I would like the Penguin to be the gentlemen of crime. A quite normal, if somewhat loathsome and brutal mobster pulling political strings and futhering the manhunt for Batman. He'd make a great villain and he would fit perfectly into the Nolan universe.

Can we stop taking notice of the wiki list sets, its clearly a load of bull

I would love a spaceballs set though Spaceballs: The Lego Anyway i mentioned my idea for an invisible hand set from my first post !

I'll give it a go, Count me in!

Xela began to reach for his gun when he was suddenly thrown to the wall, breaking a nearby control panel. He slumped down on the floor, Loken was quicker however and fired. The Blaster bolt never reached the target, it just stopped frozen in mid air. "Even you must have realized that wouldn't work a second time" The cloaked figure muttered, moving their hand forward, the blaster flew out of Loken's and hit the floor nearby. The figure then took off her cloak, "YOU!" shouted Garviel in shock "How did you..." Bequin smiled back at him "Hello old freind, have you missed me." She walked over to Loken, arm raised, ignoring Xela slowly stirring behind her. Garviel was lifted in the air and began to choke. "I'm so sorry" Bequin muttered, clearly not sorry at all "The sith have great plans for me, which unfortunately you're not a part of" Suddenly a blaster bolt rushed past her head and hit a nearby control panel. turning around she dropped Loken and turned to face Xela, who was resting against a wall with Loken's blaster in his hand. "I have great plans for me" Xela retorted "which fortunately you're not a part of" and pressed the detonator. The control ship lurched as the charges exploded, Loken ran, the corridor he was in, suddenly disintegrated in a ball of flame as the charges Xela was carrying detonated. He continued to run ignoring the battle droids on fire, shooting at him and the wreckage of the corridors. The corridor exploded and Loken blacked out.

If a Home One playset is released, its plausable that endor BP's are released, because the two are "related." Home one could have the named characters in endor gear (luke, leia)and the BP can have generic endor troops. I personally don't want a Home one playset, nothing really exciting happens in the ship, apart from a briefing, and "It's a trap!"

My 2p concerning the new 09 sets: Clone battlepack: No problems with it, i actually like the walker, its like an AT-RT and i could see the Republic use it, like the rebel scout speeder Assasins battlepack: I don't know the appeal of tons of assasin droids, so i don't think it'll sell that well. However its nice to see a lot of "chromed" peices in such a small set. Vehicle is pretty meh. i'd rather have speeder bikes that the IG series ride in the clone wars cartoon. Republic attack shuttle No problems with it, i think its acttually really cool. Hydra droid bomber in prelimanary stages - i don't like it once i've seen it stickered and in the series i''ll make a better judgement on it. AAT its a bit too blocky for me its doesn't look as smooth as the original one was Vaders TIE I love it, definatly buying it

Meanwhile: "Almost done" muttered Xela as he started to arm the final charge. Loken had let him breach the door, his mining experience would be helpful, But it still didn't reassure Garviel. "FIRE IN THE HOLE" Xela shouted and ran for cover. Zeus and Mendis grabbed their blasters and waited. The door blew open, ripping a large portion of it from the hinges and down the corridor "GO GO GO" Mendis called as he began to run inside. "Mendis wait!" called Zeus, but it was too late, the battle droid counter fire came. Mendis fell down, dead. A few minutes later it was only Xela and Garviel left, Zues had died in an ambush by a few super battle droids. "there's a power core behind this door " Xela said. As they walked closer to the door it started to open and a hooded black figure walked out.

I think its just an ad for the hasbro's AT-TE not a commercial for the new series, the blaster noise is a sound the AT-TE makes.

Is it US only or open to the whole world?

On about how wrong it is that Anakin has a padawan right? Think of it like this: The jedi realise that theres a war on and jedi are being killed everyday, Its a good idea for the younglings to get experience and training in battles instead of in the temple deflecting remotes." also: Jedi Padawan – an apprentice who began serious tutelage under a single Jedi Knight or Jedi Master. Anakin is a jedi knight by the time the movie starts.

Got my A level results today, ugh, But the clone wars tomorrow!

A rebel battlepack

Over at the Legions of Gotham, Batguy1966 posted that McDs will be getting LEGO Batman sets based off of the video game starting Sept. 12. He also mentions that he has a pic, but doesn't know how to post it, so I'm very skeptical of this info, but there is a list of items included:

Try "Mechrite Red" from Games Workshop's Citadel Foundation Paint range

I've updated a previous post HERE to include pics, sorry MacK about the fig, i didn't have many sigfig parts based on your character. its the closest i could get.

I think it was this:

I don't think we should shut it down because of the lack of pics, People might not have the parts or the time to build something, i'm actually enjoying the story and its getting my non lego creative juices flowing. Besides i've started to build somethings for utapau,

It took me 3 and a bit hours to build it, although i had some problems with the technic and i had to take pictures during the build.

I'm still reviewing it, the internet broke half way through it

7674 V-19 Torrent Number of Pieces: 471 Number of Minifigs: 1 Price: £49.99 The V-19 Torrent starfighter was an assault fighter with exceptional speed and maneuverability used by the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars.It was a predecessor of the Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-wing starfighter, in terms of purpose and usage. It first appeared in the Genndy Tartakovsky�€™s Clone wars 2D series. Basics Box front: The box art shows the torrent flying above Tatooine, with the new blue and white �€œclone wars�€� style packaging, Box back: The back shows some of the features of the set including the lifting mechanism and adverts for 7679 Republic Gunship, 7675 AT-TE and the 7673 MagnaGuard starfighter Inside the box, there are 2 instruction books, a very small DSS and 9 bags that are not numbered. Bags: Instruction books Random manual shot Parts list Book one is mainly the construction of the body and one of the engines, Book 2 is the other engine and the wings. For better pics of the manual look on lego's website. Sticker sheet: A very small sticker sheet is included, which includes 2 republic insignias and a nose sticker. Minifigure One minifigure is included, a clone pilot. The whole "OMG only one minifigure in this set" and "Its not movie accurate, i hate you TLC!!!11one2" has been beaten to death, so please don't make this review turn into that and to be honest i don't care because its an awesome figure. TLC have made the effort to print the life support device onto the chest plate so props to them. He has the "clone head" like the rest of the clones have in the CW releases, there are no extra clone bits apart from a long blaster, that's not included here. Interesting/other pieces Printed piece! Rare/unusual pieces: there are 2 pistons included, as well as 2 weird looking technic pieces that serve as the landing gear during the build. which might explain why the set is quite expensive, it musn't have been cheap to manufacture them. The build It starts off relatively simple, the first 16 steps is getting the basic shape of the cockpit and the mechanism to make the middle wing move up and down. After that the next few steps are getting the landing gear/wing folding device done, it's actually the same thing so when the wings move into attack mode the landing gear retracts. This is then locked into place by the white beams that form the basic shape of the fuselage. Up to step 46 is the fuselage, as well as fitting the hydraulics. This is what it looks like when the fuselage is complete. The cockpit is not "air tight", there's is quite a big gap Top: Bottom: The final few steps of book 1 is the construction of one of the engines, here it is attatched : The yellow bar is not permanent, its used to keep the white bit at the top from moving downwards. The steps are repeated in the second book so that both engines are now in On to the wings! First one attatched, The middle one is attached now: and finally the last one: It is now finished! The pieces that are left: So, you're probably wondering, how does it enter attack mode? well can you see this bar? push that bar to the center, and pick it up, the hydraulics move the central wing downwards as well as the side wings to enter attack mode: The outer wings have flickfire missiles on them, they obviously don't work, but it increases the playability of the set. The cockpit opens in a similar way to General Grevious's starfighter released last year, using a sliding mechanism For other pics see here : http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c100/Sim...eview/?start=20 and i'll be taking other requests for pics, maybe a video of it switching between modes. Build: 7/10 very symmetrical build, the mechanism to move the wings might annoy some people. Minifigs: 5/10 1 fig in a £50 set, however it is a starfighter Design: 9/10 very accurate to the source material, Lego have really made the effort to make the movement feature work. Parts: 8/10 lots of technic, white and dark red pieces Price: 7/10 could be slightly cheaper, Playability: 6.5/10 need to buy some enemy sets to get the most of it, flick fires don't work. comments, requests, questions and criticisms welcome.

wallpaper'd i prefer the first one actually, nice and simple

Bignette -Difficult choice, finally narrowed it down to Legorevolution - The Clone Wars Battle of Mon Calamari I loved that chapter of the clone wars cartoon, and he's also made the effort to customise the clone scuba trooper instead of attatching a few flippers to its feet. The droid sub looks great as well. Vignette: Oki Wan Kenobi - The Droid General Revealed edit: no pic for NewRight - SandTomb

I was bored one day and realised how "clean" the lego rebel helmets are, so I grabbed a spare pilot luke helmet and my citidel inks and paints and weathered it, I intend to use it as a Veteran pilot's helmet. THe results are below: ^ Thats what the helmet looks like on Luke. Now just the helmet: Side view 1: Side view 2: back: Reference/Inspiration So what do you think? If you want any other pics e.g luke in his X-wing or something i'll get them done ASAP or maybe a tutorial

V-19 Torrent as soon as my camera's charged i'll review it. oh my General Grevious Starfighter came tuesday as well
