Great Job Lord Vader !!!!!! Apo finally has his very MF now :P ;) !!! Really very nice custom like always :oD

I only wish !!!!!!! The fig looks weird but I really doubt its Ackbar unfortunatly !!!!!!!

Sorry guys, the Arc is gone ;) I'll close the thread.

Well, lets continue our little tour of the mansion shall we. I suggest we start with the kitchen, we might be able to find some food and liquor there !!!! All this wait in the cold really got my appetite growing !!!!

Tks for the info ;) I would go and check if they had target in france :'( I will move this thread to the buy forum ;)

Ras, I'll post pics tonight ;) Sarg, Viewing TLC's recent SW sets, I'm confident its going to be a great ship !!!!!!!!

Mister Brickster, I shall take the revolver then, and throw the bullets away (or discharge) the gun when we will see an open window. For our safety, it is not wise to carry a loaded gun, especially within a confined group of strangers where tensions are inevitable after a couple of days spent here. I think we should try to open both doors on the main floor, maybe one is unlocked, and we could continue our investigation in there.

To follow on Mister Bildur's suggestion, I think we should start by one of the two doors on the west wall. I am quite concerned by the revolver, it can be wrongly used. May I suggest that we go upstairs and throw the bullets out of the mansion. Since we are locked in, this will solve the whole problem and we keep the revolver as a clue !! We can draw the conclusion that the revolver was not for self defense since it was hidden in a secret place. Also if it was a nice antique, it would not have been loaded with bullets.

Jon, how weird !!!! The Vwing is not on the SW database *wacko* We see the ship twice !!!!!! A small reminder legoman: you see 2 Vwings escorting the Imperial shuttle, you have a better view when one is landing, both wings turn. Btw legoman, welcome to our friendly boards ;)

Cool off guys ;) Darth_Ewok's comment was not an outrage to the BIONICLE fans of this forum (not like certain really negative comments we had).

Looooooooooooooooooooooooooool Tks Jon for this !!!!!!! People are soooo stupid it works !!!! Are you sure this is not better in the humour forum ?? :D Also Jon you should edit the title of this thread to add in the second line "And dumb Ebay buyers" :D

Ras, Do you have the original Bwing ???? I sincerely doubt you can get rid of the Tehnics parts due to the fact that the cokpit moves according to the position of the ship ;) However, you could do what I have done with the Wookiee Catamaran: use 1X4 grey tiles to hide the holes of the Technic parts !!! Really works well ;) Sarg, The smallest ship is the Awing and not the Vwing ;) The Awing is really short, and the Vwing hase a long profiled nose with huge inclinable wings.

OOOOPS, sorry guys :$ Its weird, it really looks that it has both GREYS (and not red ;) ). Modification in the colors I sense :D

I'm positive its dark red Sarg !!!!!! I guess its just bad light that makes you wonder. Its a little more pale, but doesn't look like the flashy red !!!!!! Confirmation this week ;)

The more I look at the Bwing, the more I think its perfect. The wings look fantastic with those grey "slopes", the guns look a lot more realistic !!!! Also, there is a lot let orange parts !!!! The main body looks really faithfull to the original !!!! I see 2 modifications to be made (from my personnal point of view): * change all the tan color parts * get rid of the twin gun in front of the cokpit I cannot wait thursday to see a lot more pics !!!!! (The San Diego Comi-Con start wednesday evening for the VIPs)

What an intreguing discovery!!!! I am not really surprised by the content per se of the letter. We know that the town of Heceta wanted to buy this property and we know that Mr Crowley turned down the offer. Now we know the price of the deal. However, I am quite surprised that Mr Crowley kept this letter and a pistol in a "secret" place. Furthermore, Mr Athos is an esquire for what Company? For the Heceta Construction company ? This is really doubtfull considering that this small company would not have the 2 Millions$. Therefore, it should be the Paradisa Corporation. It is quite weird considering that the town wanted to buy the property. Mr Athos, I should be grateful if you could comment on this letter.

So what is your "selling approach" then ??? Are you doing deliveries ??? Mind you, our new tastefull receipe is Yub Yub Chilli !!!!!!! The Empire shall not accept competition on that product !!!!!

There is obviously something about this "fake" armor. I someone "visited" the mansion at some point, why did this person only steal one armor and not both ??? Also the path is long for the carrying an armor both ways !!! This does not make any sense. My first thought is that both armors were suppose to be there !!!! Why historical inacuracy still remains. I was wondering if the helmets of both armors were identicall (apart from the horns): if the answer is yes, that could mean two horns are missing which leads to a new questioning: why !!! Mister Brickster, could we try to move the horns, pull them, pull the axe or something to see if anything happens ??? Also, Mister Brickster, It has been a long day, is there a way we could relax in a nicer environment rather than in the entrance ???? I admit it is hard for me to have clear thoughts without some food and drinks.

Another Fantastic custom made by our Lord Vader!!!!!!!!!!! Really great custom Vader !!!!!! I like the black lines on the head !!!! (maybe not very accurate i don't know, never saw the show). I think it adds some relief contrasting clearly with those scary looking red eyes !!! Show us more !!!!

I thought it was a really great movie :oD I mean for SF written in the late 1890's, its just amazingly precursory. I just LOVE the idea of a more intelligent species carefuly planning our invasion by burrying their tripods in our own planet withouth mankind even knowing it. Also, as intelligent as they are, the only thing that saved mankind was their lack of immune system !!!!!!! I just love the scene in the basement when the alien drinks a lot of water withouth saying to himself that this will be my downfall !!!!!! As for the movie itself, it was really well staged, well played and the special effects were really good looking, especially in the first scene when the tripod emerges from the depth of the earth. I loved the way their laser beam pulverised everyone !!!! After reading your comments, I don't understand how you find that movie scary, it had a particuliar atmosphere, but I really didn't find it scary. Like always some points just didn't satisfy me !!! * the son ready to kick some alien butt makes it home alive !!!!!! Come on, the whole military is defeated in 2 minutes and he his alright !!!! Nonsense !!!!!! * the boat scene: come on you have super intelligent aliens with fantastically powerfull weapons coming to get rid of the human race and a crowd of people massed to take the boat in a narrow street: just shoot there !!!!!!! Nonsense once more!!!! Guys, I dont get your point about the biological ships !!!!! First, the ship is runned by an alien: the "lightning" is how the aliens boarded every ships. Thy need human blood to recreate their natural habitat on earth (hence the red plants). Finnally an explanation for Apo's point 3: The book was written in the late 1890's where mankind did not possess all the knowledge we have today concerning bacteries, immune systems... I mean, science made a HUGE leap forward in the 20th century !!!! So its logical for the author for not explaining in depth what at the time was unknown. Hope this helped ;)

I voted for the Falcon because the first version really looked *sick* and the new one looks *wub* Its a tough one because the Xwing and snowspeeder are truly great redesigns :oD The Bwing looks fantastic as well !!!!!! I would not have voted for the slave1 because the new version is too big and too flashy.

I'm pretty sure that this will not be the revolution I expected ;) Anyway its going to be interesting to see what parts are available and at what price !!!!! Even being the more suspicious about it, there will always be parts you need in there ;)

I went for the Interceptor because I'm anxious to see if TLC finally got rid of the blue parts of their Ties (which I doubt unfortunatly !!!!). My second choice is the Vwing !!! Anyway, since the design of the Bwing looks really fantastic, I'm sure all those sets will be just great !!!!!! Yeahhhhhhhh Don't worry Bricks0937, you won't be the only one picking them up !!!!!!!!!! i will buy several versions of some ships !!!). EDIT: I've edited your poll name prateek ;)

I voted 2, BUT its its a tricky poll ;) Depending on sets, my answer could vary drastically. For me SW is nearly (90%) choice 1, Viking will be the same as well as some city sets. But for HP, KK, Spidey, mini racers (...), I will buy those only for parts, so that would make me a pure builder there.

Hey Jay, I wish you a great time in London !!!!!!!!! May your Viking Hunt be successfull and enjoy the HP Party !!!!!!!!!! Talk to you soon and don't forget great pics ;) Take care buddy !!
