I reckon with ongoing license renewals, LEGO will get round to everything evetually! Bail is a fairly important character... and his speeder is cool. I wouldn't be suprised to see Bail's speeder and some 501st clones at some point in the future. Look forawrd to it.

Thanks for the pictures lads! The new AT-AT seems okay but I can't help feel a bit disappointed. It's not as good as the original, it's debatable whether it's better than 10178 - which walks - and it's smaller than both. Pedro's Pros Head looks really nicely detailed as do the feet. Will have an interior. Minifig selection is consistent with Hoth-ness. Pedro's Cons The main body looks slightly out of proportion being 6 studs long on the front third and 8 long and the back third - middle is the same length. It makes the head and feet look huge. Like a puppy. The legs seem as far set apart as the motorised version which was forgiveable on 10178 because the main body had to house the motor - this doesn't so should be proportionately accurate. No Luminara Unduli... ...joking. My point here is that LEGO seems to be pushing any minifigs into any sets, whether related or not (though not to this extreme), as a sweetener to encourage purchase. So its okay... but LEGO could've done so much better than this. We've seen so many truly outstanding sets with the Town modular houses & buildings, the Pirates theme Imperial Flagship and many previous Star Wars to name a few. For such a lucrative theme LEGO should consistently be bringing that sparkle to all these Star Wars sets. You've got to understand, I'm not one to complain at all, I'm a huge Star Wars and LEGO fan but this year's Star Wars releases have been, on whole, a let down for me - for the first time ever. I'm really in two minds as to whether I'll buy this, which probably means I won't - at least not immediately. You want the moon on a stick you do! But I guess crack will suffice. I agree from a parent/child perspective this set will be a must have, but with LEGO price inflation I don't believe that reduced parts will mean reduced price. This will probably sit at the same price point as the original.

Jedi Master Squidsaber versus Jedi Initiate Trolius, duel I... winner: Trolius. Round 3 Squidsaber (3) Trolius(3) Parry - 0 Parry - 0 Low - 0 High - 1 Parry - 0 Sabre Throw - 1 Sabre Flurry / Mid - 0 Mid - 0 Sabre Throw - 1 Low - 0 Health: 1 Health: 2 Squidsaber mis-judges the lesser experienced Trolius, who stuns the Jedi Master with a rapid combination of strikes. Finally the initiate stays his hand... Squidsaber bows to Trolius accepting his defeat. Trolius has won the duel! Congratulations TheMaster, you've won your 1st duel in the tournament. You've both have potentially 2 more fights against each other - I don't think CallMePie will make this easy for you! -
Great work dude, looks much better with a mixture of parts rather than monochrome.

Unlucky brickme, Kike fought really well but just doesn't have the level of ability that DarkFang possesses. -

Aw, no! I didn't get mad at you! :kissbetter: I'll update each rund with a new post if it mkaes it easier. -
Hey, Here's my sigfig, be great if you could include him. The head and torso are pretty rare, the head being Two-Face's henchman and the torso from HP's Mad-Eye Moody. If you don't have 'em the lego policeman's head from 7235 would be grand and I'm sure there's a torso that would suit - Dino Attack? Racers maybe? Cheers!

If you find an opponent I'll adjudicate for you - as long as you don;t need the whole duel resolved a.s.a.p.

Hey, Just wanted to check player's preference on my layout of their duels. Are you all happy with me creating a single post for your duel then updating it with subsequent rounds (as I've been doing)? Or would you rather I created a new post for each round of your duels? Or does it matter? -

Fanatastic review Clone O'Patra and high on my list for this years purchases. I absolutely love the variety of new minifigs, accessories and parts in these Prince of Persia sets; there's so much application for them beyond the set in our MOCs. Your photos do them so much justice, I can't wait to get my hands on them! Thanks for taking the time to present us this quality set.
