  1. I think that's the point behind all the rant: All those benders are doing that silly dance for nothing. It was in the top three for a little while here too, but just because a lot of people went to see it doesn't mean they liked it and will watch the sequel. Well, it depends on what their definition of "Sci-Fi" is. I wouldn't mind some sci-fi. I mean, think of all the inventions that have been made over the hundred years Aang was frozen. It would only be natural for technology to advance even more in the following hundred years. Besides, it improved the Jak & Daxter series a lot to move the setting into the future. I'm sure they wont be going too far with it.
  2. Fair enough. Thanks, Svelte! Hmmm, cheap sets with an emphasis on minifigs. Like no one has ever thought of that before. But yeah, that's one of many good ideas for possible sets. That's a great idea actually! I need to try that sometime! Can't wait to see that palace! Huh. I actually think Sokka is the second most accurate out of the figs. But yeah, Zuko and Katara aren't very accurate, which goes to show how little attention TLC gave to this theme. But the Princess hair didn't exist at that point yet, so there was no better pre-existing hairpiece for them to use. Yes, but now a lot more people have warmed up to the show and watched it, so I believe it could sell much better today. No, I'm sure he has never been "Head of Anime". And as it has been said a hundred times, Avatar isn't anime, so I don't see what that has to do with anything.
  3. Hehe, yeah, when I heard about this, I immediately thought of your MOC too. If it's UCS, I imagine the design/size will be quite similar. Actually, we've seen Mace fly both a Delta 7 and an Eta-2 in the Clone Wars, however the former is quite boring:
  4. Minister Granger-Weasley, eh? And a flying SUV? A bit cheesy, but fun nonetheless! I bet it was a wedding gift from Arthur. I must say, your writing and photoshopping is getting better all the time. Good job! It's good that no one got killed, and now we finally have some clues on who the attacker is. If he/she despises squibs, I'd say they are probably purebloods. And another Dementor? Aren't they supposed to be at Azkaban? Perhaps the attackers have connections in the Ministry. If I were still in the game, I'd totally vote Malfoy. Oh, and GO CUDDLES! Hopefully you'll be able to feast again next night, possibly on a Hallowed! By the way, there is no chance of returning as a ghost, is there?
  5. Yeah, not very invisible now, is he?

    Toy Corner

    Are you sure that's not the Lego vault? I can see many very old sets on those shelves! Are the prices fair? I saw places like this in my dreams. Must be great walking into a store and being able to buy sets from decades ago...
  7. Not really. The Fusion vehicles would be taking the best aspects of two (and only two) vessels to make a new awesome ship, whereas Uglies are just random parts of various ship thrown together, hence their name. Hm, that's an interesting idea. I think you're on to something. That sounds a bit strange. If you're the one making it up, how does it still relate to SW? Sounds more like something for the Sci-Fi forum if you ask me. But yeah, I too have been suggesting a non-violence contest. The sheer irony of a non-violent Star Wars contest is great!
  8. Because if they show one set, they would show the rest too. After all, they had all the Toy Story sets and all the POP figs, not just some of them. And the Tantive isn't really a UCS set, more like an exclusive. Also keep in mind that this would probably be a relatively small UCS set, kinda like the Naboo fighter, so there would be no harm in releasing it together with the shuttle.
  9. "Fools! Your puny minds are far too inferior to comprehend my ingenious tactics!" Move AAT from I/J20 to H/I20 Turn Snail Tank from P16/17 to P/Q17 Move STAP from R13 to R15 T15 Move Assassin Bike from S13 to S15 Move STAP from T13 to T15 EDIT: Sorry, made a mistake on that one STAP.
  10. Just scored two Toy Story alien space ship promos at TRU, along with a Lunar Limo at (almost) 50% off! They had a whole bunch of the promos (they're 4$ and by the Lego section), and I'll be back for more! They also had all the Hero factory sets, Plo Koon's JSF, and some train sets.
  11. Thanks, Pi! But yeah, how are you so sure they will drop to 50%? I too am eying the HP. I almost picked it up at the TRU BOGO 50% off sale, but with the 10% TRU mark up, it would have come out as only 40% off, not to mention I'd have to buy another set at full TRU price.
  12. Well, the "cloney version" is actually not all that different from the EP.II one, so if it's system, it'll be pretty much a redo, but a UCS version would be great!
  13. So... Anyone excited for "Move"? I kinda am. This motion control thing has so much potential, but Nintendo aren't even touching it. In fact, there are barely any good games for the Wii. I'm sure Sony will do a better job, and I must say, Heroes on the Move sounds great! I hope they don't screw that one up as it's Jak's PS3 debut. Oh, and if you like Mass Effect, check this out!
  14. Well, you two might not get some of the jokes, but I don't think it'll affect the gameplay. By the way, I just saw this old article on game informer: Not much new except the fact that you can do lightsaber combos and steal enemy ships, which is pretty cool IMO.
  15. "Retreat! Retreat!" Move AAT from J/K20 to I/J20 Move Snail Tank from P17/18 to P16/17 Move STAP from R11 (to S12) to R13 Move Assassin Bike from S11 to S13 Move STAP from T11 to T13
  16. Could someone please pick some up for me too? I'd be interested in one or two Woody promos and three or four Buzz ones. I have some horses, Western figs, and other stuff to trade for them. Just shoot me a PM to let me know what you want.
  17. You mean these? They're not really what I had in mind though. I was thinking more of something like this: Another idea I had was a Fusion Contest. Fuse two different SW vehicles into one. Kinda like the MOC below seems to be a combination of an X-Wing and a TIE Interceptor: Or we could have an Ugly contest. It has been done before, but not on EB, I think.
  18. It seems you're confused, my redcoated friend. It's not that we don't have common sense, we just think outside the box. But you do have a point; the message in this comic is a bit unclear, which would be my main criticism. I bet that's what your girlfriend said. But I agree, the redcoat-humiliating possibilities weren't even nearly explored in this! I'm sure you could have come with at least one more play on words.
  19. Very nice entry, Greenskull! Sorry for the late reply. I'm loving the smooth floor with the brick-built arrows on it, and all the nice greebs! And in case you didn't notice, I just posted my fourth entry, the Main Bridge! I tried to make it as accurate as possible while still staying within the limits of the community build. The roof however is just an added bonus which I didn't pay too much attention to. As you can see, the walkway in the middle can be taken out for easier play inside the trenches. Beat that, Destroydacre and legorevolution! What do you think? Hmm?
  20. Well, as it has been said before, since the series is over and the movie isn't doing so good, it's very unlikely. Plus I think they lost the Nick license to MegaBloks, so the only way I could see Lego Avatar returning is by reclaiming the license and making sets for the upcoming spin-off, The Legend of Kora. But again, very unlikely. And please don't call me Sokka for being such a pessimist, but I don't think there are enough ATLA fans on EB to achieve anything with this petition, not to mention the fact that petitions like these are a dime a dozen and usually have no effect, no matter how many sign it. That said, I would totally like some more sets and will sign this petition! PS: Nice make-shift Avatar figs. I too used the Tamina hair on my Katara fig. It's pretty much perfect for her! I recommend getting the official ones though; they're not too expensive on bricklink (except Zuko ).
  21. Main Bridge High up on top of the right tower of the Venator there is the main bridge of the ship. On the roof it has scanners and other devices. The top can be lifted up to look inside: Jedi generals Koon and Kenobi are discussing war matters while watching the situation outside. The admiral approaches them to report the latest updates on the current battle. Meanwhile pilots check the ship's systems and troopers are standing guard in the back of the room. Down in the trenches, clones work relentlessly to keep things running. Click here to see the minifigs I created for this MOC. The Admiral's design is based on that of Wullf Yularen. You can find more pics in this Brickshelf folder.
  22. Hehe, yeah, we could choose a strange starwarsy part that is somewhat common, like an SBD body or a TIE canopy. Also a funny idea: A "What Not To Do With a Lightsaber" vignette contest.
  23. We may be eating those strange things, but everyone knows that when we barf that stuff out, Redcoats will eat up that barf immediately! By the way, the fourteenth is nearing its end. Wasn't there gonna be a voting thread by now? Or did you pea-brained redcoats forget?
  24. Thanks for the comments everyone. Glad you liked it. Oh, you better believe that's you! You're just yellow because you're deep fried! One scared old Redcoat by now probably. The Blue Avenger hasn't found him yet unfortunately, but he'll find him... eventually. Perhaps I should make my next comic about that. Typical Redcoat... Can't even spell "unacceptable". Perhaps you're right, but then again, you Redcoats deserve it! Honestly though, I don't mind the Chinese plastic. The only difference I can see is that of the color, and I don't even notice it unless I hold it next to a regular torso. Toy Story has mostly minifigs from China, and they are great figs IMO. And thanks to the Chinese Redcoats having ended up in the random minifig parts bin at the Lego Store (Don't know why they didn't get thrown away like they are supposed to ) I was able to acquire a small army of Redcoats (for torturing purposes of course).
  25. Our prayers have been heard! There now is a Yoda one! Good, yes? Hmmmmmmm? Edit: Dammit! How do you embed youtube vids on the new EB?
