    Done. Thanks for keeping us informed, CopMike.

    When the first pictures of Bionicle '15 leaked, Kopaka immediately went to the top of my must haves list. I do have to say, after reading all three reviews on the large sets, Tahu and Onua (especially Onua ) have joined Kopaka near the top, but the Master of Ice is still the first set I will be buying. Excellent review, VBBN. Thanks for writing it.

    I picked up 75046 Coruscant Police Gun Ship, 75052 Mos Eisley Cantina, 75055 Imperial Star Destroyer, 75058 MTT and 10236 Ewok Village while on vacation. I've built all but the Village and so far the Police Gunship is my favorite. I'm not disappointed with any of them, though. The minifig selection is fantastic.

    I've only built one of them so far, the TIE Defender, but I haven't taken photos of it yet. I have the pieces for the standard TIE, but haven't starting building it yet. Far too much going on at home to devote time to it. My plans were to order parts for the ones I thought turned out best. The Defender, standard TIE, Lander and Lancet, maybe a few more. Then I will order enough pieces to modify those models to create the others. The standard TIE is the basis for a lot of the variants, so quite a few should be easy once the TIE Fighter is built. As for the windscreen piece, I own the TIE Advanced, and I bought a second windscreen several years ago (before the price became outrageous). My plan is to move those windscreens around for photography, and leave the windscreens off for display. Not ideal, but far, far cheaper, and I also get a chance to admire the cockpit and interior details.

    Thanks for the reminder. In actuality, those 3 x 1s aren't supposed to be there. They should be the newer 2 x 1 curved slopes, which weren't available in LDraw when I modeled that set (but are available now). They should've been mentioned in the errors section. There are a few other sets that have the same substitution (Ewok Village and the most recent RGS spring to mind). I'll go back and make the corrections soon.

    Taking a quick look at Bricklink, it seems that the cheapest complete used set goes for about $90 USD, while the Watto fig is going for around $70 USD. I think It's safe to say buying the set as a whole will be the least expensive route. I can't answer the second question, though you could always Bicklink the parts to "complete" the second racer.

    It's funny, but the Mistika/Phantoka sets were what finally put me into a Bionicle collectors frenzy. I suppose part of it is that I had no pre-conceived ideas of what the Toa should look like. I didn't know what Lewa Mata or Lewa Nuva looked like, so Lewa Phantoka looked good to me. That and he had a seriously oversized, bad-megablocks sword. BTW: why were those sets called Pantoka and Mistika? I don't recall those terms ever appearing in the story.

    My first Bionicle was Gahlok, which I received for Christmas. At that time, I wasn't really into Bionicle at all. A few years late, I bought Carapar and Mantax at 75% off. I couldn't resist, even tough I still didn't "get" the theme. A few months later I bought Gadunka, and that set finally pushed me over the edge. Now I am a full blown collector, and I am attempting to finish off my collection via "Bricklinking" (buying sets piece by piece off of Bricklink) The latest sets I have completed are the six Turaga.

    Odd, isn't it? Just because I didn't like the PT movies, doesn't mean I don't enjoy the Clone Wars in general. I'm drawn to the vehicle designs, and I love the variety of Jedi available. Besides, most of the OT sets are rehashes of sets already released, mostly with superficial or minor changes.
  23. Walter Kovacs
    I am bound and determined to collect all of the Star Wars sets, so I find it necessary to prioritize them. My priorities go as follows: 1. Any set containing Clones. 2. Any set containing Jedi I don't have yet. 3. Sets containing battle droids and CIS units. 4. Sets with Imperial troops 5. Sets with Rebels in them 6. MINI themed sets (includes the micro-fighters, despite the minifigs that apply to a category above; I think the sets are ugly ) 7. UCS scaled sets (very cool looking, but too expensive to put higher on the list) 8. Technic sets (I only need three: the Stormtrooper, Droid Developer and Dark Side Developer) 9. Miscellaneous OT (Landspeeders, Jabba, etc.) 10. Miscellaneous PT (Jango's Slave I, etc.) As for displaying the sets, the only ones I keep together are Clone wars era vehicles and UCS sets. All others I build once I get them, then take them apart a few months later to conserve space. The interesting thing is that I am a die-hard OT fan. I despise Episode II like the plague. But the Clone Wars era vehicles are very appealing, and I've always liked the Jedi.

    I use the windscreen from the UCS TIE Advanced - 10175 in all of the models (or it's older cousin, the windscreen from the UCS TIE Interceptor). They are going for a small fortune right now on BL. Fortunately I bought one years ago when the price was much more reasonable (plus I can borrow one off of my 10175 ).
