[Comic]A day in life as a Stormtrooper.
xwingyoda replied to Lt. Veers's topic in Brick Flicks & Comics
Nice little comic there Veers but you posted it in the wrong forum ;-) Nothing that can't be changed :-P *yoda* -
Tks for sharing JP-30 that awsome Indy sculpture !! I miss living in the Big Apple where you have 2 of the BEST toy shops ever: the classic TRU with its own Ferris Wheel (and loads of ...) and FAO SHwartz which is the historical super toy store ;-) One question though, why is Indy posing in front of Bionicle X-D *yoda*

I need to do some catching up here :-P I paid a tad more than the S@H price: I paid 15 for the plane and 8 for the van (sure its a tad more expensive but I didn't want to wait for TRU to get them) Great remark there, I guess I totally missed that one :-$ And I agree that yellow doors would have been better but those dark bley do not look that bad !! Rubber off course ;-) They do look a tad tacky but its because they are the thin type (like with the racers) and I am not a fan of those |-/ Tks ;-) Me neither though :-P So true 8-

The only news here is the off road and jetski :-| All the rest has already been posted hehe !! Seen the retailer catalogue already so for me all this is no news :-P *yoda*

For once I hope they won't change anything on this preliminary pic :-P 3 new figs out of a total of 9 is Okie but I thought there would be more new figs in there. Great to see a jester and a hottie maiden (for once we see civilians !! lets hope that becomes a trend for 09 !!), also a black witch is always welcome !! Our evil sorcerer/necromancer was feeling lonely up his tower :-P I am not so happy regarding several figs like the black skellie, the mounted knight & guard |-/ But its great to have 1 more skellie, dwarf and orc !! I do wonder what will the extras be 8-

Thats a really sweet idea 8-

X-D whatever :-P Bloody typo I say. However, the upcomming Castle Advent calendar might include druids :-P I paid 30

OK that is a nice poll :-P Even though the Dwarves, Goblins and trolls are '08 and not '07 (the fact that the US got the mine early doesn't change the fact its a 08 set and as such should be left out !!) Here are my votes: * SW: it was a real close call between the blackie and Fisto but I voted for the Blackie: such a superb trooper !! * Castle: hot princess of course *wub* * Others: the badas Bane without any questions !! I love Miss Puff but she's not as great !! * Mixed: Sea Captain *y* *y* He really reminds me of Captain Iglo X-D *yoda*

Ah I finally got the 2 City sets I really wanted !! I am so happy that Lego went postal on us :-P . Since they are rather small I shall do a mix review of these 2 sweet sweet sets. 1) Mail Van (7731) Like always I�ll start with shots of the box art and bloody DSS. Now here are the extras of that set: I really love the new torso of the postal worker. My huge grip lies on the mail box: that mail logo is a freaking sticker !! For that part I was so expecting a printed part. That is really really bad !! Apart from that the design is pretty cool. The van is quite simple but I think its pretty cute. I love the fact that the rear is a window. 2) Air Mail (7732) Like always I�ll start with shots of the box art and bloody DSS. The extras are OK: another great postal worker. You also have yet another red trolley with a package that is a bloody sticker yet again !! G TLC should have more printed parts !! That plane for me is a classic thing of beauty !! Really is consistent with the fantastic planes of the 80�s. That�s the kind of lanes TLC should produce instead of those huge Playmo planes. Actually I am happy that TLC released that one � for once its not a bloody airline exclusive promo set !! Here are general pics. I love the engines of the plane: simple yet superb. Also the top hatch opens to insert mail and packages. The front control panel is a printed part !! I love the classic double train windows and here is a poc of the undeneath of the set. In conclusion I truly love these small sets: they are the perfect size (4 wide car yeay !!) and the colour pattern is amazing as well. I hope you enjoyed that review and do not hesitate to comment and ask pic requests if any ;-) *yoda*

Okie guys and gals, here s time for some droid exploration with my review of set 7670. As a general statement I have to say its really a neat set that is not that expensive for what it holds. 1) Box art Like always I will start with pics of the box art. BTW, notice anything guys ? No bloody crappy DSS. Yes, finally a set without stickers and that feels great :-D 2) The Mfs Nothing really spectacular there. The only novelty lies within the inclusion of the new Commander (yellow torso) BD. Apart from that, there are 2 BDs and unfortunately yet another SBD (I like those but I have a huge amount of them, and I would rather had something different). You have 3 short blasters and a couple of extra parts. 3) The Spider Droid I think it�s a pretty cool little buggar. It�s a rather simple yet classic construction I think. It has sweet parts such as the BD body in dark bley. It really has a spider feel unlike the previous Ep3 one. 4) The Hailfire Droid This baby represents the �pi�ce de resistance� of this set. I truly love it !! Sure it�s a bit under scale but I don�t really mind that. Its conception is superb even if I totally dislike assembling those technic treads (especially 80 of those small things). The ellipse of the treads is well balanced and that trans disc is a brilliant idea. The great thing is those new flick fire missiles: they don�t fall unlike the other ones and they do look good on this baby. Also you can put the wheels together and the missiles to gain some shelf space (easy storage ON :-D ) In conclusion those druids re really sweet and are perfect target practice for the upcoming RGS hehe !! I hope you enjoyed that review and do not hesitate to comment and ask pic requests if any ;-) *yoda*

Guys, I think you have everything mixed up between the "historical" CW and the CW series !! Sure I am not the biggest nerd out there but I'll try to shed some light to avois all the flaming that has NOTHING to do here !! At thge end of AOTC, Yoda clearly said "begun, the CW have" when you see clones entering ISDs !! What are the CW then ? Its the period betwen Ep2 and Ep3: it starts at the very end of Ep2 and ends when Order 66 is engaged and when the Empire takes over the Republic. The CW is the battle of the Republic (clones & Jedis) vs the Separatist and their huge droid army !! Thats what are the CW !! Now if you integrate the CW withing the movies, its considered as the generic term of EU since its neither part of the PT nt the OT Hope thats helpfull !! *yoda*

Tks ;-) I was talking yesterday to TRU employees about Lego and the discussion came to a comparison with Playmo and I told him I would want Lego to copy a lot Playmo (and I really think it for a lot of different reasons) and he laughed and told me never to say that to a Lego Rep X-D Oh trust me I will one day >:-) I love their Roman line and I can't wait to see their Egyptian line whi I think will be superb !! Look at the quality of Cleopatra 8-
