Artanis I

Haha yep, how predictable... I don't mind not having a choice, but since it's there why not take advantage of the option? Good, I like it that way... maybe it was a different case temporarily during the board upgrade or something. I just seem to remember at one point them all being the same while I was trying to set preferences. (Or I could just be completely MAD MAD MAD!)Um, curiously I'm seeing the winter skin again. Also curious to see an armed Darth Santa on a tauntaun. Hinckley, I think it needs a red nose.

Yeah, I was wondering what everyone was on about, I still had the Halloween banner (and there was no option to change yesterday). I checked out the Winter Legs today and it looks cool (no pun intended, whoops!) but we're heading into summer so it's weird for me & I've changed it. Question: what setting do I use for the main banner to be "whatever the latest one is" and all the sub forums to be the unique skin for that sub forum?

Number of minifigs & horses?

The dark green "baby Norbert" part is used in the tower as gargoyles, but the one from the wizard set I could never work out how that fit the theme if it was a live animal. Never thought of it as a paperweight - you may be right. It is possible however for those NinjaGo dragon pieces to also be used as part of a large battering ram, a la Grond.

Sorry to disappoint - Launceston. Only a couple of Power Miners sets there though, mostly Hero Factory. I only recently discovered this clearance shelf a fair way from the Lego, near the (Kmart quality) skateboard etc stuff. :O oh my... haha yeah more info please!

Thanks for reminding me... I was counting mine the other day. I'm up to 9 now. (new castle advent calendar, drawbridge defence, skeleton tower, collectible minifigs, king leo's castle). It would be good if we could get the original post updated with all the pics! hint hint

Keep forgetting to mention, have noticed KMart have marked lots of Hero Factory, Power Miners & Ben 10 sets (the Bionicle looking ones) clearance @ half price.

She does look good... don't get too excited though, she's too young for you! You're starting to sound like the opposite of an antisoka: a supersoka! (anyone remember those things? Super Soaker 50 was the bomb, haha)

I did see that actually, but I did not see Eurobricks nor any other Lego related site and thus was disappointed. It's near Buzzword Bay if anyone's looking for it.

Nope, they're aliens.This looks really good... the rusted out slum shacks, the rubbish everywhere, the "prawns" (very difficult to represent in Lego), the camera view... Well done!

Serious? Same story with me. Palm my face, please!

What Palpatine should've done, was toy with them for a while then say "Oh there's something I ought to tell you: I'm not left-handed either" and THEN he can whoop them quickly.

Doesn't necessarily mean there's a future that hasn't been told. Just whatever was before her appearances in the cartoon or episode 1?

That scene seems so rushed, like they did it all in one first take. The swordplay acting is crap. Palpatine (when you can see his face) fights like a sissy but somehow quickly kills 3 awesome jedi masters who have rubbish defence - and they've just been fighting in a war for 3 years so they can't possibly be out of practice. After watching the animated stuff it really is hard to watch and believe this part. Such a shame, as there are heaps of good sword-fighting scenes in the movie. Mace v Palpy was good, but the 4 on 1 part was absolute bulsht.

Yeah that clone needs a haircut rather promptly! And what is Yoda there for? Nail extensions? Great scene!

Yes, Yoda then Mace Windu would be "the best" so to speak, my favourite is definitely Obi Wan but apparently he's not allowed so my next favourite... is........... ummmm... uh... um........... Yoda? I do really like Plo Koon, Kit Fisto & Luminara Unduli.

Add me to that club Considering that most of the the posts prior to the (2 year) bump said taun-taun (which we now have) they are irrelevant to any discussion from here on, therefore we essentially have a new thread added on to the end of an old one... (which is worse, yet another "what do you want/prefer" question topic (that has been asked before) or BUMP?) It seems the favourite is rancor (very unlikely due to scale) so maybe it should be the next UCS? (Is it even possible to build...)

So much detail for such a mini scaled moc! The landscaping is fantastic too. Dang Romans, burning down temples again...

Nice work - but I'm finding it difficult to look at the creature without thinking "I'm Old Gregg" (The Mighty Boosh)

They look pretty good, the 3d perspective looks cooler than the 2d perspective did before. But I do prefer the round plates, I thought they looked excellent nicely rendered, especially with the stacking and the opaque/trans variation. Bring 'em back sometime!

Ravage, Rumble: eject and transform! Excellent depiction of the coolest G1 character.

Yes.Ahsoka's far more mature than Anakin (dictionary definition for "whiny bitch") was as a padawan, and is getting better. She's less rebellious, less impertinent, less hotheaded... and it's only been a short time. Anakin was already padawan for 10 years before we even saw his terrible display of immaturity in episode 2.

There are some awesome looking space/underwater prototypes that never made it (and some that were adapted), some parts that were never released in that colour (trans-red & black dome, blue monorail, purple castle wall, trans-orange jetpack), many parts that I've never seen... we can only dream. It's a bit disappointing to see how dumbed-down some of the 2009 SP3 sets ended up. The Max Security Transport should've kept those killer wheels!

Haha nice one!

I fully agree with you there, and let's just hope that whoever wrote that description doesn't know what they're talking about! I do like the look of the costume though!
