This is very cool. Ancient Rome would be a great place for LEGO to go. You just need to add a mosaic to the wall

That's a really cool ship. The color scheme and everything works.

I got 7036, Dwarf Mine, my first castle set in 25 years I hope to be pleased by it!

Here is a shot of me. One of the only I'll post, I think. Currently I'm living in a sub-tropical area with my family, my baby is dressed up as a rabbit, as has become the custom. I spend a lot more time at home than at the beach though. But, this LEGO stuff is all over the globe, as this thread shows.

I've been using this name online for 10 years I'm old... Anyway, I'm a simple guy, and wanted a simple name. abcdefghi. No LEGO related name

I got one last week, and I quite like it. I think I got it through reviewing....

This is a late reply, but beautiful ship Wipeout was awesome, from the music to the Designer's Republic influence. You got it. Sharp job.

This ship is more famous as a LEGO ship than as a Star Wars one. It appeared in the first five minute of the Phantom Menace, then got blown up, but also, it is the precursor to the Rebel Blockade runner. In the Star Wars universe, red is the diplomatic color, and this ship is a bonanza of red. Half the LEGO I own I wanted to buy, and half I just had to buy. This falls into the second category. Was it what I wanted? Set#: 7665 Name: Republic Cruiser Theme: Star Wars Year: 2007 Pieces: 919 Minifigs: R2-R7, Republic Captain, Republic Pilot, Qui-Gon Jinn (Light Flesh), Obi-Wan Kenobi (young with hood and cape, light flesh, tan legs) Price: I paid 10,000 yen MSP: $90 U.S., £70 Peeron Brickset Bricklink From Lego.com The booklets Two big booklets, over 130 pages of building instructions An ad to take you waaaaay back to 2007 Four pages to display features Unfortunately, that ship on the right doesn't actually fly The Pieces This set has loads of gorgeous bright red pieces, with plates and pieces, discs and slopes. Enough technic blocks to support the heavy ship weight. Obi Wan, Qui Gon, a pilot and a captain, plus an R-unit. This set famously had the double Obi Wan head, so mine had the Qui Gon head in a separate sealed package, and I have two Obi Wan heads. The Jedi have nice capes that have held their shape up until now. The Build This ship is fairly heavy, so a fair amount of Technic is needed to support the weight. Lot's of pins in the early build. This is about 12 steps in, and the landing gear has been finished. About 20 steps in, the base is made. Everything will attach to this part. Then we move onto the nose. Notice that the black piece is slightly longer than the grey pieces. This is the escape pod deployment mechanism. The cockpit is built... And attached with an elastic band. When the hidden beige part is pushed, they spread out, and, in the underside, that black piece is ready to lock in the pod. That is then attached to the first build. Now on to the tail. This is a fairly flat area, but then the greebling comes... This has a pile of radar dishes on it, which apparently "are manned by two communications officers who specialize in deciphering strange languages and decoding complex alien signal pulses." By twisting the yellow knob the large dish above spins. The best you can do on an unarmed diplomatic craft The tail locks into the back with Technic pins, and the ship is no longer top heavy Next we add the hull. The captain monitors transmissions, while the R-unit hangs out with him. On the other side, we have storage for a mini ship and lock box we'll see later. Lastly, we have the pod where the Jedi get stashed. This is a slightly wobbly bit. The lid stays on simply through gravity. The Finished Product Wow Double wow :wub: It doesn't look so great head on, it loses some detail. On the other hand, it looks great from behind. Possibly, a bigger orange disc would have gotten a better engine feel. The overhead view is very imposing. This looks solid, and has a great shape. The pilot is very comfortable in his cockpit, ample room for him. You can barely see it, but there's a brown piece, that if you flick it, reveals little guns, but not flick fire missiles. And they pop out that grey piece. The pilot has this little ship to fly around on (too bad he didn't use it before the ship blew up) And his lock box with a pistol and binoculars. Another view of the highly greebled tail side. This Technic piece holds up the whole ship. If you pick it up anywhere else, it'll break something. The top is covered by a build that slides snugly into place, and comes off by tugging that little white piece. Surprisingly strong. Here is the beige release pin for the pod. One push, and gravity does it's business. The Final Verdict Design: 10/10 This is a beautiful ship with lots of detail. The red, white, and burgundy work great together, the ship is quite stable (if you hold it right), and has a few play features. Build: 9/10 This is a delightful ship to build (this was my third time ) It's surprisingly not repetitive, as most of the mirrored parts are built at once. Just a few hull parts are duplicated. There are difficult points with the round engines and the escape pod, as they can be wobbly and collapse when pushing pieces together. If you build it on a wood floor like I eventually did, it's not a problem. Playability: 8/10 It's not so great for kids. First of all, it's heavy, so you won't be flying it around unless you want a workout. There are no guns, so the kids would have to want to have a diplomacy battle I just put them up on my mantle, and I quite like the pull-away cover on the hull, plus the escape pod mechanism is brilliant. Minifigures: 9/10 For the price, they could have thrown in some battle droids or something, but I'm happy to have the Jedis here, and I used the R-unit with my X-Wing when Wedge is piloting it, and give R2 a break Price: 10/10 A great price, no complaint. Near that 10 cent/piece sweet point, plus a fairly rare color (bright red) and some rare minifigures. Overall: 9/10 Actually, 10/10 for me. I don't recommend this for a kid to play with. It strikes me as a mix between the regular Star Wars Lego series and the UCS. I wish I had an UCS Blockade Runner to compare it to. But, as an adult collector, this is the most mature ship in my collection, and the least toy looking. For me, that's an incredible job on TLG's part. This is not a famous ship, so I get the feeling that it was a labor of love on the part of their designers. Great. This is a 2007 set, no longer in stock from LEGO, but still available here and there (Toys R Us Japan is selling them for 10,000 yen right now). I strongly recommend picking this up while it's available if you haven't already. "I have a bad feeling about this." Cheers all.

That looks even better than I thought. I seriously considered buying this last year, but the price is too steep for such a small set.... But it looks great

The Beach House, wouldn't we all like a full sized one? Or three? I'm pretty much a Star Wars LEGO guy, but every now and then a different series catches my eye. The concept behind the creator theme is great; cheaper sets with multiple builds. Unfortunately, a lot aren't at a mini-figure scale, so they don't hold any interest to me. But this set, for some reason, the color, the shape, I really really wanted to get it. How is it? Set#: 4996 Name: Beach House Theme: Creator Year: 2008 Pieces: 522 MSP: $29.99 U.S., £19.55, 5,775 yen (but less than 4,000 on Amazon ) Peeron Brickset Bricklink From Lego.com The Booklet This comes with three books, one for each build. No action shots here The Pieces There is a fantastic variety of new pieces here, for me. Very common everyday pieces, windows, slopes, corners, and grates. I don't quite know what to do with them, but they seem really useful. They were all a welcome addition to my collection. One gripe though, the black slopes seem to have different manufacturing processes. The 8-stud long ones are perfectly smooth, while the two and four-stud ones are textured. I saw the same thing in the Republic tank set. I suppose TLG is shifting from one style to the other, but it'd be better if they could keep sets consistent within themselves I tried to photograph it, but black pieces barely show up, much less the texture of them. Build 1 The main set is the best of the three. It uses 99% of the pieces, so it clearly was the main set. I think the tree was thrown in after though, to give some pieces for the other sets to use. This set has some great features, the satellite dish, the barbecue... The back's alright, nothing special. Interesting though is that there is a fireplace inside to go with that chimney The other side. I really like the balcony and the sky light windows. The mailbox is very classy too. A shot of the balcony, with its own light, a nice touch. The large window opens up so you can put minifigs in. The detail is great, including the railing down the stairs. The patio has nice details, down to the flowerbeds. The barbecue is amazing, The tree is alright, not amazing. I really like the mailbox though, simple sleek design. Best of all, the roof easily comes off, so you can put mini figs inside. The interior isn't overdone, but the stairs and fireplace do a good job. Very few pieces are left over after this build. "Hey, you look a little familiar..." Build 2 This is the three-story house, and frankly, I didn't care for this much. It looks alright, but it doesn't work as well as it should. The rooms are tight, and there are no stairs. It just doesn't make sense. This is a very thin building. To further make this less satisfying, the back is open. I would have much rather had the three levels come apart than this. Further disappointment is that the yard is mostly bare, except for the flowerbed. Not so exciting. This area looks nice though. It looks like a real architectural shape. I don't know what this is on the first floor On the second floor, this room has a computer and chair, which is cool. The third floor seems to be a chair and ottoman. The balconies look nice enough, but you can't open the windows. This set has the most pieces left over. "How did you get up there?" "I don't know, there's no staircase." Build 3 This is the cafe. It looks great From the side it's alright, nothing spectacular. The back has a service entrance, and a large window. The other side has a nice bench and the same table as the first build. The window opens, but the roof doesn't come off. You can see the cafe, but my hands are too big to get in there The book shows this great cafe, which is pretty much inaccessible A medium amount of extra parts. "It's unfortunate that in order to take a picture of this cafe, we had to rip off the ceiling and doors." "Tell me about it, I haven't even paid the mortgage yet." The Final Verdict Design: 10/10 I would've given this 9/10 just for the first build, but the third build rockets this set up to the perfect category. Build: 9/10 Building walls is never so exciting, but this set has small walls. I learned a lot of neat techniques on this set. Playability: 8/10 It does the job it's supposed to, it's a beach house. But the other two builds are really display oriented, so they lose some points. Price: 10/10 A lot of good pieces for a low (near 5 cents/piece) price, this is an awesome deal. Overall: 9.9/10 I want to give this a perfect score sooo much, but the second build just holds it back The set would have been a 10 without it. But this is a fantastic set, and I recommend you pick it up while it's around. The beach house is a really attractive set, one that should captivate non-fans of the line (like me). It's got lots of little details, and a great variety of detail. A great mid-sized set. Cheers all.

Sharp review, have I seen it before? I like the shots here. I have one or two of these at my parents house, but I haven't seen it in years. The design is pretty good, it hasn't changed that much with the current model, though playability has improved a lot (you don't have to take off the head now). So TLG had another winner in the early sets. I remember these being so cheap, I wish they'd release them stand alone again.

I quite enjoyed this thread, good job!

Great review, great looking set. I think it'll be my first of the castle line.

My first 2009 ship. I'd never had a Mace Windu before, and I don't mind the Clone War face designs, so I was really looking forward to it. It looks the best of the 2009 first half Clone Wars sets, at least in the catalogue. How does it hold up after it's built? Set#: 8019 Name: Republic Attack Shuttle Theme: Star Wars Clone Wars Year: 2009 Pieces: 636 Minifigs: Mace Windu, Clone Pilot, Clone Trooper (all Clone Wars versions) MSP: $59.99 U.S., £48.95 Peeron Brickset Bricklink From Lego.com The Box Standard Clone Wars box, mini-figs are featured, and a nice little bit of action is displayed. The back shows the set features as well as the other sets available at the same time. The Booklet Two books. This set has the piece inventory for each step, a feature I like. 10th anniversary ad on the back of one, the old survey on the back of the other. Nothing shocking There are two instruction pages to show the features. The Pieces This set has a nice balance of big and small pieces, and is half in the traditional Republic burgundy and white, the majority of the rest in grey with a bit of yellow. The parts themselves aren't so rare or fantastic. I like the cockpit piece. This weird white brace piece is used for the legs, there are a bunch of these nice lime-colored pieces, and the see-through aqua engine parts will be useful as greebling. There are three minifigs. I already have loads of clones, so they are almost like battle droids to me now . This is the main incentive to pick up the set, especially if the ship design doesn't turn you on. I quite like the cartoonish illustration on his chest, as well as the metallic handle of the saber, plus the purple color. The Build I just reviewed the Slave I ship, and compared to that ship, this one is much simpler, step by step. By the twelfth step, it wasn't so far in. It seems aimed at either younger audiences, or just more user friendly. Very clear instructions anyway. At the 24th step. the bomb drops (in black) have been put in, and the support of one wing too. This is facing back to front. 36 steps in, the main part of the frame is complete, with smooth ends to allow the top to open. About 46 steps, essentially the interior is finished. Most steps are just 2-4 pieces, so it's kind of slow The numbers start over again for some reason, as the roof gets started. Here, the sides have been added, and the black swing locks are in place at the bottom of the picture. Starting into the second book, the launch mechanism is made in about 20 steps. This is an interesting build, there is a button on the back to push the flick fire missiles, with an elastic in place to reset it after, so you could flick them right after each other if you liked. They shoot out that hole there, which looks really good. The cockpit is fastened in a rather weak way. I really like the pattern of the wing, using so many panels creates a realistic effect, and is varied on the underside. And so it is, we reach The Finished Product The wings are up when at rest, and down when in flight. Head on, it looks pretty good, and you can see a connection to the Imperial Shuttle. The ship has a really nice silhouette. Unfortunately, the ship can't be displayed with the wings down without holding it. A set like this really could have used a stand. So, I've made one! The landing gear is a really weak point for the set, they're not well designed at all. Except for the landing gear, it looks great from behind. The underside is nothing special, and could have been done much better. The burgundy on the wings help make it look better though. Features The firing button works great, it really pushed the missile out, and the launch spot is in the ship, so they just magically pop out. Really well done. The cockpit is utterly un-greebled. The shape is great, the A-shape is really cool, but the interior is nothing special. "You know how to fly this?" "No clue, you?" "Aw well, what can you do?" The inside isn't much better. Just a seat. I've seen a MOC or two that improves this a lot. It also has a "light saber holder" which always bugs me since it's exactly what the characters wouldn't use. Mace isn't so happy inside here. The back jets do look really nice, and the technique to get them to sit securely at a near 45 degree angle is quite neat. The bombs work really nicely too though. These grey panels are connected to the black switch at the left. Twist it and gravity will do the rest. The bombs also drop one at a time. Two are loaded. One gets dropped, at the same time releasing the second. When the switch returns, the second is now ready to drop. The Final Verdict Design: 8/10 Some of this ship is really amazing; the wings, the cockpit design, the firing mechanisms... Then some of it looks so unfinished; the interiors, the underside. It really seems like this was rushed out, and is one of the poorest overall Clone Wars ships I've seen. The colors, well, I don't know. At first I thought it was really gaudy, then it looked really cool and retro, and then back into ugly again. The color scheme is pretty out there. I think in a few years though, this will look much better. Ugly design usually looks much better years later. The 8 score here is because what's cool here is very cool and makes up somewhat for the uncool parts. Build: 7/10 It's a little boring, but not terrible. The cockpit was my favorite part. Playability: 9/10 This would be fun, I think. You can hold it with one hand, and release the weapons on the other. Also, this set seems really MODable. There is a lot of room to improve this ship, and a good variety of pieces. Minifigures: 8/10 Three figures is a fair amount, and you get Windu. I'm satisfied there. Price: 9/10 It seems fair, a good price for the pieces and figures. Overall: 8/10 This is an interesting but disappointing set. In no way is it bad, it just seems to need a lot more to make it a great set. I would've rather seen Lego make this a massive, 1000+ piece set. If you've seen it appear in the Clone Wars, it's bigger than the Republic Gunship. That would have made this a perfect set, and allowed the space to fix up the interior. Cheers all.

Looks good! I'd love to see updates of the pod racers. Can you finish the second pod racer with the pieces in Watto Junkyard? The beige pieces look about the same as the pod racer frame.

This would be a great set new; the speeder bike and the Tusken Raiders are both lovable

The 'force push' clear stand is an interesting idea. Cool.

I just bought it in December '08! It's not too late!

I would like a C3PO. I never got that one

Near the end of my review week, I will review a favorite! Set#: 6209 Name: Slave I Theme: Star Wars Year: 2006 Pieces: 537 Minifigs: Boba Fett, Dengar, IG-88, Bespin Guard Price: I paid $90 U.S. MSP: $50 U.S. Peeron Brickset Bricklink From Amazon I had to have this ship! I debated it for a long time, I even started a thread about it. Boba Fett is one of the most popular characters in the Star Wars series, so this ship has gotten expensive, and will only get more so. I bought an unopened one with my Christmas money last year. But is it really worth it? Let's find out! The Pieces The ones that really stick out are the large brown slopes (that would be good for making a Tatooine ship someday) and the really beautiful olive green pieces. The cockpit window is nice too. There's no stickers, and only one little printed piece for a control panel. The mini-figures are fantastic. I was really happy to get a Dengar mini! He was a lame character, so who could've expected they'd make him a mini-fig. There is a familiar IG-88. Strangely, neither Dengar nor IG-88 ever had anything to do with the Slave I in the movies. The Bespin Guard is alright, and carbonite Han is, well, a black block. The IG-88 model was redone as Assassin Droids in this year's battlepack. The Slave version is just a bit shinier, and has a brighter orange (IG-88 on the left) Boba Fett is the same as Jango from 7153, but his head has no paint job. His helmet is cut open, so the black is actually the head. It looks good, and creates more depth in the model. The Instructions/ The Build The instructions are medium-difficulty. I had a little trouble telling the gray from the dark gray from the black. Occasionally, I searched for a piece before realizing I was looking for the wrong color. Also, especially in the early parts, a lot of pieces are added at a time, so it's easy to overlook a piece, but nothing too difficult. About 12 steps in, the basic sleek shape is set. Space is left on the sides for the moving parts. Another 10 steps in, and the main weapon has been put in the center. The gray part on the right (left of the gray slope) is the shelf Han will be placed on. 12 steps later, the cockpit has been placed in, and is connected to the wings. When the wings pivot, the cockpit moves too. No Boba! It's not ready yet! Get out! Around step 45, the center gun is now locked in place, hideaway missiles have been placed in. A few steps later, it's The Finished Product A thing of beauty Head on view. Back view. We can see Boba at the controls. As we tilt the wings, he swings backwards. The set has 3 places to open up, a large spring loaded gun is next to the cockpit, missiles on either side pop out, and two guns are tucked away behind the turrets. Does he have enough firepower The black switch on the side opens the compartment for Han. On the opposite side is a similar switch to release the central gun. Han is ready for Jabba now. One last part opens up to drop bombs, though I don't exactly know how you drop bombs in zero g Yes, that's a big gun! The underside has a nice design too, lot of propulsion going on here. I also like the circular designs. A father is proud. The Final Verdict Design: 10/10 This has all you might look for in a set; lots of details, nice color, and an interesting build. The switches work perfectly, and the cockpit-wing movement works great. Beautiful job. Build: 9/10 Nothing is boring here, and the only complaint is that the instruction book is sometimes difficult to follow. It took about an hour and a half to build. Playability: 10/10 It has a hideaway spring loaded gun, lots of mini hideaway guns, plus the wings right themselves through gravity, making it really flyable. Minifigures: 10/10 Four figures and Carbonite Han. Bounty Hunters are always cool, and this set gives you three of them. Very happy. Price: 10/10 $50 is a deal for this set. I'm used to Japanese prices (this was probably $80 or more new in Japan, and sells for over $160 here now). I bought it through Bricklink, and was totally fine paying $90 plus shipping for it. It was a great Christmas present for me. Overall: 10/10 This is a great set, and, unless it gets rereleased (2016?) it's only going to get more expensive. It's one of those things where the stars are in alignment... a fan-favorite character gets a set which is well-worth the hype. Cheers all.

Set#: 4486 Name: AT-ST & Snowspeeder Theme: Star Wars Year: 2003 Pieces: 76 Price: I paid 1000 yen MSP: $4 US Peeron Bricklink Brickset Part four of four in my mini review series! The AT-ST and Snowspeeder debuted in The Empire Strikes Back and were favorites of mine growing up. I've liked the LEGO models of them in the past, but not been entirely thrilled. This set is about the same, nice but not mind-blowing. The Package The Pieces The pieces here are a little bit Technic style, since both vehicles need some pieces to fit at right or odd angles. There are three printed pieces, but there was a spare of the Snowspeeder's printed piece. The Promotion The set has 1/4 of a tie bomber, shown here. The Ships The Snowspeeder The build on this is really really simple, and it's the smallest mini ship I've seen. It's about two fingers by two fingers big. The tube connects the wings to the ship, and they pretty naturally rest at that angle. I think the tubes would be a little better if shortened. The vents are a nice touch though. The AT-ST This was definitely one of my favorite toys as a kid. Though the set looks nice, it doesn't work so great. It's built in two parts that snap into each other. When built, it appears fairly accurate. The legs jut out at the back a little more than they should, but the head is attached at the front to compensate. The back view looks good too. The set is slightly asymmetrical, with the guns on either side being different. The build of the head is quite interesting. Pieces are locked in at 90 degrees to create the panels on either side. This is clever design. My complaint here is that the legs are sort of unstable. Those joint pieces are not all even, and some are tight and posable and others are loose. I've seen the same in other sets before, and those pieces aren't great to use as stands for even a small set. Also the head is really loose, and if the legs aren't perfectly balanced, it swings around, because it wasn't centered. These pics took twice as long as all the other mini ships because I had to reposition it a lot. Even now, on my shelf, it's facing backwards <leaves and comes back> Fixed! Together, they make a good pair, though I wonder if the proportion difference is accurate. Certainly the big LEGO versions are at a different scale. The Tie Piece The bomber part of the TIE is here, as well as the main support But, as this is the fourth of four, I can now finish the TIE Bomber TIE Bomber The Bomber (or double TIE as I called it as a kid) has a section for the pilot, and one for the bombs, I guess. It uses two printed pieces. The pilot section on the left looks fine, but the clip at the front of the right side seems a little random to me. It is movie accurate. The twin engines on the back look nice. The extra parts... Lots, including a little printed one. The most of the four sets. In action! Final verdict Design: 6/10 The Snowspeeder is super simple, and the AT-ST isn't entirely stable. The points here are for the construction of the AT-ST head, which is quite smart. Playability: 7/10 It recreates a scene from Empire, but actually the AT-ST only appears for two seconds or so. Pairing it up with an AT-AT would have been much much more fun. Price: 10/10 No complaints there. Build: 8/10 The Snowspeeder is a bit boring, but the AT-ST has some interesting techniques I'd like to master. Overall: 7/10 Maybe I'm mini'd out, but this is the weakest of the 4 sets. Possibly TLG felt the same way, and that's why it has some extra pieces, as well as the most important piece of the TIE Bomber.

I'd love to have one of those. I 100% missed that ship.

You'll have to do a MOD and show us how you'd do them better

A lot of these sets are still around... I got a lot of 2006 sets (and a few earlier) for reasonable prices. The two slightly hard to get ones on my Brickset list are 6205, the V1, and 7259, the Arc. Both seem to be grossly overpriced now. the motorized AT-AT and Ultimate Milenium, I want, but I'd have nowhere to put them

Set#: 4484 Name: X-Wing Fighter & TIE Advanced Theme: Star Wars Year: 2003 Pieces: 76 Price: I paid 1000 yen MSP: $4 US Peeron Bricklink Brickset Part three in my mini review series! This is of course the X-Wing and TIE Advanced, and came with 1/4 of a mini TIE Bomber. The X-Wing was also released identically in a Kabaya set, which I don't have, so I was glad to get this. I wouldn't mind having two though. If I could go back in time, I'd buy a few of these and make a mini squadron. The Package The Pieces The set has 4 printed pieces, four pieces with almost identical prints, two mirroring the others. The only other unusual pieces were the clear pieces used for the X-Wing TIE cockpits. The Promotion The set has 1/4 of a tie bomber, shown here. The Ships The X-Wing It's a fairly simple build, but I like how the wings snap on. The wings are folded. And open. The overhead view cuts a nice silhouette! Here is a clear view of those printed pieces. And again, it looks great in 3/4 view. The side view is good, but it would be better if it balanced parallel to the surface. The back view looks along the lines of the larger model. One last side view. Is that gray stud Artoo? The TIE Advanced The build on this is really neat, maybe more interesting than the finished product. Some studs stick out at 90 degrees. They're locked in above with a three-stud piece, and those grabbers on either side lock in between studs on the wings to keep the wings steady. All together. The 3/4 view looks nice here too. The blue piece on the back makes a nice engine. The overhead has a nice silhouette too. The Tie Piece It is a wing piece, identical to that of 4485 The extra parts... Not so much, the fewest of the 4484-4487 sets. All together Final verdict Design: 10/10 Between the iconic design of the movie ships, and the accuracy of these mini models, this is a 10. Compared to the other minis of the 4484-4487 series, it feels like equal effort went into both ships, not a big one and a little one. Playability: 10/10 A perfect pair. Have a deep space dog fight with two stable ships. I don't do that myself, but I like to pose them behind my computer, and they look great together. Great. Price: 10/10 If I saw this for $4 I'd buy two or three. Build: 9/10 They both have interesting builds to create ships with unusual angles. The TIE Advanced, though shorter, was the more interesting build for me. Overall: 10/10 This is the set everyone would like to have. The X-Wing and TIE Fighter(s) have been released multiple times by the TLG because their fundamental design and popularity, and this is a solid set that continues the tradition. Any Star Wars/LEGO fan should track this set down.
