  1. Lets hope they get to the UK sharpish!! Out of interest if you browse the images on the US site, and find the box shots, they are all without peice counts....come on Lego you have taken the piccies for us Europeans, release the sets :-D
  2. It is for real....I have seen it in the catalogue a while back while inquiring about the new SW sets, the bods at my local Lego store let me flick through it. Dave
  3. There were a couple of exo force sets on brickshelf earlier on so it looks like they are around...lets hope we get at least one SW set..any one..would be nice if the B Wing came out early :oD Dave
  4. Lo This may of been covered elsewhere, apologies if it has. Do our regular news posters know if any of the new SW sets will be out in time for Santa to bring? I know January is a slated release date but I did wonder if one set would slip out early in time for chrimble, its a shame if Lego did hold em back until Jan. All the best Dave
  5. Lo all Over the last few months I have been out and about with my 2 yr old, we tend to visit a lot of toy shops :$ I cant help but notice the amount of torn, half destroyed and messed up Lego boxes that contain the LULS minifigs. Birmingham today, the Entertainer...there was a Clone Turbo Tank sitting out on the floor on its side, I turn it over and both minifigs are gone. Two more sets on the shelves were the same. I visited Beatties the other week, there was the TIE fighter, no figures..just a gaping hole. I have seen hoodless Obi Wans, weapon less Mace's, no headgear on Luminara. So obviously someones nicking them..duh..but the sets still on display, still up for grabs. The shop cant send em back for extra figs (or can they) and if you contact customer service with the "oh... my box was ripped send me a Light up Mace please as it was missing" you may or may not get a result. What im trying to say is does Lego actually look at the boxes they are putting out on the shelves and think that the mini figs are safe? You would buy the Turbo tank for Mace, other sets for the light up figure but they seem easy picking for anyone really. Anyone else noticed this on their travels?? All the best Dave ...move this if its in the wrong forum, didnt know where to post :'(
  6. Lo Popped into town today, a few toyshops are stocking a Lego city super pack, just the fire theme. You get the station, large fire engine..the one with the boat on the back, chopper and small truck..for
  7. Thanks Sam I wonder if the TIE will come with a stand or another chap apart from the basic TIE pilot. The A Wing looks great, my favourite to be honest. Slave 1 looks a lot more sturdy and bulky to me, some good detail too. I'm not a big fan of the B Wing but do like the design they have used, shame there are no close ups of the figs. Overall an impressive selection *satis* Dave
  8. I have bought from him a few times, the quality of the gear he produces is stunning. If i had the money then it would definately be on...don't think the wife would like it mind :'(
  9. Looked at the site, looks very good to be honest. Wonder if we will get a first person view from the ships or just a third person? I personally like seeing the inside of the cockpit... :$ Dave
  10. I would say from that pic the mini figs helmet, of which much talk on FBTB is about, is pretty much the same as the original version, full face grey with the printing on it. Even when the full pic is up it may be hard to see the little chap anyway..the light is reflecting off the canopy but he does look like hes lying down...one thing for sure is he will be peach :( I like what i am seeing though, it does look nice and smooth...can see a few of these being bought. All the best Dave
  11. There were a load of chaps there when i went in, all with digi cameras and picking up nearly everything they could see, one walked off with a death star, UCS y wing and a stack load of ROTS sets....nobody from these forums on a visit was it :oD
  12. Lo all After another trip out with my 2 yr old i thought i would let you all know whats in stock if any here happen to pop in to the store. All the Viking sets are in, nearly bought some too but instead i had to get the Duplo Airport! Death Star is in, all the ROTS sets including the Clone Turbo Tank, as is the new Dino Line which looks quite good to be honest, the Humvee model is very nice. I enquired about the new Star Wars line, A wing etc, to my amazement the chap said they would probably be in soon after he had checked his stock sheet...so we may see them earlier than expected?? (but dont count on that, they have said that to me before and it still took ages to get hold of the sets) All the best Dave
  13. Lo all Another trip into brum today, my 2 yr old likes going on the train! Anywho i popped into the lego shop, a few items on sale. Firstly they have a lot of 10021, Uss Constellation @
  14. Yep..good deal. When i got mine from TRU about a month ago it was
  15. The same deal in the midlands, well in Burton anyway :-D They had a stack load of mini's too the other day, all for a quid. TK Maxx has been a bit disappointing lately, no star wars stuff..lots of NBA boxes and an occasional Mars Rover. Dave
  16. Stunning..all i can say. more from him...incredible work
  17. It could be the red helmet as seen in the T16 sky hopper...looks a bit like that..ish.. as it seems to come down on the sides and sort of has a bump in the middle..squint and you will see it :oD
  18. Lo Nice B Wing...dunno if i will get it as i have the original one....wonder if it will come with a control centre or other engineer bloke?? As i said its nice, the ship looks good...apart from the cockpit which in my opinion looks a bit pants but the pilot interests me a lot and is that a missile launcher i spy in the shot too?? Lets hope that we get piccies of the other sets soon ish...my wallet wont like these at all *wacko* All the best Dave
  19. Lo all Just a quick post about whats in at the birmingham store. The new Sandcrawler is available on the shelves...thought that was a S@H exclusive..anyway its there. They have a sale on, not much of interest to me but a few Knights Kindgdom stuff is up for grabs, plus a few creator sets, lots of other stuff too..sorry i didnt get chance to see them all as i was in and out quick ish. Also down the road a bit at the entertainer there is a Star Wars sale on...all mini sets from 2 quid to 4 quid..they were putting out some x wings too in the sale isle but wouldnt tell me how much they were as they had not yet decided on the price..so worth a lookeh. I met Mark Webber too, the F1 driver..he was having a wee in the loos by debenhams, doing some promotional stuff at a jewellers..nice chap :oD All the best Dave
  20. Lo all Im more of a collector than a MOC'er, but i fancied another droid to go with my sandcrawler. LIN-V8K is his name, from the jawa auction scene...go easy on me..first real attempt at this to be honest. All the best Dave
  21. Lo all Popped into TRU at derby the other day, they have loads of Tusken raider encounter at
  22. Great film, enjoyed it a lot...could've done with a bit more Kashykk fighting but overall an entertaining romp. The music score was a little bit subdued to me but that did not retract from what is the best of the prequels. For those that are swaying in their judgement of seeing it..i say..go, well worth it..except for the bloke next to me munching his way through a large box of popcorn :oD By the way i saw a 13.15 showing in the uk today..only 20 people in the cinema..and the annoying one had to sit by me *wacko* Dave
