The over-hang rule is only for the vignette, I think.

Didnt we already know the official release date a very long time ago? Like January? I suppose its now "official, for sure official-official", but we all knew it would be July 26th.

Great review. As much as I hate spongebob LEGO, I just might get this set. It has a good number of useful parts, like the computer and keyboard, and all of the brown pieces. How much does this set cost in USD?

Good point. And great entry, one of the few that actually bothered to used arealight/ wuzzupbob customs.

Yes, I realized the first part . as for the flick-fire missiles, the do fall off very easily.

Awesome, I love this movie, and the MOC is pretty accurate. I like the chain gun. And the photography is so good, it looks like it was made in LDD . When its done, are you going to close-ups of the figs?

hmm, there are so many possibilities... But I would say a small jet ski mission with a villain chasing an agent on a small boat (like in that one Bond movie... I think either Die Another Day or The World is not Enough) while the agent is on a jet ski running away with stolen enemy plans/ blueprints. Also, a safari/ Africa theme would be great (Blood Diamond!) as long as it doesnt have any tanks or huge vehicles. Small trucks and bikes would be cool, but the IJ line already has lots of that. Lego Lyons (the animal, not the member ) and elephants, ON!

How do you know this?

yeah, I was looking at the construction booklet and it reminded me of that (I forgot about it), but that makes it more fragile.

7663 Sith Infiltrator Year: 2007 Number of Pieces: 310 Number of Minifigs: 1 Price: 29.99 USD Brickset Hello everyone, and welcome to my second review on Eurobricks, the Sith Infiltrator! Lets start with a pic of the box, shall we? As you can see, its a Limited Edition set, meaning the fig and set could be worth a lot in the future. This set takes about 20 minuets for the seasoned builder. An overview of the Infiltrator (also know as the Scimitar): As seen in the picture, this ship is very sleek, with very few studs on top (SNOT= Studs Not On Top). Basically, Its the cockpit with two wings (with two "fins" on each wing), attached to the hull. Heres a side view of the Scimitar: Very cool- looking! It lands on two "feet" in the front while the cockpit rests on the ground. Rear view: The back. The outer cockpit is beautiful, a printed piece on the back (no dreaded sticker sheet! (DSS)) and a large printed disc on top: Heres a look at the middle: There is a flick-fire missile (trans-red cone attach to Technic pin) on the inner wing, a trans-red lightsaber blade in the back of the hull, and a trans-red lightsaber blade in between the fins on either side. All of those lightsaber blades may come in handy... Hey, look: the fins open from the wings!: The fins open due to double hinges on each fin. Unfortunately, you have to hold the ship up in order for the bottom fins to open. Now, lets have a look inside the cockpit: To open, you lift the back printed part, which is attached to the printed disc on top, which is attached to a hinge. It opens pretty smoothly, but is somewhat loose, so sometimes it closes on its own. Also, the disc isnt secured well enough to the door, and often breaks off, even with the smallest movement to it. Inside, there is an elevated control panel and two sliding pieces near the floor. This ship also comes with a small speeder bike: Its very cleverly built, and is a really neat addition. See that clear disc on the bottom? It fits perfectly into the sliding pieces in the cockpit: Hmm... whats this?: A hidden compartment! Now this was a very cool idea by TLG, a secret compartment found by taking off the top slope of the hull contains Darth Maul's weapons and tools which include: A (CHROME!) lightsaber hilt, a pair of electrobinouculars, and three probe droids. A closeup of a probe droid: Just a plain, black minifig head with a black lever on top. Finally, the fig: Darth Maul in the flesh plastic. A good fig altogether, with a black hood and lightsaber blades taken from the ship. He did come with a crisp, new black cape (packaged in a small, white cardboard box), but I am currently using it for another fig. Note that this is a limited edition fig, so stock up. A comparison pic of the two Mauls: The 2007 version is on the left, and the 1999 version on the right. Note a few key differences between the two: the new one has smaller red tattoos and a smoother torso. Also, the new one has bigger eyes and a more cartoony look. Maul on the speeder bike: Of course, he fits perfectly in the cockpit wile sitting on the bike, and he can reach the controls: Well, thats about it, here is the... FINAL VERDICT: Build: 8/10, easy and fun, breaks every once in a while. Playability: 7/10, this set has many features, but is very fragile between the cockpit and hull and between the two cockpit pieces. Swooshability: 1/10, too fragile to fly around, plus the flick fire missiles fall out. Minifigs: 9/10, a great fig with a chrome hilt and a double sided blade. A little cartoony. Design: 7/10, very clever techniques, very sleek, but very fragile. Price: 8/10, fair enough, could be a few dollars cheaper. Overall Score: 6.5/10, a very sleek ship with clever building and play techniques, but very, very fragile, and shouldnt be picked up off of the shelf too often. And with that, my review is over, but all of yours are not: comments and thoughts very welcome!!

Meh, i wouldnt buy them... too cheeky , but these kind of things are always good for collectors. But what kid (the targeted audiance for this, I assume) is going to be interested in an exclusive set through mail orders? At least, I never paid attention to that stuff when I was eight....

Thanks, you two. And thanks a lot, Thok for pointing that out, it should work now.

sorry if this seems rude, by all means i dont want to be rude. Im just saying, On the snipped part: i wasnt trying to act like a mod, I just asked you to politely stop bolding words so often (three words ) Anyways, good luck on your hunting, everyone.

Aha! thanks both of you. Let me try it out: Hey, I did it! thanks a ton, IS and Blockbeard!

UPDATE: new vig: Dark. See first post.

wow, very impressive, Sandy! Youve used some very clever techniques, like the map, the ogress ponytail, and the excellent photography! Not to mention that the story is very good, and the characters' personalities are very deep (good idea using the thinking bubbles). Rod is really funny, along with his master . Great job!

Hmm, now thats something I didnt realize, thanks for pointing it out! And thanks all for the feedback.

quick! everyone look at Thats what I did today. I watched it 10 times and laughed every time :laugh: That video is for you, Sinner!

I think a vig from a favorite movie contest would work really well, and it sounds like a lot of fun!

Sorry for posting here again (and thanks for the help before), but I was wondering: how do you use an image as a link? For example, if I wanted to advertise a MOC in my sig, how would I change the picture so that when someone would click on it, it would take them right to the topic? Thanks for the help!

I think that would be a great idea... why would anybody need to ask on what they should buy? I hope they wouldnt do that for every decision in life, not that im trying to offend here...

Hey, that fig looks great, Christine! I never would have thought that the hairpiece that your using would work so well for a female fig. I also like the torso choice.

Chevy Corvette Z-06, no doubt about it. Im gonna steal my neighbor's orange one! Or maybe this: Lotus Elise And beyond impossible to get (only 500 in the world), a Ferrari Enzo:

One of their best songs, IMO

Hi everyone, here are some Lord of the Rings customs ive been working on. This is Aragorn. The sword isnt the best, but i dont have any better ones. Legolas the Elf. Im still working on him, he needs blond hair. Credit to LuxorV for the awesome decal! Gimli the Dwarf. Im not sure if I want to change his beard to light brown or not yet. The helmets not right, I might chop off the wings, but its the only one that fits on with the beard. Frodo the Hobbit. Im not sure that the face is right, im still working on it. I think an Ep2 Anakin torso would work better, but i dont have that one. Sam, Frodos gardener. Not much to this one, too bad the jedi torso is yellow. Gandalf the Grey wizard. Comments are welcome.
