  1. Rogue Shadow. Not kidding. I love that ship, I need to buy it badly. That'll add quite a few interesting figures to my collection, including Snowtroopers to face and AT-ST's to bash and AT-AT's to down... oh what a day.
  2. It is a 2-year old set which has just been re-released for no known reason. It is a very special set... it can be changed into one of two fighters (Luke's and some other guy's). As you said it also comes with loads of the main character figs. In 2006 many "Battle of Yavin" sets were released, such as a minifig-scale Star Destroyer, an A-Wing and B-Wing, as well as a Tie Interceptor. However, the X-Wing was included that year as a special edition. The previous year came with a Tie Fighter including a very special LUL Darth Vader with a Tie Pilot... could be great to add opposition if you're willing to Bricklink it. As well, the Tie Collection would add a great chunk of Imperial Fighters to your collection, including Vader's Tie Advanced as a leader for the Imperials (while Luke could be a hero for the Rebels). As well, it sold out almost instantly from what I here... it was an instant hit. Their only reason for re-releasing it would probably be to add Original Trilogy sets to the mix (as well as the hoth base). After all, they've got to advertise SOMETHING.
  3. Pretty cool, I like the use of Nuva Masks, Armour and Rahkshi parts. They do looks like Visorak Mutations and that's pretty cool. My only problem is that... they're all blue. Blue's a good colour but last time I got mutated by Visorak I turned more than just blue. Unless it was due to a low amount of other colours, in which you couldn't help, you should add different colours to show that they're really, REALLY mutated badly. Good luck in the contest mate, because otherwise everything looks just great.
  4. Anyone know the game Overlord? It was released for the Xbox 360, PS3 and Computer. It was a Sleeper Hit last june. It's a short but kind of fun game with bad multiplayer and a reasonable storyline, but the main reason I really like it is due to the awesome cartoony visuals. It's "T" meaning its a little less violent then most other games, but it doesn't make it any less grim or really that kiddy. Here are some pictures: http://www.releaseinfo.net/ri/cover/new_ve...50-overlord.jpg Minions running from a Dwarf and a Stone Golem Thing. http://img.sector.sk/files/recenzie/200774...15-18-18-28.jpg Slaughtering a clan of evil. http://www.wonderwallweb.com/Overlord_Mois...s_Serpent01.jpg The moist hollows, guarded by a giant serpent. http://www.vgblogger.com/wp-content/upload...RH_pumpkins.jpg Posessed giant pumpkins from hell. http://benchmarkreviews.com/images/reviews...1-11-10-12S.jpg Farmer Bob, an NPC you encuonter and can choose to either kill or spare. http://i.cdn.play.tm/s/12206/p/s.jpg Townsperson being chased by the guards, who are being chased by a single armoured minion. http://www.thegamereviews.com/images/uploa...19092758435.jpg The mystic and haunting Evernight, guarded by a Forest Troll. http://media.herald-dispatch.com/blog/game...lord-748454.jpg Looks like the minions are occupied... Anyone heard of this game? It's got a slightly weak story but it's still really fun. I was wondering if anyone's seen or made any MOC's based off of this.
  5. Spielberg, I like. Lucas... it's murky. But LucasFilms and Universal... I love. You have good points here, the Indy approach on Jurrasic Park would work. Everyone loves giant dinosaurs, and most normal people like Jurassic Park. Or at least my big mouth says.
  6. Sometimes, big words aren't neccesary. You don't always have to use your proper grammer and have your hair rolled up in a bun, you just can't let loose with 8-year-old MSN stuff like the new members. For an example... this sentence. No offence, but I couldn't read up to "you posts have become much darker and sinister, Bonaparte..." without having to stop to laugh. Just talk like you're friends and not on for a job interview. But don't try to sneak in a lol or an rofl because... seriously. We're all grown up by now I hope. Besides, people make more typos when there are bigger words, like "intentions".
  7. I'm so happy I could... well, I could JUMP ROPE WITH YOUR INTESTINES!!! Sorry about that. Pretty funny Maiq, looks like Vezon had a good if not dangerous vacation.
  8. Finally a review of this, thanks! 120 bucks? This tank looks tiny and though it's amazingly detailed it should have been smaller and only 40/50 bucks at most. It just doesn't play that big a part man. Good pieces and mechanisms but no one's going to both buying a 120 buck tank, no offence, not unless it it's the AT-TE.
  9. Sorry bout the name. I'd contact the guy but remember... it could be a misguided person. They don't understand that MOC's don't exactly sell.
  10. I have faith in Jurassic Park, not in the new Mummy-Excuse-For-A-Movie. I actually enjoyed Jurassic Park III, the first was of course class and the second wasn't as good as the others. Something deep inside me loves to see Dennis Nedry being mauled by a dinosaur. So in that case... Just to celebrate.
  11. Might hold out from buying LEGO this year just for that, I might buy the Rogue Shadow but if anything that'll be it. Depends on people's reviews on the game (on whether or not I buy it as well). And Klaus I agree with the OT. They should have equal availability. If you want, however, 2006 on Bricklink isn't cheap but isn't astronomically expensive yet. That year they had 6 major OT sets and only 1 PT set, as well as 2 OT UCS Models (which were fantastic). 2005 might be good too, you should think about the Sandcrawler maybe if you want (it's for sale on Shop@Home).
  12. Oblivion take you maiq, I think you've made your point.
  13. Whichever one I find first... this or the Droid Gunship... I'm getting right there and then. 39.99 is a lot of money but if I've got it, I'm willing to spend it. The Homing Spider Droid looks very good, again thanks for the review! And the gunship will give air support. Plus, they'll have a hero... Asajj Ventress... to support them. That's 4 battle droids, 1 super battle droid and Asajj Ventress, plus the AAT and Droid BP for next year will add lots more troops. The clones will have the LAAT, the Republic Fighter Tank, and the Shuttle next year. Might skip the battle pack, depending. That's a lot of clones including 2 commanders, loads and loads of Jedi, and a fitting ending to my love for Lego. Sorry bout that. I love Commander Fox though, he's pretty cool with the red armour. I think Cody's okay, as is Rex. But they both have bright colours, not the dark red Fox has. You know how cool it would be to have a Female Clone Commander? Yeah, that cool.
  14. Very cool. Look at it this way... if Wal-Mart's under par again with pricing or the sets in particular... go complain to them than Target RIGHT ACROSS the street has better prices. You can go ahead and lie, too. It's not like they'll remember your face, you being one of a zillion customers.
  15. We usually get our US Target exclusives by... sprinting across the border.
  16. A really cool set, I think the reason I didn't much like the Gunship in the movies/new cartoon was because of the bulkiness/low swooshability. I'm sure somehow I'll be able to swoosh it around but who knows? If you have trouble swooshing it I'm sure something'll come up for me. In the movie it doesn't really fly that fast, it's more of a hovering sort of machine. It rises up and down but doesn't streamline its way forward- it slams forward! I might as well buy it and see for myself. Besides, Asajj isn't THAT dumpy for a pure white-skinned alien. You ought to see some others mate...
  17. Thanks for the review! This looks like an interesting set and your review covered everything. However, I STILL think the Droid Gunship is a much cooler looking ship and a more satisfying build.
  18. Yeah, but LEGO can somehow manage to add a couple in there for playability... Thanks Ahsoka, you're a big help.
  19. 5. Looks very cool, mid 90's was an okay year for LEGO and that plane's just snazzy. Plus, the No Smoking sign seems to be a funny sticker. Do you make stories for the characters or something? You mentioned liking the green shirt guy in particular.
  20. Great idea! The Quad is good, the Sprinter is better. Why? First of all, the Quad doesn't work with the other Coast Guard/World City sets. While the main base (which I got and actually enjoyed very much) was grey, this quad is bley. I tried and it just doesn't look good. Secondly, considering that Dino Attack is a sort of overrated theme despite having big-megablocks dinosaurs romping around and killing things... and Coast Guard is a sort of underrated theme despite being stuck in LEGO's lamest year... well problems with Dino Attack aside, Dinosaurs win over Life Jackets. So I'm in for the Sprinter.
  21. Flashbacks: / Complicated Explanations: Narm:
  22. Bungie Jumper- you jump off the bridge with safety in case what they're doing is pretty lame... while they fall into the water and off the white rapids you laugh at them and yet again mock this price. JimButcher, calm down. Ragnorak, calm down. We can forget all about the story and continue to post like normal gentlemen now shall we?
  23. Thanks Mads Nipper ( ), I'm probably one of the least affected here so I won't go on and complain without reason (while Europians have all reason to). However, I still don't understand why American Prices and Canadian Prices are different. It's not by much but it's still seriously annoying... just because we have 10 times less the number of people in America. Sure, prices are cheaper when you live in a cash cow. Makes sense for Canada, having <100 Million, but if Europe's suffering with 100 million more people than America... that's a problem that just doesn't make sense. In America, it's 19.99. In Canada, 29.99. Not for any other product! We're at PAR guys. Nearly exactly on par. If Lego's suffering with money it's news to me that they can't keep it real. 10 bucks more for what? I want an answer, even if I'm not mad, just annoyed to see a 120 dollar set become a 160 dollar set when I could be getting more.
  24. It's the fact that the Hoth Rebel Base was just recently brought back.
  25. Can't believe how much friendship is coming from a bowl of soup. And seriously, that MOC is worse than my Mystery Castle entry.
