  1. The leaked image from the upcoming CMF Series has a ninja that honestly by itself would be perfect for Nobu from Daredevil in Season 1.
  2. Yeah the lack of regular storm troopers is disappointing. Say what you will about the frown face rebels ones, but for 12 Bucks you get 4 of them and a decent variety of pieces. I just hope they do away with the dumb projectile launching blasters. I will say that the new Tan Trooper looks pretty cool, but not enough to warrant buying a set. I'm sure these are gonna be way over priced and I could probably build them from my stock alone. The rebel ship looks weak. IDK maybe the AT-ST I'd buy. The new TIE looks cool but probably priced higher than it should be.
  3. Fixed. Sorry haha missed that one
  4. To each his own. I think there's a place for them, but not in every build. Thanks.
  5. Small Category #9 Large Category #7
  6. You really hate studs, don't you? haha
  7. Yeah I really like your Bwing too. I'd be interested in seeing more of that.
  8. Guess I'd better follow suit here. My Small Entry: Finding the dark side http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=131507 My large entry: The Bounty Hunter on Ord Mantell http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=132105
  9. Thanks.Idk if I'd compare the 2. Halfway through this I thought it might be too big for a free build but just said whatever kept going.
  10. My second after action report from the field is complete and ready for review. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=133638
  11. After discovering the presence of a hidden Rebel base in Sector 217, Major Plumhol is sent a small Element of battle hardened storm troopers to locate the rebel base and eradicate them. Rebel: Base, this is Delta 7. I am inbound to your position now. Commander Adleni: Delta 7, this is Base. We have you on approach. You're clear for entry. The rebel enters the base and checks in with the commander. Rhodian Rebel: How'd it go? Rebel: I saw nothing. Again. This is my 2nd two day over watch this week. Whoever their informant was, they gave us bad information. Rebel: Is that why we're on stand down? Rebel: Yes. I reported in to Commander Adleni and he agreed that we probably received bad information. They would have come for us by now. I'm gonna get some shut eye, I'm wiped. Just as things began to quiet down in the night..... Storm Trooper: Major! I snapped this holo image about an hour ago. Major Plumho: Good Work Trooper! Sergeant Reik! Sergeant Reik: Sir! Major Plumho: Assemble everyone up, lets get ready to move. Sergeant Reik: Major, this is First Sergeant Alarkis from the 403rd Shock Trooper Division. First Sergeant Alarkis: Major, it is my pleasure. *They Salute* Major Plumho: Sergeant, the pleasure is mine. What have we stumbled upon here that command has deemed worthy of sending you to take over? First Sergeant Alarkis: Major I am here simply as a tactical advisor. You are the commanding officer. Command has grown tired of this desert wasteland and want these rebels wiped off the rock. Lord Vader personally authorized your request for overflight scans of the sector. Major Plumho: I am glad we have the full support of the Empire. Our scans indicate the rebels have been probing the outskirts of their territory hoping to uncover us after discovering their comm relay station several days ago. Aside from that, things seem fairly relaxed here. They don't appear to be on alert. Intel believes this outpost to be nothing more than spy ring. We will take them under cover of dark. First Sergeant Alarkis: I am at your service Major. Major Plumho: TheBeeze, get on point. You're taking us in. TheBeeze: Roger that Sir. The storm troopers go silent and proceed to move into the Hill Pass Ravine using hand signals. One by one they bound passed one another covering an extended amount of ground. Inside the main complex Commander Adleni: Captain, my men have charged the speeder for you. The space port is not far. At this time of night, you should not run into any Tusken Raiders or Imperials if you stick to that route. I'm sure you can find a pilot willing to get you off this planet. That intel you recovered may prove crucial down the road to us. I have a bad feeling that we are not going to be here much longer. Captain Plakarse: Thank you Commander. I will inform the General of your conditions here and see if there is anything we can do to help you and your men. OUTSIDE First Sergeant Alarkis sees the ambient glow of a night light in a cut out of the rock face above. After looking at his map scan he believes there to be several rebels positioned above them. He signals the Major that he is going to toss a thermal detonator. Rolling across the ground the rebels awaken... Rhodian Rebel: BOMB! GET OUT! The explosion rips the ravine sending a deafening roar of fire, rock, and smoke through the base. TheBeeze: Here they come! The remaining rebels in the main base leap to life scrambling to return fire on the storm troopers who are slowly encircling them. Captain Plakarse makes a mad dash to the speeder bike while taking down a storm trooper. The Captain manages to escape while the Imperials breach the base. The Beeze manages to get behind the rebel commander and knock him down with his rifle. First Sergeant Alarkis: Take him outside, the sun is coming up. Commander Adleni: You have failed imperial. You are too late. First Sergeant Alarkis: Your base is destroyed and your men have burned, I'd say we've succeeded. Commander Adleni: You will learn in time of your failure. TheBeeze: MEDIC! The major has been hit. Hang on Major, we'll get you out of here. As the medics Come to retrieve the Major, TheBeeze marches straight up to the Duros Commander and punches him square in the jaw. First Sergeant Alarkis pulls him back as the storm troopers start to pick up the rebel. First Sergeant Alarkis: I hear this is two in a row for you? TheBeeze: We let the pilot get away. First Sergeant Alarkis: Excuse me trooper? TheBeeze: The pilot who got away in the junk town just got away in the fire fight. He has to be the key to this. Sergeant Reik is dead, and the Major is now out of action. I am not done here. First Sergeant Alarkis: Things happen in combat out of your control. You need to learn that. You did well today. You may have a future with us yet. I will keep an eye on you trooper. We are going to work on getting you a new assignment and hopefully off of this rock. Hang tough. The Storm Troopers depart with their prisoner and board a shuttle to head back to their Star Destroyer with TheBeeze coming along for reassignment. Major Plumho will live on to fight another day. Just outside the Mos Eisley Spaceport... Captain Plakarse: That was a close call. I need to get out of here and get this into the right hands.
  12. Follow up coming today.
  13. I thought your landing gear design was brilliant. Very nice build overall of course.
  14. Josh thanks for the change and advice. The unfinished look was actually kind of my goal. It's a run down junk spot in the middle of nowhere. I suppose more junk would have been appropriate, but I didn't wanna crowd the space either. Will adjust for the next one if we return to a town. Thank you!
  15. After Action Report for my First Mission on Tatooine has been posted. A Tatooine Discovery.
  16. Tatooine Discovery- A desolate village on Tatooine which is engulfed in junk dealers and moisture farmers draws the suspicious and watchful eye of the Empire due to a new Storm Trooper looking to make a difference in the galaxy...... Sergeant Reik: Where the hell is this kid? Major Plumho: Relax Sergeant, this is his first assignment. Do you remember your first assignment? Out there feeling like you alone would crush the rebellion? Sergeant Reik: Yes Major, but I never WENT ALONE! This kid has a real pair on him. Major Plumho: Well, lets just hope he's not wasting our time out here with the radio call. An Hour Earlier TheBeeze: I'm out in this town... Day 1 on the job... And I'm already seeing things I don't like. I'm in the middle of a Junk Dealer Alley and I see this building. More Sophisticated than all the others. Reinforced Door. Long Range Comms Gear Mounted on the Roof. I'm gonna call this in for backup and poke around a little more on my own. Random Pilot: Hey Trooper! Come over here. Random Pilot: What brings you to these parts? Quiet little remote town like this never sees any Imperials. TheBeeze: How about I ask the questions here... What brings a pilot like yourself to a remote junk dealing town in the middle of nowhere, miles from any spaceport? Random Pilot: Ahhh very perceptive. Well my ship broke down on a run about 3 miles north of here. I'm trying to scrounge a compressor to get it going. TheBeeze: Why didn't you report the damaged aircraft? I have not been notified of any damaged aircraft in my sector. Random Pilot: My comms are not working either (Looking passed the Storm Trooper to see Two Mounted Storm Troopers arriving) Sergeant Reik: Storm Trooper, Report! Random Pilot: Looks like you better get moving. *Chuckling* TheBeeze: You Wait Right Here, I'm not done with you. (As he turns and walks away) Major Plumho: Trooper is this the building you reported? TheBeeze: Yes Major I think it ha.. Major Plumho: Sergeant Reik Escort the rookie inside this structure and check it out! I'll pull security. Sergeant Reik: Roger! Sergeant Reik: Major, we've got something here! Major Plumho: What is it Sergeant? Sergeant Reik: It looks like this is a Rebel Weapons Cache and Intel Relay Station. They've been spying on our Sector! Major Plumho: Sergeant! Get out here! Gamorrean: It is not safe for you here. Sergeant Reik: Creature! Be careful what you say or we'll make the world less safe for you. Gamorrean: Rebels come and go from this building quite frequently. They maintain a small base a short distance from here in hill pass. They are probably watching you right now. TheBeeze: The Pilot! I knew something was wrong with him. Major, I was interrogating a pilot just before you arrived. His story did not check out. Major Plumho: Lets move away from here and call this in. Before Dark Sets in. Major Plumho: Good Job kid. Command is going to detach an element and we're going to hit that Pass to clear it out. Sergeant Reik: You better be ready for this. TheBeeze: Thank you Major. Sergeant, I will be ready. Major Plumho: I see you picked up one of those E11s Rifles from the rebels, you're going to need it. And do us a favor, clean your uniform. Dark Sets In as the Dewbacks Depart TheBeeze: Well Day 1 and I uncovered a rebel plot and picked up a new accurate blaster. I think our scouts carry these. Maybe some day.... Well, better head back and get ready for this battle. Back in Town a Faint, almost incoherent voice whispers into a Commlink Jawa: They are sending a detachment your way. Can a Mod please change the name of the topic to- [soNE Freebuild]- A Tatooine Discovery. Thank you.
  17. I am joining the ranks. Please ensure that I will be given the proper Imperial Authorization Codes for all Forms of Communication.
  18. Hi All, After reading through this whole section, this looks really intriguing and I want to participate. I had a few questions, I apologize if these are answered, but reading through all of this was a bit overwhelming haha. 1. Can I create a character for the contest who is not a human? IE a Sullustan Rebel. 2. Are you allowed to do free builds between Episodes? Like right now, I see there is no current episode going on so if I did a freee build, how would that effect my free build count now or when the next episode comes out? 3. Can free builds influence the narratives to future Episodes at all? 4. I read somewhere (and now I can't find) that by doing something or gaining XP it lifts the restrictions on the amound of free builds. Can someone pinpoint that for me? Seconding that point, is there a summary of "Perks and Achievements" in one organized area to see doing which actions allows you to do what? 5. And lastly, I assume when I'm ready to start, I just post in this thread my Faction and Picture of my Character right? Thank you all again. I apologize for the redundancy but I just read way too much in one shot.
  19. I don't know about availability in other countries, but I use something called Milliput. It's 2 part sculpting/molding plastic epoxy. You make your mixture, apply, sculpt, and wait about 2 hours to harden. Then you can paint. It's what I used for my custom ghillie suits. Custom Ghillie Suit by Jesse Beeze, on Flickr
  20. It does say appear, but according to Obi Wan, didn't he die before episode 1 took place?
  21. Thank you everyone. I appreciate it. Sorry for the late response, I've been traveling.
  22. Thanks Man! Sorry, I've been traveling.
  23. 1) I got back into Lego a few years ago and was offered the VIP card in the store one day. I use it today for every purchase. I save point to put towards potential big sets I may want in the future. 2) The ability to reward yourself with the points later on in the future for larger purchases. 3) The VIP program does not influence my direction very much. 4) More options in store for Pick-A-Brick for VIP members. Maybe a specific sized cup or different part selections. Or perhaps better pricing and part availability from Pick a Brick Online. A large portion of the older community are MOCers. Having some competitive pricing from Lego direct would probably encourage competition on Bricklink as well. 5) I honestly feel that a large portion of people who shop at the lego store (at least locally by me) see this as a way to earn credit in store. The VIP "Events" don't feel VIP. The staff I always encounter are great, but there is no distinction between VIP and Random Customer Bob. I think a higher level program would be worth visiting.
