Not exactly. On the official producer commentary for the episode, he stated that Grievous was toying with her to show how powerful and fearsome he was. And this episode was good, but Rookies was my favorite.

I saw Quantum of Solace, and I have to say that it was good. Not like like Casino Royale, but still good. It brought back the old style of Bond, which can be good or bad depending on how you look at it. The story was okay, and the action was good. I wish it had more gadgets... and Q... 2.5/5 from me.

Sorry I have been absent lately, I'll try to catch up on this... Vote for Traitor: Adam. No really, if there's going to be a traitor, I think it should be Adam due to his suspicious activities and stuff, but it's his decision. Also, I like where this story is going, good work, everyone. Good call on the fake time machine, Oky Wan. Butcher decided to take out his lightsaber. Two magnaguards headed towards him, as four more came through a door. Jim blocked a few blows, but got stung several times by the electostaffs. I really need some lightsaber training... he thought. Oky Wan shot a magnaguard in the place where a human's heart would have been, and it instantly exploded. Jim cut down two more, and Thok ripped another's arm off. The fight was over. "Well, it's a fake" said Wouwie. "Yeah... I guess we'd better start looking again" replied Will. "But where?" asked JD. "I can find the central point of thermal and otherwise exhaustion by hacking in" replied BP-4C. Everyone looked at him blankly. "Meaning that I can find the time machine".

Amazing work, as usual, SirNadroj! This one is absolutely stunning, it's a shame you can only show 6 pictures in your post. I really like cannons firing as well as the Neptune rock and cobblestone street. Things that could be improved: Not really anything, but maybe blood would be cruel... :thumbup:

Same here! But then I saw another pic of the KimT fig, and realized what it was. The troll fortress sounds great, hopefully the queen will be included in this one. I also am hoping for troll and dwarf BPs.

Nice work, Ras Al Ghul. Perhaps you could add greebling to the front, and maybe even change the windshield? But I really like the engine choice.

Mmmm.... chrome... . I was seriously considering replacing the grey parts with chrome ones, but I bet chrome pieces are at sky-high prices. Good work!

Great work, CopMike! Now all we need is a Shaak Ti fig...

Thanks, everyone! I got the V-19, as well as some other great stuff. Thanks, hollisbrick!

As long it's not a free pass to the chamber, I'm in!

No, not really. IF a MOC is good enough to be a Lego set, it's good enough for me. If an official Lego set fails in my book, it fails. End of story. It doesn't really matter who made it, what matters (not to sound harsh), what matters (to me) is that it's good enough to buy, and (TLG) that they make good profits off of the set.

Thanks for the info, DB. The RAS's price is good and believable in this list, hopefully it will stay at that price. The AAT is a bit more expensive that I would like it to be, but not too bad. Hyena... meh, I'm still nit sure o this one, but the TIE looks reasonably priced (c'mon, chrome!). Ashoka's starfighter is the equivalent to the N-1 Naboo fighter, IMO, so a fair price. I wonder why the BPs are $12 now...

Set Name: 6212 X-Wing Fighter Number of Pieces: 437 Number of Minifigs: 6 Price: 49.99 USD/ 39.99 GBP/ 61.99 EUR Theme: Star Wars- Classic Year Released: 2006 Brickset Bricklink Catalog Folder Hello, and welcome to the third and final 6212: X-Wing Fighter review that is to be done on Eurobricks. This is the fourth X-Wing minifigure-scale model that TLG has done, not including UCS and MINI models. This set has a good number of playability features and figures, and is designed excellently, as I hope you'll realize after reading this review. The box Mainly the standard box art for that time period, although it does show the rare figures included in the set, with three new ones. X-Wing So, we begin with the set. The design has an overall sleek look to it, which is something that I look for a lot in Star Wars ships. It also features some ingenious design techniques, as well as playability and customizable features. This ship was used by Luke Skywalker and the Rebel Alliance in all three Original Trilogy films, although this version is from both Episodes IV and V. Front view The front view is impressive, for sure. It shows how areo-dynamic this ship really is, which is one thing that I think TLG got across really well. Note Luke in the cockpit. Side view Here you see the main shape of the ship. Note the two guns mounted on each wing, as well as the armor just below the cockpit. Middle The mid-section of the ship. Note R2-D2 in his astro-droid socket, and the printed pieces with the rebel insignias. Yes, thankfully, this set has no stickers, which is a huge plus. That little armor piece mounted on the back is held on by hinges, and flip up for no apparent reason. I think it is just there on hinges to be angled correctly. Astro-droid socket R2-D2 is held in his socket by two blue "jumper" plates. Fortunately, Artoo is the full fig, and not just the head. I think that the little bits of tan here look good, and don't stick out too much from the red and white color scheme. Cockpit As we come around to the cockpit, we notice an interesting control panel piece, which is printed. It is from that famous scene of A New Hope in which Luke shoots torpedoes into the Death Star's only weak spot. The 2x2 slope has an image of the monitor showing the on-going trench on the exterior of the Death Star. This is one awesome piece, probably the best detail about this set. Also in the cockpit is a yellow lever, which could have been better suited as a black or red one. I also don't like the bits of blue showing. While they were easy to find while building, they really stick out, which is unattractive. The unique windshield is held on by hinges and can be flipped up or down. Additionally, the pilot does not attach to his seat because of a 2x2 vent piece, which make it easier to remove him, and he doesn't rattle around when your swooshing the ship. Landing gear The landing gear consists of two hinges; one for lifting the leg and another for adjusting the foot. This is the only landing gear on the ship, since the back part just rests on the surface that it's sitting on. This is a little unstable, and sometimes buckles beneath the nose's weight. However, the landing gear should stay up if you don't touch it while it's on display. Also note how the nose angles inward to form a point at the end. This is done by those 2x2 bricks that connect to each other with Technic holes and pins, to move the connecting piece left and right. Lightsaber storage At the bottom, under the cockpit, lies the lightsaber storage. A piece similar to the windshield is, again, connected by hinges to open up. Here you can store the blue lightsaber included in this set. Please also note that the lightsaber hilt is chrome. Yes, chrome! Rear Here's the rear. You can see the thrusters, some rubber bands and a Technic gear that is being used a knob. I wonder what all of this is for? Wing mechanism If you turn that knob, it will spin a Technic spiral, which in turn, rotates the little knobs, which... Open Wings ...opens the wings! This is definitely the main feature of the set, and works surprisingly smoothly. The wings are supported and assisted by six rubber bands included in the set, which come wrapped around the dark grey rubber band holder, like in every set with rubber bands. There are two in the front (one on each side) that are held on by Technic head pins, and four on the back (two on each side) for extra support. Flight What a cool angle! This is extremely fun and easy to swoosh around, especially with the wings open. Just make sure you hold it correctly, or parts might break off, namely the thrusters. Nose Here's the nose, which angles in from the cockpit. You can also see those pieces that I was talking about before that allow the nose to angle inwards. There is some tiling and greebling here, but not so much that it is excessive. Wing Here is a look at the wing design. Note the printed 1x4 tile that has a pattern of red and white spaces. There are 5 red stripes, for Luke Red 5. Customizable feature Whoops, this is the same picture as the last one! Or is it? Take another look. You'll notice that the 1x4 tile changed to a white and red pattern of 1x1 tiles. This is the customizable option, which allows you to change the ship from Luke's Red 5 to Wedge's Red 3, which has three red stripes instead of 5. This is a wonderful feature, and one that TLG did not have to include, but they did anyway. Minifigures Finally, we reach the figures in this set. We get six in this one: Luke Skywalker (Pilot), Han Solo (Hoth), Leia Skywalker (Hoth), Chewbacca, R2-D2 (not pictured), and Wedge Antillies. The three exclusive figures are Wedge and Hoth Han and Leia. These are all great figs, and while TLG didn't have to include Han, Leia, or Chewie, they decided to, which is another great thing about this set. The only disappointing thing about the figs is that Wedge's head is the standard smiley. Ah well, you can't have everything. Also, one thing that you should notice is Luke's head. In this set, it is the same one as Obi-Wan Kenobi's from the Republic Cruiser, but in the Jabba's Palace set, he had a slightly different head which had black eyebrows and no line below the mouth. Although these heads are very similar, I think that Luke should keep his old head. That just about wraps it up, here is the... Final Verdict: Build: 7/10, it is a little slow at the beginning, an very repetitive with the wings, but overall satisfying. Should take the average builder about an hour to complete, although it took me 2 hours because I was watching a movie while building it. Playability: 9.5/10, this set has plenty of play features, although the real fun will come when that TIE Advanced comes out next year. Swooshablilty: 8.5/10, it is very easy and fun to swoosh, as long as you hold it in the right place. Still, the thrusters sometimes fall off. Minifigs: 10/10, TLG not only included the basic figs (Luke and Artoo), but also was very generous and included four other amazing figs. Design: 9.5/10, although there are a few... blocky parts, this set is very well designed and very sleek. Price: 9/10, although I had to pay $60 for it at TRU ( ) , this set's original price is pretty fair. Overall Score: 8.91/10, an amazing set with very few flaws. I highly suggest you get it if you are any kind of Star Wars fan. I am not an OT fan, yet, it looked good enough to get. If you are getting this (or already have), I also suggest you get the TIE Advanced coming out in Janurary '09, to reenact that famous Death Star trench scene. That's all for now, hopefully you enjoyed this review!

Yes! Svelte Corps is back! And with a great review! This set looks pretty good, especially with minifigs like the mermaid. The ship itself is good, but the interior could have been much more detailed. The boat was a nice addition, if <insert that tiresome argument>. I always thought that the hull pieces were all one piece, but thankfully I was wrong. This set is way to expensive considering the price-per-piece ratio and even the new/ renewed molds. At most, I think this would be $80, so I'm a little iffy on getting this. But, you never know...

Thanks for the great review! This looks like a good set, especially that 4x4. The horse trailer isn't so great with <insert that tiresome argument> pieces, but at least it looks smooth. The fence was a nice addition. This set is too expensive for what it's worth, so sadly a no-buy for me.

Yes, young padawan, with time (and hours of thinking), it will come to you. Of the recent titles, Guss's is the funniest.

Whoops, sorry, I didn't know you were with us. I'll edit the post. You mean gunships, right? In case you haven't noticed, all of the Venators and other Republic warships are locked in battle in space...

Great work so far, Oky Wan. What I like: The room with the bathing guy and the pirate running in is hilarious! I also like the ground floor (good blood), and the top floor with the duel. The room on fire is a nice addition, especially with the flames coming out of the window. What could be improved: The first and third floor... floors are quite vibrant, however, these really stick out in a negative way. I would suggest changing these to more neutral colors like brown or tan. I would also add more pirate cruelty, such as one tossing a person out the window from a higher floor. Other than these things, this a great entry, so good luck!

Actually, that would be pretty damn sweet. Perhaps I could help out with that if we ever decide to do it.

Fantastic work on the Carpenter, Lasse D! Great detailing!

Obviously, this topic is here to stay, so my vote goes to PT. The ships are good, the figs are great, and i just like the PT in general best, although OT is growing on me. The CW sets are good, but the figs are crap. I could care less about EU, but if they do a Darth Nihilus ship, well... let's just consider that one less of that set on the first day.

Only if the judges have to see it again, like from another angle or something like that.

Erm, why quit, Zuloo? You can still be in the contest since your entry is already posted. If needed, you can always rebuild it.

Hmm, I have a hard time believing some of this (not that I'm accusing you of lying, of course). $20 for the Echo base either means it's really small and lame like 2007's door, or the price is incorrect. Same for the MF. I can see the prices for the other sets, though. Ah, I suppose... it's just irritating when we get the same fig over and over (that's not a trooper).

Yeah, go ahead and [make the CIS] blow it up Pr0, or whatever you had in mind... Hopefully after that AA turret has been taken out, we can get this chapter going again. EDIT: Since you editied your post, Oky Wan, here it goes... "I can hear you loud and clear, Oky Wan, what's the situation?" Jim asked through the comm link. "We're about to take out the other turrets," came the reply. "Wait, what do you mean 'we'? Wha- Butcer didn't complete his sentence as the turret closest to the foursome started firing at the others. Good ol' Oky Wan, always on top of things. Hopefully the explosions wouldn't draw too much attention. Unfortunately, he was wrong. A few minutes after all of the turrets were destroyed, a large squadron of battle droids marched out of the nearest doorway. "This is our chance!" exclaimed Butcher. "The droids just let us in! Oky Wan, blow up the turret and get out of there, then regroup at the door. Blast everything in your way, and get inside." "Alright, JD and I are on our way". Oh, so that's who he's with thought Jim. But I thought JD was with Pro... Jim, Thok, Adam, Wouwie, and Garviel jumped out from behind the plants and sprinted towards the battle droids and their way in. Sniper fire was coming from somewhere behind them. They all took out their weapons and started firing at the droids. They met Oky Wan and JD in front of the door, and soon all of the droids were destroyed. Everybody was okay, except a small flesh wound on Thok's arm. They went inside, ready for anything that Grievous threw at them...
