I have a question for all of you, regarding the availability of 2009 sets...err everywhere. I went looking today, not very thoroughly but I went to Target and ToysRus (In the US, by the way) and there shelves were cleared, at Target there was nothing, however I did spot some Power Miners sets, that gave me a little hope. I went to ToysRus, saw more power miners sets but I did see the price tags for the AAT, RAS, both the battle packs, Ahsoka's starfighter, and Vaders Tie. So that means they were once there or will be there soon. However when I just checked the website they are all "out of stock" online. So I am asking you, are there any in your stores? Or is availability scarce everywhere? Anyway thanks!

Aayla Secura definitly, she is one of my favorite Jedi, and my favorite un-legoified for sure, and a Sease Tinn would be nice, but I don't want to get greedy!

From what I have seen the Drawbridge Defense fulfills all my great expectations and more, can't wait to see clearer pics of all and thank you!

I think it's clear I wont win but I didn't do it to win I did it for fun. I personally like Matn's, it was very creative, detailed, and well done, congratulations for making this fun all other competitors and well done to all. Merry Christmas!

I got some great things from my family even in the bad economy. Lego wise I got the AT-TE and the V-19 Torrent, as well as 2 green baseplates Some gift cards that I really didn't expect, yet am extremely great ful for A few great joke gifts from my parents that I know I will use everyday As well as Need For Speed Undercover from my Aunt and Uncle, Star Wars Battlefront 2 from my cousin and the DVD Star Wars OT box set from my other Aunt and Uncle. All though for our family this Christmas was particularly hard it still puts a smile on my face.

Thank you very much organizers, I barely enter any contests because of what ever miscellaneous reasons there may be but this one I couldn't pass up. It was my first MOC in quite a long while so hopefully it's not awful. I'm loving these large scaled entries that I've seen so far

Whew, first MOC in a good while, hopefully its not completely awful Well since I was limited to one picture I had to err...improvise so sorry its a little big It was a cold day during the EuroBricks Snow Box Derby when everyone wanted to see the members zoom by. In a private box there were many members trying to get a good seat, even poor Yoda was forced to clime a tree for the view. When all was quiet and the snow boxes were approaching quickly, two trouble makers burst out of no where. Two Snowtroopers that were on the naughty list jumped over the fence with Snow Boards in hand. They even knocked a poor knight off his feet and gave him a fright. What to do? What to do?

Haha this is perfect, because I was just getting sick of the Pirate skin and banner, and this is perfect. I love the troll with Spongebob I have to say, and Plo Koon doesn't look to shabby either :) Well done!!

I have to say I actually like the Solar Sailor, the grey dome on the back may actually be some sort of room for cargo or droids or something. Has TLC truly given us an interior for a small Lego space-craft? Or is it just to good to be true? Can't wait to see more pictures, and thank you all for posting them

General Solo has been officially Christmas-afied

I went to TRU on saturday and there was nothing except about a 100 Twilights, V-19s, and Magna fighters, there is some sale going on and its not bad, but no sign from anything '09 at my local stores. I'll probably wait until after christmas anyway, there may be some gift cards coming my way

Yes Pirate sets are out now but I suppose they really are considered a 2009 theme

Actually that seems about spot on, however if anyone got 10188 for the holidays it would probobly be there only gift I would add the AT-TE and the Pirates Soldiers fort to the list as well :)

We have the 2009 battle packs on Toysrus.com!! It is labeled in stock and says it can get there by the 24th! It doesn't say whether it is in stores or not but regardless its great news!! I don't believe this is old news, but if it is, just delete my post http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3326897 http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3326891

Your predicament is an interesting one Oky Wan, but glad to see its still there, and if you get to exchange it you actually get $10 back I have to say when I went to my TRU the other day and they were there so good luck with them being in stock at your local TRU.

Today I took advantage of the buy one get one half off sale at Toys R Us and picked up a Soldiers Fort and Shipwreck Hide Out, I absolutely love them both! They are my first Pirate sets and I only wish I can find a proper place to set them up with a good setting to do them justice.

Toys R Us, sale? I didn't know those two words could go in the same sentance! Thanks for the new, haha my mom will love this for christmas though! To bad they disclude Star Wars :(

Thanks for the comparison...and bursting my bubble I was wrong, I have the old one, but the new one looks great. Wish I had it, guess you just got lucky darthperson!

Well first of all, welcome! Yes we have seen those pictures before, but it does give us an idea of what these things will look TLC and Lego-afied. My guess is at least the Tank Droid will be CIS colors, whether or not the Solar Sailor is, I'm not entirely sure.

Haha good Sinner, well not for you I guess

I believe I sent mine Sinner, unless it didn't go through.

SAY WHAA??? Wow talk about a suprise I won something, on day one! That's great thank you thank you!! Looks like I won the 1237 Asimo Robot, I have no idea what on earth that is but hey sounds cool! I will PM Sinner ASAP, thanks a lot. One question, the main prize is on the Calendar itself, I don't see the robot on it (I google imaged it so I know what it looks like now, it's a cool looking little bugger ) So does that mean things such as the Green Grocer and Train set or prizes or are they just for show? Thanks again for the wondorous gift and the holiday spirit!!

I to was suprised to see the fleshie stormie heads, i didn't notice the astromech though, looking at it again though, it's the new one Just anothrt perk =]

I love all these Black Friday stories Well I didn't want to get up at 6 AM, I'm not exactly a morning person But I woke up at 7 and got to the nearest Target to see a local news team and camera crew outside the front door interviewig someone. Well I walked in and rushed myself to the lego section and looked and saw a gaping space staring at me, and my heart sunk Well I went to a Starbucks nearby and pumped my body with caffine. I decided I might as well head over to the Target Greatland that wasn't to far away, saying a few prayers on the way Well I got there and rushed to the Lego section and there it was another gaping hole, I didn't even bother to ask anyone this time I just headed back out to the car. As I was in the parking lot I got one of those feelings and I said to myselft "I'll just go back in and see if they restocked them," Well I went back in, walking slower and not breathing as deaply. I walked up and saw a lady putting three ISDs back on he shelf I gasped and grabbed it not letting go for dear life, they lady joked and asked if I needed a paramedic and said no and that I was glad I finally found it I am now so happy with it, I built it and love it, the only thing that angers me is the fact that Vaders Helmet put-er-on-er doesn't actually hold the helmet, I'll have to MOD it some how

I saw the shuttle in the episode, I don't recall it being blue and white but a grey however I could have just not been paying close enough attention. I think they could definitly do it, as it is somewhat shaped like the Imperial Shuttle, I'd say a nice $50 Seperatist Shuttle would be great!
