Oh, cool! I hadn't seen that! Well, let's see... How about The Ventriloquist? It could be a Arnold Wesker minifig with a new mold for Scarface - a miniature minifig of some sort with a hole in its back and a little handle bar on the inside, so that he the ventriloquist can hold it in his hand. Also, it would be great to get the Gordon fig from the game somehow. And yes, it would be nice to get a new, cheaper set with Ivy!

How about some Batman Beyond sets? Would be cool to have the flying Batmobile and an old Bruce Wayne. Seriously though, there's only one thing I'd really like to see next year: a cheaper way of getting Harley Quinn. Yes, I know, $30 aren't a lot, but still too much just to get a fig. A Harley Quinn keychain would be great! Yes, that's the one TLG should have used! And IMO, it should be orange. It's orange in BTAS.

Well, once you tell us what kind of character you are playing, we can think of a way to integrate you into the story, OK? Personally, I would prefer it if you would join me and Simonjedi instead of Jim's group because our group could use more players.

I am a Terminator fan and watch this show too. I don't love it, though. It's better than I thought, but not as good as I want it to be. It's just that it becomes a little boring during the slower parts. I would like to see some more action and/or suspense, and possibly some more tales from the future. But yeah, acting, effects, and writing are pretty good. I agree that although Arnie surely enhances Terminator, he is not necessary for a Terminator movie/show to be good. I haven't seen the Season 2 premiere, but I recorded it and will do that soon. I'LL BE BAAACK.

Very interesting! Thanks for the links, Andrex! Alright, let's sum up the news. From what I can see, there are a couple of new characters here: Construction worker, SWAT member, lime green gangsters (Riddler grunts?), a guy in purple hat and pants and a green and white torso (Mad Hatter? ), a penguin with gun (I knew it! ). Also, we can see a lot of vehicles. Besides those that have been actual lego sets, there are many different motorbikes, a police helicopter, a van with green/purple colorscheme, a giant (mechanical) crocodile , and a black & white recolored version of the Aquaraiders sub (Bat-sub?? ). Anything I missed? Btw, here is another thought: Do we get different iterations of Batman? Besides the classic black & grey version seen on the game's cover and all screenshots & videos, there could be unlockable versions of the Bat like the dark blue comic version or the black TDK version... or maybe a whole new version we haven't seen as a minifig yet. The Wii preview sounds very interesting. I was thinking if I should get it for the Wii or rather the PS2, seeing as previous Lego titles didn't utilize the motion controls too much, but after reading this, I'm almost certain that I will get the Wii version! Also, it has a very nice pic of Clayface. Lego Batman ON!

First of all: Don't worry about the size of today's episode's MOC, Batbrick, the sheer brilliance of its design absolutely makes up for it! In fact, that tricycle-like vehicle is the most original MOC I have seen in a while! Very good job! On to the story: I, like many others, have decided to approach the strangers with food. This way I wont be seen as a thread and will have something that the strangers surely want, so they wont harm me in order not to harm the food, no matter if they're friendly or not. But unlike most of you, I voted against taking Sheckles with me. It's nice that he heard right about the "Death Bringers" coming and shared that information with me, but I don't see how an insane old man could be of much further use. Keep it up, Batbrick!

I see it all the time - when I go to the Lego Store. So, no reason to be since you can easily get it from S@H. And I don't really believe that the red army thing has anything to do with the Fighter Tank. I rather believe the statement of it becoming available around the end of the month since it was said at some point before the release of the CW sets that some of the sets will come out in October.

Hm, you're right. There will surely be a bunch of "grunts". hopefully not too many. Lol! That gives me an idea! What if you can play one of Penguin's penguins? They could be armed with guns, like in the Batcave set! That would be kinda cool!

Nice photography there, SirNadroj. The figs themselves are good too of course - some more, some less. Oh man, that fits so well to this! You should definitely put that in your sig, SirNadroj!

Yeah, those toys would have been useful back then! But only if there wasn't an "only official Lego parts"- rule. And yes, I eould like a movie scene contest very much as well.

Goddammit! How can I forget all those characters that have been released as actual minifgs?! Alright, here we go again: Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Nightwing, a policeman, Commissioner James Gordon, Bruce Wayne, Alfred, the Joker, Harley Quinn, Catwoman, Mr. Freeze, the Penguin, Killer Croc, the Riddler, Scarcrow, Two Face, Poison Ivy, Bane, the Mad Hatter, Clayface, Man-Bat, Killer Moth, and Hush. Plus some kind of scientist. I hope that's all of them. Now we know about half of the 50 playable characters in the game. I guess we'll find out about the others when the game finally comes out in 9 days. Thanks, ChewyLuke!

Really? I didn't notice that. Was it at the end? Or was it a deleted scene? From where does it fly off? However, I think it's very unlikely that they would make a set from that scene. But I could imagine it to be an episode IV set (either Mos Eisley with attacking stormies or DS hangar with some of the figs from the DS playset) or an episode V Cloud City themed set with Han, Leia, Chewie, 3PO, Lando, and maybe Lobot. I really wouldn't care, though, since I already got the last minfig-scale Falcon and am very satisfied with it. Btw, Palpy's Arrest is not a BM exclusive (whatever that may stand for - it can't be BrickMaster since BrickMaster only gives you minis with max. 1 fig), it's a TRU exclusive. Just to avoid any confusion.

Lolz. Rex, Garviel, and Oky Wan were following the trail of smoke that arose from behind a snowy mountain for a while without running into any trouble. Finally, they reached the mountain and flew over its top. On the other side, they could see the crashed core ship sticking out of the side of the mountain. It was still burning at some spots and looked even worse than before. But to Oky Wan's and Garviel's surprise it seemed deserted. There was no droid or separatist in sight. "Maybe they already got the machine out and transported it to a safe location" suggested Oky Wan. "I guess so," replied Garviel, "We did waste enough time for them to get away. Still, we might find some clues in there and maybe even your captured friend, Annix." And so they asked the pilot to drop them off next to the core ship wreck. The RGS lowered itself until it was safe for them to jump and Oky Wan, Garviel, Commander Rex, and some of the troops got out. "Circle around the area and watch out for any enemies," ordered Rex the clones in the gunchip, "We will stay in contact with you." "Yes, Sir" replied the pilot and flew off. The group entered the heavily damaged core ship. It was dark and smelled like burned metal in there, but at some places, daylight shone in from holes and cracks in the walls and ceiling. An eerie silence lied in the air. No one spoke and the only thing they heard was their own footsteps. After a while of searching through the empty corridors of the ship, they still hadn't found anything that could have helped them. Frustrated, Oky Wan siad: "Alright, I think we wont find much here. Let's return to the gunship and try to find Jim and the others. Maybe they need our help. Call them back, commander." "Yes, Sir" said Rex and called the pilot over his comlink. But he didn't recieve any answer. No matter how often he tried, the only thing returned was static. "We lost contact with the gunship, Sir" he told Garviel. "I have a bad feeling about this" said Garviel grimly. "Everyone, get out of here! Now!" They ran toward the big hole in the hull that they had come through, but before they could reach it, a large figure jumped down in front of them and cut off their way out. It was the bounty hunter Oky Wan and the others had encountered in the bunker back on Utapau. A whole bunch of droids came out from their hiding places and surrounded them. It was now obvious that they had run straight into a trap. "You ignorant fools," the bounty hunter started mocking them, "I don't know how you got out of that bunker alive, but now I have you right where I want you!" Btw, are going to let Jammiedodger join or what? If so, we should contact him about that.

Mine does too. It's some kind of re-release. I'm not too interested, though, being a PT & CW fan. Btw, have any fighter tanks been spotted in the US yet? The one on shop.starwars.com is supposed to ship in September, but it's still not in stock yet.

Oops! Yeah, I definitely have to add those. Well, I did list the cop/policeman, but I didn't count the scientist because that is more of a rumor and we don't know who exactly it is. Anyway, here is the updated list: Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Nightwing, a policeman, Commissioner James Gordon, Bruce Wayne, Alfred, the Joker, Harley Quinn, Catwoman, Mr. Freeze, the Penguin, Killer Croc, the Riddler, Two Face, Poison Ivy, Bane, the Mad Hatter, Clayface, Man-Bat, Killer Moth, and Hush. Plus some kind of scientist. That makes 24 characters with about 26 to go. Anyone else I missed?

That sounds like a plausible list of vehicles, though I can imagine that all the known LEGO Batman vehicles will be unlockable. Now, let's try to make a list of all the unlockable characters that we know to be in the game (almost) for sure: Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Nightwing, a policeman, Commissioner James Gordon, Bruce Wayne, Alfred, the Joker, Harley Quinn, Catwoman, Mr. Freeze, the Penguin, Killer Croc, the Riddler, Two Face, the Mad Hatter, Clayface, Man-Bat, Killer Moth, and Hush. That makes 21 characters with about 29 to go. Anyone I missed? I am pretty sure that you can play at least one of the generic gangsters/goons as well, and I am expecting to see Bullock, Ra's Al Ghul, and maybe a Dick Grayson, Tim Drake, or Barbara Gordon as well. But I guess we'll find out soon enough. Man, looking at all those trailers makes me quite exited about the game brings me in a batty mood.

Dude, I'm totally in! Don't worry, little Torrent, I'll give you a home... ... and then rip you apart to use your pieces for MOCs!

Oh, yes! I would like some new Podracers very much! But not in one expensive set, rather as separate, small, $15 sets, like Anie's podracer back in the day. My favorite is Mars Guo's Plug-2 Behemoth, simply because it rocks in SW: Episode 1 Racer, but that could be just due to my modifications. Just look at those statistics! Anyway, it would be an easy set to make. The engines could be simple blocks of green bricks with wings SNOTed to the sides, and some of those big Exo Force turbine pieces at the front. Hm... I might have to MOC that some day! And the thing I would like to see most in redesigns would be trans-pink or trans-purple energy couplings! No more trans-orange!

What are you talking about? I thought I answered everything for you. "I think I'll stay with MacK and Thok" said Jim "But you two go ahead and take the gunship." Oky Wan and Garviel wished the others farewell and returned to the gunship. There, Commander Rex welcomed them back. "It should be easy finding the ship," said Oky Wan, "it left a trail of smoke when it entered the atmosphere. Commander, tell the pilot to head for the source of the smoke." "Yes, Sir," replied Rex and did as he was told. Back at the freighter, Jim turned around to Adam's seat and said: "So, Adam, where is this facility exact..." But Adam was gone.

Oops! Forgot about that. Good point. Maybe we'll meet that bounty hunter who kidnapped him again, and maybe Annix will sacrifice himself to save us from an attack by the bounty hunter or something... As I said: we'll see. Well, I'm sorry to be the one to nag again, Adam, but that wasn't what we wanted to hear. What we wanted to know is where the research facility is located at that you escaped from. Besides: Another planet change?! Idk... Felucia is spelled correctly, though. "No!" said Jim determinedly. "No more detours! We have lost enough time already and we still have unfinished business here. You have a vile of the serum, right, Adam? Then it should be no problem to analyze it. Therefore, we don't need to examine the mushrooms. And about your arm: Let Oky Wan take a look at it. He specializes in robotics." The RGS landed in front of the white freighter that was guarded by Skipper and Jones. The doors slid open and the group jumped out. As they walked over to the ship, Mack asked: "So... what is your plan then?" "Well, first of all we need to check out the crash landed core ship." said Jim. "Something tells me we will find some clues there. If we don't, we will take a look at that facility Adam escaped from." They had reached the freighter and got inside. While MacK got into the cockpit and started to prepare the take-off, the others took their seats in the passenger department. After they were all set, Oky Wan suggested: "Maybe we should split up. That way we could examine both locations at once. I would volunteer to go to the core ship. What do you think?

Aye! And we should do it quick, seeing as we are nearing the climax of the story! I think the new players should be able to decide that for themselves, although introducing a whole new character might stall the story a bit. Well, technically you can always bring back an already killed-off character somehow. Just look at Marvel comic - people die and come back all the time! So, let's just concentrate on making MacK's exit "spectacular". And about vader's_son: Sounds good, but let's see what happens. Sorry, Adam, about the sarcasm thing; I posted that when I was kind of in a bad mood. Thanks for giving me plaudits. So, Adam, how about some answers - again? EDIT: Whoops! The topic has been moved! Too bad actually since it doesn't feel as much like a SW game anymore amongst all the other wargames and without the dark surroundings of the SW forum, but... I guess it belongs here. And - hey! - it's an "Important Topic" now! Great!

The DS is such a great playset that I wish they would make some kind of PT set like that. One possibility would be something I had already posted in another thread: a Geonosis Arena Battle playset with a whole bunch of minifigs like in the DS: Anakin, Obi Wan, battle-damaged Padme, Count Dooku, Poggle the Lesser, Jango & Boba Fett, Mace Windu, R2-D2, silver C-3PO, SBDs, sand-red BDs, and a bunch of other Jedi and Geonosians, plus the three beasts, whether brick-built or not! And yes, an Ep.1 Naboo Cruiser would be great, even if it's made out of bley bricks (although it would only be half as great as it would be in silver or something )!

Are you being sarcastic? Of course it's not, but I just wanted to bring the whole The-Sith-don't-know-about-all-this thing officially into the story and ask my question. And of course I am not objecting. In fact, I want you to answer my question! Also, if I may criticize you once more , I would like to ask you to not quote long posts like that. Only quote when you are referring to a certain statement or part of a post, like I did above. This way, you can keep your posts much smaller. Looking forward to your post.

Yes, it's said to loose you, MacK. But as Jim said: You'll die with glory... and grenades! Yay! Let the killing spree begin! It's actually pretty said. I have the feeling only 4-5 people are still playing this game, including me. Perhaps we should grant Jammiedodger714 early entrance into the game? "Oh, and one more thing:" Adam added, "Questionings of other CIS members have shown that Grievous and his minions seem to be the only separatists who know about all this. We don't know why, but we believe that the Droid General is keeping this organization a secret from his leader, Count Dooku." "Hm... interesting" said Jim. "I don't see why he would do that either, but that's not so important right now anyway. What we have to do now is find the machine as quick as possible!" "Yes," said Oky Wan, "but there is one more thing I would like to know. Those mutants... You said they are made of mushrooms and humans. Who are the humans they are mutating?"

Actually... No. It's the last part that bothers me. I've said it before and I'll say it again: There are no other "Darths" than Sidious and Tyranus during the Clone Wars! The Rule of Two forbids it. All the other lightsaber wielding bad guys are no Sith, just servants of Dooku with training in lightsaber fighting. You could change your post so that it says that Vargeen is such a servant, but there are two problems with that. One is that we agreed that neither Dooku or Palpatine know about this project because they would never approve of changing the past since that would mess with their master plan of bringing the Sith to power. That's why we said that Grievous is leading this project in secret. Therefore, it is out of question that Vargeen is a servant of Dooku. Besides, we (Simonjedi to be exact) already introduced such a servant (the one called Beqin). So, I would suggest that you take that part out of your post all yogether. Sorry. I actually agree with Jim about not loosing anymore time. We lost so much already. I mean, geez, each one of us almost died got healed at least once since the beginning of this chapter! But, yeah, let's stock up little quick and get to MacK's ship.
