Da Death Star!

8963 Rock Wrecker Set #:8963. Theme:Power Miners. Release date:Summer 2009 Peice count:225 Minifigs:2 List Price:$44.99 CAD/$34.99 US Instead of blabbering on about completely irrelevant things, I'm going to go straight into the Review. Part 1:The box. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Imperial...te_file_041.jpg The Front of the Box. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Imperial...te_file_042.jpg The top of the Box. Apparently the big Rock Monster has a name, Geolix, Interesting. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Imperial...te_file_045.jpg The back of the Box. The Box is pretty simple, but it does it's job well Part 2:Contents of the box Unfortunately, I didn't get any pics of the bags and DSS(Wich wasn't too bad this time)because I was too excited to build it and I got home Late. But I do have a Picture of the Instructions. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Imperial...te_file_047.jpg The front. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Imperial...te_file_049.jpg Random Page. Showing the finishing touches on the top part. The back is the exact same as the last hundred instruction books that had it, except instead of the Naboo Fighter set, it's the new AAT for the SW set. With this set, the bags were numbered, wich I was quite grateful for. Part 3:The Minifigs http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Imperial...te_file_050.jpg The Minifigs. As you can see, Geolix is gigantic compared to a regular Fig. He's definitely bigger than I expected. The Miner is the same one as in the Claw Digger, so no more pics of him. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Imperial...te_file_051.jpg A solo Closeup of 'ol Geolix. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Imperial...te_file_052.jpg Left side. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Imperial...te_file_053.jpg Back view. This is pretty much the only good view of the Trigger. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Imperial...te_file_054.jpg Right side. Part 4:The set http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Imperial...te_file_057.jpg Front view. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Imperial...te_file_059.jpg Left side. You can clearly see the Flick missile. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Imperial...te_file_060.jpg Back. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Imperial...te_file_061.jpg Right side. The net launcher got cut off in this pic, oops. Part 5:New and Interesting parts http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Imperial...te_file_062.jpg The saw blade isn't new, but I believe this is only the second set to have them. The T-Bar isn't new either, but it's new to me. The windshield piece has the same explanation as the T-Bar. The Circular Piece is Quite old, but it seems to be making a comeback this Year. The Lime slope is the only genuinely new piece here, unfortunately it ends up stickered. Part 6:Features There is a Safe part in the back wich holds 2 Crystals. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Imperial..._review_001.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Imperial..._review_002.jpg And theres the removable cockpit roof. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Imperial..._review_003.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Imperial..._review_004.jpg (Yes, thats a Coffee-maker) And the rest of the Features. Part 7:The ratings Peices to Price Ratio: 3/10 Minifigures: 7/10(Would have been a 10/10 if it was a new Miner) Detail: 8/10 Playability: 8/10(The Flick missile and rock throwing action work surprisingly well. Net launcher sucks like always.) Parts: 3/10(Only 4 new parts.) Availability: 5/10 Design: 9/10 Overall rating: 43/70 Notes:What I thought was interesting was that on both the arms of Geolix, it said 2008 the Lego group. Not 2009. wich means that Lego either slipped one of the tester pieces into my box, or they already had started production on the Summer PM sets before we even knew of them. (_)DDS(_)

Are you sure?Because River Chase(Indiana Jones)on S@H is 26 EUR, and is only $28 CAD.(_)DDS(_)

About $26 . I am interested as well, but it depends.(_)DDS(_)

When I saw the title I thought it was going to be kind of like IA . But I'd like to join. I have a Fig made up that would be perfect. (_)DDS(_)

Sets. But I also have some miscellaneous minifig parts that my friend gave me. (_)DDS(_)

Personally Vi zink vee zhould go back to ze train zhed and look vor more parts, and eenztall ze Crocodile Rod. Vi am !

Lego Battles is on S@H!Not officially though, but theres a little ad for it on the main page. Unfortunately its listed as Unavailable. But still ! Sorry if its a dupe. (_)DDS(_)

Welcome !SW fan, huh?I'm assuming that's where the name comes from . The reason that you can't PM anyone is because you have to have a certain amount of posts(Not sure how many). Same thing with searching Members Topics and posts. (_)DDS(_)

I found this place through a friend. The very first thing I saw on the frontpage was the Review for the Temple of Akator. I increasingly started coming back, and after a month or two, I joined. PART 2:The SOB account: Then after being a member for a while, my account screwed up and locked me out. I didn't make another account for a while. but eventually I did. (_)DDS(_)

*Raises hand*Vi do !Zis room iz creepy .

Personally Vi think vee should go back to ze Shed and look for more parts. *Ahem*Rello Ruffy, ri ron't rereive re've ret refore. Reased ro reet rou.*Sticks out hand*

Ack!Are vou alright Pete?Vee must be careful down here, Vee don't vant to get hurt.*Starts rummaging around*

*Yawns**Cracks back*Ah, nothing like a nice long sleep. A Trapdoor?Intriguing. . . . . . . Hey Pete, vould you like me to go down vith you?

Ah, I remember zis beaut. She vas a fine train in her time. Zhall vee take a look inside?*Yawns*But I'm. . . . .Just*Snorts*. . . .going. . .to just close my. . . . .EyeZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Vell Zmashing ze wall up didn't help vone bit. Could zomeone hand me a Torch?It'z dark in here .

Eet looks like zere iz bad news and good news zen. Good news:Vee vound a part, and ze bad news would be zat it iz dark outside. Now vee must be extra careful here.

Phew!*Wipes forehead*It iz good to know that vou are not seriously injured Brakes, now lets get ze parts we need and leave bevore somevone else gets hurt.

*Starts alternately tugging on both the metal bar and Brakes*Damn!Zis place has turned into a death trap!Not like it vasn't already vone though

I'm thinking of purchasing some ARC gear from MMCB,and need to know if the double Waist holster for DC-17s will fit over the ARC waistcape(Style 2).And also,I'm thinking of purchasing some Clone and Droid blasters from The Little Arms Shop,and I need to know if the Weapons are definitely black(Since the pictures don't really designate the color that well). (_)DDS(_)

Not zat I know of. Besides, it's not like anyone's trying to leave. *Begins rummaging in the parts* .

*Cough**Hack*Zorry,its ze dust.I haven't been here for a while,so its gotten a bit,run down lately.*Crouchs down and looks under a table*Geez!There iz like,an inch of dust here!

Vell,no vone actually lives zere,though I do live near it.But zere izn't anyone else that works zere exzept me as var as I know.

Zorry about ze accent,I vill try and tune it down a bit.Now,Shall vee get going?

That was Rook.But back on topic:I too think a Seperatist Landing Craft would make for a great set,it could maybe have 30 BDs,3 Pilot droids,3 Droideka's,and 10 SBDs.Oh,and of course an MTT. (_)DDS(_)
