Brickadeer

I lost my level 19 Wizard, which makes it more difficult to get different classes. Ok. But completing a hundred quests takes a lot of time, doesn't it? What do I have to do to get better drops, btw?

Hm. It's just about running around, killing monsters and bosses, isn't it? Does it make a difference whether I kill a random bossmonster or the quest-monster?

Logically, I can answer your first question with a clear "yes" and the second one with a equally clear "maybe". Seriously: Noone can tell you how much money you'll get. Your second question is pointless since you can't go back in time to sell it if you'd get more money before the new sets were released.

My Accountname is Brickadeer, and I have no idea which server I'm on :) All I know is that I die pretty fast. edit: Currently, it's USE.

Hmm...any hints for a beginner, especially for leveling?

Always the motion in future is... *** POSSIBLE SPOILER *** No, I don't think she will kill him, and no, I don't think he really betrays her.

I generally do. But the point is that I buy (a) sets that I like (b) for a price that I find reasonable and © that I'm willing to keep even if I should not be able to sell them, simply because of (a). Let's take the famous set 10179 for example. I didn't have the money to buy one when it was available for a reasonable price (more precisely, I decided to spend the money differently), and right now I'm not willing to pay the price that is demanded by traders. These are the two reasons why I don't own set 10179, and under the current circumstances I'm not willing to change this fact. Whether I agree to certain price increases or not is besides the point, simply because I'm not in the capacity of influencing them. You might ask the question if I'm not bothered by the fact that I don't own one, and the question is "no". The point is that if I had one this would imediately mean that I had spent my money differently - something I didn't want - or to pay a price for it that I find unreasonable - something I didn't and still don't want to do.

You guys are way too critical and a bit harsh with this show She said "Death Watch" to express her antipathy. If she would have said it earlier, it were a warning, thus her remark had a totally different meaning. It's pretty much the same in ANH, when Princess Leia starts a sentence with the words, "Darth Vader!" once she spots him. Of course her expression has no informational value; both Leia and Vader know that he's Darth Vader :) But I think that noone has ever criticized her for making this remark; it was part of her way of expressing her antipathy for Vader and his actions.

I do not find it very likely - unless Lego releases an "Attack on Kamino" playset, preferably with a Trident-class assault ship that has already made its way through the walls and unboards the Aqua Droids; with ARC Troopers, rocket launchers, 99, Fives, Echo, and, of course, a Kaminoan.

Senator Palpatine is from Naboo. The actions of the Trade Federation provide him with the opportunity to initiate a notion of no confidence (Misstrauensvotum) against the current chancelor. Since he acted to protect Naboo, his home planet, his actions had to appear pretty reasonable to every observer. Ultimately, he made it to become chancelor himself. What he now had to do is (1) to accumulate more power (2) without drawing the attention of the Jedi order to himself. The war of the Republic against the Seperatists served these two interestets: it generated opportunities to accumulate more power, and the Jedi had to turn the attention to winning the war. For Palpatine, however, it simply didn't matter who'd win the war, he'd be the leader of the winning army anyway, so he was in a win-win situation and could focus his attention to other things, e.g. Anakin Skywalker. If I remember correctly Dave Filoni said somewhere that Jedi are no warriors or generals, and that by making war they were endangered to becoming something different. If this is correct, the war focused the attention of the Jedi order at least partially to itself. edit: No, I do not know such a mind map.

Ok. But it's save to say that the printed droids are much cooler than their unprinted counterparts, isn't it?

Does anyone know or may make an educated guess why the security droid in set 7877 Naboo Starfighter is different from the security droid in set 9494 Anakin's Jedi Interceptor?

I did, but it simply struck my mind too late that I should have done it via these links.

Yes, I'm aware of the fact that it is a different scene :) But when I heard of this set, I started wondering what parts of the interior can be used for a set, assumed that it should have some playfeatures. A desk with a drawer that can be opened and closed again? I do not believe so. There are hardly any SW sets that do not contain a vehicle, but only pieces of interior. These sets are old, and they have a playfeature. So I do not believe that this set simply comes up with a door, a desk and a window; instead, I wonder what this playfeature will be.

For some reason, I always believed that the platform lifting Sidious and Yoda into the Senate will be involved. Besides that, I do not see what else playfeatures could be involved.

Yes, they have. The set is called "Anakin's Jedi Interceptor", not "Anakin v. Obi Wan at Mustafa". And Anakin uses the Jedi Interceptor to fly to Gunray before he killed him. The security droid was part of that scene as well. So basically, this set contains minifigures for or appearing in two different scenes.

Afaik you can get it via lego.com It's listed on amazon.de as well.

With regards to 9526, I wonder if Mas Amedda and a phase II non-CW shock troopers will be included :)

In the movies, the AAT has more curves, less details, and looks more compact/consistent. However, I like your built a lot, simply because it looks very tank-ish.

Well, I think that this is true for 2011. In 2008-2010, however, plain white clones appeared in a lot of sets; ten, if I counted correctly. I agree that 7913 would have been a better set if it had a regular trooper instead of a bomb squad trooper. And although I'd like to see more plain white phase 1 clones, I'd also like to see Captain Keeli and his guys (yes, although they appeared just in s03e03), Commander Ponds, and, of course, Commander Bly. And if I were confronted to make choice between one of these Commanders and a plain white clone, I'd vote for one of these Commanders. I'm also happy that Lego made available Commanders in relatively cheap sets. Personally, I'm not quite happy that Lego makes such a distinction at all. I think that Lego is the perfect platform to melt the different universes (TCW, PT, OT) into one, but apparently, that's not gonna happen.

The Ides of March. Excellent. I didn't suppose Clooney to be able to make such a good film.

9494 and 9495 are available at lego.com now: http://shop.lego.com/de-DE/Anakin-s-Jedi-Interceptor-9494 http://shop.lego.com/de-DE/Gold-Leader-s-Y-Wing-Starfighter-9495 And it appears to me that Lego has improved the quality of the new building instructions available for download; 9494 has 59.49 MB. edit: Hm. Curiously, I can't download any instructions (SW) right now. Not sure if it actually was meant for download.

Oky - thanks :)

There is a preview on starwars.comas well. I'm not sure if I understand the dialogue between Dooku and Sidious correctly. Can anyone explain to me in which case Dooku shall end the rule of the Zygerrian Queen?

Ah ok. I've never been aware of that.
