    LEGO Star Wars 2010 Pictures and Rumors

    I have but Grievous looked so blurry that i am waiting till he is mold- i want him anyway i don't have the old one -that was bad anyway- new one looks interesting but hard to say- great that they did Vebb for that set- meaning cheaper and easier Mon calamari head

    Some lego SW disappointments...

    I don't like printed legs much- hard to use for many characters- actually they don't even look any better to my eye Well don't bother me since i am not only a collector or anymore a playing kid- im Star Wars fan and moccer- so i of course take sets apart and build better model out of the set's parts- simple way to correct problems- however i am not skillful enough to correct probs in minifigs- i agree with that visor thing- stupid and lazy from TLC ( The Lego company!) to produce Zev Senesca / clone heads- why they even named the Character to be Zev- instead of simply being a rebel pilot- or are they saying that Zev is Jango's clone too ?!?!?!? And my biggest disappointment was lack of Padmé once again- they will end the whole SW theme -rather than making minifig of her- strange conspiracy that is!!

    REVIEW: 8087 TIE Defender

    Nice but nothing very special set And why they do not use that sandblue it is best color for Tiecrafts i think

    Republic Gunship Nose Art

    Well thanks but did you have any advice how to get free Photoshop then -it costs very much as a full version and trial is ended long time ago- i don't want to reboot my computer completely -but it is the only way i could use the month trial again- i have used that in the school so i would definitely like to have it - i could use it very well i think- of course i should buy it -but i doubt that there is well... errm... almost completely legal way to use it for free with some limitations Oh yes here is the pic from my gunship I'm sorry that i didn't have any big enough non-transparent sticker sheet then so i had to print it for transparent one (Big mistake i haven't get any more of that rare sheet from shops ever since) still it looks cool for me but i have to buy and use different non-transparent sheets for these- another problem are the old stickers i do not have the new cw-gunship but only old ep2 one it is not as good for stickers as the new one- this one is customized though... your pic was cool but it don't look much as transparent- i removed it to check out the old stickers beneath it- they were ok- but they are already badly faded so i have to print them again i think that is why printed pieces are good but on the other hand they cannot be usedfor anythng- stickers can be removed and then printed again

    Pirate Advent Calendar SPOILER FREE Discussion

    Well cup is not anachronistic at all- it is just colored strangely- it is like old pints no problems there- dynamite in the pirate set (soldiers fort- is terrible anachronism to me it is clear 19th century invention by Alfred Nobel nothing to do with pirates ) Also strangely enough -yellow banana is actually slight anachronism -naturally they were green until they for some reason became to turn yellow in the Caribbean but that happened in the 19th century too- if my info is right Also the so-called "Indy map" shows just a blue line that can be both river and shore so actually it suits for pirates sets as well- many 17th, 18th century maps didn't have whole ocean colored with blue either so no problems either with that- probs solved Yeah i wondered that too- i was expecting the sawfish to be with mermaid -but no table and rat? Also it is dumb that plastic inside the calendar is transparent- you can peek the future surprises- not good for kids who spoil their own fun when being too curious Kids can be with not opening the surprise too early but not without taking a little peek- i -of course- as more mature person do not do such a childish things Yeah its nice but actually it looks better if both of the 1x1 round pieces are in the front of the the one 1x1 (with a hole)- it is too little to be a mortar but it looks like a swiwelgun a bit

    LEGO Star Wars 2010 Pictures and Rumors

    i find it's really dumb that Ahsoka and Anakin are both in the CTT - i have Ahsoka from her fighter (that actually was pretty cool set) and most do have Anakin from his fighter- so there should have been more clones (arf-troopers?Rex?Cody?) instead Wheels look great to me - they are the hardest part to customize- so that set could save my Christmas 2010 I do have two old classic boba's and possibly Bossk will appear in another set since he will appear soon in the Clone Wars too (btw isn't 2011 still sw-legoyear- or do this is the last one!? ) and i must say that old classic (yet 2-d) carbonite solo looks way better than the new one even if new one is molded- still i may buy that set since i probably cannot get the imperial flagship only 2010 non-star wars set that would be awesome those brown slope pieces will be nice custom shiphull for piratemocs as well- but i have no need for Wampa attack it haves only wampa that i cannot customize (lukes costume is actually from new bp and i do have parts for good custom snowspeeder- i have lots of boneparts as well ) It is so good that New Grievous set have an calamari head as well- i was so depressed when i didn't have possibility (or money) to get the Ackbar's Home One set this year.
  7. Nice one looks better than i first thought- i like that there is so many of those seagrassparts i don't have any- although i will probably buy only a little one with same grass and blue mantaguy and trident i am surprised if that is rubbery it actually don't suit very well for that part That squidguy lookscool- although he is much like Cthuthu it makes me think that they are actually just planning Davy Jones for possible potc theme- he would look cool as Dark tan rubbery molded head and new tricorne mold that can be removed Not everyone in classic pirates would like to see potc theme but i definitely want- all those great monsters and nice new pieces would definitely be more cooler than recycling same piratepieces over and over again anyway nice review good set- that golden gate makes me think that someone definitely could build classic view of Heaven's gates with Saint Peter- not pearly gates but golden ones would look great symbolism as well - although i personally see that buiding religious mocs is a little bit questionable

    WOW Nahdar will have a calamari head oh i's so want that one and Grievous finally And Emperor- so want that too and Turbo tank for christmas BANE Yippee-- now just one question for TLC Where is new Padmé?????
  9. I am having Endor battle for christmas- i ordered it and checked that all parts were in and then let it wait for holidays - imagine if something -like this unfortunate case here- would happen for a christmas present- when it is finally opened you find out that the figs are gone terrible surprise for him/her who have been waiting it for weeks

    I really think it is going out in May/August they have made tauntaun and now more accurate hat for Luke- so actually only reason to buy it -would be Wampa- so it will be quite expensive but pretty useless set I really want the new Grievous and if Palpatine's shuttle will be Theta model from ROTS (like surprisisngly many of new sets) It would be great if there would be Emperor, 2 Coruscant clones, pilot clone, 2 red guards and more accurate burned Vader than the one in the transformation set- then stretcher for Vader- some nice wing action and as extras saber and death star plans for Emperor -like in the Venator- would be cool

    Non-Pirate Mini-Figures Useful for Pirate MOCing?

    I use some old Harry Potter Torsos like the one with red shirt and open gray coat (Harry from Prisoner of Azkaban) It looks good and has no anachronistic stuff in it- also the Peter Pettigrew's torso is ok for merchant- then Indiana Jones stuff like Short Round's coat seems to be quite useful- as well as already mentioned Orient expedition and Han Solo's simple vests and shirt- new Indiana Jones Venice chase had fezis- good for eastern pirates and Chaucilla Cemetary have indians with pretty useful torsos as well- some of those of course do have some fleshy skin

    Recycling

    Yeah- so do i- when i was a kid i thought that they actually are supposed to be nuggets Idea is good but i usually invent some ways to use them as well in my mocs Also i think TLC uses too much plastic for the bags - there is unnecessarily many of them usually howewer fewer bags would mean larger so pronbably there is not so eco-friendly- but would be easier for us builders- every new set means lots of plasticwrap

    REVIEW: 8083 Rebel Trooper Battle Pack

    By the way- when those "Macaroni-pieces" get that new design (not seen in here as well as in another review) that better well ...suspension with studs if you get my meaning- i had only the old ones that are like "empty" underneath...

    Republic Gunship Nose Art

    This is some that i made with a paint -i post them here since i'm not sure should i do own topic for these- but these are inspired by Rayman's- so here you go: This is NOT Ahsoka just a legoized Togruta pin-up and my first gunship-decal so sorry she looks bit... disformed and well this one needs lots of work still : She is poorly done out of legoleia pic with paint - i may do better version of this "Queen Amidala's Revenge"...

    REVIEW: 8083 Rebel Trooper Battle Pack

    Good review good set- i also agreed that this is above average- but not so good that it could have been- hats sit too high and icecutter could have been better but that one is still one of the best vehicles in bp:s ever appeared- but of course flickfires - anyway i think that "red mark" is just supposed to be wrinkle in chin because of serious impression- good face btw- not too classic smiley guy

    LEGO Star Wars 2010 Pictures and Rumors

    This topic is so massive now that it would be better to start another one- but staying in topic -i don't really like the Freecospeeder -boring set with 2 not very useful figs - no cold assault troops- no droids, no normal talz without headgear, no pantorans and no Obi-Wan (His suit would be needed more- Han in echo base has similar coast as Anakin- except the jedisymbol of course) Well at least i don't have to had that so i can buy more bp:s instead and i'm looking forward to Grievous' fighter and Palpatine's shuttle
  19. Oh that's terrible! -but not so terrible for you- Second one! i cannot get that set from anywhere here so be thankful you have one of them already i wouldn't have money for that anyway.

    LEGO Star Wars 2010 Pictures and Rumors

    Yes that is right- best Wedge will be that soldier head from indy-sets (same one as the imperial officer in new bp ) And without helmet he could have Mutt's hair- that is my custom Wedge since i got Mutt Williams now- still they should have done new head for imperial officer- that one is neutral but i would like to see older man like Tarkin or Veers- with evil-looking smile in his face at least they should do Donovan for Indy with head that look like Julian Glover would do for Veers with that new body:laugh: Yeah I saw the trailer- but i strongly disagree - i loved the ending of the Force Unleashed - absolutely epic- unfortunately i see that sequel would only ruin the story - but if it is a good game that don't matter much (perhaps little more diversity for Game play- vehicles, fighters?- possibility to use blasters and rockets as well as saber and force like in the Jedi Outcast/Academy) Unfortunately there probably will not be much changes- just more Starkillering- now in more jedi way though- but new bosses new planets and more of that awesome fun- and She is "Maris Brood"- don't matter to me but it is how her name is spelled -we had a tiny argument about spelling here some time ago Well this has become massive

    Review: 7594 Woody's Round Up

    That is a great review and awesome set- although i would do nothing with a toystory minifigs... still all those wonderful parts- excellent.
