i have 2-5 R2-D2s, a green astromech, a red astro mech, and R4. Also the golden C-3p0. I know, i know, no lists, but ill post pics of my whole SW minifig collection later.

nicely done, Thok. Did you use pieces only from Treasure Chase for the truck itself, or did you add some different bricks?

yes, thats the movie, but not the girl. Im talking about the good one. And whats the movie called? I want to say Octopussy, but tats wrong... thanks, BatBrick. And sorry for getting off topic. ...i wonder if anyone is going to enter a 7 wonders of the world indy movie? i bet that would be interesting.

amazing, svelte-corps! great MOC, i love the hidden underground passage! this is the best one for me so far. and you know who Felicity reminds me of? The girl from that one 007 movie... ugh, i cant think of the name... but the one with the huge pipe, and Bond goes to this nuclear testing area, goes skiing with the girl, and the princess is the bad guy who blew up the pipes to kill Bond... and M had to come to the mission... help me out here guys!

i really do like it! i love cameos .

sorry for reviving this but... I totally agree with you on the dying breed of Bionicle idea. At first, when i was pretty young, i collected all six elements for each year, starting with the very first ones, the original toa. i hardly remember those days. anyways, i got all those,(2000-2002, somewhere in there) the toa nuva,(2003), the Rhakshi (2004), The two bad guy titans (spider guy and big brute guy), the dark bad guy (Matoa, Matoka... something like that), and the Toa of light. then the Burok in 04, then the Metru Nui heroes in 05 and the Vhaki (I cant belive i remember all these names), and then my intrest of Bionicles completely died, except one 06 earth guy, with rubber head and glow up teeth. So yeah, i hate the new Bionicle now, although the songs on some of the Commercials are cool (All American Rejects- Move Along) and it might die out... also, im pretty sure i got some of the stuff mixed up in comment. sorry. I also got the first two movies of Bionicle, even the forst game (GCN), but i gave all of it, all the movies, games, and bionicles, to my older neoghbor who likes bionicle, and gave me a few gamecube games in exchange.

thanks again, hollisbrick!! i can see that these will be released in october, thats good news. And I guess almost all hope has faded from getting new figures (like mundi or a commander) in the tank. On a completely different note, I just remembered one more set, the TIE Defender. I guess some of us, including me forgot about it. I guess there really isnt going to be a defender (this year at least), but any news?

as promised, heres a few more: V-19 Torrent: A good looking set, although a bit too expensive. The wings make it look huge, but its actually not that big. The wing opening feature is very wonderful, and seems to work well. The overall design is sleek and swooshable (i hope its not fragile). Not a lot to say about the figs, just a yellow pilot with red republic markings on the helmet. And even though its not supposed to have a fin on the hemet, im not complaining, becuase its not a big deal. In the end, me getting this set truely depends on if i have enough money at the end of the year. Its not too interesting, especially with Agents, Castle, and Indiana Jones sets to compete with, but still a nice set to have, especially if you're a Clone Wars fan. Magna Gaurd Fighter: The design all together seems very sleek and swooshable. The missles im not sure about, i would have to see it in person. A little overproced, in my opinion, for a small ship. But the thing that makes this set a real "ugly" one is the figs. If only TLG had made them like ones in the LSW video games. But of course, they went the wrong way and made a head, hood and cape <insert that tiresome argument> piece attached to a droid body. Not to mention that the head itself looks horrible alone. These figs look a lot like they could be Megablox, or even PlayMobile. What were they thinking? Ill leave it at that. TX-130S Republic Fighter Tank: A nice little set, especially if its not too expensive. Though a little stubby, this set could have potential with some modding. Same with the non-spinning turret. The cockpit looks very accurate, however, if a little big compared to the front. The figs are apparently two regular Phase 1 clones. Nothing ecxitng, but a nice way to get more Phase 1 clones. Im hoping the current pics are preliminary, so a commander and/or Jedi can make it in this set (Ki-Adi Mundi and Commander Bacara, anyone?). So far, its the only set with clones from the CW theme that doesnt have a commander. Another must-have for me. Homing Spider Droid: An ecxellent set, to say the least. Even though the use of Technic pieces bother me a lot, its still a good idea for stabillity in the legs of the Spider. It will look especially good next to all of the other CIS vehicles released so far (MTT, AAT, STAP, Droid transports [MTT and battlepack versions], Hailfire tank, and Dwarf Spider droid). The figs are also very nice. A Super Battle Droid, a Battle Droid, a commander droid, Commander Fox, and a Clone Trooper are all great army builders. I especially like Commander Fox, the third (and hopefully not the final) commander of the CW sets. This guy has really cool new armor, blasters, and red markings on the suit. The last must buy for me of the new CW sets. ...The last three of the CW sets (DGS and Twighlight) and ANakins Jedi Starfighter will be done tomorrow, as well as the other, non-CW sets.

ill be a rebel and say grizzly bear. a cow would just be a horse with shorter legs and horns. a buffulo would be an ugly <insert that tiresome argument> part that looks nothing like LEGO, in my mind at least, thats the picture. Other, a horse! oh wait... so yeah a grizzly. In my mind its a smooth textured chubby brown or black <insert that tiresome argument> body with head that moves side to side, and the head looks simple, with black dot eyes, maybe with angry eyebrows. no mouth. little bumps defining the hips from the body, like the horse, and bent legs at a 60 degree angle. EDIT: D'oh! I just read JimmytheJ's comment about the polar bear, no wonder where i got that picture (in my mind) from! now i feel incredibly stupid, even though i dont have a polar bear or havent seen it in long time.

an online custom LEGO store that makes light-up LEGO pieces. I think. (yes?)

wow, very impressive! Nice hlemet, very simple and smooth, it kinda reminds me of a mint mento (random i know). very good decals and cape thing. The thing i like most is the changing pic that lets us see 360 degree view.

theres a tutorial somewhere around here... but heres some quick pointers: - Use a completely white backround. I use marble or my bedroom wall liner (the wood near the floor), but not paper. that creates shadows. -use good lighting, three spotlights (the powerful outdoor ones) stratigically placed to point all in one spot helps alot. - use the Best Shot option of Macro, represented by a flower symbol or picture. Your camera will then take razor-sharp close up pics. -use soft flash ..hope these helped! oh and, Numbah 23, please dont use all caps for first letters in words. Its rather annoying to read. Thanks!

alright... Republic Gunship: A definate yes for me. The main big set of the year for me. It is required, IMO for a good LEGO Star Wars collection; it played a very important role in Attack of the Clones and will in the upcoming Clon Wars movies and TV series. The design isnt all that great to begin with, not being sleek or fast, but it does have lots of power in terms of battles, and its a troop carrier after all. to make it even more interesting are the figs. Only one normal clone, a dissapointment to all, but still better than nothing, and hopefully TLG will make a CW battle pack in the near future. Next is Commander Cody. The new armour, guns, and colored suit make for a great fig in itself, not to mention the important role he plays in the movies and show. Last but not least are the Jedi. Two of them in this set, one being Obi-Wan Kenobi. Many will dislike the cartoon face, but the hair, lightsaber, and torso make it worthwhile. And last but not least, the main reason oll be geting this set, is Plo Koon. Ive been waiting for alien Jedi a long time, and now theyve made him, Kit Fisto, and Ashoka. Lovely head mold, as well as the torso. He will look very good is my display next to the other jedi. Now, to the design of the set. Like i said, not sleek or fast, but nessecary. Flick-fire missles may take away from the overall likeness of the model, but kids will enjoy shooting their parents with it . Plus, It comes with bubble turrets (or maybe not), a bacta tank, and a speed chair. Overall, a must have for any SW fan. AT-TE: Also a very desireble set. Basically, a shiny, six-legged walker and of the same kin of the well known AT-AT, AT-AP, AT-RT, and the like. big turret on the top. Also a [almost] must have. The figs: First is a regular phase 1 trooper, and only one. Again. Next is Rex, the Commander of this set. Again, new armor, guns, and blue color. Next is the Jedi. Two again. Anakin, for those who didnt want the Starfighter, (like me) and is a very good fig, despite its cartoon face. It has very nice hair that ive seen in many customs already, and many more to come, i expect, including some by me. The torso is nice, same with the saber. And last, but this time, least is the Rotta mini-minifig. Just a green turd. Overall, nice set to have if youre a clone fan. Even if youre not, a good parts pack. ...hope you liked my mini-reviews for now, ill do some more later tonight, and the rest tomorrow, Im getting impatient, gotta see the other EB forums!

as stated many times before, this is NOT the 10th annv set. This is just a normal set that TRU and TLG were nice enough to allow fans to vote on. nobody knows for sure what the 10th annv set will be for sure, but many are hoping for a Naboo Crusier or Taintive IV.

umm... im new to the Agents line, but some people are saying they are realesed in August. Ive seen many reviews, as well as sets in stores (i got mission 2). So my question is, is the August release date for europe?

Its good, i guess. Did you build that house or is it an official set? If its a real set, than nothing special, if its not, great job. I see improvment in your pics, but turn down the falsh, or pic a best shot option. And while we are on the topic, my camera doesnt have marco option. it does have BS (best shot) however. There are options such as "childern" and "flower" and "candlelight". should i choose the flower one?

the sign on your cape appeared in the game "Mercenaries". It was the symbol of the Mafia. I think. ANyways, nice cape decals, LuxorV. And of course, good crew decals Stauder. They dont look too bad in grey.

well, i dont have any siblings or cousins (cousins that ive met), but my friend has a brother whos a year or two older than us, and he just gets mad a lot and smashes my friends LEGO. He also enjoys smashing video game discs, video game controllers, and Rock Band drums, microphones, and guitars. Hes not mentally challenged at all, just a crazy kid with temper issues. How does my friend deal with his bro? he doesnt... he has to live with it.

could somebody please make a decal of the blue overalls torso with a red shirt underneath? and a torso of a SW ep 3 clone trooper with red chest plates (and a little green oval shape on the plates if possible) and the stomach yellow, please. Thanks ahead of time!

very nice figs, again, BatBrick. i really like the gangsters. will we be seeing all of these actually in the setup sometime?

i like it! very detailed, it reminds me of florida. is it a WIP? because it lacks detail, but if you make an interior (TVs, beds, couches, etc.) im sure it would be even more amzing.

sweet! even though the fighter tank looks a little... cartoony... yes, i know its based off of a cartoon, so dont even think of posting a comment where you tell me that. its just that the little front fin...thingies (what are they called...?) are kind of stubby. and the turret isnt rotating, so thats a big dissapointment. and only 1 fig. i hope these are preliminary, because im still hoping for Ki Adi Mundi and and extra or two clones. the homing spider droid still rocks though, and ill be getting both of these if they are under 50 USD each. Now on to the ugly ones... well the DGS isnt exactly ugly, but no figs makes it hard to like. If it had a droid marine or even a pilot or two, id be happy, and it would have to be 30 USD or less. and the twighlight... still a piece of junk...

True that! Cheeseheads, UNITE!!

making more smash bros figs. all of them i made so far are: Pit, Meta Kinght, Link, Samus, Fox, Mario, and Diddy Kong. You can see them soon in the Minifig customization forum.
