Artanis I

Incorrect so far... The title song has been in my head for a few weeks

Here's a fun one:

I am waiting for them to hit this thread.

It's one of the exclusives, so it won't be in a catalogue. It will appear mid-year-ish at either Target, Kmart or wherever the third place usually is.

The good thing about the flick-fire missiles was that I never shot myself in the eye with those. Seems like every time I put a set together I get a spring-loaded missile in the eye. And unlike the inference from the little picture in the booklet, it doesn't make crude oil come out of your other eye.

Yesterday there was a spam with LOTS of links in the member title thread, right after all the posts about "where did my spam poet title go?" Who do we blame for that, eh?

"anthology trilogy" - is that like calling a milestone event "anniversary centenary"?

Thought I'd share this photo from Just2good of Ezra, for any other SW fans that didn't see it. He's updated by using the new Aladdin CMF: Compare with the original:

But when a storm trooper who worked in sanitation knows that those red comets were actually republic planets being destroyed by a big laser planet, and detailed inside info on how to sabotage the base the "need to know" theory loses a bit of weight

Correct, your turn! And everyone else needs to watch it. Except in Europe (actually, everywhere that does recognise its existence) it's called a "metre", so they'd be thinking of a parking meter, volt meter or something anyway

This isn't science-fiction/fantasy

Nup Close, try again

I thought we'd been told that there isn't an AT-AT set.

I wondered if he might want to do that, it would surely fix any problems caused by being flush against the track. "Mind the gap" and all that

Hard to disagree - and not the last film where he robs a bank without everyone getting away!

Try your hands at this, everyone:

Actually I hadn't properly considered the angle of the coupling, so once the coupling pivot point is on the straight then the train should be sitting straight. So that's 3 or 4 1/4 length straights, depending on your train. The speed these things tend to fly along at (with a decent battery), if you have a wall on only one side then the train might bump off if it hits. If you have both sides with walls you would likely get stuck. Be aware that the walls will trigger the motor switch. If the platform has a hard edge right up against the track then the train will likely hit the platform corner on approach and derail, as it does wobble a little bit. But if it eased onto the edge I imagine it would be happy. Someone else may be able to test it to be sure, I have mine packed away for now and nowhere to put it otherwise.

Masters of the Universe - and that is a tiny pic.

It depends on the length (and width) of the train (see below). How much overhang is there? If you are only using that red train not much. I think it's 50 studs in length (including 1 overhang each end) with no side overhang. If you are using the space trains or a custom build then it's a different answer. If you take a look at the base, you can see that the bogey stays completely over the track, and the train pivots over that. The train is never really completely & exclusively over the track until the bogey & middle section are both on the straight. 1/4 length straights are 8 studs long (full length straights being 32), most trains are @ 6 or 7 of those, at roughly 50-60 studs for the entire train. So you are looking at around 30-35 studs from the front of the train to the other end of the middle section. 4 or 5 1/4 length straights. Does that answer your question / make sense?

Great discussion about the Rebels TV show going on... Finally got around to watching the 1st series BDs, and (surprise, surprise) every Lego set released so far from the TV show was featured in the first 4 episodes. It's The Clone Wars all over again, what's the bet that most of the cool stuff (and important characters) that ever appears from this point on is never made into a set.

I've seen this, but is it Hot Shots or the sequel? It's surely not Spy Hard
