I was talking about the Advent Calendar I should have listed it better Micro Vehicles 1 Green E1 Speeder 1 Gungan Sub 1 Royal Cruiser 1 N-1 1 Sith Infiltrator 5 AT-AT 4 Star Destroyer Exclusive Figs 1 Darth Maul - Santa ? Unknown 1 Gungan Warrior 1 Security Battle Droid 2 Super Battle Droid 4 Rebel Trooper 5 Snow Tooper That is 13 of 24 known with one Known to be an Exclusive Figure

I will let you decided What color is best? (Although it says gold electrum) it is ambiguous Thanks for the Corrections on Eeth Koth vs Agen Kolar I forget they are different

Although there are no pictures available Brickset has two sets listed not on the front page 9526 Palpatine's Arrest Figures - Emperor Palpatine, one would assume Mace Windu, Eath Koth, Sase Tinn, & Kitt Fisto (head - haha) maybe a Royal Guard in either Red or Blue or Both - Would be cool if they had the statue in his office where the hide his Light Saber and a LS Handle in GOLD & 9525 Pre Vizsla's Mandalorian Fighter Figures - Pre Vizsla Whatever happened to the listing for Felucian Fighter? Also preliminary list of figures for the SW Advent Include Darth Maul (Santa), Snow Trooper, Rebel Trooper, Super Battle Droid (Pearl DkGrey - PearlBlue would sell this set better HINT Lego Company), Security BD, & Gungan, and ONE exclusive Figure Unrevealed to the Public Mini Vehicles known Sith Infiltrator, Royal Cruiser (N-1, J-Type 327 Nebuian), Green Landspeeder (Seraph-class urban landspeeder), ISD, Gugan Sub, AT-AT

Well she is studying to be a teacher and personal reasons prevented her from graduating this past year, her child goes to the daycare I work @ and although it is not "unethical" to date her, my boss who can be slippery (Says one thing does another - which is going to end up hurting herself very badly before too long) Passive aggressive people only end up hurting themselves I don't work when her child will be there. Looked it up on the accreditation thing not a real problem HOWEVER we are playing it safe just so my future as a teacher and her future as a teacher won't be screwed over by a shady lady - lol I have OCD which means it will kill me everyday not to know what she thought about it. Imagine going to Monks house and moving a piece of furniture and preventing him from moving it back for months - he would go bonkers. Thankfully my OCD is not Bio-Chemcial but behavioral - I adapted these behaviors after I saw first hand all the illegal activities the George Bush (Mass murder) and Dick Cheney (much worse than the other guy) did while I was working at a National Level Intelligence Office. But if it was Bio-Chemical I would exploded like monk did in that one episode with the earthquake... If your curious you can find my first lego rose here

I hope so 122 days to go... I will only get silence between now and then, which sucks because it will kill me everyday I look for 4 years to find somebody worth going out with - only to have to WAIT another 4 months to do so... ARGh Funny thing is first available day is May 4th - Star Wars day...lol... and the day after is Free Comic Book day - which makes it easy to count down the days all I got to do is go to their webpage and subtract a day... I just hope I didn't over do it. What I really need is her to slam me against the door and make out with me right now I mean what would a reaction to getting something like this be? Yeah I did the basic palmtree tops don't think it would have turned out right with any of the other types of leaves or even brick built leaves thanks for the comment.

I suspect Database Corruption of some sort. I tried to DL the new TIE fighter instructions and got a big huge flow error on the pages - it went from 34 to page 43 - I hate the Number 43 (George Bush is an murderous idiot) I am betting they will be back after the local cache clears up and it cascades down - they could force it but yeah Give it time to fix itself Not everything happens instantly these days. (Despite rumors to the contrary) You can always email them to let them know it is missing...

I just bought the Treehouse - Freaking sweet - I got it for the Lego Rose Piece in red - I am a hopeless romantic like that but turns out the set is sweet for it's little touches... I was trying so hard to figure out what the pink slopes were for until i realized it is steps to get to the top... Duh I just wish they had 1x extra of each of the new flowers, and butterflies, etc. THe figure is pretty cool to she reminds me of the lady I made the B&B rose for...(Check it out over at the General discussion thread) or at my Brickshelf below The sets are pretty good I just wish the Polybags where not so hard to get ahold of. Any news as to where they can be found? They should have included the poly bags with the launch I am glad to see they are doing an Advent Calendar of them That makes 3 Advent Calendars this year SW, Friends, and City what the friend is with that... Oh well I got three copies of the SW one last year maybe they got the hint with the city one and put it on hold for a year. PARTS pack galore!

I down't own the shuttle but I do have to say the Death Star is fun just to look @, let alone play around with, the ONLY bad thing is you just get the feeling that you need to add more minifigures to it, empty chairs here, empty chairs there... But wait, Buy a few TIEs and you can stock up that sparse Death Star... That and a battle pack or two to bulk up the Storm troopers I also have a Mouse Droid on every floor, two on a few of them... The Advent made Black R2's easy to get too...(I have one on each floor as well...) Throw in a TIE pilot or two on the loading ramp it feels more complete. Now if you go with the shuttle you will just want to Deck it out Endor style which I am shocked Lego hasn't done that.

The back of a rose it has little leafie things that piece would have been perfect - I have no word and won't know for quite sometime if she likes it or not.

The final version I bumped it up two bricks to make it more centered I agree but I was running out of time before the delivery date (which is in 20 hours or so) I also wanted to beef up the back of it a bit by either adding green cheese wedges, or green frogs - neither of which I had available at the time. Unless you think TrGreen Frogs would work?

I so should change the name to "Beauty and the Base" - Yes the Plain looking non lego base is not a lego "Plate" it looks like a metal plate because it is actually a mirror turned upside down - it can be displayed mirror side up or greyenish side up. The LEGO base is plain "ugly" on purpose - it is more functional than it appears. If you look at the one picture with the glass over it you will notice it is NOT symmetrical like it should be - DRAWING the eye to it when viewed in person. This was done so that it's new owner would find the hidden compartment and the note hidden inside. (The hidden Compartment is 2 Modified 1 x 4 Bricks with Groove (Part #2653) side by side creating just enough space for a TINY scroll - the recipient is a teacher so the scroll is in the shape of an APPLE. With the note - May a piece of your life never be out of place. Also easter eggs galore A frog - AKA prince charming is used as a Thorn - he can be seen in some pictures The Glass is actually BELL shaped - Belle is the name of the female lead in Beauty and the Beast - Belle is french for Beauty. Lots of other little details but yeah thanks for the feedback it is all packed up and ready to be shipped off I raised the rose by 2x of the trclear cylinders and it looks better in the Glass The funny thing is I can't date the lady for another 4 months and a few days

So is it good odds that there will be a 30057 polybag? I am hoping for a Mini Gungan Sub... The new US Catalog says you get a free poster if you preorder the sets

I found some glass for $2.50 so here is the final version http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/muddy/Non-Star-Wars/2ndRose/dscn3890.jpg

Psst These two aren't on the front page Credit to Brickset 30056 Star Destroyer 30058 STAP

YES - The B&B Rose is on a base covered by glass - the Base is wide on purpose so that it can be encased in glass - I just haven't got the glass for it yet Also the picture is a link to my Brickshelf gallery - with more pictures. - Including early prototype - if you go up one level you can see a folder with my first lego rose I did It comes as a special gift package I am including the following text "For Belle, The rose represented a prison, Waiting for something that never will come. The petals fell like snow, a cold blanket, a cruel fate. This journey took her though the coldest depths of winter thawing into the slow warm embrace of spring. Ultimately she learned that true beauty comes from a kind heart & a warm gentle soul. As the last petal fell, Belle knew the journey was a lesson patients is it’s own reward The end of one journey is the start of another..."

I agree wait for the official pictures - I mean it isn't like we are getting an ITHORIAN instead of Zuckuss in the upcoming Jabba's Palace set I mean that would be a huge spoiler. You can wait for Toyfair to show us what is going to be in the new advent calendar and all that jazz...

http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/muddy/Non-Star-Wars/2ndRose/rose_5.jpg Lego Beauty and the Beast Rose Okay I did the above project as a gift for a friend who I have to wait before I can date (don't ask) I just would like some feedback before I give it to her Please be honest any feedback is productive Including "meah", "blah", "average" anything is valuable to me at this point Any help would do

Upcoming DK Brickmaster City Book I posted a link to the Ninjago one over in the Ninjago Forum too if you want to scaddle over there and see it...

See THIS DK BOOK PICTURE yet?

Congratulations - do you have a piece breakdown? Thanks

Just because the site updates at midnight doesn't mean that it isn't set to run the special at lets say (8-10 am?) when the phone lines open in North America I am hoping that 8096, 8128, and 8098 are all on sale tomorrow of course I would love for them all to be on sale 10% across board...and select ones 25-35% off (Limit 1 or 2 per address) I am hoping that 8098 goes down 25-35% because I really need a fourth AT-RT and my first Aayla Secura, and Cad Bane You figure I spent probably $200k in legos in my life I deserve a great deal like that heck I hope they throw in a special Lego R2-KT just for me ;-)

Maybe a flag that says page one updated on (date) or since forum is a db maybe a flag for each user to flag last time they looked at it...would be nice

To bad it is the same as the older versions. personally I would like an R3-S6 But this pretty much covers all 6 movies (E3 is skipped though) I love it I am already making more microships... I think 3x of each should be just right well except the Radiant VII and the Falcon It is perfect for kids of all ages So still no sign of the Hoth Set? When is Mace's Starfighter reaching the US?

Can somebody photoshop up a better picture of the micro-star destroyer? Thanks! Oh and did I say TLG MY Wallet Hates you! P.S. Thanks for the mistake on the 4th where you send me an extra 2 shadow arf troopers - lol ;-)
