What am I doing wrong? There's not sound at all, no matter what number I type.

That's mainly because the tractor is the main model in Europe, so they wanted both to look good, I assume. LEGO have decided, for whatever reason, that the dune buggy would sell better in the US.

Why should it be

Someone on Rebelscum bought it, and here's some box pics: And it's only

How much was it?

Well I think the tractor is a lot better than the buggy, so I'm happy ;-)

The fire truck has been seen a few times before. The 4x4 vehicle is being released in the US, whereas a tractor will be released in Europe with the same set number. The two vehicles seem to use very similar pieces. Here's a link to pics of the tractor: http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000...9671876-5211755

I doubt we'll be getting a new Jabba's Palace, especially since we've just got the Sailbarge. Also I don't think we'll be getting a Death Star playset, since the new ISD is effectively a DS playset inside an ISD.

But, like I said above, imagine if they released one big set containing: * Probe Destruction: Chewie, Han + Probe Droid * Unfreezing Luke: Luke in water tank + medical droid * tau taun patrol: need I say more ?? * Wampa cave: cave, Luke & Wampa creature * Defense of Echo Base: rebels, snowies, Gun Turret and tranches !! Then we'd have to pay

I reckon that if LEGO release anything Hoth related they'll chuck it all into one big set. That means we have to spend lots of money if we want a Wampa, Taun Taun, Echo Base, etc . . .

My predictions are: - New Y-wing - New AT-ST - Perhaps new Hoth sets if the AT-ST is Endor based - Imperial Landing Craft

Looking on Brickset, only counting System sets released at retail, we've had: ANH - 7 ESB - 9 ROTJ - 17 So we're a bit overdue on ANH and ESB sets :-P

My shelves weren't deep enough, so I did this: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1788240 I'm not sure if you will be able to do this with your shelves though.

This definitely seems to confirm it. It specifically mentions that the sets will come out on the same day as LSWII (September 12th), ruling out the possibility of it meaning anything else.

Here's pics of a version someone has made of the R2-D2 , since apparently the model has been around since about 1999. It's almost identical to the one on SW.com: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=152824 I think it looks awesome, and I'd actually quite like LEGO to release this.

That seems like a bit of an overeaction, doesn't it? After all, you were the first person to even consider leaking the pics out ("I might be a bit mischeivious").

Actually it'll be

Hopefully it will. If they know that most people only voted for their choice because they thought it was better than the others, and didn't actually want it, you'd think they would scrap the idea. But also, if they were going to ask about sets that featured in the last poll (FX-6, Vulture Droid and R2-D2), why didn't they ask about the Speeder Bike? (which also featured in the last poll). Here's a pics of one from the 1999 LEGO Magazine: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=287359 That would have definitely won, IMO.

Yeah, three of them were in the last poll on FBTB (the one where the B-wing and the Ep.III JSF won), and they came in the bottom three positions if I remember correctly. So why are they pushing them out again?

I wonder why it is that these sets are so bad compared to the usual SW sets (except for the FX-6, but who wants that as a UCS set?). I suggest we inform Steve that the majority of LEGO fans don't want ANY of these, and although one will win, fans are just picking the best out of the worst.

All the parts are glued together. Apparently you can remove them if you try hard enough though, although I would be worried about breaking it.

Sadly Killer Croc had run out of money to make his new costume, so he got some of hs friends to cut some corners . . .

Killer Croc: For the last time - I'm NOT Anakin!

No :-D I'm suprised I didn't spot that though!
