    Watchmen.

    I just rented this movie, and I have to say that I liked it. It wasn't nearly as visually "strange" as 300, which was good. And while the story was pretty confusing at some parts, I don't really feel like I needed to have read the comics. The acting was decent, the characters interesting, and the story original. It was a fresh take on a superhero movie. It was a little gory at some parts. The part in the prison where they cut the guys arms off! A little too much blood.

    BrickMaster Castle Product Review

    You might want to spice your review up a bit. Add a few more pictures, including some of the alternate models. Have a separate picture of the minifigs and accessories. Another great things is when people grade the set in different categories, such as price, playability, and the build. Try looking at a few other reviews to see how other people do them. Yours is not a bad start, but it could definitely be improved upon.

    [Review] 8036 Separatist's Shuttle

    I voted outstanding for the simple reason that for $30 you get 2 unique, never-before-seen figures. This is pretty uncommon these days. And usually if they are new, it is just a new Clone or Jedi.

    Future Star Wars Sets

    I would like to see a bigger variety of Jedi, both named and unnamed ones. As many people have said, I would love to see a Geonosis Arena. Also, I would like to see a type of "special series" where they only do sets from the second half of the Clone Wars during Episode III. Not animated, but just the regular style. It would be nice to have Phase II clones again, and this time with more unit (the color of the clones compared to where they are) variety and accuracy. This would naturally allow for commanders and more Jedi.

    LEGO Star Wars sets

    Of course they are. Look at things like the old X-Wing, A-Wing, and B-Wing. All three of those have been remade, and all of the remakes were vastly superior in size, detail, accuracy, and figures included. While the prices have jumped, that is due to simply inflation and the change in production costs. Sets today are a lot more accurate and have way cooler playing feature. And now that a few people have voiced their opinion, it is probably time to close this thread.

    Star Wars TFU Ultimate Sith Edition

    If only the Wii didn't suck and had downloadable content. Of course, TFU pretty much sucked for the Wii (due to poor graphics from the Wii). Still, it would be nice to have some DLC to continue playing. You are right that it would be cool if a sequel followed what might have happened if Vader was killed and Starkiller took his place. Maybe this new DLC is a hint that they are working on something like this.

    LEGO Star Wars 2009 Sets and Rumours

    I am sure you can open them somehow.

    Chrome Darth Vader

    While this is an en genius, if not time consuming, way to find one, it is highly inefficient. This guy only had to go through a few BP's. Chances are you would have to go through a lot more sets, including some larger ones, just to find one. Plus, what guarantee is there that they are all the exact same weight, especially the bigger sets? While this is a nifty and funny way to do it, Ebay is a lot better.

    Journey to the West minifigs

    A couple things. While the pig is very good, it is also kind of creepy . Also, why does the last guy have a girls name?

    [MOC] AT-HS

    This is a pretty nifty design. The only thing I will say is that the feet are not very proportional compared to the rest of the body.

    Will the Fantasy Theme Survive?

    I see that many of you have said that yes, Castle will survive. I think it is obvious that in a few years, a new Castle theme will emerge. However, this is simply referring the the current fantasy theme.

    Bring Back Lego Spiderman

    No. Considering they skipped over Spider-Man 3, the chances are pretty much none. And I know you are new, but please search for a similar topic before you post.

    Can Indy and Prince of Persia coexist?

    While Space and Star Wars do both exist in space, they aren't very similar. If you compare figures and models, nothing looks alike. Now, compare what we have seen of POP and parts of Indiana Jones. While the rest of you are most likely right, and these new pieces will add to Indiana Jones, I think there is a chance that POP will take over.
  15. Exactly. This book has so many details that are essential to the story. While I can think of a few things that can be cut, the book has way too much that has to be included. Plus, they have to do the final battle justice. However, I also believe they want to milk the cow for all it's worth.
  16. Sorry, but we have known about this for a while over in the Star Wars Forum.

    What do you think of this year's Comic Con set's?

    Comic-Con isn't a big thing for Lego. You have to remember that it is mainly a Film and Toy thing. Sure, they are using it to promote their new Disney lines. But, it isn't a big thing for them. I like the Tantive IV, and the exclusive mini-scenes with the three figures are kind of cool. More for display than anything. The mini's are disappointing, but they always have been.

    Can Indy and Prince of Persia coexist?

    I think that with POP coming up, Indy will die out. Indiana Jones is a dying franchise when it comes to serious marketability, while POP is an up and coming franchise with a ton of possibilities. Plus, when have you seen Lego have two themes that are so similar in many aspects? Spider-Man died before Batman came along. Johnny Thunder before Indiana Jones.

    Double Printed heads!

    I like the double-sided heads, but only if the hair/helmet covers the other side. They are great for Dioramas though, and it was really smart on Legos part. It will be cool if Antilles is double-sided. Oh, and you spelled "covers" "voers". Might want to fix that.

    The Beatles:Rock Band

    I wish that this game was coming out for Guitar Hero instead of Rock Band. While Rock Band is a great game and and platform (especially with their track packs). Still, I really like Guitar Hero. The only thing is that a lot of Beatles songs aren't really rock, especially the early stuff. A lot of the chords and notes are the same.
  21. I am think that the fact that they are coming out with a Lego HP game could be a precursor for new sets. However, considering that the last two movies are coming out in 2010 and 2011 and that for the Half-Blood Prince no sets were released and only one for Order of the Phoenix probably means that there won't be any new sets.

    LEGO Star Wars 2009 Sets and Rumours

    It's interesting that, like the AT-OT and Dropship, the day it is officially announce the Tantive IV went up on S@H. Both of these sets went up prior to release (with a coming soon logo), while most sets go up on or after release.

    LEGO Star Wars 2009 Sets and Rumours

    Lego is releasing images of their new Prince of Persia and Toy Story minifigs today, as well as the exclusive. Tomorrow is when the rest of the conventions starts, including Hasbro and other toy companies.

    LEGO Star Wars 2009 Sets and Rumours

    You are have made your point many times. Unless you know for sure what is in the, you should just let other people speculate and guess without continually saying that you are definitely right and they are wrong. No one is saying that they are right, just that they hope they are. Bring it down a notch, would you?

    LEGO Star Wars 2009 Sets and Rumours

    That is a fair point. But last year, the sets included were minifig scaled sets. It would seem weird to have mini-sets and then just throw in a few figures. That's like going to a garage sale and buying a Lego set with a few Action Figures thrown in.
