The Homing Spider Droid set is a limited edition, so that ups the price by 10 dollars, plus the new molds could have something to do with it.

Its very unlikely that someone took all of the bricks out... so I guess that the empty boxes are there either for a preview (maybe the real sets haven't arrived yet), or what the people above said: to prevent shoplifters.

Joey Lock, thats not the poster I got with my RGs... I got the double-sided one that we saw on the TRU website, but did you get yours at a different store?

Hmm... I'd wait for more CW sets to be released before you blow your money on old sets, TLG might remake some or make new Kasshyyyk sets in the future.

Please read the rules first, and then you can join after the chapter ends. Thanks. And I will edit my post so that Grievous is behind the plan.

Thanks you two! Yeah, I know my room is messy... thats a WIP too!

Ah, I didn't realize that... In that case, make it General Grievous... then we could say that he was assigned to this by the emporer as assurance that the general was really a leader, and to lie to him about the real plan to destroy the republic. Only Dooku and Sidious know about the real plan, and all of the other separatists are deceived and take the time machine seriously, so it is a threat to the republic. And thanks for the warm welcome!

Thank you Oky Wan, and apologies to the rest of you guys, I guess I was rushing a bit and didn't think this through, it was wrong of me to reserve a review, if someone does an in-depth review before me, someone please close this topic. Otherwise, I guess I will do it. Again, many apologies for opening this topic before I actually had a review, bad example from me, very sorry!

For Oky Wan and TDF: I'm making a 'master review' of the rgs, so check it out on the topic that I made. Pics and the full review up tomorrow, hopefully. Oh, and YESSS! I get to make a review of the gunship!! On topic, I missed 20 pages this week... and lots of drama, excitement and waiting... I see you guys were really pumped for that night, especially you, sithassasin. Well, they're finally here, and I'm too excited about them to complain about the tank not being in US (yet). And I also spotted the homing spider droid, with a limited edition tag on the box, so thats next on my list. Congrats to everyone who snagged these! And here's to hoping for those who didn't get any yet!

7676: Republic Attack Gunship Number of Pieces: 1034 Number of Minifigs: 5 Price: 119.99 USD Brickset Hey everyone, I just got the RGS yesterday at TRU after I came home from camp. I saw all of the topics that I missed, and noticed a mini-review and a review with one pic, so I thought I'd make a huge, shiny new review that has lots of pictures and all of the requirements of KimT's index. NOTE: I did not apply any stickers to it, as a personal liking. So, lets start by looking at the box: A shiny, clean, and futuristic box, quite different from the other Star Wars box designs before this. There was so much Clone Wars merchandise with this font and design in the huge display at the front of my local Toys r Us store, and not just LEGO. It so beautiful, with the white and sky blue... anyways, for some reason, the boxes of the new Clone Wars sets seemed more shiny than usual. Maybe it's because they were just shipped, but once you pick up the boxes, they will feel really good in your hands, despite the fact that only about half of the space in the boxes are used... The back of the box: The back shows all of the main features of the set, plus pictures of the three other Clone Wars sets meant to be released alongside this one (although I did spot the Twilight and Homing Spider Droid, which were supposed to be released in September or October). So, on to the Gunship: Built straight from the bags. It took me about 4 1/2 hours, with breaks. It has an overall great design, but somewhat fragile, especially when building it. The cockpits always fall apart when opened, as well as the bubbles on the wings (which I will get into more later). The color scheme is very well done. You can always find the piece you're looking for thanks to the color diversity: Red, Dark Red, Lime Green (ooh!), Blue, Black, Tan, Light Bley, Dark Grey, Yellow and White. Also, split down the middle vertically, the ship is almost all symmetrical. Front: Side: Now, lets start with the many features that this set is hiding. The front has lots of lime green, a rare color. But more importantly: ...a rotating gun is found on each side. They rotate in a pretty wide range, although fragile. Cockpits: There are two main cockpits, right next to each other. Not very detailed, and are the same. And for some reason, the whole cockpit element flips up to reveal: ...nothing. Just the skeleton of the ship. Probe droid storage: Above the cockpit lies a plate that can be flipped up to reveal a storage area that holds: Two of these probe droids. At least, that's what I think they are. Hull: In this pic, two features are hidden. Mobile Command Center: The first of the two is a Mobile Command Center, but essentially just a hover chair. It is found by flipping up the two panels on either side of the hull. Bacta Tank: The second is the bacta tank found by just sliding it out of the storage area behind the MCC. One half of the tank opens: ...so a minifigure can go inside and heal his/her wounds obtained in battle. Cargo hold: Now, this is probably the main feature for this set. The two sliding doors (two on each side) slide open thanks to a clever Technic mechanism. Not much in here, just a gun holder and a place where the passengers wait to be dropped off in battle. Speeder Bike: I guess you guys saw it, the speeder bike. It is found by opening the rear flap. The bike is very cleverly designed by using a brown trike body. It's only a few centimeters shorter than the bike found in the Clone Battle Pack. Rear gun: Just a gun similar to the front ones. Engines: Huge engines (or are they cannons?) that are really fun to build. They really give that cartoon feel to this set. Missiles: In between the engines are two sets of four flick-fire missiles. Bubble cockpits: There is one bubble cockpit on each wing that supposedly control the turrets at the front. Very fragile. Storage containers: Two storage containers on each side hold the clone accessories. But, I wouldn't recommend putting them in there, because the antennae can fall out, or you might forget about them. Sticker Sheet: The Dreaded Sticker Sheet (DSS) has all of the stickers you need for this set. Unfortunately, mine was crunched up. I don't like stickers much anyways, but I might still apply some. Note the Republic symbol stickers, why couldn't TLG just use that printed piece from a few years back? Also, you get to choose between a bird-rat thing or a sleeping Twi'elk as your hull decal. What they're for, I don't know, looks like the movie or show will explain it though. Minifigs: Finally, the five minifigs of this set. They are all great figs, including: Commander Cody: Amazing, especially with the gear. The orange is nice, but I thought he was yellow. Clone Trooper: Again, amazing. The gear is great, and the new helmet and torso are great! All of the clones in the Clone Wars line have the same heads. Also, you can see the flesh beneath the helmet. Asaaj Ventress: Not so happy about this one. The torso and dark blue legs are cool, but the dress is pretty ugly. The head is alright, but could do without the cartoon-y face (yeah I know, its from a cartoon). Also has purple markings on back of head. Obi-Wan Kenobi: Pretty cool, besides the face. Cool hair and torso, though. Plo Koon: Beautiful! The true gem of this set, in my opinion. The head is the same material as Kit Fisto's. And the tosro is awesome, good for making a custom Ki-Adi Mundi. Well, that's about it, here is the... FINAL VERDICT: Build: 8/10, very fun and easy, should take the seasoned builder about 4 hours. Somewhat fragile. Playability: 9.5/10, Lots of fun features, although some can break easily. Swooshability: 3/10, I wouldn't recommend flying it around much, as you can barely pick it up safely. But with two hands gripping the bottom firmly, it can be moved around, but not spun or swooshed, etc. Minifigs: 8/10, all very great figs, especially Plo Koon, but could have included more clone troopers. Design: 7.5/10, some excellent ideas included in here, although some spots are very fragile. Price: 7/10: Should have been only 100 USD if not for the new molds. Plus, at TRU, it was 130 USD. Overall score: 8.5/10, a great set to have for your star wars/ clone wars collection, with some flaws. Save up for this one. So, how did you like my review? Your feedback is much appreciated! JimButcher, out.

Yeah, I got a cool poster with a list of figs on one side and a cool poster of the sets on the other side. But wait... the TX-130 isnt being released in North America? That just plain sucks!

I got the RGS yesterday at six in the afternoon. TRU had a huge display for all CW merchandise, with multiple copies of the RGS, At-TE, Homing Spider Droid, V-19, Magnagaurd fighter, and Twighlight.

I'm back! [butcher stared out through the cell shield at the wall as water dripped through the ceiling. We must be underground somewherehe thought. All he could remember before being put in the cell was talking to the CIS bounty hunter, bieng hit with the butt of a gun, and blacking out. Annix and Thok must be in different cells, because they weren't with him. Neither were his weapons. It was a miracle that he was alive. The CIS must need him for something, if not to interrogate him, otherwise he would have been dead. Suddenly, a door at the end of the hall opened, and the person who was behind it almost made Butcher's heart stop. It was General Grievous himself. "Hello there, commander." He said in a bored voice. "I see your 'mission' has gone astray. Not much of a mission, I must admit. Where are your friends, the Jedi? Has anyone even heard about thi-" "What are you planning?" Butcher interrupted. "What was the incident on Coruscant all about? Why take to hiding on this planet? Why am I still alive? Where is my team? What are you even doing here that it is so important?" "First, you are not in the position to be asking questions, now are you? And second, all of those questions will be answered in due time, but for now, I can tell you that they haven't killed you yet because we will be using you for a little... experiment", the General said with an evil grin. Butcher could only glare as the fiend left the hall...

Cheer you up? Okay... I give you +15 karma, whatever that means. And that really sucks that you lost your bike and fig, I hate it when I lose important stuff like that. So sorry for you. If I were you, I would take a nice trip to the bar...

Ahhh! Get him Hinckley, get him! Just kidding, just kidding! The things i don't know about EB... I'll never ask about it again!

I saw the first Hellboy a few days ago, so here are my new opinions: Hellboy: The head is... different, but very clever. Abe: eh, doesn't have that amphibian feel to it, but good attempt. The rest: I only saw the first half, sorry.

spamming, multiple accounts, 133t sp34k, etc.

Oh alright, thanks! Yeah, not very exciting, I was hoping (for Last Man Standing) something along the lines of the collapse of EB and only the admins survive...

Hi, I would just like to ask why there are some weird user groups with no members in them, such as 'Last Man Standing' or 'Boney'? what do they mean and what are they for? Thanks to anyone who can answer my question!

Cool ballista! I also really love the elves themselves.

Hmmm... maybe commanderbly62?

Ack, I didn't see that! Thanks for pointing that out and the feedback!

Hello everyone, this is just a topic for all of the new scenes of the PT movies that I will be creating soon. Instead of making a new topic for each, I figured to just make one for all of them. I am only doing PT because I don't have many OT sets, plus I like PT better. I love all of the cool environments, creatures, and characters of PT, so I like making dioramas for them. Note, I will not include my old Mustafaar and Kasshyyyk dioramas, they were horrible. So, lets start: Diorama #1: Naboo Swamp (Episode 1: The Phantom Menace) This is the scene where Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi land on the planet Naboo as stowaways on Trade Federation MTTs. Qui-gon is fleeing from an MTT that is on its way to Theed, crushing the forest and swamps as it goes. This is right before the local Gungan Jar Jar Binks grabs hold of Qui-Gon as the MTT harmlessly hovers over the pair. Obi-wan is running from a pursuing STAP. In the near future, expect to see the following dioramas: Battle of Kashyyyk (redone) Mustafaar Duel (redone) Theed Palace Duel Battle of Utapau Utapau Duel Comments are welcome!

B-V-7B Hello everyone, a while ago I decided that I wanted to make a minifig scale MOC of my house. At first, I wanted to do the whole thing, but unfortunately, I can only do a few parts of it (at least for now... ). So, without further ado, here is the first part that I did/ am doing, my bedroom: An overview: My loft bed (the walls are now down): Back view: Colored dresser, where I keep art supplies and junk: Front view: Sky view: Bulletin board: My dresser: Bookcase, a WIP: I know that you guys don't care what my room looks like (at least I hope you don't...), but please tell me what you think of the MOC itself. Is it accurate? Or not? Thanks. Scroll down for more.

I've always wondered what Steampunk is... but doubtlessly a great ship! I like the simplicity of it!
