cost cutting thing with lego?

        Not sure of the answer but I will say the unfinished bottoms allowed me to mount them to technic bricks and attach them to the wall with 3D printed mounts. With smooth plates on the bottom you’d need some complicated stand like they have with some of the bigger sets like the Discovery shuttle or Enterpise.

        I wouldn’t really consider this that big of a deal outside of a case like OPs where they want to hang them from the ceiling. Additionally, if you think about it, nearly every other Lego set is made the same way you just don’t normally hang something like Hogwart’s Castle or the Saturn V from the ceiling to notice it.

        So, they do with some sets but not with others. As I said, it’s the thing that bothers me the most about Lego.

    I mean you could probably add some cool extra gun emplacements, maybe some battle damage, or even lights.

    They do not really look that far off of what they look like normally, besides being made out of plastic building bricks instead of plasteel.

      I want little details though… Like the rollers mixed in with a some of those pieces that have 3 lines on them and then there’s one of those arms thingy… I just want more greebels.

        you want to customize your lego builds but don’t want to put in the effort to customized them.

        not sure what you’re looking for here.

          Well, I’m not looking for anything here. I was just making a statement about Lego with a picture.

    It’s Lego 🤷‍♂️

    I wish that other brands would get the star wars license. Especially bluebrixx. That would improve quality so much while decreasing price by half or so.
