It looks like there a black gear stuck in there. Could it be a combo of both 8-

Hmm... Krika: Love it so far *wub* . Maybe the body could not be straight up, but it looks cool. Sort of makes up for last year's poor white canister designs. *y* so far. Gorast: :-X . I'm not sure about the body, but he uses Av-Matoran limbs :-X . For all six of his limbs. His feet maybe useful for big titans, though. His face is sort of weird. *n*. I don't think that *n* can change. Bitil: I guess it's a regular canister for this guy. Wings are okay. Like the feet. The recolored yellow Rahkshi legs are awesome for MOCers. I want to see what his other weapon is. *y* for now, may change. Gali: This is just me, but the masks looks like an Olisi. Looks like she's packed on some pounds and armor since her pre-Mistika days. I can't make out what her other weapon is besides her gun. *n*. Onua: On the other hand, Onua has lost a lot of heavy armor. He's got some kind of weird red spike and some tacked on ugly shoulder armor. It doesn't look good as shoulder armor on him. Also wish he had another weapons besides his gun. *n* Tahu: Discussed to death before, gets a big *n* from me. In conclusion: The Mistika look less like the Nuva than the Phantoka did. They also appear to have worse designs than the Phantoka as well. Also, is the Mistika Makuta's new shooter the weird lime thing from Krika's hand?

But set-wise, that will mean that they won't have compatible masks.

Well, if you moved the main wing one brick back, you could put some bricks there. Not sure how the whole thing would like with that though.

Sam you rock. Those pics are great, but it looks like the V-19 has a gap after the cockpit |-/ . Not happy about that. Also, I hope that white clone is a prelim and the actual set will have a yellow pilot!

Wow. I'm really impressed by that chess set. It's huge and detailed. I really what looks like the rooks on the corner for skellies and the sideline barriers. I want all of these but I can't afford it :'-( .

Hmmm...Exo-Force has cool parts and cool minifig torsos, though I didn't think much of the heads or hairpieces. I can see why no one would want to buy 2007 Exo-Force. They look like anorexic BIONICLE bugs. The 2008 lineup is okay, though. Better than the original, but I haven't looked at either very closely.

I think I like the new Tahu better when he's far off in the sky like that, and you can't see how what they've done to him. That still doesn't change the fact that he uses a backwards Piraka torso, has jets in weird places, and bears no resemblance to his former self.

It looks like the P-38 starfighter to me. I don't understand what you mean by camouflaged. That sticker's part of the P-38 starfighter (MagnaGuard starfighter). EDIT: Beat. And the droid on the STAP has to have old hands, it would be easier for it to hold onto.

Hey, I have a question. Is Ahsoka's head a regular printed head and a separate headpiece or one big headpiece?

Thanks for the new pics, Sam! Too bad the clones have more ugly cartoon faces. Unfortunately, we can also see that the pauldron and kama are plastic :-X .

Oh, there is yellow! I missed that! Thanks for telling me. The fin's still there, though, so it's more like a Phase 1 commander. Still, different-colored clonies are nice.

I have a question. Wouldn't *yoda* 's PIA be under set mods, since technically it's the official set, with the colors swapped and detail added.

I wanted a clone pilot :(. Too bad we are not getting one in either. But you know what I'd really like? ARC pilot.

I hope they do. I'm really eager to see what they've done to the Nuva and what the vehicles were look like.

Well, I'm a little disappointed at the minifigs: The ARC's blue symbol looks great, but why did they get rid of the other great mold *n* . I liked that one because of the slit. On the other hand, the new pauldron and kama and pistols are great *y* . Also did anyone notice that the ARC has a rangefinder on his helm? Hope it swivels down! I love the new visor on Cody. I hope I can modifiy it to fit on Ep. III helms. The Magnaguard's face looks like MegaBloks *n* . Its body is very good and I like the electrostaff (but why didn't they put the trans-purple cone on the outside of the staff-piece) *y* . Asoka's mold and print are very accurate *y* but the face print looks like a piece of crap *n* . Obi's torso print is good, *y* , the hair is okay, and the face I give a big *n* . I love Asajj's new hilts (wonder if they can attach, probably not), cloth skirt, and torso print, but her face looks like Palps...and not in a good way. Plo is okay. Rotta I don't know much about. I really like the new speeder bike and bacta tank. Too bad there are no gunner pods. Also I don't like the way the flickfire missiles stick up. The AT-TE has an ugly gap in the middle, but otherwise it's looking good. The new STAP is cool too.

I like the vehicles, but they seem more suited to Metru Nui. Here's my thoughts on each: 8698: Okay, I guess, but more effort could've been put into it. 8941: This looks more complicated, but it's boxy. The handlebars are a nice touch. "Rockoh" is a dumb name though... 8942: This one I really like. No boxiness, and it doesn't seem like blades are slapped on randomly like 8941 does. The pilot looks cramped, though. 8943: I like this one, too. I like the tri-wing design, and it looks sleeker than 8941.

That vehicle's really cool-looking *y* ! I love it! The cockpit's good and it looks like what I would want to use when traveling in ice.

You know...you maybe right. I hope not. I can't see anything, though, because it's black. On a second, closer glance, I do see some grey. Ugh :-X .

I doubt it. It seems to me that the set designers don't care that these are our cherished heroes.

The TLC one has a more accurate shape than this one, when compared to it, I think. I agree with Deinonychus, I think people think this looks better because it's grey. Compare with links in the first post and this. TLC's has a long engine pod thing, which is what the ref pic has, but the MOC has something like Vader's TIE's engine block, which isn't on the ref.

Star Wars is a priority for me. I prefer SW X-D . I have a couple cheap Castle sets, though. Also, I have a question. What are those flags under the username?

That's the same brand. The words are Korean.

It looks like the t-visor (the black) is shorter to me.

It doesn't look like a print. The shape of the kama sticks out too far to be a print. Also, Asoka's top lekku seem to be too flat. If you think that it's a Huttlet, compare:
