  1. While this is currently the only set with Mace Windu, which makes it almost a must-have, the overall design of the ship and lack of other minifigs is a real let down.

    Port Defiance

    Wow. That is amazing. I am really impressed with the amount of detail and the sheer size of this thing.

    The Sarah Connor Chronicles Movie

    This is both good and bad news. It is good news because the show was actually decent at times and if they can just clean it up and tie it into the movies, it would be decent all the time. It is bad because the originally said that they were going to tie TSCC into Terminator Salvation, which didn't happen. The TV show didn't really connect with the movies and created a whole other timeline. If the DVD movie is decent and ties in with T5, I will be happy to see the show re imagined and put back on the air.

    Lego rock band...sets?

    I don't think there is a market for Lego Rock Band sets. There wouldn't be a lot of variety. A few stages, a couple bands, maybe a tour bus. Not enough there to make a theme out of.

    [Review] 8038 - The Battle of Endor

    I just got this set yesterday and am through building everything but the bunker itself. A couple things I have noticed. 1. My Navy Trooper does not have the extra circle on his belt. 2. The little handlebar in the AT-ST that figures can hold makes it impossible for them to be straight coming out of the hatch. There is no way to stand them up like on the box. 3. The Telescope pieces that act as blasters on the front of the AT-ST are a poor design flaw. The hole in the telescope is not quiet the right size for peg, so there is not a hard connection and it can fall off. Other than that, the set is great.

    Endor Rebel Helmets

    Luckily, this problem did not occur with my set. The helmets are fine and are staying down perfectly.

    [MOC] AT-RT

    That is a great rendition of the AT-RT. While the Lego version was about as good as you could expect, your MOC is really amazing. The amount of detail is great, and I especially love the feet.

    What was the last movie you watched?

    I just finished rereading all of the Harry Potter books so I decided to go back and watch all the movies. I also just watched Clash of the Titans for a school project.

    Will the Fantasy Theme Survive?

    Actually, I was thinking the Skellies. While their horses and sets are cool, the minifigs themselves are pretty lame.

    Will the Fantasy Theme Survive?

    I think that unless they expand into another faction as many other people have said, it is doomed to fail. People get bored with the same factions and same sets. While three out of four of the factions are cool (can you guess which one is not ), I want more variety.

    LEGO Star Wars 2009 Sets and Rumours

    All in all that is a pretty lame list. The only reason I can think that another ARC Fighter and Droid Tri-Fighter would be released is that they would be Clone Wars style. The BP's would of course be great, but I was really hoping for some Endor BP's. Maybe when the 30th Anniversary of ROTJ comes around...

    command & conquer:Tiberian Sun lego sets?

    This is a MOC done by somebody. It is not a real set, and does not belong in the Licensed forum. It belongs in the Sci-Fi forum. You can't believe every picture you see on Brickshelf that looks like a set.

    LEGO Star Wars 2009 Sets and Rumours

    No offense, but all of that is most likely junk. Wishful thinking on somebody's part. Some squiggly lines on the box doesn't mean anything. And we have not heard any rumors about 2010 sets. There is no way this person would have any idea.

    Endor Rebel Helmets

    I just ordered this set and really hope that this isn't a recurring problem. However, I have read other reviews that have pointed out this same problem. If you aren't against glueing your figures, I would suggest glueing the helmet to the head.

    Diorama: The last of the CIS.

    No offense, but those pictures are horrendous. I have not idea what the MOC is or what is going on within it. Please take a larger selection of better pictures, post some on the site, and post the rest on Brickshelf or Flickr.

    Midi Minifig Tie Fighter Idea

    That would be a great idea. I would suggest looking at the large, minifigure sized Tie-Fighters as well as the Mini Fighter to get ideas on how to maintain detail but keep it small.

    [Review] 7676 Republic Attack Gunship

    This was a great improvement on the previous Republic Gunship. This one has a lot more detail and a lot more playability. My only complaint is the figures compared to the price. For $120 i would expect at least 2 more figures. I know that at the time it included all new figures, but for the price it is lacking.

    WWII Vignette: Under the bridge

    All three of your Vignette's are very nice. However, instead of posting three different topics with one each, it would be easy to post one topic with all three. Just an idea for later reference.

    Star Wars Battlefront Elite Squadron

    I think they were referring to the fact that nobody will buy the game, and that is how they will lose money. I have the original Battlefront game, and while it was fun for a little while, the lack of a real plot made it pretty boring. I have not played an BF games after that one, so I can't comment on how the rest of the series has turned out.
  20. A couple of things. First, this is the wrong forum for information on the TV series. It should go in the Culture and Multimedia forum. Second, there is already a topic on the 2nd Season, and it includes plenty of trailers and videos. I know you are new, but please look around a little bit before you post.

    Aliens Vs Predator

    This game looks pretty good. While both the Alien and Predator movies were great by themselves, the crossovers were terrible. Simply a money-making scheme. This game however looks great. I love how you take on the role of the Marines and have to fight off both. The only thing I am worried about is the difficulty of the game. In the movies, both the Aliens and Predators are extremely hard to kill. I hope the game doesn't reflect this completely, otherwise it will be impossible.

    Indiana Jones 5

    While he isn't too old for more dramatic movies, I agree that he is too old for a movie like Indiana Jones. He just looked out of place in the last one. If they continue the series, I will see the movie. I just hope they don't go for the 50's/60's cheesy Sci-Fi approach that they took on the last one. They did just fine with the more religious and historical themes with the first three. I don't know why they switched.

    Brickmaster Magazine

    If you are simply looking for the magazine, I would try hitting up some people on Eurobricks who in the US. They might be willing to save them over a fews months and then mail them to you. I personally don't get it, but it might work. Good luck.

    LEGO Star Wars 2009 Sets and Rumours

    That really is a great site. It's nice that Lego has finally taken some initiative and done what fan-sites have been doing for a long time. Can't wait until they get everything up.

    [MOC] Mustafar duel

    Great job with this little diorama. I really love the droids. Only a couple of suggestions. First, I would try adding a bit of black to the lava to make it a bit more realistic. Second, if you have a ROTS Obi-Wan, I would us that.
