The Middleman

The force annoys me. You can't just move things according to your wishes, it's all preset.

Hey, you lousy Brits got the ARC long before us, you have no right to complain. :P

That would be 'torturing'. Noun of torture. And yeah, I want close-ups of the figs too!

Quiet... the conservative Christians might hear you. ;)

I guess that means that the link worked :-D It is a really cool tank, I put the speeder on top so I wouldn't have to modify the inside to fit it (i'm to lazy) it's weird because whenever you push it forward and try to change its direction, it tilts in the direction opposite of the one your trying to turn it ( but it still turns) its so cool! Make sure you fix the panels like I noted above!

Hey, the front-side panels are upside down. The clear pieces should line up. ;) Oh, and so are the middle-front/side panels, the slant should go along the top. Looks awesome, though!

Of course! Right now it's just 22 battle droids w/ blasters fighting 3 of my Clone Scout Walkers (the other one's being manned in the dock). I did a little improvisation and created a pretty large base for the clones, with a loading station for the CSWs and a landing pad for the ARC-170 on top. It looks good, though. As soon as I can find the charger cable for my camera, I'll get pics up and running.

It's just you, I think. I have that problem with Brickset, though.

It's interesting. I'll have to read Eaters of the Dead now, I've been putting off that Crichton book for a while. EDIT: Phes, that's the only one with Viking in its name, but I always thought that this was the most Viking-ish ship in existence right now:

Do you have that on top of tax? Because we do, you know, pay tax as well (7 cents on the dollar here in NC).

What is VAT? I've been hearing a lot about it lately.

Get more walkers! You can never have enough walkers. Ever.

Out of curiousity, why do you spell it Vickings?

I don't! But it'll be worth it - have to pick up a few green baseplates, too... It'll be: Droid Tri-Fighter - 1 (wait for the space battle to get another) General Grievous Chase - 1 (it's crap!) Ultimate Lightsaber Duel - 1 (also pretty much crap!) Wookiee Attack - 2 (battle droids! Cool vehicles! Wookiees!) Wookiee Catamaran - 2 (wookiees! CLONES!) Darth Vader Transformation - 1 (why more?) Clone Turbo Tank - 2 (normal clones |-/ ) The total bill, with tax, will be $462. I plan to have a very impressive clone army.

Yeah, you're nipping at my heels from 250-some posts away! :-D

But such a LONG week! But April 1st is going to be so awesome - first I'm going to go see Sin City in the evening, then I'm going to go to a midnight madness event to pick up all the series (with multiples of the catamaran and the turbo tank!). It'll be such a kickass day.

I'll try that, thanks. I think that one is doing midnight madness, though, so they might be keeping tight hold on the sets until then. :'(

I'm more worried about Orlego - where is he? What's he been doing? Oh, and I now have the highest posts of any normal member! :-D

Well, I hope nobody that doesn't want spoilers reads this thread! Side note: I'm even with David85's posts now! :-D

There's a TRU next to Crabtree Valley Mall, beside a Barnes and Noble, that's pretty big. If you mean that one, I was there just yesterday (live like 10 minutes away from it), and they only have the JSF/VD.

You mean Crabtree?

It was good, but not in the 'recent' timeframe he was looking for.

Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. I hate it here - used to live in Minneapolis, near the LEGO Imagination Center in the Mall of America.

ARGH! All these other people finding big sets but me. :'( Not a Zeller's or Meijer's anywhere remotely close to me. Guess I'll have to wait for the 2nd (at midnight).

I'll end up picking it up just for Grievous and for the sake of having a complete collection, but yeah, it is a <insert that tiresome argument> hunk of junk with an overinflated price tag.
