Wow these parts are fantastic! A definite support on Cuusoo, perfectly executed. By the way I have two ideas. Since you already beat me to suggesting the transparent minifigure wouldnt it be cool to see a transparent minifigure with the new LEGO Ninjago skeloten body with no printing and the old legs INSIDE the minifigure? It would be a cool idea for a ghost but would be so hard to execure to get all the hinges correct while making each part seperate and hundreds of other problems... plus printing the skull face... Also I find that a 1x1 cylindaric plate with a clip on top would also be more decorative than the one with the square base. There are so many oppurtunitys for parts these days arent there . Also I would like to say the snot plates are my absolute favorites, especially the 2x2 with studs on both sides. To keep minimal plastic though I reccomend putting maybe a technic hole in the middle. With that piece I can only imagine how perfect it is to make SNOT space ship wings thinner... Wonderful ideas, support you all the way through!!!

O.K... So what resources should I deprive myself of this year to afford these sets? Food? Water? Shelter? The quality on the sets are blazing higher than EVER... so are the prices though. From this pic and the descriptions from FBTB I literaly almost had a heart attack. From the pic the Mollecolence is more or less of what I hoped it would be. The set isnt something I would buy and I think that Padme isnt the only new fig... I remember the box having new signs next to Ahsoka and some other figs. So yeah. I think Ahsoka is in her secret's revealed outfit. The Geonosian cannon taking up half the picture made me want to punch my computer. The red ship (I think we should just give up on trying to figure out what it's called) looks WAY better than the premilary pic. The droid's head I fear will be too big but all we can do is trust LEGO The CW star fighter looks... well like a CW starfighter. The prelim's show us a new cockpit but I dont really care for this set that much. It's only one of the... is it 7 were up to? Maybe 5 or 6th CW Jedi starfighter. The green droid look's a little... bright... The descriptions on FBTB. Im telling you the two main sets that I will consider ripping out of the market are Jabbas palace and the desert skiff. The descriptions make my brain hurt. Maybe LEGO should divide the auesomeness into smaller portions and feed them to us year by year (I know that's a horrible Idea, sarcasm people)? LoTR sets look like the new SW sets for castle fans but of course let's not talk about THAT here in the SW forums now should we? The figs in both tatooini set's descriptions look like they make up about 4o% of the set. I love the figs but the prelim picture of the actual set looks really cool. Desert skiff... yeah I think we all know why we will pull that money from our wallets... figs.

Seriously? Has TLG's designers' brains gone completely dry of imagination? We have more licenced themes than anything and it's like to them coming up with a new theme like AC (not very great in my opinion) is like going to mars for real. They even released LEGO Cuusoo this year where basically fans make the sets... maybe they should get the money . But seriously Blacktron lll has to happen soon. Hopefully this hiatus is short and is a sign TLG has been working on a great new theme *Ahem Blacktron lll* that will blow our minds. TLG's quality has been going way up (Except in price ) and kids now a days are way more moderanized and if TLG released an auesome new theme, AFOL's and kids all over the world would run into their little TRU's, run into the LEGO aeil at full speed and start touching and looking at all the boxes with their grimy hands because the internet isnt fun to use to look at a box . LEGO, do us a favor, we. Want. SPACE.

Actually I am a bit unhappy with this theme. When LEGO thinks of girls they immedietally think of girly girl pink, Bellville was no different. Its understandable that LEGO is doing this to try to attract girl fans but I know very few girls like that. They like all types of colors and these sets are making it look like a diva's dream. I do like this theme though in the fact that it has so many cool parts, like the printed 1x1 brick in the milk carton, people have used 1x1 bricked with 1x1 cheese slopes for milk cartons for a long time but with printing it will look better (lets be happy LEGO didnt make the carton pink and purple or strawberry milk ). Even the rare pink is pretty useful. LEGO is trying to attract girls but the think is, they may have to firl drag them by ofrce to the LEGO isle. They should make commercials to girls that do play with toys more, but most girls I know about dont care for toys, they like fashion more (I hope I didnt just give LEGO the next action figures theme, robot fashion dolls ).So all in all I think these sets arent great but they do have nice parts and the colors, despite their hideous appearance to my eyes, the rare colors which may have uses, these sets are worth buying if you want to use them for MOCing. If LEGO wanted a more popular girls theme, they should have learned their lessons from previous girl themes, which pretty much all of them failed. I dont hate LEGO for this, but really MOCing seems like the only use for buying these sets, in my opinion, Im not here to disprove anyone.

What figs do you guys think will be in the desert skiff? Obviously the set looks like the figs will be the main purpose so Im just hoping we get a nice little Boba Fett, Luke in jedi outfit, Lando in guard duisguise, one of the weird pig guards with printing, and Han Solo. Thats only what seems likely because thats what the figs were in the movie. Did anyone other than me take notice to the new stormie torso print? I find it odd that in the Endor battle pack set the storm trooper doesnt have leg print while the sand troopers in the droid escape set DO have leg print (with dirt). Sadly this is how LEGO like to release their sets(or better yet OUR sets since we buy them). The EU sets got me exited in the June wave. I am so happy LEGO finally decided to make a new Jabbas palace! Hopefully it will have Bousch, Buoch, bleh. Sorry cant spell it and Im not gonna go and waste 3 minutes looking for the name. The cloud car will probably have 2 bespin huards and the planet set will have Lobot right? Well the Lobot can be partially confirmed and the Bespin guards are only what seems likely. I dont feel like posting all of my opinions so maybe later... BTW whane should we expect prelim pics for the summer wave, LEGO is getting me exited.

This is beutiful! The furniture is so detailed but... the aliens room looks a bit empty like a prison... maybe a trashcan and some alien plant will fix that? I also like the head you used for the boy. it really makes him look like hese talking. The backround in the aliens room is georgeous. The back is an extra nice detail you stuck in there. A question- Is the green planet on the back Earth or the aliens planet? I think it would be weird if the rocket was flying FROM Earth to the aliens planet. And is the green star the other planet in the window? Also a small robot in thee aliens house wouldnt be bad. Maybe use LEGO's Space Police robot pooch design in different colors? And my last reccomendation would be to take out the little greeble detail in front on the base and replace that with 1x1 tiles with a printed letter on them saying the title of the viniget(Or model, MOC, WIP watever its suppost to be!). This MOC deserves a .

Wow this looks great!!! The way the wings are shaped is just art. My only complain is it looks too much like a plane... That was because that was when the theme took place (almost like a prediction of what 2002 is gonna be like) but we now all know that we never found an ice planet yet. It was also like that with Dino 2010.

I was thinking about the packaging for a while... Does anyone think that when you buy the planet set the planet will already be assembled but all the pieces will be inside the planet(after all the planets are hollow). Its may be unlikely though because the whole point of buying a construction set is for you to build it- so maybe some people might think theyre being cheated by LEGO how they dont get the pleasure of being the first to put the planet together. Plus It may be weird for employees to build a part of the set on the assembly line. But I accually find this smart to do because LEGO can save a bit of cardboard in making the box to make room for the rest of the peices. So what do you think?

Wouldnt some of the Clone Wars sets be EU? They werent ALL in the movies so that must mean theyre EU? The Clone Wars TV series takes place between episode 2 and 3 and I consider anything between, after, or before the movies to be EU. Quote from Brick Doctor- If the molded planet pieces are indeed 10-wide, they're going to be a pretty significant amount of plastic. That raises the cost. You also haven't counted the pieces for the stand, and MINI craft can be over fifty pieces.- Qoute from Brickdoctor (Appologies, Im still getting used to this site so Im still learning how to multi qoute) I forgot about that . Yeah LEGO DOES sadly charge extra sometimes for extra functions and even SIZE! I always found that annoying...

Accually I find that the minifig, mini ship, and a 2 peice planet for $10 is VERY overpriced. Minifig- 4 or 5 peices (or in Sebulbas case 1 piece)if it has a helmet/hat and a weapon(most likely gun). Mini ship- 15-20 peices about. Planet- Like 2 pieces. So in total that would be like 1 or 2 U.S. dollars going by the way LEGO prices its sets. 1 part= 10 U.S. cents 10 parts= 1 U.S. dollar 100 parts= 10 U.S. Dollars 1000 parts= 100 U.S. dollars And LEGO is charging 10 U.S. dollars for that!!! I think its nice that we get the planet (Id like to use them somehow to make a map of Star Wars planets) and minifig but thats just way too overpriced. Maybe, just MAYBE it would be worth buying if it were 5 U.S. dollars but 10? No. Not for me. This reminds me of the first Hero Factory sets. About 15 pieces per hero, for 10 (Or in my case $15 because I buy all my LEGO from TRU)! Sad LEGO, just plain sad. I always found mini vehicles to be a waste of money. The only thing about them thats good is that you can replecate movie scenes easily without having to grow 20 extra arms to carry all your UCS sets .

Wow ths series looks AMAZING so far. My favorite is the space girl but anybody else but me think it shouldve been red? I personally find pink to be a disgusting color and red is something that appeals to a girl without being super girly girl because APPARENTLY thats what LEGO always thinks about when they hear the word "girl". I cant wait to see if in the future if were gonna get a blue, and snot green, and black space minifig from here because I am losing my mind for those figs. The skater girl is nice and she goes well with series 1 skater because of their hoodies Anyone notice the stripe printing on her arms? LEGO is making a million skaters but a million skater that are good!!! The Miatoar is nice but hese not exactly super here but I gotta say LEGO is getting VERY creative during this series, series 4 may have a competitior now . The butcher is a nice edition but Im not SUPER thrilled with him but he outa be usefull someway or another. The genie is very nice, not my favorite, but very nice. People have been saying that he looks like he might be able to be attached to the lamp and I agree on that. Some are concerned he'll fall over but If you have ever stacked some 2x2 bricks on a 1x1 brick then you'll see he'll be secure. The alien is one of my favorites but really the only thing thats flatering about him is the head. The torso is O.K. Im hoping were gonna get this head in the snot green for Alien Conquest in 2012! 80's mechanic looks nioce, and if nobody believs these are made by LEGO STILL even after seeing the word LEGO on the butcher and barbarian then you should know thats the SAME hair used on super man minifig for super hero licence this year. Lepurcahn is beutiful. But shouldnt his pot be black? Its great anyway and I dont mean to critisize the photographer but the gold that the pot is attached to looks to me like it should be inside. 1 peice of gold isnt enough for me but then again I have a ton of gold 1x1 cylindar plates so that should take care of that. The barbarian is not the shining star of the series but I like his printing and the sword looks like its from series 5's gladiator guy only a bit longer, new mold? Lady libert is VERY nice. One of the shining stars of the series. If she were 90x her size then we could make the perect NYC diaroma (exuse my corny joke but Im not a comedian!) Over all- 5 stars!!! This is one of the best series. I cant wait to see the other 6 figs and what color the packet are gonna be! Keep up the good work LEGO!

I like the pod shape but your MOC is a bit inaccurate. It does resemble the vehicle we all know and love and is recognizable but some stuff in it like the connection between the wings and the hull is way too thin (Im sorry probably about 400 people already said this but of course I didnt exactly study every single detail on every single ship in Star Wars so I can only point out the most obvious of all mistakes ). Also there is no lining around the wings but you know I personally love this MOC even if its not finished(Sorry if the story is not that Im just way too lazy to read the text, I always just skip directly to the MOC ). I think you should trash the wings and turn it into maybe another ship or convert it into a pod ship with thrusters on the back(I dunno what I find so nice about those things but dang I love cute little sphere models ). I think that I might accually steal your technuiqe and take that design for myself (Just kiddin').

Well thing is, that set was VERY expensive to make by LEGO so thats why they made it cost alot, but obviously because of the price people couldnt buy it. So LEGO had tons of that set lying around, so after they discontinued it LEGO was probably relieved. But then the cost of the set on other sites went WAY up. The chance of getting this set for something less than what it is now, is VERY low. Plus anyway the price is what it is now because for the people wwho did get it find it prized and almost all of them dont want to sell theirs. So in the end it all come down to people who are willing to sell theirs is about 10% and getting it for a low price (less than $500) is nearly impossible. So thats why you get this set being sold for 1,000's of dollars. Good luck getting that set(I really mean good luck Im not mocking you)!

Hey anyone wanna bet on us getting a Jedi temple? But of course that seems unlikely. Im wondering if anyone realizes that its obvious were gonna get something to do with Episode 1 cus of the re-release of the movie in 3-D. The only thing I see to disprove this is the fact that we mustve gotten 20( ) Phantom Menace sets in 2011. But then again were probably gonna be getting Padme's ship this year. I hope im not the ONLY one who obviously half-knows that the ship has to have to be made of silver peices. If we get her ship then we should get that guy with the tan skin and red/ gold hat(I DONT CARE WHAT THE HECK HIS NAME IS), young Anakin, young Obi-Wan, Qui don, gon... Alright I give up... and maybe Padme's servant (By the way I have absolutely zero proof of these minifigs ). What I want is a new Jabbas palace with printed Jabba, that guy who has red eyes, luke in his jedi outfit, that bounty hunter Leia duisguised herself as, Han in Carbonite, and Leia in slave outfit and maybe some aliens. It should be about as big as the Hoth Echo base and Endor sheild base, thing, place, WATEVER!!!type of sets. Also a cloud city set with Lobot, Lando, Han(with carbonite), Luke, Chewbacka and Darth Vader, and and and.... alright ill say thats a bit much but hey cant blame me for dreaming. We should also get a small Death star set (not the full sphere!) With Luke, Darthy, stormtrooper, droid with new head, death star trooper and Empror palpatine.

Thanj you for that LOVELY pic of the 2011 figs jansued! I like the new red proctocal droid. It will expand the veriety in proctocal droids than just having gold, black, or white colors. The Dengar looks great- and since when was there any dought in that? We all saw him in that pic of the UCS Super Star Destroyer. Plus is it that hard to tell its him? Teh bacta tank Luke is LOVELY. A good way to get the new Luke hair. I was getting dought in the new Hoth set but this pic completely proves it. The figs are AMAZING wich tells me set set is going to be at least HALF decent. Another Taun-Tain would we great. Hoth Han- Blue again! Seriously sometimes I wonder if the people that work at the LEGO group are blind (Sorry LEGO group you guys are great but it is obviously brown). Seriously I dont get it. I can say it a tiny bit blue from a pic of Han in Hoth hood up close. Hoth Leia- She looks great. Is it just me or is her hair a new peice? Looks like one. Health Droid or watever its called- Nice to get one in this set. Hopefully the new Hoth set wont be a big set or expensive so that the price isnt huge. It feels like that rumored (Not real)cloud car set which although was fake sounded so incredible. A Boba Fett, Darth Vader, Han Solo, Luke, and Leia. This is like that . Ig-88 looks nice. Im glad they gave assasin droids a new design. ... Just wanted to let everyone know that the Asaj in that picture has her shirt a little WAY WAY WAY to low. I suppose LEGO made this right(obviously)? If theyre gonna release this to the public... Its going to be like that time when on a catalog they had an Agents cover with three of the agents together (all men). Agent Chase was alright... but the other two had the womans torso. Thats just not right LEGO, not right all.

Youd be saying different if the figs from series 4 were series 5 and series 5 figs were series 4. Ultimately people find different series to be better than others, so that sir, was just your opinion. I find series 5 to be the best. But I respect your opinion... there are some very shmexy figs in series 4.

I think that shmexy santa yoda will be about 5-10 $'s on bricklink. Seems pretty rare. Im probobly gonna get santa yoda on bricklink because I really dont see a point in getting a minifig for $40... The back pack looks great for a school student, stick a book in there and you got yourself a kid. Oky Wan Kenobi- is there really some green on that torso? honestly I took a look at it and no- there is no green aside from the hands but since minifig body parts are made seperately, lego can just slap on some white hands on the production line and ditch the yoda hands (I sort of read The Lego Book and saw how they assemble the minifig with the parts seperatly... well I sort of already knew that and you probobly did too... doesnt take a lot of brain power to figure it out...). The main reason I want the yoda is to create a MOC, I can see it already- "Santa Yoda's Sleigh Speeder". Hey that makes me wonder... Do they even CELEBRATE Christmas in the StarWars galaxy? Well no wonder seperatists were made... imagine how many wars and deaths wouldnt have happened if there was Christmas... a moment of silence...

WOW! I love this! The detail on the outside is nice (exept how the entrance is very small). Im not sure how accurate this is in size and if the insides are very accurate but to be inside the inside is nicely detailed and if it were an official LEGO set it would be a best seller. Good job! I bet Ki-Mon-Udi would look great in the room where the jedi meet (Im not exactly a StarWars know it all).

I wonder if there really IS an interior to our new super star destroyer. Its never been done before, has it? I think I heard someone say it hasnt. I dont know why LEGO would start doing it. I wouldnt be too accurate like they did with the regular star destroyer (Not UCS). Only proof I can think of that there is an interior is that- A- There are figs. (Probobly not the reason because I just recalled the UCS Millemium Falcon which had figs but I dont know If it had an interior [i know the minifigs could be put in the copit and there was the entrance/exit platform.]) B- Inside the studs are facing up as someone else mentioned (But of course aperrantly they are angled if I remember correctly.) So all-in-all, there can be no way theres an interior. I may be proved wrong but Im just saying, UCS sets arent made for playability. Theyre for collecting so I think they included minifigs like they did with the UCS Falcon. Theres the evidence I showed you, but apparently I put why the evidence is not true which I guess doesnt make it evidence, just more yes' and no's. Really Ill admit I made a pretty big deal of something thats pretty obvious but dont blame me Im always like that . Well... despite the time a huge fire broke out and was like 300 feet away from my house and what did I do? Did I call 911? No I stare there and looked out the window and said "heh heh cool a fire" and calmly drinking a cup of orange juice... but Ill save the whole story for a nother time, not that its really long.

Well then... If you think Im "Crituige" wait til you see what people like Aanchir have to say! Sometimes people talk so orderly and scientific it scares me...

So who wants to bet its $800? just kidding but seriously Id say this is about at LEAST 300 bucks for this set. I think it FABULOUS! I saw this other topic today about a MOC of the super star destroyer and im SO sorry to that guy but I love this more! . I think it has a good amount of color where it should and incredible detail. Im here wondering if LEGO just put a ton of random peices like pistols and binoculars and such instead of watching the movie and getting EVERY, SINGEL, detail right. But who cares it still looks to ausome, and NOONE, and I mean NOONE with half a brain could say they hate this set, just saying its too good for that. Im a bit surprised they put in minifigs but who am I too complain?! Bossk? NEW Dengar? NEW (maybe) IG-88? Vader? Imperial trooper? EPICNESS! These things will be flying off the shelves! May the force be with you in getting this! If you need me, Ill be getting the figs I need off Brick Link . BUT, I find one con in here, the mini star destoyer . It looks horrible! But of course much better than the last mini star destroyer .

Well Ill confess that although the mega bloks legs have a horrible color scheme I accually like the design a little, dont blame me its not bad to say that everything megablocks does is bad... just well... 90% of it . The legs have a good dinosaur feel to it like the walker is suppost to sort of fool the dinosaurs into thinking theyre one of them (I guess you call call it camo in a way). I bet you could accomplish a similar, if not nearly the same, design using LEGO brand peices. I understand your collections study limits but I congradulate you on buying the new Bionicle peices. I know its tempting seeing what other cunstuction brands make sometimes, but to be honest more than 90% of the time Im not really that tempted as for I find it to be cheating (Like that 2x2 plate with studs on top AND bottom from Best Lock [Thats too easy of a short cut for me because when building a LEGO model the challenges and few limits shregnthen imagination and construction skills, plus, what a uncreative name that company gave itself! I wont be expecting any fame from them anytime soon]). I have faced many unbelievable challenges to try to make a good MOC from limited peices. What I tend to do is tip over a huge box of LEGO (I know, I know its embarasing how I dont organize my peices like most people do, I understand the CONS of that but in some ways it helps! Im hoping to get some good shelves to organize those thousands of peices)and figure out what colors I want it to be. This may sound pretty stupid but most of my models are based on color scheme I chose for it or a small details I built and continue to add onto (Many of my greatest models are HUGE improvement and upgrades on childhood creations). My best work happens like that. Anyway I usually grab all kinds of peices that catch my eye and its all right there in front of me to pick from (only requirements are a keen eye which leaves me sitting there getting frustrated over finding a peice I couldve sworn I saw earlyer when its right in front of my knee!) So anyways using a good color scheme is critical to me. I once dicected a whole MOC just to fix some black parts that shouldve been gray. So anyway with that giant pile of imitating bricks in front of you you can see what you have and what there is to choose from. Any extra needed peices I wont find there are usually in some small canister lying around. I spend hours sometimes just to get my figs right sometimes! Only thing left to do is for me to figure out what crituiqe means .

Heh heh nice job I like these . Im normally not a huge fan of wild west stuff but this looks great! I especially love the villians. You took some classic stuff from wild west and made them into macho bad villians . The sea weed peice on Furnos armor is PURE JENIOUS. Cactidax and silver are my favorites, even though silver doesnt have a head . In fact- Cactidax looks amazing, If only he was a real set *sigh* . You used some nice peices like the snowflake for the boot blade or watever its called, as I said Im not a huge wild west fan.

Oh wow... its... its... beutiful! . In first MOC terms this goes above the scale maximum. It appears you are a master builder sir, congratulations. I love this MOC.

Strange, I thought MEGA BLOKS junk was more expensive peice wise than LEGO. I looked at some tiny Iron Man set from Mega bloks in Toys R Us once and I couldnt believe how terrible the price was for such a small set. Anyway Im gonna go into the PRO's and CON's thing because I just love that stuff . CONS- First of all you need to throw all of those MEGA BLOKs peices into the fire and use ALL LEGO parts or else I you cant really consider this to be a LEGO MOC and you would have to put this on some sort of MEGA BLOKs fan site. Second add a bit more shape to the body of the walker, its too square for me. Put the pipes some place else and then put a nice turret on top of the body would be nice with maybe some rails. A think a storage bay is in need with like backpacks and guns because if all you have are some turrets and that "dragging" device your gonna get creamed by dinosaurs out there. A good color sceme is in mind here but looking at those colors makes me sick . I completely understand how your collection is thin but im just saying what could be improved. The figs are OK but I suggest looking around the site and seeing some figs people make. Maybe customising some figs with stickers or paint- look in the Minifig Customization Forum to see some of those. The missels in front dont appeal to me and i thing some laser cannons would make the front nice. Try adding like a bumper in front because I cant say I like how plain it is there. Add some lights around it for night time scouts. Think about what the pilots would say about this right now- I think they would say, "It had to be pink... were so gonna be the laughing stock at base". Pretend your someone else reviewing this as a finalized set on youtube, think about what you would say and If its worth buying. That type of stuff helps you figure out where you need to improve. PROS- I like the dragging device in the back and it seems nice and creative and the pipes on top of the body are nice but I think It would be best to put them a bit back and put like a turret there as I said in the cons. The legs have a nice overall shape like the walker is suppost to be duiscised as a dinosaur and I bet using some LEGO BIONICLE and Hero Factory parts you can get the same shape. I have to say despite the cons and ou take a step back and look at this it has a nice shape and some creative features. I understand your restricted collection but I bet if you poke around a bit you can make anything from anything (just not MEGA BLOKs! ). I remember when LEGO had inspirational slogans like that... *sigh*
