Just wait 'til Christmas comes around and you'll get visited by the Ghost of Bugs' Past!

This video has already been posted here a long time ago, so it's old. But the MythBusters thing is not! FINALLY! A Lego-related MB episode! I was scrambling my brain trying to find one to send them. Too bad it's something so obviously fake that they are testing. I mean, come on! Anyone knows that a build like this would way TONS! And it's very unlikely that anyone would go through all the trouble of building (and affording) something like that just to pull off this silly stunt! Still, watching the Busters actually put together such a big ball of bricks is great! However, seeing it all roll down a hill probably wont be so great. (Poor bricks!) Can't wait to see it, though.

Well, I wouldn't call it "the coolest thing since ever", but it sure looks pretty damn good! The original short film was already great, but this looks epic! Even the music is awesome! Thanks for providing those links. I had not seen anything from the movie before. I like the style and animation of it, even though I liked the old design of the soul stealers (the cat/spider-like one) better than the new one (the cobra-like one). It's kinda funny that this is done by the same studio as Coraline. I mean, rag dolls again? What's up with that? But what even funnier is the release date - 9.9.09. That's just awesome! Tim Burton is a twisted man. But a creatively genius one. This is definitely one of the most anticipated movies of this year for me. I hope it wont disappoint.

Unfortunately, I can't make it in person, but I'd be very happy to see my sigfig there! You can see him in my sig. It's the guy with the green arms and Harry Potter head. Would be great if you could make him just like that, but basically it could be any fig with brown generic male hair, glasses (but no facial hair), white torso (with some kind of clone trooper printing), green arms, black hands, black hips, and white legs. Also, feel free to add some white air tanks to his back as he will get a white jetpack as soon as I get a hold of the Snail Tank set. Please let me know if you need a larger picture of it, and how well you'll be able to recreate it.

Yes, thanks for reviving this, Darth Legolas! Apparently my comparison went unnoticed until now. No. I looked for this review because it's the only one of this set, and I thought I should get that comparison out there. If there wouldn't have been a review, I would've made one, but since there was, I just posted in it. Besides, you made this review before there was any reference to the "real" bomber, so there is nothing I could say against it. But now that you know, how about updating the review with a comparison like mine? Well, to be fair, most of the set is grey, and it's only dark blue at places where the real bomber has dark markings, so that's actually okay IMO. But your right about the stickers. According to the reference, the stripes on the body should have formed a kind of sunshine pattern, and the zigzaggy pattern on the wings should have been much bigger. Really? I voted below average because it looks so crappy and inaccurate. I mean, just look at that walker mode! Seriously, I am so disappointed with the design of it that I might sit down someday and mod it so heavily until it's accurate, just in order to set things right! Well, as daxflame has pointed out, Echo Base isn't a $20 set, so you can't compare them. Besides, Echo Base is more meant to be a large BP instead of a set. Anyway, looking back at the last few $20 sets, I would choose almost any one of them over this one. The only exceptions would be the AT-ST (because I don't like OT too much) and Anakin's JSF (because it has no exclusive figures and because it's yellow ). Oh well. Let's just hope they wont mess up a set this badly ever again.

I think it's obvious that he means General Madine. And yes, I do believe his hair is dark tan, just like his cloths. Though this is not such a big deal to me.

Yup, pretty much. No, I do not have a new face, thank you. Oh, wait, you meant Obi Wan! That's different. Yes, I had the impression that he is different too, but looking at your comparison, the only thing that seems to be different is that his mouth line is a little higher. Maybe there will be more such minor changes, just like there were on the Ahsoka from her starfighter.

Good point, YG-49. I think the fact that the same pic that shows the tank droid having printing also shows the clone troopers wearing a new mold of a jetpack proves that it's the more final version. Why would they make a new mold, and then not use it? Besides, it wouldn't make sense for the set to have that catapult feature if the clones wouldn't have jetpacks. Now let's stop this silly debate and get back to the topic at hand: The Pirate Tank.

Well, I must admit that this looks much better than what we have seen in the prelim pics, especially the figs. But for some reason it doesn't make me want it any more than before. It's just that I didn't like the episode(s) it is based on too much, and it is a rather irrelevant vehicle in the SW universe. But maybe when it goes on sale... On a side note: This vehicle was not in Dooku Captured! That's just something TLC made up so that they don't have to give us Jar Jar and the clones with this set.

Woah! Pics of the advent calendars already?? Cool! It's very nice to see that it will be Pirates themed this year! I'm probably gonna get this one because I really want that mermaid and shipwrecked pirate, plus I can't get enough of the new telescope piece! Would have been nice, though, if the governor would have been in this set, and I would have preferred a shark over the swordfish, but oh well. Let's just hope that it will be available in the US unlike the Castle Calendar last year.

As someone has already said, they were probably just making some test runs, teasing us in the process. Boy, I can't wait for Robo Attack to come out! That sets is just pure awesomeness! Btw, do we know the prices of these yet? Also, is anybody else bothered by the addition of yellow to the Agents color scheme? I mean, it's OK that the "A" on the vehicles is yellow, but having actual parts of the vehicle be yellow is too much IMHO. These would look so much better without the yellow. Did I mention I hate yellow? Agents 2.0 ON!

I just got my EB trooper today! It's awesome! Really, it looks excellent! Big kudos to the makers, and thanks again to KimT for the great contest! I was also rather pleasantly surprised to find that it came with one of these! I was already worried that I wouldn't have anything to display it on. The only thing that bothers me a tiny bit is that the torso seems a bit faded whereas the leg printing looks fine (it kinda clashes around the belt), but it doesn't matter. I was also surprised that the parts are glued. I was kinda hoping to occasionally use the head or the legs on other figs, but I guess it's better this way as it will remain a trophy like it's supposed to be. Now I just need to think of a way to honor it... perhaps a vignette... Again, I'm open for suggestions, so if you have some, please PM me.

Thanks for this information, Sion. October 2nd, eh? That's gonna be a long wait. Oh well, at least we'll have the DVDs, the "Decoded" episodes, and the summer Lego sets to keep us occupied. Btw, I don't think the Lok Durd episodes will be on the Commandos DVD. They will probably stick to the episode chronology, so it will be episodes 5-8 and maybe even 9. I don't think that Sidious himself will be in the episodes much. In the first one, he'll probably only appear to Bane in an hologram to give him the assignment, and in the second one, he will likely only be an hologram too, but there is a chance that he might be there in person, in which case he will probably be long gone when the Jedi arrive. Well, yeah, but this rumor has popped up several times now, so I think it's true.

You amaze us once again, Aliencat! This looks mind-blowingly good! So much detail, a very nice corruption, and a good story too! This scene has quite a lot of creepy atmosphere as Batbrick said, and it leaves you terrified! Very inspiring! Amazing job, and keep up the good work! Just one question: If the corruption has only spread over the first one and a half houses, how come that it's coming out of the windows of the fourth house (the sand green one)? Does it spread faster inside the houses? If so, why? Just curious.

You mean as opposed to having a skirt like Assajj Ventress? Yes, her skirt is rather unpractical, and I doubt that TLC will use that type of skirt ever again.

Yeah, I think it was a skirt. Btw, I have given up hope for this review to ever get finished. Based on Kanal-K1's comment at the top of this page, I believe he got cold feet about posting pics of unreleased sets. Also, he said in a different thread that he doesn't have time to do reviews anymore. Note to Kanal-K1: Next time when you miraculously get a hold of an unreleased set, please don't tease us with an unfinished review if you don't have the time to finish it.

Did it hurt?

My results: Hm... Not very evil. But isn't that kind of how Anakin started out?

Old news. And this should be in the Town forum.

I've been looking around for the footage too, but the only things that I could find are this, and this. From what I've seen, it looks pretty good! Can't wait! Also, has anyone seen ? Sorry if it's old news. Those are some pretty sweet cars, especially Sideswipe! The first part of "Human Error" was pretty good, even though I had expected it to be a bit funnier. I'm curious for part 2.

Lol. What a weird topic. Kinda reminds me of Peppermint_M's topic about living in a Lego world. Well, I guess I would like to live in the Green Grocer. Also, I definitely wouldn't mind driving a car like this:

Awesome hot dog stand, and a great scene! One question: how did you get the bicycle wheels off the bike? Every time I try to take mine off, I almost break my bike, so I end up leaving it as it is.

Yes, it's Chapter 4 of Season 1. I have provided my own voice for my character, and everyone else who was in that chapter is very welcome to provide voice-overs for their characters as well! You can PM JD about it. PS: I can really recommend everyone to provide their voice! Or do you really want squeaky-voiced JD to voice your character?

Thanks Pedro! And thanks to everyone else too of course! And I promise that once I get my prize (which could take a while ), I shall show it off in a way that is worthy of its awesomeness! I just don't know how yet. If anyone has an idea, I'm open to suggestions.

No, you read quite right. He wants it to have that feature so that he gets more for his money, and quite frankly I agree with him. It would be cool seeing it roll on its own, but I guess it's very unlikely that it will have this feature since treads don't have a lot of grip and nothing indicates that you are supposed to pull it back.
