Clone Captain Fordo was made with custom decals, pauldron, kama and painted helmet and is armed with a custom blaster. If you want to learn more about Captain Fordo in the Star Wars Universe, please read below. Captain Fordo and his squad were instrumental in the attack on Muunilinst, infiltrating the city and disabling a massive artillery cannon, even after their LAAT/i was shot down. As the bulk of the Republic forces took advantage of this to breach the city, he aided Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi in a surgical strike on the enemy headquarters, leading to the capture and surrender of key members of the InterGalactic Banking Clan leadership, including Chairman San Hill. Shortly thereafter, Fordo helped defeat the formidable bounty hunter Durge, despite being injured in the fight.

Slated to be released for the Star Wars 3 3/4" line, Badger Bricks is giving fans what they want months in advance. Here is some more information about this great LEGO custom:"As seen in the Clone Wars Animated Series, the V-19 Torrent Starfighter is entirely custom made from approximately 250 brand new and good condition parts selected specifically for this model. The V-19 Torrent Starfighter is 140mm in length and has huge a 280mm wing-span in its normal landing position. The model features hinged twin airfoils that fold beneath the starfighter and an innovative rotating rear tail that revolves 180 degrees underneath the starfighter for its normal flight position. The model also benefits from a modified enlarged front air-intake and a fully specced cockpit including control stick and computer panel. The model comes complete with an official Clone Pilot minifigure and is to be supplied fully constructed and ready to be played with or displayed."  Prototypes of the Slayn and Korpil V-19 Torrent starfighter were first introduced at the Battle of Geonosis. Having proven their worth as an assault fighter with exceptional speed and maneuverability, the Republic quickly produced V-19s to add to the arsenal of the growing clone army. Because of the months of training it took for the Republic's clone trooper pilots to become proficient with the vessel, the fighter was not available in large numbers for some of the early engagements of the war, but they made a prominent showing during the Battle of Muunilinst. Initially designed as a short-range fighter, Republic technicians later added a Class-1 hyperdrive to equip the vessel for escort missions. The ship is unique in that it has two pairs of folding airfoils that give the ship added maneuverability and provides pilots with easy access to the ship's sliding canopy. The lower split airfoils coupled with enhanced repulsorlift engines make the ship an exceptional vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) fighter.

This custom will enhance anyone's Lego Star Wars collection. I really like how mightyhutt has captured the essence and feeling of Luke living on the Moisture Farm and the way the two levels of the Farm sit nicely on top of each other. If you look closely at one of the pictures in his auction, you can see where he recreated the scene where Luke, Owen, and Varu were discussing Luke's plans to join the academy. Here is how mightyhutt created this great scene, with some surprise extras on how to make different scenes: "The model is built from over 450 genuine Lego parts, the vast majority of which are new, and I have tried hard to find the right parts for the job to make it look as realistic as possible and to make it as playable as possible. The model consists of an upper ‘surface’ level with a moisture vaporator, farm objects and a domed building with steps that lead down into the underground home. There are several rooms around the outside of the model including a kitchen/diner, bedroom for Owen and Beru, bedroom for Luke, and the workshop which includes the oil-bath and a rack of tools. In the centre of the model is the sunken courtyard of the home with windows and doors leading off to the rooms, and two more vaporators in the middle. The model comes complete with a Luke Skywalker minifig with binoculars, and custom Owen and Beru minifigs. I have included a CD containing over 100 digital photos, detailing all aspects of the model’s construction inside and out. This will help in restoring any pieces that have come off during transit, and should enable you to re-build the entire model should you wish to build other models from it, then re-build it in the future."  This one of a kind custom is available on eBay so be the first to own this great scene and add to your ever growing Lego Star Wars collection with this great Custom Moisture Farm!
