  1. Thanks guys! I'm glad you all liked it- and I'm surprised people are still playing it. Aw, but that can be done without invincibility. My favorite thing to do is jump on top of the IFT-Xs and shoot the gunners in the head.
  2. Er.... link? I can't find them.
  3. Well, it is cheaper plastic, but it's gotten a little better, so I've heard. I'm very picky- so I can't stand having inferior quality figs in my parts bin. Also, they're pretty expensive. But it's your choice. If you don't mind figs that are slightly different than others, and cost less than the set they come in, go ahead. They do tend to go on sale fairly often, too, so you might want to wait until then.
  4. One of my favorite things to do on SW: Battlefront is blowing people up with rocket launchers. Two of my least favorite things on Battlefront are Rebel pilots (because of their shotguns) and turrets. Note the ammo and health canisters. A few more pics on Flickr
  5. October 26, huh? Right on my birthday. Maybe I'll try to get a PS3 so I can do the game justice. (I only have the first one on Wii... ugh.) The only problem I have with him fighting clones is that the game could get dull. The nice thing about fighting Jedi in the the first FU was that each Jedi had their own character and style, with their own unique world they lived on- Raxus Prime and Felucia. These had stunning scenery- if we start fighting clones, what reason is there to travel to these exotic locations?
  6. Meh. Personally I feel that the board is now harder to navigate, and it's harder to notice things on first glance. For example, names aren't seperated by underlines, and I keep thinking that a member's name is 'offline'. The line between posts is very faint, and it's harder to tell where one ends and another begins. The faded writing is also a pain.
  7. Excellent. My only complaint is that the cave needs to be stone gray, but the light-up crystals make up for it.
  8. Interesting design. I can see you've tried to fit in certain elements, like the drum and the upper handgrip. The main body seems a little too big, though. I love your BF II version. I remember hating it in the game, though- the charge-up made it absolutely useless, especially once the award blaster was unlocked.
  9. Another great trailer. The animation is great, and the action is absolutely stellar. Seems to me that the Sith were really underpowered. Force-sensitives are supposed to be able to sense threats, what someone is going to do before it happens. So how was the guy (as cool as he was) able to bull rush his way through two sith? They should have had time to anticipate his attack... and kill him with lightsabers. Also, it's never going to be this epic. It's an MMO- the idea of the game is to get you to keep playing it, with no end in sight. There's not going to be a storyline tale as we'd see in a console game. Now, to repeat the same old garbage I said earlier: Giving the troops that armor is a mistake. It is exactly the same as clone armor. They even have the visors, the white, and the color scheme. They look exactly like phase II troopers... We know that clone armor was designed by Jango Fett and the Kaminoans- the helmet by Mandalorians, and the white-and-black colors by the Kaminoan's eccentric taste. Don't tell me that it was 'just evolution' from the Old Republic stuff. Truth is, they're just rehashing it so it looks familiar, and they're trying to get kids to play it by cashing in on the clone look.
  10. Oof. This is a hard one. I voted for the astronaut, as it seems to have the most practical uses- it's already become a favorite for Space builders. It was a close call, though.
  11. Wow, that's beautiful. I love the way you achieved the floating look for the asteroids, and the black base adds to it wonderfully. A very unique MOC for the contest!
  12. I'll be going to University of Montana. I plan to major in wildlife biology, and UM has a great program, being so near to mountains.
  13. Today, I graduated. (High School)
  14. Nice job. However, I think the rounded parts above the wings look better in dark green- they're green on the comparison model you've shown. One of the main problems I've had with TLC's version is the wing- I don't really like how it swings down. The 'real' slave I's wings rotate, and the diagonal bar isn't solidly attacked to it. Still I suppose this is just for the cockpit's rotating play feature.
  15. Thanks for the link! That's really cool.
  16. Sometimes ya just feel like exploding, you know? Octopus viking?
  17. And now, it shall be mine...
  18. Great 'slice', very action-y. The wookie charging a droid with a knife is a nice touch. The AT-RT is impressive; though looking at your MOCs I see you have a thing for AT-RTs.
  19. Ooh. The shuttle looks great. The lines are so smooth... I really hope that it's not a single piece, as others have said. Still, as a UCS, it's hard to imagine lego doing that.

    Cool! It's always nice to take care of a live bird for a day or two- compared to finding dead ones outside the window, as is usually the case. I help take care of injured raptors at a local museum, so they're not quite as cuddly.
  21. A PaB order: 20x 2x1 dark green plates 450x 2x2 dark green tiles 400x 2x2 light bley tiles 25x 1x1 dark green plates Turns out, the 2x2 tiles were far cheaper on PaB than they were on BL. The dark green tiles were $0.08 on PaB, and the cheapest large quantity of them was $0.22.
  22. 1. No. As they say, the model is more than the sum of its parts. However, if I took it apart, they do have some great parts. 2. Individually. If I like a set, I get it. If all the other sets in the theme are great, well, then I get the others, too. 3. Burj al Arab, Sydney Opera House, or Big Ben. 4. Anything that is high quality and well-constructed is fine by me. I think the Castle theme could do with a nice castle to go with the MMV, although it would have to be ridiculously expensive to be a proper castle. A lighthouse would be amazing. I put it in 4 because I don't have a specific one in mind.
  23. There are plenty of bricks, although obtaining large quantities of the same kind are difficult unless you buy them. Personally, I feel that the building mode needs to be helped. It's a pain, and is more difficult to work with than LDD. (Hopefully this is general enough not to violate any rules, yet still answers your question) And I've been running the minifigs under the names Accipiter and Corvus.

    The Specter

    Unfortunately GPP's were never installed, as they were still experimental at the time. Unfortunately, the only personalities the designers could get were Italian taxi drivers and nagging in-laws, which as you can imagine never went over well with the focus groups.
  25. Beautiful, and great attention to detail- it even has the nob that Obi-wan hangs from.
