Yes I have to agree. M. Schumacher for example went from Renault to Ferrari in '96(?) because of the money (20 mln Euro/season iirc). Ferrari at that time was really a crappy team, anything but able to win. Everybody thought "WTF?! Renault is a winning team!" but Schu managed the turn around. I think Alonso could do that as well! Maybe Williams one day? ;-) It's clear that you cheer for your own countries driver, who doesn't do that? Btw. when had Spain it's last F1 champ? Or is he the first? Alonso made a mistake when he fell out with McLaren very fast, so his team didn't support him like it supported Hamilton. The same thing nearly cost him his last title when Renault thought "why support him now, he's leaving anyway". He needs a little more sensitivity, but he is a great driver! I'm sure that we will see great battles in the next season with Alonso, Hamilton, R

Nice pictures!! Personally I hope that I won't see much snow this winter. I liked it as a kid but if you have to drive 50km/day you start to hate it! written, or... ? :-D

I'm not that much interested in the F1, but I followed some races this season. I have to admit that they aren't that boring anymore! :-P My favorite team has to be BMW (I drive them since I got the drivers licence, so... :-D). Favorite drivers include Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. I really like the story I read a year ago about Ron Dennis and Lewis when he was 11 resp. 12. He wanted to join McLaren but Ron told him that he had to win the karting championship of his age group first and then come back. Of course he won, and Ron signed him very early. That really imoressed me. I think that there are a lot of titles for him waiting. He is not only a highly talented driver, he is also very likeable. I'm excited to see the night race in Singapore next year.

oh yes, definately nice *y* this is my fave too! Saw it a few days ago in black here. among older film/tv cars I always loved the pickup from "The Fall Guy".

SirNadroj I really like the idea and your vig. I had something similar in mind... ;-) grr Doug Also a very nive vig. I like the shark, the head looks pretty cool! *y*

hmm, maybe in the financial district, or in the mayors garden? :-D

nooo, that's what I also wanted to show!! X-O Nice entries by Luxor and Yoda as well! *y*

lol, I really like how the laser is fueled. By coal! *y*

OK cool thanks. Then let's bend the rules! yay! :-)

Is the vig also limited in height? I have at least 3 ideas in mind and I really should start to enter some contests here. :-D (I hope I have the time).

I have the same feeling about the Shadow Tropper. He really does not fit into this BP but I will buy that pack a multiple times no matter if a Tie Pilot or a Shadow Trooper will be included. Every Minifig is welcome! *y* Tantive IV? I see the RC in front of me (and always want to mod it into a blockade runner) but I hope for another T4 in the next years... Minifig version... :-)

Does it make any sense to get the Jedi Starfighter only because of the awesome new Ani hairpiece? :-D (Oh and I still think that the Rebel helmets have black visors instead of black paint)

*y* Very stunning moc! The whole moc really feels like Mexico and I really love the details. The part I like best are easily the white pants that have been hung out to dry. :-D

One set? Just one set? One?? ONE? Wow, thats pretty difficult to tell... I would already have problems to name just one set from every theme for a specific year... Well the obvious choice would of course be the new MF: Sheer amount of parts, choice of parts, some figs, blabla, etc... BUT my vote would be the good old 6357 Stunt 'Copter N' Truck. *y* (oh and I'm mostly into Space and Castle things).

Definetly an Orc! Enough said! :-P Don't you recognize an Orc when you see one?

This is an outstanding moc. I really like it! *y* The car is very beautiful, it could easily compete with the new Indiana Jones Desert Race cars...

I bought and built it yesterday. No missing or wrong parts, no dreaded sticker sheet, some printed parts and the booklets came in great shape! *y* I absolutely love this set! *wub* The color scheme is great and the build was anything but annoying or repetitive. Five nice minifigs included, only the bley light saber hilts are a letdown - but I got plenty of chromes spare. It's also a great parts pack, but I honestly dislike the front. It looks a bit like an autobus, but I think it might grow on me (space trucking on). Maybe I'll get some spare parts and mod it into a Tantive IV... :-D As a fan of the OT I have to admit that this is easily the best SW set this year, maybe the best since the rereleased MF (Not regarding the UCS sets)! I also bought the 10178 yesterday - so I might change my mind when I have built this one... :-D

I fortunately had no wrong or missing parts with the 7665. The only wrong part I ever had was a black 3x1 wedge in the Sith Inflitrator box. I had 3x left and only 1x right...

Wow impressive! That must be an army! I only bought the Crossbow Attack, The Final Joust and The Prison Carriage... once! :-D (But I do own every set from 1984 Black Falcons until 1992(3?) Wolfpacks *y*) I'll definatly get the sentry guard a couple of times, as well as I might buy the Skeleton Ship and Wizard Tower when they are for sale. Also have the dwarf mining and the Troll attack / siege cart on my list.

That is a good point! I still think it could be a real visor because it has about the same size. Well let's wait and see! We know more in a few months... :)

Well yes, never say never, but to me they do look like the black visors we first got with Blacktron-1... *y*

Wait, let me guess: the blonde Juno? :-D

I liked to listen to their record with the song "Homesick at spacecamp" a few years ago. The music sounds kinda repetetive to me now, so I don't care about them much. There are a lot of better bands out there (even in this genre).

I really love the 'Mercedes-star' neat idea *y*

lol, I thought that as well. I already wanted to ask if it's really water or just some kind of gel or soap. :-D hmm, you might try this.
