  1. Choice 1 all the way!!! I mean, come on, the other choices would be just rehashes (except for getting an Ackbar fig with the Awing, but who likes Mr. "It's-A-Trap" anyway! ), and what could be better than a set with a new PT Palpy fig, a (new?) Mace fig, and some other Jedi all in one effordable set?! I reallyreallyreally hope this dream will come true!

    Good Wizard Set

    Yeah, unfortunately, this impulse set will probably come out in August with the other castle sets as stated on Toy Fair. This is so unfair, and I don't even understand why TLC is doing it this way! I really could have used those for Castle Month... TLC holding out on sets for a continent for over half a year OFF!!
  3. So, how did you fix it? Did you get a mouse droid to fix it? Sorry, couldn't resist. Btw, Jim, I would get that Mygeto diorama of yours done soon if I were you. It would make a great setting for the game!

    Anyone else dissapointed in their hailfire droid?

    I like the set, too, actually. I am totally satisfied with the hailfire - I mean how much detail is there to put on a small vehicle like this? Also, the only things that I think are missing are a few greebs on the sides and the little blaster below the cockpit/head... and those are easy little mods which should be fun and inexpensive to do. Being a huge fan of animation, I for one like to think of the clone wars and anything associated with it (vehicles, locations, etc.) as what we see in the cartoons, and since there are not many details to see there, I am even more satisfied with this hailfire droid.
  5. The post above reminded me of something else: There was a German parody/tibute of the MTV show "Pimp My Ride" called "Pimp my Fahrrad" (Pimp My Bike), and in one of the first episodes, they Pimped out the bicycle of a German AFOL! In the end, the whole chasis was covered in bricks! It was awesome!
  6. Well, as long as it doesn't end up taking months until the game starts... But seriously, although I am very, very excited about hthis game, I am totally fine with that since I'm having my eye surgery today and still have to catch up on some homework right now! So, I am actually thankful for this delay! That sounds like a very intereting character, but I think you are in the wrong era. This game is taking place DURING the CW, not after. You can still have found the plans for the Rogue Shadow as it could have been designed during the CW, but I think you need to think about your occupation since clones are anything but obsolete at this point. I don't have a "smirk head" and I don't think many of us do, but I would be cool with the generic bad guy head! It's nice to know that the role of the comic relief in our story is covered! On a side note, I am not sure how a rebel trooper will fit into the CW era, but as long as you don't use the rebel helmet, you should be fine! I believe you are reffering to a hologram projection pod!

    The Batplane aka. Batflyer

    Wow! Thanks Guys! I'm honored! Yeah, I know, I did some research on the term "Batplane" when I was looking for a name for my little creation, and it seems that the Batplane was kind of a prototype of the Batwing. And, you're right, it did look kinda like my Batflyer : This was also called the "Batgyro", but if you take away the helicopter part, you get pretty much what I made! Accidental Accuracy On!
  8. YES!!! How could I forget that! That was one of the greatest moments in the history of family guy when Peter explains to Lois explicitly that LEGO is not the same thing as Megablocks!

    What did you buy today?

    I decided today that I can't wait for the MTT to go on sale to get some droids and that I REALLY need some SBDs, so I got myself a droids BP. I'm quite happy with it, it's better than I thought (although I still miss the new weapons & droid arms in it ). And to make up for this gain of droids, I also got my third clones BP (I already had droids from the hailfire set and old Ep I sets, so my clones & droids are balanced now). I just love those speeder bikes somehow, don't you? However, of course I had to get a Jungle Duel as well! I haven't build it yet and probably wont - I just bought it for the figs, the weapons, and the food. Mutt's hair is great, and I am planning something special with it...
  10. I already did! Did you read my post at all? Anyway, here you go (again). (Bat)Brickfilms On!

    2008 Picture thread

    OH! Very nice! thanks for all those instructions, guys! I do hope that these aren't the Brickmaster exclusives as they look good & fun and seem to be great parts packs! Also, isn't it odd that there will be only three minis? It used to be 4! Anyway, V19, Snowspeeder, and TIE (mini) Armies ON!
  12. Interesting thread! Well there are some episodes that come to my mind: At the beginning of the Fairly OddParents episode "Pipe Down", Timmy is trying to build a several feet tall version of the Eifel Tower with "Loco" bricks! There were two sketches done with (and about) Legos in the stop motion sketch show "Robot Chicken": In the episode "Slaughterhouse on the Prairie" there is a commercial for a new LEGO line called "LEGO Babel", and in the episode "Easter Basket" the pharaoh minifig makes his subjects build a pyramid for him out of Legos, but when they run out of bricks and start using different colors and parts from other themes, they decide to bury the pharaoh alive and keep the pimped out pyramid for themselves! Good stuff! I hope that helped and that you can catch those episodes! Also, talking about this kind of stuff makes me think of the "Lego Show", a German family entertainment & game show for charity that aired in October 2003 on the SAT 1 channel. The point of the show was it for a team to complete the task of building a bridge out of DUPLOs during the 2 hour show while some of Germany's finest comedians and the young ones in the audience competed in LEGO themed games - and if the bridge was ready to carry a car by the end of the show, the team would win and some preschools in need would recieve a literal truck load of bricks! It worked, so the show had a happy ending! Sigh... Good times, good times! Yeah, that was awesome! Camping in bricks ON!!

    New contests

    How the heck is that supposed to work? I mean, it's an interesting idea, but think about it: except for choosing body parts in the same color as your sigfig, what can you do to make it look similar to it? The biggest problem there would be the head! there are many sigfigs with sig hats, and there are no hats for bionicles. Sorry.

    the droid army chronicles

    Very Good! Looks like you got my idea pitch just in time! Although you altered the climax, it came out pretty good, even better maybe! And I your technique! How did you make the transition from one copy to the other so seemlessly? I have only one remark, though: Your grammar. Yes, I know, this is not the most important thing here , but I'm just saying; just try not to put an "ing" after every verb, OK? I hope to see you in the comic game soon! Why don't you join too, vaders son? Looking forward to the next Part ON!

    2008 Picture thread

    Idk if these have been posted and/or discussed yet - if they have please forgive me, it's very hard to keep track of this humongous thread - but here are some pics of new keychains I found on BS: So what do you think? I think they look pretty good - way better than the ones we have right now at least. I might actually get one of those JSFs! Btw, is anything on the current keychains not glued? Oh, and if anybody's interested, there are some new shirts too:

    Jungle Thorns

    Interesting, but I think it might look better if you turn those things inside out so that the "thorns" are on the outside. Could you try that and post a pic? Hey, that's even better! Thanks for sharing!

    the droid army chronicles

    Very cute story indeed! I PMed you two different ideas I had! Btw, We could use stories like this in the SW CW Comic Game! Why don't you join?
  18. No, not exactly. What do you mean by "begin and end"? And when you say"customs",do you mean "MOCs"? Btw, in how much of a time span can one post take place in? I mean, what's the limit? One day?

    droids battle packs or MTT

    Hi, James, I am not sure, but I don't think there is one. I think it's because clones are cooler and more interesting, but if you want, you can start such a forum! As you are the lucky owner of an MTT now, I think you are quite qualified to do so! Since droids are plentier than clones, this could actually end up being more impressive than the clones forum! PS: Spell checking done!
  21. Hm... I think you scared everybody off with your "don't-enter-if-you're-not-good-enough" attitude in the first post. Perhaps I should have applied as well... Oh well, too late now! Good Luck everyone, I am looking forward to seeing what this competition will bring out in you!

    What are your projects ??

    I am working on a small Republic outpost (about Crystal Skull Temple size) that I can use for the SW CW Comic Game! You don't know what that is?? Well, check it out at the link of the pic below! We would be honored to welcome some more players!

    I Am Iron Man: Original Suit and Tony Stark

    Hey, That's not bad! Yeah, that head really is perfect for Stark! Man, you make want to get a Snake Oiler set now! The suit is OK, I guess. Needs work, though. Is the head a custom? If yes, it's not a very good one. Not for this suit that is. I saw the movie too! Has anyone waited through the Credits? At the end, Stark is greeted by General Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson ), director of S.H.I.E.L.D., who tells him about the Avenger Initiative! That means we might be getting an Avenger movie soon!

    Contest: Build The Chamber!

    STUPID QUESTION ALERT: What and where is Lego World? Everybody's talking about it, and I don't have a clue what it is! Also, is that the "sickness" you were talking about? Shame on you, liar! Anyway, just hurry up - and declare me as the winner already! No, seriously, this has gone on long enough!
  25. Well, I have a small blaster (for self-defense) and a custom starfighter, but not much actually. You know, I designed my character as somebody who could be visited and hired by one of the others for some kind of mechanic or pilot job and thereby get involved in the overall story. ( Wink, wink ) Throughout the story, I might aquire new, better weapons & gadgets - or even build them myself. We'll see... That's too bad btw, Palin Jax, would have been great having you here! I know it's quite a tragedy and all, but at some point we'll all have to deal with it. There are still a couple of days until this game begins, and I hope that you'll get over it in time to change you're mind! But do whatever you gotta do, man! PS: I think, it would be good, JimButcher, if you would have the list of players in the first post and would always just update that!
