And a last one:

Another one:

OK guys your friendly xwingyoda has pics for you. Lets start with the clone thingy

What a glorious day *satis* Just came home with my ARC, Catamaran and Tank *satis* I'll post pics when they are built but I have an awful lot of work this week-end :'( EDIT: Its weird, after talking to the Lego rep or manager, I learned that France (so Europe too) will receive that crappy DINO line in shops *wacko* EDIT2: I've just finished construction of the wookiee catamaran and here are my impressions: 1) the catamaran is way too large and big 2) the catamaran really needs to be modified in order to hide all those bley pieces in the center of the ship (still need to do this) 3) the clone thingy is really awsome (better than I expected) 4) I hate those LUL, effectively the heads spins like crazy 5) the other figs are great I'll post pics of that set later on today or tomorrow in the pic section Hope that helped the undecided buyers out there ;)

What are kids doing these days *wacko* I remember as a kid I bought sets and I totally redesigned everything for my own storytellings. "Imagination" for me was both building designs and story ;) Nowadays, kids are living in a sort of virtual reality where everything is done for them (maybe to compensate for lack of imagination...). It seems as they buy sets not for the fun of building them but to play with them in the way that TLC tells them to do - a firestation is just a fire station so you have to put firemen in action when necessary. They would probably not create something different from the original design (and it is not only due to the emergence of special pieces). In that aspect, I'm happy to have kept my inside child mind ;)

Right Jon, how could we forget Milady :-D

or gotten ill by eating too many grannies :-D

Maybe its the big bad Wolf :-D

Awaken she musts ;) Needed by the force she is :-D ;)

Cyclonis, What I also dislike about the new sets is that crappy "quick build": the packaging really sucks - one plastic thingy for every big part of the set with its own mini instruction manuel. What on Earth is that :'( Arg, a little Yoda wisdom for you: never look bad when buying sets, be proud of your hobby (especially there is nothing to be ashamed of) ;) mister_phes, You're definitly right, TLC needs to put a lot of alternative models isntead of that stupid kid playing. This is another aspect of my former crtiticism. Lego is all about imagination, how does one embodies his visions on the set. Also, TLC really needs an "equilibrium between the number of common and specialist pieces" ;)

Who, Who????? Maybe at last, the mystery will reveal itself ;)

Orlego, that would be indeed great news ;) I think its not for the month in advance but for the reasons: could thid means it makes way for a whole new batch of SW sets (ROTS and OT) for september??? One could only hope ;)

Thanks buddy ;)

Excellent, thanks Orlego ;)

Cyclonis, Could you post a close up pic of that really awsome helmet??

Puppies would sell better than ewoks though :-D (in the little furry animals). They also have similar ways of communicating: yip yip and yub yub :-D (evolution is such a strange thing ;) )

Apart from clecle that is ;) . Where are you clecle?????

Yep France has all the sets (at least Paris). Actually where I buy them they had a delivery problem but I think TRU might have some (I'll check on that sunday). Concerning your second

JIPAY *with Stevie Wonder music playing* Happy bday Jipay, happy bday Jipay, happy bday (X3) Happy bday buddy, may this congratulation leads to another (finals ;) ) At least with all these new sets coming out (or crawling out :-D ) you won't have a problem finding gifts ideas ;)

Excellent sig: I just noticed the Yub Yub :-D

Jipay, I'm sure you have to do a little bit of explaining there ;) Very nice humour, easily understandable for a Frenchie, but for others.... Guys remember our last presidential election *wacko* EDIT: those policemen do have black uniforms *wacko*

Oh yeah ;) This will be, at least, interesting :-D Being Bac+6 to be a secretary sucks *wacko* Orlego, Is this ex-6fig lawyer has a website with his personnal collection?? He could open his own Lego store with that amount spend annually for a couple of years ;)

Lucky you my friend ;) Really, French romance is the BEST ;)

Reminds me of a great Metallica song "Don't tread on me" :-D

We have a fire and crime spree :-D What kind of city is this - Lego's version of Orwell :-D Its not 1984 anymore :-D We need life: restaurants, cafes, shops, beach houses, marinas, boats....
