according to the Lego Contact Us button reply I got, yes :(

July / August issue is the next one to get a SW set. The next two are, from memory, a truck and a bin lorry.

where can I buy your book from ?

I just saw an ad for that on TV and I immediately ordered all of their 2009 SW sets :D

almost at an end?! The current deal runs through till the end of 2011 does it not ? Plus, I reckon it'll be renewed ... sales of the line are hardly slumping, so if it's profitable for both, why not renew the deal ?

if you live in the USA, yes ... personally, I'm catching all of the episodes via YouTube before they get taken down ;)

sorry to harp on about this, but I still believe you're wrong. Is it this card? If so, if you read the T&Cs you'll see the APR is 22.8%. That is interest. If you don't pay off the full amount every month, you will incur interest. It is a "Credit" card afterall ... the only time credit cards don't charge interest is if you've got some sort of short term 0% deal or interest free balance transfer. It won't last forever. I really suggest you check your paperwork.

my local TRU's Lego section was full of pre-school toys and what not ... but I rather suspect this was just the forerunner to when they do a re-stock shortly with all of the new lines etc. I don't think it's anything to worry about.

This must be some kind of special promotion on the card because most credit cards don't work like that. The only way to avoid interest is to pay the whole balance off each month, by the deadline. If you just pay the minimum, then you avoid any penalties for not making payments, but you pay interest on the rest of the balance! Think about it, what would be the point of a credit card, if you just had to pay the minimum off each month. That's a free loan and no benefit to the company providing the credit. There will be some interest charged at some point. I reckon you need to check the deal on this card ;) Getting into credit card debt in these times of credit crunch is a bad bad bad idea!

I'd definitely go for one of these options ... the travel time is the same for Brighton too. I've never found any Lego in London at reasonable prices!

Great job Kim ... one tip though, some of the fig listings have the same pic shown twice ... e.g. young Anakin ... and a couple of others. I think you have the pics, so just need to correct the links in the thread :)

and the Sandcrawler (10144) ;)

I am delighted with this set ... it almost makes me want to get Town / City sets again! I've always been annoyed that in the past, when Lego has presented construction sets in the magazines, they're always seen constructing simple buildings and yet we never got them in the sets! This changes that and it's a refreshing change. Nice comments on the lift ... although I have to say, the best life I've seen came in this set from 1988!

all your questions are answered here : http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=23979 :)

with bigger pictures and front & back pics then this would certainly be better than Bricklink and very much worthwhile. If you need any help on photos, feel free to ask. Good luck! :)

Whilst I obviously can't knock your commitment, dedication and all that jazz ... but how is this any different to the existing catalog on Bricklink ? Just seems like a duplication of effort to me.

The Bricklink Catalog will do me just fine, I reckon.

I use several of these ... although you have to put instructions in every other "pocket" oftherwise it won't close due to sheer amount of stuff in the folder. You can get them with 40 "pockets" too ... and also much cheaper in the supermarket!! ;)

that seller has loads too ... but he's only sold a few because he's in Russia and doesn't accept Paypal. I don't trust Western Union as far as I can throw it.

Do we have any more news about the availability of this figure in places other than the US and Sweden yet ?

I think I prefer it with two heads, actually. Afterall, that's how the ship is meant to be, right ? Also, PLEASE learn how to spell "annoyed" :P

damn! This review has certainly helped .... helped my bank balance feel £70 lighter eventually ;) I just love the details in this set.

i noticed this set in the same store today. I was amazed at the relatively "cheap" price. When I'd see the other pics, I had assumed it would be nearer the £100 mark. Anyway ... I am tempted to get this eventually, even though I own no other Castle sets at all! Maybe the review will help me one way or another?! ;)

btw, I saw the Ashoka's fighter set in the Lego Shop in Brighton today. The price was a shade under £30 due to the new VAT charges. I noted that there was no price info in the first post :) They were also charged £9.74 for the battle packs. But that could just be the price for Lego Stores which are sometimes a little higher than other stores.

ah, I did see the S@H pics had been posted, but yes I guess this is a review in a way. So hoorah for me not breaking any rules! :D
