    MOC: Limousine

    Very very nice! Much better than TLCs version, for design, colour, space. It is just great. Only one thing, sorry.. but I really hate those wheels. The plastic looks so cheap.. I have the same issue with the grey clone trooper gear or other parts. Perhaps it is just me, sorry. I have a hard time chosing some nice wheels for cars. 6015 is also not an option, I just cannot see it anymore for cars.
  2. Nice, Oky! I am looking forward to seeing them a lot!!
  3. I would like to get a new Safari set, it was really a lot of fun to play with this: It could include some of the new animals, like ostrich or camel. Would love it. A must is a nice landrower, but also a plane or a little scene or tree would be nice. 2nd, we need a new little civilian boat, like a sailing yacht or something. Perhaps as part of a small harbour. Anything that seems relaxing, civilian, holiday and summer - I am in.
  4. I meant more the new sets, especially the AT-AT I spoke of. Where does that number come from? Knowing KimTs sense of humour, is there a "1" missing at the piece count at a very certain place, KimT?
  5. Almost 40 pieces are already spend on the AT-AT's minifigs and their weapons. With less than 780 pieces on the actual model, that AT-AT is going to be really small!! Where do those piece count numbers come from?
  6. Must be something different. Cause here cockpit is closed and fin has the same position. I am afraid you have to switch the fin with that trans blue piece there.
  7. My ideas about the CTT so far: The model lacks a lot of things, like a good chassis or a nice interior. I think the steering mechanism (which seems to be a nice idea, like back in the days of Space Police 1) that is included forces the model to have such a "light" undercarriage, but imho it makes the model look a bit goofy, while it should look heavy, huge, dominant. The interior.. sigh.. I guess the number of SW models that don't have weird colours in the middle is something below 5. Also a detail issue. And once again too open. 10 pieces more in the cockpit could have helped already. Of course I could solve all these things on my own, but in the moment it keeps me from wanting this set. The only reason right now would be the girls (lovely) and the scout walker, and I stopped buying sets just for some MFs. In the end it is not satisfying to me.
  8. I just watched Episode 15 of season 2 and it was horrible. In the end I fast-forwarded cause I didn't want to waste any more minutes of my life on this. It is a miracle, how some episodes are really nice, but most are simply boring. The animated series "Clone Wars" was much better. More action, more entertaining. I also like the comics of the CW, but somehow the TV series is just not my cup of tea. Also the drawing, I dislike it. The characters have such strange and unsexy faces. They neither look nice, nor sweet nor nothing. In the comics faces look more nice. I am just happy that the lego figures look sweet (Windu, Ahsoka, Dooku are my favorites) and that comics and the old series delivers me some background so I can play these stories with Lego. I have no idea how someone can like episodes like No. 15. No idea.

  10. It wasn't realistic? But you want POTC? Wasn't it like.. totally unrealistic? Well, I have the 1989 collection and the 2009 one was inferior and too similiar, so no thoughts about it for me. But the Flagship is just amazing. I think it makes up for a short and mediocre theme. Like the MMV and goldmine made up for a not that good castle theme. Just my thoughts though.
  11. The stereo system was sold by Tokyo Hands. I am pretty sure about it. It is not an official product and doesn't say "Lego" anywhere. Just the ebay seller put it into his description.
  12. I found the CW magnets (old ones) to be in exceptional quality. Better than some of the packed minifigs. But anway. Are there any prices for Cad Banes Speeder yet? I am afraid TLC is once again heading for the 37 Euros (Swamp speeder) than 26 Euros (Landspeeder), regardless of the amount of pieces. But for a low price I would really consider this to spice up my MF collections.

    MOC: Yachts

    Amazing, stunning, sweet. I am a huge fan of the sailing yacht, I would love to have something like this in my harbour. Your technics are really nice but I would love to see some close ups or interior shots also. A yacht is one of the simple, nice and peaceful things that TLC never. They need more things like this, not only the obvious fire/police/rescue/construction things. It's time for some exclusive city sets, TLC! I like sand green here. Matches the white very good. Like it.
  14. Might be they stick to trans clear, who knows. Just wanted to say they stopped their trans brown, so it might be that they use the new trans-dark colour for the windshield on the Slave I. Trans clear just doesnt look good.
  15. I guess the Slave I's cockpit window will be in the new trans black colour. Our current trans black colour was called "trans brown" by TLC and will be discontinued this year. I guess the trans white crystal clear version on the toy fair version is still prelim and they are mixing their new dark trans colour still.
  16. Have we seen all the minifigs already? So far I'd say the new Hoth Trooper, but I might change my mind.
  17. 10 years I was waiting for a Bespin Han, finally...! I don't care if it comes with the AT-AT. They put the Faclon Escape scene in it as well, but without Leia. Whatever. I get my Han! Finally. (Ok, Leia would have been nice to get her with a new face but we will get her sooner or later. You hear, Leia? We get you!) New magnets? I do believe it, only TLC can put together such a strange combo of not-important minifigs. Here is hope for some OT magnets as well, we really need an upgrade. So many new figs in the last years, no new magnets!
  18. This mandolorian thing is really boring to me. CW is good at action, but boring with character developement and "stories". The perfect example is how much I liked the "Landing on Point Rain" (?) episodes, there were cool. Cool Gunship and Y-Wing action, liked that. Also, I find the whole thing about Boba-Fett-look-alikes really boring. It is so fanboyish and easy to be into Boba, GL knows and so he made Jango. Not enough, Jango was cloned into every trooper out there. Not enough, their helmets look like his. Not enough, we now have a whole army of Bobas?? This is just too lame and too unbelievable to me.
  19. The obvious racism in Lego toys made me become a different person during playing with it. Now, whenever I meet - green jelly aliens - SP Aliens - Trolls or - Underwater atlantian creatures in real life, I will get into my bricky vehicle and flick-fire the hell out of these guys!
  20. So they don't wait till Season 3 but make a game that consists the movie and the first 2 seasons, alright. Guess they will make another one after we got Season 3 and 4. Or something like this. My 2 cent: - Indiana Jones was fun but I prefer using lightsabers and blasters, it is just more fun. - Hope it can catch the comic-style of the series. - Will it follow the storyline of the series? (some episodes were so boring and useless. I switched them off cause wookieepedia told me there are no vehicles or ships in it..) - Let me fly a gunship and shoot things, and I'll be happy.
  21. Hi there, Blondie! I am sorry, but I opened a new topic with the idea to collect a lot (200, 500, 1000, ...?) of votes to get at least one final set. Cause the instruction and idea was hidden in the title and since it got eventually merged with this, it got a bit vague, the whole story. And since it got lost in the discussion thread, there is no chance to collect votes anymore. My idea was to send it to TLC at some point or let the moderators do it. (I have some connection with TLC, but I am sure they have better ones.) Sure, I don't believe it would work that well, they don't listen only to fans but first of all to their market analysts. Thats the reason for new pirates, the Cafe Corner and the Tauntaun, just to name a few. Sure I am not idealistic or stupid, but it is by far my favorite theme and I would have regretted it not to have tried it. Too bad the topic was merged after one day and the whole idea was useless. The set examples were just meant as to encourage people to vote. "You want this? Then give me your vote!" Kinda like this, you know? And I chosed one of each of the old movies, the one people mentioned the most, and didn't care about the Crystal Scull. Just cause people were not asking too much, no personal reason.. Hope it explains it a bit, cheeers! EDIT: spelling
  22. The title says it all. No new sets in 2010, probably discontinued. But if we get some 500+ votes and some attention, maybe they make an exclusive S&H set. The Himalaya bar? Lao Che's plane? or the tank? You would like to get that? Then please sign! (Please post your wishes for sets and rumours in the threads where they go and please refrain of telling me I am too optimistic or stupid.) Just sign if you like! 1st: Zzz
  23. So does the smallest set contain 3 figs and a horse or 4 figs? And will it have the muscle torso or the black one? I don't get it....
  24. Sure. It is the station that can change into a sub. Or a fold out shuttle sub, that can be changed to a station. However you like. ;)
  25. What keeps me from using EB more often and intense are immature posts and behaviour, and as far as my knowledge reached, it wasn't always and only teenagers acting in an arrogant or offensive way, but also respectable adult members with a high rank/ reputation. Second, I found it amusing that some themes attract or provoke more immature behaviour than others and I am already prepared to either deal with pages of nonsense posts and harsh attitudes or nice and mature statements depending on the forum I visit here. Third, I sometimes find the lack of creativity and playability occuring in posts of adult members very unsatisfying and dry, hence their focus on collecting, not playing. And all of this and much more leading to the conclusion, that certain attitudes and not younger members prevent this page from being most entertaining to me. Younger members even contribute, what I am not willing to miss in the future.
