Well, not too sure on what all I got, but I do know a few things. I know I got Modern Warfare 2 for the 360, an iPod touch, Ambush in Cairo, Fighter Plane Attack, Chauchilla Cemetery Battle, and the Halo Uprising graphic novel set. -'Skintas

I'm 15, and a half. And btw, my gunsafe is 5.6 long, and I have a Katana.... -'Skintas

I will be getting a large BrickArms and Brickforge order that contain many Halo based weapons and accessories, as well as a few Indy sets. Hopefully I will get some money so I can buy some of the January SW wave right after Christmas. -'Skintas

This might come on a surprise, but I collect Halo stuff. Basically any and all things Halo. I have all the novels, comics, and storyboards released. I bought the Legendary/ Collectors addition of every game. I have only a few actions figures as of now though, but am working to buy a lot more. I even went as far as to buy those little pins and magnets you see on endcaps in GameStops. Oh, and I also have a few Halo T-shirts. But I'm not a fanatic or anything. -'Skintas

Now time for my two cents on these beautiful sets. Hoth Wampa Cave: I'm glad they added the Snowspeeder, because without it, the set would just follow up with the overall blandness of the recent Hoth set. It's a good thing that there is a Pilot in the BP, because there's an empty seat. ( I think I mentioned something about empty seats in sets earlier....) I hope the Wampa is prelim, because it doesn't look like any of the limbs are mobile or detachable, and that would suck.... Plo Koon's Starfigher: Probably my favorite of the easily affordable sets, because I simply love the sleek design of the Delta-7 B. I will probably get at least two of these, so I can MOD one into the Azure Angel. I'm glad we are getting a new Astromech, but hope to God that the one there is prelim, because the three colors don't match well together. General Grievous' Starfighter: Other than the cockpit, an improvement from the last. I can tell the Grievous is taller, and of tan color. Nadahr Vebb is a great addition, and so it the little worker droid. Emperor Palpatine's Shuttle: A pretty decent looking set. The figs are great, especially the new new Clone pilot, with the larger enclosed helmet that matches the ones I believe were used at the beginning of the Empire. The Medical Droid though, is probably what sells this ship for me. Slave I: There is no better way to celebrate ESB's anniversary than with this ship. The colors and sleekeness are amazing, and Bossk. Finally, we get a Trandoshan figure so I can stop using Castle Orc heads. The only thing that could make this set better is a Bespin Guard, or two. Clone Turbo Tank: Clearly the best of the bunch. A set that finally has Aayla Secura in it. Cad Bane is a nice addition too, seeing as he is a pretty cool character. I fail to see the problem with Anakin and Ahsoka being in the set, but oh well. I would have to see a side shot of the AT-RT before I judge it, but it looks only OK from what I can see. -'Skintas

I think that having three footsoldiers and a pilot is the best way to do Battle Packs, so that way, if you loose one, or there is a set with two seats and only one person to man them, they are easy to afford, and plus, they go great if you plan on doing a hangar diorama. The reason the first Swamp Speeder pic is on Tatooine is because it was preliminary, and it may have something to do with the fact they are coming out around the same time, but I don't know. If all of you are wondering why Zev is in the BP, what you really should be wondering is why there are two of him in the ARC-170. It's the same head. So basically, it can be used as anyone you want to have orange goggles and a chinstrap. -'Skintas

The new trailer for those of you who are interested. Looks like they have some sort of V-22 Osprey with 'em. -'SKintas

I think that if the little white pupils are really that big of a deal, it would be easy to just take an ultra fine tip Sharpie, and fill 'em in. -'Skintas

They are pretty good for the most part. I must say, though, that I am not the biggest fan of the Elites. I think that the arms are too segmented, and that the shoulder armor shouldn't be sideways. The Recon is probably my favorite, although they are all pretty good. -'Skintas

A very nice review of a wonderful set. Thank you Yoda for being our tour guide today, and searrius for the presentation. I hope to see some more reviews from you in the future. Enjoy your stay. -'Skintas

So far neither the Tri-Fighter nor the ARC-170 have appeared in the CGI series, and there has been no sign of them doing so soon, so I don't think that we will necessarily see the ISP, although it would be nice. Howso? Both of the Planets in which Aayla and Plo died were mentioned in ROTS. Or (under highly unlikely circumstances I could be missing what you're saying) -'Skintas

New footage of Halo: Reach is to air at 2000 Eastern time today on Spike TV. -'Skintas

I don't see why it would be doubted that the ISP was ROTS, as it comes with a Phase II trooper, and those have only been seen in the late era of the old CW series, and ROTS, or course. (Well, they were in some of the EU from that time period, but no need to get technical.) Most of the new figs looks amazing, but I agree that the Talz head is a bit too small. In that picture, at least, their heads seem remarkably larger, but oh well. On the other hand though, the AT-AT Driver as well as TIE Pilot's helmets look a little disproportionately large. I see no need for another Barriss to be made for a Clone Wars set, as the one we're getting looks fine. And as far as I see, there are no differences in the new Kit (other than name misspelling on box) from the 2007 one, so they will more than likely just do the same with Barriss. -'Skintas

Didn't the original Kit have sand green hands? or did I just change mine? -'Skintas

Excellent work as always, clone killer. My only complaint would be the lack or arms, but I have some of those already made, so that is only a minor issue. Keep up the great work. -'Skintas

I really hope we get a new Boba, just as long as he has a detached helmet. Printing on the arms and legs would be nice. I am almost positive we will get him and Bossk though. -'Skintas

I would recommend everyone switch to Flickr. I've had a couple Flickr accounts over the last few years (so what if I didn't feel like paying to go pro ) and haven't had any problems with any of them. MOCPages is too confusing for me.... This is probably the worst thing that I've seen happen to Brickshelf. Maybe they are just closing down the site, and don't want anyone uploading anything... -'Skintas

Ashoka was a member a while back who had some pretty accurate info on Star Wars sets froma certain wave. Not sure if I was here or not, but I do remember reading a topic with Ashoka in it. But thanks for the vid Oky. -'Skintas

I honestly don't think the MB sets look half bad. I'm still slightly upset that LEGO doesn't have the license, but I'll get over it. I was actually thinking about buying one or two of the sets actually. -'Skintas

People, if you wanna buy something that appeals to you, just do it. There is no need in feeling bad. It's not like the LEGO gods are gonna damn you for blasphemy or anything. -'Skintas

I believe that everyone has their own opinion of 'good music,' and find it annoying when people think that the music they listen to is the only 'good' music. Anyway, I'm listening to Breath, by Breaking Benjamin. -'Skintas

I think when he said the cave was like the Hoth Base door, he meant it was rather under scaled and under detailed.... The new Battle Packs look pretty nice. I like how the AT-AT Driver has a more detailed helmet, and the TIE Pilot in the Defender does as well, which is great. Looks to me like the Pilot in the Rebel Battle Pack has goggles and a mic attached to them, as opposed to a full strap. The ARC is probably my favorite of the line, but am rather disappointed that we got another Kit Fisto, as I have the first ans see now remarkable differences. The new Pilots look sweet though, and the droid is pretty cool as well. (If it were only yellow or purple......) The new Tri-Fighter is a must, and the marked Rocket Droid Commander is a nice addition. I'm slightly disappointed that the Freeco doesn't have a new CAT, but the Talz and Anakin in Parka are pretty cool. I look forward to seeing all of the things Ras and KimT have been saying.

Congrats Sigfried and KimT! Er..... Sigfried and Walrus Keeper, and KimT and his wife.... I think I said it right that time. That is a nice scene you have there, seems like it was a pretty epic wedding. -'Skintas

I just placed a BrickArms and BrickForge order with a lot of Halo based stuff. Mostly a bunch of ARs and the new BrickForge Energy Swords, with some armor and pistols as well. Can't wait till they get here. -'Skintas

We should play firefight sometime. But I prefer Dutch. He has a pretty cool helmet and Death's face slapped right on him. He also probably has one of the most developed stories, and he has been in Helljumper, the game, and an Episode if Halo Legends. Can't wait to see the fig, AwesomeStar. -'Skintas
