    The Tornado Of Souls

    Very beautiful ship there- i'm little iffy what comes to bricksails - well they looks surprisingly good- but crosses aren't suitable for a pirate ship...they are too spanish/portuguese style and old 15th , 16th century style...

    The Secret Of Castle Rock Cove!

    These gigantic dios are great- cave is excellent addition- so piratey -but there is one problem- all are similar looking- because of those rocks- they are great- but i would like to see flatter island for a while- like the sandy beaches of Bahamas (like in the works of Howard Pyle) or something similar- however i know that building giant rocks is more funny than flat beaches

    How did you like the Clone Wars TV series?

    Well actually that isn't senseless- well anything that don't let the light through it casts a shadow- lightsaber glow -but they aren't transparent- so they do cast a shadow- it feels strange but so they seem to do in movies (actually only in ep3 the shadow can be seen though) but after all it isn't biggest problem in the series if you ask me...

    Arealight Twi'lek

    I agree- these are very well done- but i think that printed body curves are enough for these minifig-babes

    Grievous is good- if i can modify his arms- (i hope those are standard clips in his shoulders) now the fourhanded form looks stupid - why they did such a poor design to the arms - neck is bit long (looks more like one from the old cw-cartoon ) well he is now Grievous figure- instead of odd white battledroid as the old one was.... never even got him...

    I disagree almost always with you guys- Coronet here is cool looking big luxury ship and i do like it's design tactical droid rumour is very interesting- yeah it says "tactical droid" but doesn't look like it- well i am getting Ctt anyway- tacticals or not Well Aurra is as useful as Shanan Alama (Weequay)- but yeah there should have been a commandodroid instead of that poor ig-droid design - well at least possibility to get senate commandos without buying a Venator sounds good...

    Oh here are the figs- great collection here want them- but Grievous has very ugly hands- why there is stupid system like that- oh well i may know how to correct that for my mod- when i'll get him

    Most Hated!

    Well and Falcon isn't? Twilight is very very very classic star wars style like At-At- or Star destroyers, X-wing -they are boxy and junk-looking but that is why they are cool- so i strongly i disagree about Twilight's design - however lego set was not very good- it was simply too small- far too small... Supers look good to me- they look legopieces enough- but i agree they have many disadvantages- like being too tall compared to other bd:s -also they are very fragile- my first two ones from old ep2 RGS were awfully light blue and their arms break down completely very soon : - my newer ones from bp:s are better - makes me think that those old ep2 sbd:s were made out of worse plastic... Leia's office was only good idea in tantive4 - it was not very good set- once agin because the low count of minifigs- battle of Endor was strange set because it has the great minifig-count- why new ships cannot have as many guys as old ISD- i never get one but that set was excellent- Venator was nothing compared to it- palpy and two senate guys (clones are worthless in such a big set- and there were only 2- 2 clones????????? why so small army there) perhaps i said that earlier but Venator is clearly very poor set and my most hated ever - it has incredible price but not much interesting stuff- senate guys are cool and cw-palpy with death star plans and saber were nice extras but one more rare fig would have been needed- Admiral Yularen/ Luminara Unduli that would have saved the set- or then army of clones (at least 5 of those guys- one gunner and 4 normal ones or officer clones) but no- big fail from lego- new Turbo tank seems to be cheaper even though it have more figs- and almost as many parts- strange...

    well yellow is strange choice but wheels are just bit too simple- they are more accurate now than the old spacey wheels- however it's hard to say which ones are better- Secura is nice and Bane too but is that supposd to be Bly they use the same old commander and put the visor like it shouldn't be that's so fake! - it is not like the Bly's binoculars it is the same old visor but not in place- and only two clones- they should have made ARF trooper instead of all 3 jedi- Ahsoka and Anakin both ? not a good decision however the parts used for the tank look so delicious- they would be excellent addition to my collection and Bane, Aayla (her Lekku look wonderful here ) also i don't have CW Anakin yet- he is ugly as h*ll but he has nice torso and hair- At -Rt don't have toes -but anyway it is better than the old one. Wampa cave is so disappointement that i am not gonna buy it- i have the old (almost identical) snowspeeder and hoth bp is much cheaper way to get those figs (ok lukes head is not there but who cares i like older flesh-Luke better)- and skeleton is that bad one (why not the old good one used in POP-theme? ) only reason to have that set would be wampa- but it don't look much- chicken leg is strange addition it's not fun, not accurate , not useful, not rare why wampa needed grip for chicken leg????? don't get it- symmetrical hands would have saved it but no- left one is two times longer (or so it looks). Now we need rancor- i hope it don't have same hands and chicken leg too Oh my gosh i couldn't disagree more- CTT is most Star wars like thing ever after R2-D2, Darth Vader or lightsaber (and someone having a bad feeling about something ) also why would someone want wampa's cave because of snowspeeder- don't get it- but if you want well that's ok. but i'm happy with my 2004 snowspeeder... new one has some new decals but i cannot see other improvements....

    Castle Sets 2010

    Don't like them too much... well i dunno nothing makes me want them - that is actually good since i can buy POP and SW instead- no castle this year- actually fine with me they aren't bad -but colorscheme is kinda....- i dunno- i liked more of fantasy subtheme- however there seems to be wizard still and lil' dragon- maybe i buy that little wizard set.... or perhaps not -who needs green wizard? not me

    cockpit looks better with prints- but it is still huge and flat- well new Grievous is probably quite big In this pic it looks dark tan yes- but anyway trandoshan is good fig- Tan or green both will do Slave one is a good set -and about the turbo tank: Aayla should have had blue hands at least she has awesome lekku- i definitely want that tank set it has Bane too- awesome addition- and i don't have any proper wheels for ctt- so that set is just for me only prize is bad

    LEGO Star Wars 2010 Pictures and Rumors

    And Aayla has a blaster- LOL seems that the one who made the sets know absolutely nothing of Star Wars- Nahdarr Vebb is in surgery with a droid that has legs reversed

    Cockpit is horrible but i'm getting that set for minifigs...
  19. Swash Buckler

    LEGO Star Wars 2010 Pictures and Rumors

    I agree Wampa could have been so much better - smaller arms and taller legs- that's it would have saved the fig- left hand is good but right is horrifying but i'm quite happy- since now there is no reason to buy that set- i can get luke's hat and zev from bp. Now i'm waiting for a rancor- it is much more useful than wampa That is a very odd combination indeed however it looks very good combination- a set with so many droids and ultimately sweet Barriss cannot be bad....

    MOC: Driving the cattle past the old shop

    Excellent job- good cactus and that house is well designed -but that Vulture must be the best part- so innovative!

    Taun taun was great- but Wampa don't look good-that's my opinion at least
  22. Swash Buckler

    LEGO Star Wars 2010 Pictures and Rumors

    Aayla is just great - Bane is good but he looks too kind in this pic- maybe he have 2-sided head -since that gearthingy in his head probably hides the other face- however i like the fact he has a new hat and standard head with molded breathingmaskthing- at least it looks like that- if so that is much better than the Thi-shen was But Wampa is not very good- well there were only reason to buy that set- now i am not going to do get it- i will buy Ctt and Grievous fighter instead...

    LEGO Star Wars 2010 Pictures and Rumors

    So Bane's speeder is gonna be exclusive/limited that's shame- anyway i want Ctt and it has Bane in it...

    Extra Minifigures

    LOl -you were lucky if that was an extra- no never happened - but would be a nice surprise- if i just would buy one Battlepack with extra Ackbar i would be be happy- let me guess you already have army of those Ahsokas Perhaps the reason is simply that Ahsoka is always in wrong place at the wrong time
