Exactly. They won't be able to sell them because of the new LOTR sets!

The R2 ejector sounds like it would be cool, and yay more flick fires

A few days ago I picked up the MF. It is now one of my most favourite sets, along with the Death Star.

Overall, these look great. The X-wing only has some minor improvements from the old one, and I didn't even notice them at first. The Jedi Interceptor looks good, and no, they will not be CW versions. TLG is simply just using those already existing figs as placeholders while the final new design is finished. The Droid Escape is awesome! The Geonosian canon looks cool. Finally wings again. But, I'm just upset they are making a new CW Barriss when they made a perfectly good normal version in 2010. As for the BPs: I'm a bit iffy. For now they look OK, but maybe when the new CW Phase 2 helmet is really done, my view may be changed. Also, why are Ben and Indy on Endor!

These are some good ideas, but why would there be Magna guards in the Arena? Also, some of the prices seem a bit unrealistic, mainly the Arena, with 21 figs. It would either have a higher price or less figs.

If LEGO gets a license for The Hobbit, then LOTR will inevitably happen. And with The Hobbit being less violent, they will probably base sets first off of those two films and then branch off into the three LOTR films. If LEGO made a LOTR theme, it would be the most amazing thing ever, even if it only lasted two or three waves.

I have a question for anyone who owns the Castle Fortaan game: Can the Helmet of Protection fit on a normal lego minifig?

My Castle Kingdom has six factions: Crownies, Dwarves, Lion Knights, Orcs, Skeletons and Dragon Knights. But, these factions get grouped together into two main factions: The Forces of Good (Crownies, Lions, Dwarves), and the Forces of Evil (Orcs, Skeletons, Dragons). I also have a bunch of random old stuff from the old castle lines which I just make extra troops from.

It truly is unfortunate that the Naboo set is fake. That set is EXACTLY what I want. Who knows, maybe someone has just heard a rumour and said "Why not see what it might look like?" Doubt it, though.

I was just on lego.com and found a map of Heroica with details on certain parts of the land. I thought it was useful, so here is a link to the page: http://heroica.lego.com/en-us/BookofLore/map.aspx

Having not been chosen for a quest, Trotter had spent the past day and a half studying in the library, eating and drinking and listening to the numerous conversations taking place in the Hall. He had been reading about the history of the Ancient World and the first battles of the Heroica Heroes. He had enjoyed his reading, but now he felt he needed to go out for a walk. Trotter decided to go to the western shores of Eubric, to enjoy some fresh sea air.

OOC: I know, thats why I posted that, so it would put an end to the story. I felt it couldn't just be left there.

The door slammed shut as Trotter returned from his journey to the mountains. "Evening, lady Madilinas." said Trotter. "I have some news about our littele Orc problem in the mountains." He ordered a warm bowl of stew and some tea. "It looks as if the Orcs and the Barbarians were never planning to attack us. In fact, they were never actually in an alliance. The Orcs must have been planning this for months. It looked as if multiple Orc warlords had devised a plan to eradicate the Barbarians. They brought their forces together, and faked an alliance with the multiple tribes of Barbarians. They then must have lured them all to the mountains, and there they slaughtered them, and stole all their belongings. All I saw was remnants of a camp and hundreds of dead Barbarians. There were a few Orcs dead, but maybe only twenty or thirty. All the Barbarians were murdered."

Trotter stops at the Orc trail. The footprints of the Troll are still there from the day before. He looks up towards the mountains and can see smoke rising from where the Orcs and Barbarians have made camp. He turns to Erdathcath and says "Go back to the Hall. I will go and see how many there are. You should be there for when the names are announced." Trotter then turned towards the mountains and began to make his way to the Orc camp.

Trotter finished his meal and his tea. He headed out of the Hall to take a walk before the chosen names were given out.

"Smart. I have only signed up for the one quest, and if I don't get chosen, so be it."

"Let's hope so! Although, I've only just signed up today for quest 2. I thought I already had when the sign up sheets were first up, but I guess I signed something else. Might have just been a blank sheet of paper."

Trotter woke feeling sore. He hopped of the rocking chair and headed to get some food. As he walked he noticed that he hadn't signed for any quests! He ran over to the board and signed up for QUEST #2 , Hoping it wasn't too late. Then he went and sat with Erdathcath and ordered some eggs and bacon and a cup of tea. "Good morning!" he said to the Elf. "How was your night? Mine was fantastic! I dreamt I grew to be 100 feet tall and I crushed all the Orcs that have ever done evil in this world!"

Trotter sits by the fire in a rocking chair and lights his pipe. His feet dangle above the floor as he rocks back a forth, slowly nodding off to sleep.

Trotter woke up from his long sleep feeling well rested, but hungry. He made his way downstairs and asked for a mug of ale and some rabbit stew. "Good evening Lady Madilinis. How has your day been?"

This was my intention when coming up with the whole story.

"Mr. Bacari, you are an Elf like no other." said Trotter. Trotter finished his cup of tea. "I'm going upstairs to catch up on my sleep." He then headed up to his room and went to sleep.

"Thank you." said Trotter, taking a sip of tea. "For the time being, we should not worry ourselves with this, but we must keep an eye out for anything unusual. I feel like this will not become a true threat for a while, but when it does, we have to be ready."
