Thanks alot *satis* Actually I added the glow to differ the black solar panels from the space... ;)

Hey all, here are some high-resolution pictures of my alternate TIE I made for Darkkazmos contest... I also edited them a bit, came out much better than I thought :) (But I learned that it's a bad idea to use bluescreen while shooting black / grey objects... ;)) Here you go: Brickshelf Gallery (when moderated) Deeplinks: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/ApophisV.../alt_tie_02.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/ApophisV.../alt_tie_03.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/ApophisV.../alt_tie_06.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/ApophisV..._07_cockpit.jpg Comments welcome :)

Yes, the are available here in many stores (real, Intertoys,...) Here in Germany many sets are available suddenly, e.g. the city line, racers and so on....

*thinks about updating the word filter with "tie"*

Ehhh.... I was shopping the last two days, so I made some reviews (mainly Orient Expedition) ;) Please have a look at the review section AND SUBMIT YOUR OWN REVIEWS!!!!!!!!! :^D -Apo Edit by vader316: We have a review forum now??? :-D ;)

Just found this on Brickshelf: Cluedo Vignettes They are so nicely done, full of details and so much accurate :oo

Here you go: http://eurobricks.hosting.ipsyn.com/eurofo...t=ST&f=16&t=447 I havent looked at it, but I'm pretty sure that this thread was off-topic.... ;) I'm sorry but I still haven't any clone troopers.... :(

Lol, maybe he does some varnishing in his free time?!? :D That would explain why all those vehicles in the OT are grey: Ani hasn't any time to varnish anymore... ;)

Hehe, I am getting closer to the 2000 ;)

I had the original version on VHS a long, long time ago... I wonder if I still have it... But if so it doesn't matter because I have no VHS player.... :D I'm really looking forward to this movie, I hope it has as much story as the original and isn't just an effect show....

I'll check my stores next week... Otherwise I will buy all the small Racers sets for parts... ;)

Thanks for the info bigbase! :) I wonder if there will be any Episode III key chains / pens?

*loads philosophical modus* Okay.... this is how I see it: (Don't worry, I won't tell ya anything like "in the 70's the models were.... bla... no cgi.... bla bla....") Everything that is non-empirial made really a step back... Rebels and such guys (pirates, outlaws,...) has to use old vehicles, repaired vehicles,...) So there won't be any crazy looking tridroid-style fighters with them.... The Empire itself got its fleet, with a particular type of mass produced fighters (the standard TIEs) and carriers (the ISDs)... We see that they are powerful enough (at least the empire thought this... ;)), so there is no need to have a bunch of various colorful childish looking fighters or vehicles.... ;)

:oD I've to save some money!!!! :D

Hey, I know now what the problem is: The Slope itself has the height of 2/3, so the angle only depends on this... It was never supposed to fit to any existing slopes.... Now I wish they would produce those slopes with different angles... ;) -(Never satisfied) Apophis

Erm... I got my first 1x1 slopes today (with the new orange racer thing)... Those things aren't compatible with any normal slopes... Their angle is smaller than 45

Is there any info when the new X-Pods will arrive the stores?!? Today I visited several toy stores in my home town, and the city line, most racers and several other things like tubs and so on are now available... But when will the X-Pods be released?!?

Welcome bacvk to all!!!! :)

Oh..... Crimson skies..... *wub* that was a nice game.... :) Hey, and maybe a Dinosaurs in the Jungle theme will mean more Amazon sets... ;)

I want to see the adventures..... *wub* (Somehow this became lateley my new favourite theme after Star Wars..... ;))

I think he's talking about these parts: http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/30033 They are available since '96....

We hadn't any long-lasting snow this winter..... :'( Maybe later this month....

Huh????? :() 8-| :/ *wacko* :^D You don't use it, do you?!? (I'd never stick anything Jack-Stone-related into my mouth..... :P)

I got one from the rummage tub, but no idea about the name....

Hm, thats really wierd... This walker has some thing that makes everybody wanna buy several of it.... I wonder if there is some secret message included into the picture or the model itself that sais "Buy me! Buy me!".... *wacko*
