  1. I like SW Lego and all, but Lego is driving it to a point that their beating a dead horse/pinata.

    With drastic price increases, and TRU being jerks and driving everything up, the quality going down, it can only get worse.

    I know kids will always be "ZOMGSTARWARSMUSTHAVE!!" and reluctant parents will pony up the cash, but the series is on its last leg in my opinion.

    The thing about CW, is that it is a marketing thing, the only reason they made the movie is that they could sell stuff based on it. Judging on how crappy the movie was in general, Lucas is running out of ideas.

    No 457th X-wing remake please.

    AND NO MORE TIE FIGHTERS!

    WE'VE GOTTEN LIKE 500!


  2. I am kind of mad at Lego for this.

    First of all, it is 15 bucks for than it should be, 25 bucks would be tolerable, 30 is pushing it, but 35$ for a 200 piece set at TRU?

    Come on.

    I know its limited edition and all, and I know S@H has it for 30 bucks, but if you factor in shipping you lose either way.

    Anyway, the droid is OK, the legs are too thin in my opinion, and way too wobbly.

    Fox is OK, CW accessories are quite horrible as usual, *Waits for MMCB to stock his new CW accessories*.

    This is by far one of the worst of the new sets, the price point makes me want to punch Lego in the face for this almost highway robbery.

    75$ for 400 pieces?

    Phphgghgh.

  3. Just because Eurobricks members voted for Palp's arrest doesn't mean it will, there's a whole world of voters, so it is really up in the air.

  4. I'm kind of confused, ARYlegoman has 14 votes and his Bignette isn't very good... it is just a base plate with some clones thrown on there. Commandosevy's entry's also have a lot of votes and they don't seem to be prizeworthy, sorry to be mean, but I don't understand why Vig's/Big's like Fat Tony's, Oky's aren't getting all the votes they deserve, what is going on here?

    Hai guys!

    Today, I went to my local target and purchased the AT-TE and the RGS, but heres my AT-TE review:

    Alright, let me just say, that this thing is MONSTROUS! the box is huge but it is dwarfed by the size of the RGS box. Once again, Lego makes the box twice as large as necessary...

    I only got one building shot so here it is:

    The Build: It is a fun build, although too much technic for my liking, it is pretty easy except for one thing that pissed me off.

    Lego does NOT number the bags, so you have to dig around in each separate bag for what your looking for, made the build twice as long as it could have been.

    It took me roughly 4 hours with some breaks, so be prepared to invest some time making this.

    The 'Figs: the figs are OKAY, but with 8 chairs to fill, and only 2 clones, it is kind of disappointing, the Battle droid and STAP are a nice addition though:

    Anakin+Ahsoka+Big Blob'o'crap. Personally I don't really like the new faces, or that theres more non-clones than clones in this set, isn't it the CLONE WARS?! I beleive Lego is skimping on clones because their making their own giant battle.

    Other Assorted Info+More Pics:

    One thing that also is kind of sad is the interior, it is like a skeleton, like if you had to ride in this thing you would fall out, so plan on modding this set.

    RATINGS:

    Price to parts: 8/10 For 799 pieces 79.99 would be perfect, but LEGO had to be mean.

    Minfigs: 7.5/10 Only the clones are good here in my opinion.

    Detail: 7/10 The exterior looks good, but the interior needs to be modded, it is SKELETAL! SKELETAL!!!!

    Parts: 10/10 The parts are cool, like the ball turrets, and the turret on the top is cool.

    Availability: 10/10 Unless you live in a backwater town of 500, it should be 10/10.

    FINAL SCORE: 8.7891/10 I love this set, I missed the first one, and this one is great, but it could be better.

    The Aegis

    One of the 44th's strongest jungle anti-infantry attack-crafts, armed with twin rapid fire railguns and a large anti-air cannon mounted on the top, this thing is practically invincible!

    Piloted alone by Commander Altumus, you can expect heavy losses if you try to attack this machine.

    (This is probably going to be my last Jungle MOC so I wanted to go out with a bang.)

  8. WOW!

    Ton's of feedback!

    To answer some Q's:

    Wuzzupbob made the Minigun Design, and the Jedi's Mandalorian helmet.

    Closeup Pic of the Jedi, His name is Daniel Stewart. (Made it up).: 2655917195_c5819f9daf.jpg

    Commander Ajax is the sniper on the top, and Captain Aeon is the minigun-toting awesomeman.

    Arealight sold me one of his AMAZING AT-RT Helmets, so props to him.

    All the customs are hand-painted by me, as I'm too cheap to buy decent-looking ones.

  9. My Bignette entry:

    Seperatist Assault: Jungle Edition

    2667560187_010a355ec7.jpg

    After a reconnaissance mission by Clone Commander Ajax and Jedi General Daniel Stewart, they discovered a massive Separatist attack force heading straight towards to their main base of operations, they quickly made it back to the base just before the first wave arrived, they sent out a distress signal to the Republic for help, but the Republic said it would not come to the aid of so few soldiers, as they were 'expendable'. Now fighting for their lives with little chance of survival, but to their benefit, they are dead in the eyes of the Republic, freeing them from their duties, if they manage to live that long.
