What do galactic marines have to do with the color of Plo Koon's lightsaber? And where do you plan on getting a yellow blade? I would like to have one too!

This might sound a little awkward, but even though I use Obi Wan to represent myself here on EB, I am probably more the Anakin Skywalder type. See, usually I am a verry good hearted person that only good things happen to. I am good with animation and artistic stuff, and that's the only thing I am good at. Without that, I probably wouldn't have any successful carrier in prospect, just like Anakin would have stayed a slave on Tatooine without his strong force powers. Both Anakin and I have made a significant journey (Tatooine - Coruscant / Germany - California) to be taught and to perfect the only thing we are good at. I am now living close to Hollywood and am a student at the Art Institute, so, like Anakin, I am on the way to become one of the best of my kind (Animator) and hopefully will. However, when I am under presure, I tend to do really stupid things for my own benefit that end up hurting me (and others) more than being helpful. I don't know why I do, it's just that way, and I'm trying to change. Nevertheless, in a stressfull situation, I am likely to do a stupid, spontaneous thing that will drive me to the dark side for good just because I think this would benefit me somehow , just like Anakin ended up joining the emperor in order to save the person he loved! But as I am actually a very good person, I would leave the darkside once my family needed my help, just like Vader turned against the emperor to save his son! Yes, I do have a lot of issues! But that's exactly why I relate to Anakin so much! Please don't hate me for this!

Yes, you read right! The Castle sets are finally available in the US, along with the release of the Agents! And that 50th Anniversery Special Edition Brick Box and one of the new racers sets was there too! I got my Mine defender, Troll Assault Wagon, and 2 of Mission 1 - Jetpack Pursuit of the Agents line today! I'll post a review of the latter later today.

YAY! I'm hilarious!

Yeah, but Mace Windu had a blue lightsaber in Jedi Power Battles! This game has been released a little ahead of its time and was therefore kind of inaccurate IMO. Also, I don't think it was supposed to be cannon. So, JPB isn't exactly a good reference, but I have to admit that a yellow lightsaber suits Plo Koon very well. I guess it's up to you if you believe the old video games and action figures or the new movies - or the rumor that Plo Koon might own different lightsabers... However, this particular minifig has been modeled after the portrayal of Plo Koon in the new cartoon where he has a blue saber as seen in the new trailer. Therefore, it's actually accurate. He still looks better with a yellow one though! Maybe we can exchange the blade... if there is a trans-yellow blade out there that is... Is there? Anyone? Well, if not, the trans-orange one from the Mini Podracers or the normal yellow one from the Jungle Duel set will do, I think.

Yeah, seriously, why is everybody acting like they haven't seen the Toy Fair pics lately? Anyway, I would be happy if the sets would come out in July already! As for the DS set, I agree that there is a lot to put in instead of TIEs! I bet it will include a little trash compactor part and the control room where R2 & 3PO are hiding! Hopefully also a little cell block! DS ON!

You're right, there isn't any cartoon, but the designs are there! In the first paragraph of this thread, I provided links to the maquettes that these figs are based on.

Meanwhile, at the edge of the deserted industrial section of Coruscant, starship designer Oky Wan Kenobi was minding his own business. It was his day off, so he decided to continue working on his personal starfighter. It's a ship Oky Wan was building to test a new design of Jedi starfighter he was working on, the Jedi Interceptor. He buit it out of the wreckage of a Koro-2 Exodrive airspeeder that he found in a junkyard. The guy at the junkyard said that it was found in front of the Outlander Club a few years ago. Oky Wan was constantly changing the design and, therefore, was always on a quest for the newest starship parts. He had received an offer from a trader called Moda Annix the other day. So, Oky Wan told him to meet him by the deserted industrial section at 3:30 that day. Oky Wan arrived in his ship at the meeting place exactly on time, and so did Annix. He parked his starfighter and walked toward the trader, already inspecting the goods that were put on display. They seemed to be in a good shape and Oky Wan had a good feeling about this. Annix greeted him friendly and started talking about the parts. About ten minutes later, their deal was almost sealed, when suddenly they heard intense blaster fires coming from the deserted industrial section! At first, they believed the shots were directed at them, but quickly they realized that their was some kind of battle going on on the roof tops of the buildings nearby. Being the good-hearted souls they were, they decided to go in and see if somebody needed their help. Oky Wan rushed to his ship to get his blaster, while Moda took out the cortosis sword that he always carried with him. Once they were armed, they hurried toward the noise. Little did they know what kind of trouble they were getting themselves into... When I saw that nobody was posting any actual comics, I was a little disappointed, so I decided to begin with it! No offense, though, you guys have some pretty mad writing skills! So, what do you think? I am pretty proud of that ship! I think, it looks awesome! The background is nothing special really, just something I threw together to make a nice little scene. Can you spot the recycled part of my Block-Block entry? The fence was inspired by those gates in the LSW video games that keep you from entering secret sections! Anyway, I hope that we will now be seeing more comics as this is supposed to be a comic game. Also, I am looking forward to a cool battle scene with drug dealers and clones! If somebody wants to use me in their scene and doesn't have this Batman gun, you can use a drill instead. Comic Game ON!

Actually, a shirtless fleshie male torso does exist! Well, OK, maybe it's not exactly fleshie, more like pink, and he's got those moles over his chest, but it's the best thing I could come up with! The only thing you would have to do is to make a toga decal to put over it! I hope that helped!

I love the new mustangs too, but, under circumstances, I would prefer something like this:

Ywah, I don't get that at all either. I mean, what was the point in releasing the cheapest CW set at the beginning of the year instead of together with the others anyway? What were they thinking? "Hey, let's release the cheapest set waaay ahead of time, before anyone even knows about the movie, and release all the expensive ones when the movie comes out, so that prople only have those left to buy"? Not nice, TLG!

Hm... interesting that people find it more horrifying to having to listen to Jar Jar sing than the fact that Bad Kids have to saw their own hands off to free themselves... but who can blame them! The thing with the saw is a SAW refference, you know. BTW, I just noticed a horrible detail about my entry that wasn't even intended: Jar Jar isn't wearing any pants!!! And you thought it couldn't get any worse!

Yeah, Obi Wan's hair will probably be pretty smooth in the end, like it was at Toy Fair:

Hey, Palin Jax, would it be OK if I would use a TIE Fighter Pilot instead of a Shadow Trooper? I think the two look quite alike and I am too cheap to get a Stormtrooper BP. He would still have a Jango head!

Same here, buddy! I just built the starfighter I was talking about and am now finishing work on my little Republic outpost! The starfighter looks kickass!... If you like Green that is. Starting the game ON!

OKY WAN KENOBI Enlightening people since 1988! My Motto: "Yes, I am your only hope!" Nah, don't mention it, buddy! Indeed it would! I like the sound of that!

OMG! His puma is made out of minifig body parts! What kind of horrible person is this?!? Good job!

Load them onto your Brisckshelf and post them here! But hurry, today is the last day! No pressure, though! Oh, and welcome to the game!

Nah! it would have to be Boba's! The point would be for my character to wear green clone trooper armor... But I guess he is too rare... Oh well, I'll figure something out during the game. Btw, I thought of a really cool starfighter for my character! It's a fusion of many existing fighters, but mostly it's half ETA 2, and half Zam Wessel's airspeeder! Now let's do this thing already! Being patient ON!

SERIOUSLY!!! I'm sorry, but it's getting really annoying now.

Why would you want to exchange ventress' head with a non-cartoony one? The only refference of Ventress we have is the cartoons! Besides, she's an alien, and I think that all aliens are usable in both the real and animated SW universe. Btw, did anyone notice that her Lightsabers connect to a double blade in the movie? Would have been cool if their Lego versions would be able to do that!

Sweet! Sounds promising; can't wait to see it!

I'm sorry, Tarfful, but I will have to disagree with you. Although you are right by saying that we already know what kind of set this will be and that choice 2 might be a little misleading, I think that we all know what choice 2 really means and that you are kinda wrong about your view of this poll IMO: it's not a "coulda, woulda, shoulda" kind of thing, but more like a opinion, dreams, and wishes kinda thing. Therefore, I think there is a point to this poll: to see what kind of MCC set people would prefer! Thanks! And yeah, a Tantive would be good (if it would have a better interior than the Republic Cruiser ), especially if it's the one from EP III that includes minifigs like Yoda, Obi Wan, and... Bail Organa! Maybe even with Raymus Antilles and pilot Jeremoch Colton! That would be great!

I like that idea, although I would have no clue what book/poem to chose! All I read is SW & Harry Potter! Wait a minute... maybe that's not a bad idea! I could create a scene from one of Timothy Zahn's books! I definitely like the sound of that!

Hey, James, how is part four coming along?
