Huh?... It's like saying that a 70 year old car MUST be damaged and rusty. What about well maintained and cared for car (or droid)? Shiny metal coating can be restored and damaged parts can be repaired. And to stay on topic: Anio's droid is simply beautiful!

Aaaaand 10188 is back in stock at the European S@H. Rumors of a new DS next year become less and less likely.

Yeah... except for blasters, laser guns, swords, sabres, crossbows, pistols, revolvers, submachine guns, rifles, slingshots... If they don't want to make a gun tank, they could make a recovery tank, engineering tank or a bridgelayer. Buffel or Kodiak for example would be great: Or Dachs:

No, the rumor said it is this fall release.

Or Volvo?...

And games...

This seems to be designed specifically for the Lego Wall-E :) http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/art/60241544/

No, we don't. Unless by "normal" you mean white color, not the classic OT design. Because those in the teasers (no trailer yet!) are of exactly the same new design as the Poe's one. Just the color is different.

I was referring specifically to those at the tips of the new X-wing wings. Of course they can be removed, but the way they were incorporated there by the designer looks quite bad in my opinion.

It is quite clear already that the X-Wing wings require some serious modding to make them at least in the ballpark of the movie design... Right now they suck. And those spring shooters... yuck... :(

I'm surprised the TIE wing panels are LBG, not white... It just doesn't look right to me. It now looks just like a negative of a regular OT TIE with LBG and black swapped. Of course it will probably be very easy to replace the LBG plates with white ones, but still - this is not what I expected... And it looks like they repeated the same mistake from the previous MF: a sticker on 2x2 round tile near the upper guns. It will not last long... :(

I've read that the 45544 does not come with a software license?

Well, actually those AT-ATs predate the ESB ones :)

I doubt it. If there really is going to be a new huge UCS set in February, then it must be already close to production. It would be extremely risky for TLG to prepare a "flagship" set from the new movie before its premiere. Rather something from the OT or even PT. Something like the Cloud City, but done like the DS, so in the overall shape of the whole structure, but with several "playset" rooms on top with all the scenes... (I can dream, can't I?...)

Nah. They wouldn't be restocking 10188 if they planned to have a new DS in a few months. Current status of 10188 at European S@H store is "Out of stock, expected ship date 11 Sep 2015" (after being "Sold out" since May the 4th).

Backprinting. And a third leg! A detachable new mold that could be attached to the bottom of the body at an angle to represent moving droid. Then R2 would really be definitive The set was described as ROTS Obi-Wan's Interceptor, so it is 100% an Episode 3 set.

Polish edition of the first one was released only six days ago, so we still need to wait a few weeks for the second one.

It was 60 GBP...

Remember that bantha in the video on TLG website? Maybe it will be included in the Droid Edcape Pod set?... I know that the pod and banthas were not in the same scene, but who knows?...

"Bespin Carbon Freezing Chamber" sounds VERY interesting!

Yesterday I saw all the Scooby Doo sets in a Lego affiliated shop (we don't have a true Lego store in this country :-( ) in Gdansk, Poland. So they are available in mainland Europe :)

I actually compared the MF photo to the 7965 I have on the shelf and while it indeed is very similar in places, it is also significantly modified at the same time. And I mean the main structure, not colors or greebling. It is certainly much flatter.

I can't wait to get Ahsoka Tano / Fulcrum in some future Rebels set :) I want a minifig of her, but without those huge CW eyes... It seems pretty obvious that TLG would include her,but you never know...

I thought that your bank balance is zero ;) And to stay on topic: today I got the Grievous' Wheel Bike and some minifigs from BL (10 battle droids, 5 commando droids, one clone trooper and Plo Koon).
