  1. I don't see why they wouldn't eventually give us movie versions of Ki Adi Mundi, Aayla, Shaak Ti, Peil, etc, I mean if those specialized parts exist why not use them. The were able to do this by making Agen Kolar for the Arrest set.
  2. I understand 12 and 13 being disappointments, but I don't see why 14 should be any better or worse than an e\average series. The MMORPG probably won't put any rescrictions on what could and could not potentially be in series 14. But who knows, maybe its 15 skateboarders and a surfer.
  3. the extremely light grey color they used for the base color of the Knight's Kingdom II shields and Thok would be good, if they still have it in production.
  4. For those familiar with Game of Thrones, I'm anticipating at least one Coldhands MOC in the near future.
  5. I bought and built the Lone Ranger Silver Mines Shootout yesterday, and I have to say that although it is a 70$ mountain, the set is a really fun, non repetitive build, that looks spectacular when complete. I gives me a lot of hope that any future Erebor set could be equally thriling to build despite the fact that Erebor is nothing more than a mountain face with an ornate entrance. I think Erebor will probably not get a big representation until TABA comes out though, most likely the setting for the Battle of Five armies.
  6. Which minifigs are important is always going to be a personal opinion, but as far as I look at it the only "Essential" characters that we are missing in any form are Witch-King (Technically one of the Wraiths in Weathertop could be him, but face it we want spikey death helmet) Eowyn Faramir Galadriel (Could possibly appear in a Hobbit set.) Denethor and Gothmog (maybe not essential but along with Lurtz and the Ring Wraiths, he's one of the few named baddy that gets out on the battle field. My orcs need a general) There are of course variants of characters like Merry and Pippin in their Rohan/Citadel attire and a none naked Lurtz, that we could really use as well as certain factions that are still missing Lothlorien Elves, Gondor Soldiers and Rangers, Haradrim and Easterlings. All that aside, missing six or seven crucial characters after only two waves isn't all that shabby.
  7. Possible Spoilers below, nothing that isn't shown in the trailers. Does anybody else find it odd that Tonto and the Lone Ranger appear in the Colby City set when from what we've seen of the trailers The Lone Ranger doesn't become the Lone Ranger until after Dan Reid's death? Seems like a missed opportunity to have a minifig of straight up John Reid. Clearly we don't know how things go down in the movie, but I'm willing to bet that all three of those characters never show up in one place at the same time.
  8. When and where are the B-Wing, Snowspeeder, and Tantive IV Planets set supposed to show up?
  9. The issue with Greedo is that they discontinued the turquoise color that was perfect for him.
  10. Non- Clone Wars versions of the jedi, adding to those that we got in Palpatine's arrest.
  11. I want to update the heads of my fleshy figs so that they all have the pupils that the newer figs have, any suggestions on what heads to use for: -Tarkin (Probably the most important of these characters that has yet to be redesigned) -Owen Lars (Obi Wans seems closest but they use the same hair so he would just be Obi Wan) -Wedge (The generic Pilot head isn't all that bad) -Crix Madine -Mon Mothma -Biggs (By far the hardest for me to find anything even remotely close.
  12. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=231-1 Unless the baseplate is dark red it isn't entirely new.
  13. It seems we've marched forward a bit, but in regards to the former discussion about sets made at the same time as the movies here's my two cents. 1. They shot all the movies at the same time so I would assume that 95% of the designs will be more solidified, earlier in advance so that Lego has more time for acuracy. the exceptions being CG stuff that may not be completed. 2. Even if this isn't the case by the second movie, it surely will be for the third, (as lond as TLC still makes sets)
  14. What's the cheapest way to get all the minifigs? Obviously BL but with the price of figs there I may as well buy the whole set. Also bought a few sets already and I am a bit bummed the Ewar and Equila are exactly the same except for their helmets.
  15. I've recently started to collect the modular buildings. UV isn't a problem but dust is. Does anyone know is using canned air (like the kind for keyboards) on lego has any negative effects of the bricks?
  16. I am still holding out for exclusives in regards to next years wave, but since the pictures go from smallest to largest set in every theme, and we can clearly see a ~10 and ~100 USD set on one page, I think it is safe to assume those four are the only new sets in that catalogue.
  17. I wonder if they scaled down the number of sets to make sure that LOTR and the new castles sets don't conflict.
  18. For those who have shipped opened larger lego sets on Bricklink in the Box, how do you ship it to A. minimize shipping costs, and B. assure that the box and its contents arrive safely? I'm psoting this here because I don't have enough posts to post in the Buy Sell topic.
  19. Is the white Warg ridden by either of the other two named Hunter Orcs?
  20. Just bought the three biggest sets, they certainly are full of parts for MOCing landscapes. These sets are far more colorful than the LOTR sets, love em.
  21. Was I mistaken in thinking that we'd heard somewhere this wave would have something like 8 sets?
  22. I was literally about to ask if anyone had a pic of all the dwarves together. They look nice. Nori's hair really should have been brown.
  23. Depending how you classify the karate master and sumo, we have had five figs from Japan. Asian is a very broad term, hence why I named specific countries. I suppose I did overlook the two Egyptians, although I still think a Zulu warrior might be nice.
  24. Now that these sets are available I'm realizing how much i sorely miss that lovely $20 price range. Riddles is a bit redundent to buy, and my girlfriend intends to get me the Mirkwood Spiders set for Christmas so I have to wait on that one. It is unfortunate that with the TRU mark up, or shipping, even the Barrels set is basically 50 bucks. Maybe others have more money to spend on lego, but day to day the twenty dollar sets are the only ones I can afford. Does anyone else feel we may have benifitted from one additional set at the lower end of the price range?
  25. Do I need to finish the entire storyline before I can use characters I've puchased in the open world?
