Darth Nihilus

I just ran to Meijer because of this review, but every single SW set was gone. They had places marked for them, prices and all, but the SW shelves were empty. I love the Death Star Trooper's alternate face, it could also be used as an AT-ST driver face.

"Come now Aberforth, you're old enough, you can't be scared of a silly thing like-" Dak feels, in his mind, a sudden emptyness where there once was his knack for reading emotions and thoughts. The world seems empty now, as if there is no life left. Determined not to show the loss of his power, Dak continues his sentence. "-that. Come on, old man, you've got the torch, you need to be up front so Tarn can see. I'll come up there with you if you're scared."

"Not anymore I'm not." Dak replied to the thought without thinking about it. Realizing his mistake, he apologizes. "Sorry about that. I can hear thoughts if the person is thinking about me. Aberforth, if it's growling, it's heard us already. Best thing to do is try to look as intimidating as possible. We might be able to scare it off."

You mean like EXO-FORCE? That sold pretty well; and with all the remakes these days (Alpha Team/Agents, Johnny Thunder/PQ, Dino Island/Dino, etc.) I could see it happening. I would, of course, buy every set in the line, especially if they redid the original figures without the Anime eyes.

"Long enough for you to get your a$$ moving, grandpa."

Oh please. Like no one used Atramor's head for IJ before the license happened.

Very nice work, CTS and Grenade! CTS, I like your Gree, but where did you get reference that Gree has stubble? Grenade, as always, your work is great; but where is BloodRed 1?

That's why I need the new Rebel Trooper BP, for that stubble/smirk head! It'll make him look older, too.

"Alright, break it up. Last thing we need is for any of us to get nonprofessional with this. That friendship stuff is best left at the Hall. We're on a Quest here, act like it." Dak's senses go into overdrive, telling him that there is danger near. Like he didn't know that before. Luckily, the surge of adrenaline gives him confidence. As they walk to investigate the noise, Dak pulls a Venom out of the pouch on his belt and applies the contents to his dagger.

I doubt it; her and Savage aren't quite on good terms at the moment.

Well, I'm really hoping for Order 66 in the show; it will give the episodes the darker, sadder tone of RotS. Another thing I would like to see is the remainder of the Ventress story; the explanation of her being MIA in the comics just wasn't enough for me.

"Onward! We shall investigate the source of the noise!"

Of course it isn't! It's Darth Eric Nihilus, of course!

Well, the Battle of Naboo SW set did have 12 minifigs for $25.... I think that that would be a more realistic price for the charge of the Rohirem.

Eh, Windu will probably duel Opress or something like that. Also, Mr. Filoni did say that they are going to go into Order 66..... Seems like that would be the best time to kill off Ahsoka and possibly Rex.

Sorry to burst you guys' bubbles, but Katie is being very firm that when and if she gets a Eurobricks account, her Heroica character will be a female Barbarian with a Final Fantasy influence. Apparently Peppermint_M inspired her. She is in our LEGO room right now, looking for the parts she needs, besides the Samurai X head that we'll be getting when we go to Target Saturday on our trip to her hometown.

I believe it stands for the batch the trooper was cloned in. In this case, this trooper would be the 9771st clone of the 22nd batch. I do love this MOC, but how did you join the 457th? Did you get an invite? As far as I know, no one can join without an invitation.

Really? I actually liked the Dino Attack sets very much. They brought many rare colors into relatively cheap sets (Tan, Dark Red, Lime Green, etc.), and though the Dinos were quite whimsical in design, they work quite well as mythical monsters, dragons and the like.

Lucky. My Meijer had everything but SW. I did end up picking up a Finn McMissile, though, so that is an upside.

Razor is generic enough that I don't mind having more than one. Echo has a distinct 'look' about him that makes the chance of having him as a generic trooper in an army obsolete. I would actually much prefer an RFPP in this case, since it wouldn't appear we could get Phase I Echo or Fives any other way. A Trident Assault Craft could be another possibility for Echo and Fives in Phase I gear to come in, and I would definitely buy many of those, if only for the Aqua droids.

Katie's standing right behind me (She does that a lot, yes), so I'll dictate this in dialogue form! Eric: Embarassing backstory time! Katie: Wha-? Eric: Okay, back when we were 14 and RotS was just out in theaters, I took her as a first date. It must have been a really bad time, though, because she cried into my shoulder almost the whole movie. Katie: The music in that movie was really sad! Besides, I was having issues! I had just broken up with my first boyfriend, for crying out loud! Eric: Still, you did. ... (Long silence) Eric: Okay, this conversation might have gotten a little bit off-topic. Katie: You think?

Of course I can! Katie has already been planning a few things with Dak, refining his charcter a bit. Quest #13 definitely was hard on him, and the strain is beginning to rub through into his normal mannerisms. He's going to start getting angry a lot more easily, and his psychic powers are going to get a bit more powerful, leading up to his (eventual) change into a Black Knight when he reaches Level 15. Guts' attitude is definitely starting to get on his nerves, as is the fact that he doesn't have any 'guiding voice' in his life anymore. Eventually (Katie says it won't start until I get him to Level 15) Dak will break down, and become the very thing he was trying to destroy; an uncaring creature, unable to feel emotion, unable to feel empathy. In other words, the perfect villain put in a Hero's body. Katie must be a lot smarter than me. My brain is having a meltdown with all this roleplay she's planning.

A voice in the sky reminds Gilderoy that Dak is out Questing currently.

"Alright alright already. Bossy." Dak leads the party down the left path.

Yes, but the ARC Trooper torso has to have extra armor printing, thus eliminating the chance that the ARC Trooper Echo torso could be reused for a Phase I trooper.
