Haha, yeah, it would've been nice if they gave us the chrome gold one, but as they said all future c3po would be this new color, it's likely that the UCS MF will have them

Actually I used a tripod :-/ The lighting conditions were so bad I really needed to open it up. I wanted to keep a low ISO (100) for the sake of picture clarity... I might try to retake some pics today, but I'm not sure there's much that can be done if the press of the button is what causes the blur Edit: fixed ;-)

Damn, and I have to be away from my bricks at a time like this :-( Good luck to all the contestants!

Truly a work of art *wub* That whip seems to be in a different position...how awesome would it be if the whip was posable? *sweet*

No glue whatsoever on any of the figs

I can't believe I missed this great review! Thanks for the pictures, Sandra!

Maul didn't have to die until Ep 3...one of the things I hate most about the PT was that they never KEPT a villain around long enough for you to hate him! Maul got two words and about 10 minutes of screentime. Dooku (who would have been better as just a Dark Jedi IMO) got maybe a half hour, and thrown away at the start of Ep 3, and Grievous? :-X Don't get me started :-| What a total waste of a character! Well again, that didn't happen in the movies, and that's A-level canon :-D That didn't happen :-P What you heard about was an Infinities comic book that was drawn.

He's from New Zealand and we just got the Fighter with HD ring too :-D

Well I finally got it today, after the S@H shipping took forever... I really love this set, it's full of great parts at a decent price. Castle Chess Set 852001 Pieces: 265 Price: $49.99 First, the box Same old same old... Now the Pawns First, let's look at the human pawn. I love that helm, it's great to have in numbers. That torso is also my favorite of the new torsos...the classic shield, and the classic sword *wub* The undead pawn...well, not much I can really say. These are my first black skellies...so it confuses me why they're the pawns. I figured they were the higher ranks or something. Each comes with a mace (which I'm REALLY not a fan of...) and one of those nice little round shields *y* The heads aren't as stand-out as the white ones The rook Same old same old...or not! As you've already heard, these are not glued! You can use all the parts (just like an Eskimo!) and I have to say, they come with some nice parts...dark blue cones for the "human" rook, and dark red cylinders with the undead one. The Knights They really screwed up here |-/ For the first time they could have included a REAL knight, and they do the same old crappy 4-piece nonsense! I mean sure the horse headgear is nice, but it should have been ON A HORSE. With a knight...with the pointed visor :'-( And yes, the slopes are the new smooth kind The Bishops These guys are nice...not too much to say here. I wish the undead one had SOMETHING on his torso though. For the human, if you don't see the staff, don't worry! They're in a little indent behind the king and queen. The Kings Again, not much to say. It's nice to be able to get the king in a cheaper set. Nice sword and crown...but they really make the pearl gold armor look like crap. They should've made the pearl gold armor chrome gold to match everything else, and the pearl silver armor match the new helms...(pearl silver armor in the joust set, none in here). The human king has a viking torso to match his viking head, and the necromancer has the same Imperial Guard torso as in the Skeleton Tower set. The Queens Again, not much the say. The princess (who's a beauty *wub*) is the same as in the Skeleton Tower set as well. The undead Queen is...well, a skeleton (white) with armor and a cape. Nice staff though. I have to admit, the armor makes her look kinda busty :-D Torsos... --- Overall, I love this thing. Great way to amass armies! Only problem are those ugly skeletons |-/ But those can be traded away X-D This is a must buy even if you're just a casual fan of the theme! Figs: 10/10 (no kidding!) Parts: 7/10 (horses would've been nice...but bonus points for no glue!) Price: 7/10 (could've been a bit cheaper, but not bad) Playability: 10/10 Overall: 34/40

You really like to have the last word, don't you? You were rude to other members opinions and continue to be. Keep this up and it's a short trip to the chamber

Just go into the thread and ask for an assignment ;-) Serve it with total loyalty *vader* :-P It's for fun! Just go with the flow. You'll be given missions by the heads of the Empire. If you think of anything fun to add to the story, go right ahead!

I'm pretty sure you can't show the image since it's a bmp and not a jpg

At least you're laughing at that too X-D

Hey now, I'm just trying to keep the hounds off her for her husband's sake :-/ And jealous? Of a pirate? :-D :-D

Your husband wouldn't like another man standing up for your relationship with him? Strange guy *wacko*

I still see his avatar as a samurai...

You're adorable. Better? :-P

You can upload to this site from your computer. When you go to post, under the text box you type in, you should see a "File Attachments" box. Browse for the file you're looking for (or type the path in directly if you know it), and upload. If it isn't working, most likely the file is too large. The easiest, and most common way people upload is by linking to a site, such as photobucket. Remember to use a deeplink or it won't work! Rather than photobucket, most people set up a Brickshelf account, but it's really all up to you. Hope that helps!

Hey, I'm afraid there's no picture. I'll move this over to the pirate MOC forum for you. Can't wait to see those pictures!

Ah, a woman posts her picture and the hounds come out to play. Down boys, I doubt her husband would appreciate it much :-D

Welcome to EB, Aaron! So...what themes are you into? :-P Anyway, I'm sure you'll enjoy it around here

Well yes, those are customs from MCN, however that's taking the secondary route I mentioned...having the heads be human, and just calling them elves, which could of course lead to some people complaining about them being lazy :-P

True, but nobody said anything about them being long :-P Their distinguishing feature are their ears, which would be difficult to represent

While I would love elves...how would it work? The trademark of elves would be their ears (unless you just call them elves like most MCN decals), and even normal figs don't have ears, so how would you go about it? New head mold to include ears? Seems a big expensive. Just calling them elves? That could draw criticism of them being lazy since they look like humans. Don't get me wrong, I hope they move in that direction as much as the next green guy. However I'm just unsure how they'd go about doing it. Finally we could have a proper link MF though :-D

Hm, well personally I don't care if something else can attach or not, unless this is an alternate build this thing is still too ugly and poorly constructed to make a difference. As for it being that guys favorite set (alongside the aerobooster), that doesn't make it good. Hell, some of our members like it the way it is, personal opinion varies with the wind.
