  1. Champions of light and dark have crossed the cold depths of space to face each other in bitter combat. Many of galaxy-wide renown have met their match, bested by those who will surely go on to become legends. Now, these few are drawn closer still, to their rivals and to their destiny... Jedi Master DarkFang - WhiteFang Jedi Master Ber'gin'yon Torg'h - Walter Kovacs Jedi Master Jim Butcher - Jim Butcher Sith Lord Dar'vole'e - Filip Skywalker This is it!

  2. Course not! Just hugely, over-developed pecs. Tere's a fitness and training centre back there in the passenger hold... Great review though, thanks HJR. It is stunning; definately for keen collectors who love the Imperial Shuttle. The figures are a nice inclusion but don't add much as it's 100% about the model. I'd pick this up if I had the cash growing from a tree outside!
  3. Mandalorians, Clones, Jedi, oh my!!! This looks to be a great line-up here; lots of new minifigures and vehicles can't be wrong! Highlights for me must be the T-6, which I'm intrigued to see in all it's glory. It's almost like a Jedi battlepack with a large model! The figure selection is impressive, especially the inclusion of Shaak Ti who's up there with my favourite Jedi. And then we've got the Bounty Hunter Gunship and the wicked Aurra Sing. Glad to see LEGO got around to creating her minifig likeness. Mandalorians too... welcome surprise there though I hope there'd be some variation between them... we'll see. All in all much more pleased with this line-up than this years earlier releases... keen to see more photos. Have faith! I'm pretty sure Saesee will get his own face.
  4. Absolutely. I'll post the new thread with final stages tomorrow.

    Like Big Cam said, in about 19 - or 16 - years, I'm sure there'll be a new member here on Eurobricks! It's unavoidable! My wee Padawan's destiny has already been laid out! Haha! I'll see it as justification to buy even more LEGO! On it already, all are strategically up high! Yeah... peaple keep saying that we'll need to get sleep wherever we can... wonder why that is...?! Ah, we'll be over the moon with whatever we get so have kept it a surprise. Thanks for the kind comments again everyone. I'll be sure to try and visit as much as possible after B-day!
  7. Below is the updated tournament table as it currently stands. Once I get a confirmation off all players or substitute as necessary, I'll create the next stage thread.

    Thanks so much for the kind sentiments everyone. Haha! Does that make them and I DFOLs (Daddy Fan of LEGO)? I might very well need some advice... maybe we could have a new thread, a new parent AFOL Q&A... Aye, mrs pedro and I can't wait... we're happily enjoying blissful optimism before everything changes...! I'm sure I'll be back, maybe with a series of Star Wars related DUPLO MOCs... DUPLO Prince of Persia even...? We want it to be a surprise so won't know the sex 'til the big day. Best find a replacement for CC for the time being. I'll hopefully have a chance to play in the future. Best of luck with it for the time being. Ace! Actually, the cot has alternate instructions for a bed... how awesome is that? I have some spare parts left over from baby's wardrobe... I'm confident it'll it's sturdy. Maybe I can MOD it? You can count on it! There isn't a room in our house that doesn't have LEGO in it. Well, maybe the bathroom... Future considerations include: do I let the lil' one play with my Death Star...? Definately. Can't ever truly keep me away...
  9. I've sent mails to the final few competitors and hopefully they'll be able to pick up where I left off. If not, I'll choose replacements from those who made it farthest. Apologies for letting this slide after going so well; I've written an explanation here and trust you all will understand. Before I disappear for a while all that remains is to get this tournament wrapped up. Let's finally find out who this 'Chosen One' is!

    Hey everyone, For the past while now I've pretty much been inactive and some of you may been wondering where I've gotten to... Well, my lovely wife and I are expecting our first child! Due October 22nd, this will be our first child and has left us extremely busy, 'nesting', painting, re-decortaing and me applying my LEGO-esque instruction reading skills to building cot-beds, chaging units and other assorted furniture! We're both very excited and focused on getting things just right as we prepare for our new arrival. Added to this my work life has amped in complexity, as a change of scenery and new responsibilities has seen permanently busy during my work hours and it's pretty much been non-stop during my work-day for the these last few months. As such, all this has left my non-work online involvement and general LEGO-time at an extreme low. It means that I've not had a mote of time to enter any competitions and more importantly the Jedi Duel contest I've been running has been left on the sidelines which I'm trying to rectify a.s.a.p. (hope you guys understand). So I'm not disappearing permanently, but beyond getting Jedi Duel finished I'll pretty much be inactive here for a while as me wife and begin a new phase of our life. I'll still be watching the forums as Eurobricks is absolutely my first love on the 'net, and hopefully I'll find the time to be an active part of this wonderful community in the not too distant future. Love 'n' hugs to you all, you lovely people... pedro a.k.a. Peter
  11. Hey! Been pretty much absent from the intellinets these past couple of months for reasons I'll explain soon... As to the matter at hand - yes! - it's about time I wrapped up this tournament and there's still the issue of prizes to be awarded. As such I'll be wrap up the remaining stages in a single thread. I'll get things organised this week and PM our current champions when things are in motion...
  12. Stage III is incoming! Been pretty busy at home and work over the past couple of weeks but I'll be updating and posting Stage III this week!
  13. Best of luck to everyone who's entered - some crackin' entries there!
  14. S T A G E ~ II S U M M A R Y Champions of light and dark have crossed the cold depths of space to face each other in bitter combat. Many of galaxy-wide renown have met their match, bested by those who will surely go on to become legends. Now, these few are drawn closer still, to their rivals and to their destiny... Jedi Master Eskallon - Eskallon Sith Lord Dar'vole'e - Filip Skywalker Jedi Master DarkFang - WhiteFang Sith Lord Darth Magma - General Magma A huge congratualtions to all those who have succeeded in dueling through to stage III. Some truly epic duels have come and gone, looking forward to seeing what happens next! Stage III will begin in a weeks time at the earliest. I'll update the current tournament table as soon as I make the draws for the next round.
  15. Sith Lord Lothar versus Sith Lord Dar'vole'e, DUEL III... winner through to Stage III: Dar'vole'e. Round 3 Lothar | 3 Dar'vole'e | 3 Force Lightning - 0 Parry - 0 Force Push - 0 Force Push - 0 Sabre Flurry / High - 0 Parry - 0 Parry - 0 Force Lightning - 0 Kick - 0 Low - 1 Health: 2 Health: 3 Lothar and Dar'vole'e continue their attempts to wear the other down; slicing, dodging and blasting with the vile energies of the Dark Side. It seems that the Sith Lords will be drawn, that they are truly equal, but as Lothar thrusts a kick towards his opponent, Dar'vole'e cuts under and slahes with his lightsabre, sending the massive Sith to the ground. Dar'vole'e stands over his fallen rival, triumphant! Congratulations filip, your champion is through to Stage III! Thanks both for the EPIC duel! I think the odds may have been slightly in filip's favour with Battle Meditation anyway csimian but well done for getting this far. Asides from that it's good to see a character without the high-powered Sabre Flurry make it through.
  16. Congratualtions guys! Really nice imaginative builds and well deserving of those prizes.
  17. Ahhh, CUTE! Congratulations lego-maniac, hope you have a great time playing with it! I also just received my prize for category 3, Ostrich Race, so thanks agian to Svelte, Eurobricks and LEGO!
  18. Sith Lord Lothar versus Sith Lord Dar'vole'e, DUEL III... Round 2 Lothar | 4 Dar'vole'e | 4 Kick - 0 Force Lightning - 1 Force Push - 1 Parry - 0 Force Lightning - 0 Force Push - 0 Parry - 0 Mid - 0 Sabre Flurry / Low - 0 Parry - 0 Health: 3 Health: 3 The Sith Lords assail each other with brutal force, using all the power at their disposal! Dar'vole'e scourges his bitter rival with lethal lash of lightning; Lothar responds by blasting the Sith off his feet with a powerful surge of the Force! Both duelists fight with incredible skill, but the duel nears it's ultimate conclusion... So close! Send your Duel Sequence for round 3 please.
  19. Sith Lord Lothar versus Sith Lord Dar'vole'e, DUEL III... Round 1 Lothar | 5 Dar'vole'e | 5 Parry - 0 Force Push - 1 Sabre Flurry / Mid - 0 Parry - 0 Force Lightning - 0 Force Lightning - 0 Parry - 0 Parry - 0 Force Push - 1 Parry - 0 Health: 4 Health: 4 Facing each other for perhaps the final time, the Sith Lords circle each other lashing out with lethal blows and parrying with equal intensity. Both mete out equal punishment but there is still a long way to go and only one can win... Please send your Duel Sequence for round 2.
  20. Sith Lord Lothar versus Sith Lord Dar'vole'e, DUEL II... winner: Dar'vole'e. Round 3 Lothar | 3 Dar'vole'e | 3 Sabre Flurry / Mid - 0 Parry - 0 High - 0 Force Lightning - 1 Force Push - 0 Force Push - 0 Force Lightning - 0 Parry - 0 Parry - 0 Parry - 0 Health: 2 Health: 3 Lothar launches a ferocious tyrade against his opponent but Dar'vole'e focuses his defenses only lashing Lothar with a burst of lightning. It is enough to sufficiently weaken the Sith Lord however, and he begrudgingly withdraws so as not to meet a terrible fate. Dar'vole'e has won this duel! Well done filip! As you both now have one a duel, you have one more to determine who is throught to the next stage. Good luck. Please send your Duel Sequence to begin Duel III!
  21. Thanks! Will post your next round today, been pretty busy at home and work during week.
  22. YAY! Well done Rick you cherry-lover you. Thanks for the kind votes, I'm glad someone else finds me funny (other than my Mum).
  23. Sith Lord Lothar versus Sith Lord Dar'vole'e, DUEL II... Round 2 Lothar | 4 Dar'vole'e | 4 Parry - 0 Parry - 0 Force Push - 0 Force Push - 0 Force Lightning - 1 Mid - 0 Sabre Flurry / Low - 0 Parry - 0 High - 0 Force Lightning - 1 Health: 3 Health: 3 The Sith Lords ignited light sabers spark and fry as they clash and defend, each of the rivals finding a opening and damaging the other. Lothar and Dar'vole'e are well matched... but there can be only one victor as they duel nears it ultimate end... Whenever your ready, send you DS for round 3!
