Raphy

Here's my entry for the sailor! It's the back of a white motorboat in a harbor, probably. The shallow waters reveal the ocean floor with two fish, rocks, and more! :D Here's the brickshelf gallery: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=399630 The sailor would be standing on the back of the boat, holding on to the flagpole while looking out grandly to the mighty sea in his powerful telescope. :P

Wonderful review, but I suggest you watch the movie for the details ;)

What's sad is that Prince Wheeliam and the Queen don't look anything like their counterparts in the movie.... Prince Wheeliam is supposed to be a 2005-10 Bentley Continental and the Queen is an older Mk-something. I'll have to make my own.

It's not unique, tons of other TTs have used it. But, if your TTs come from Brickmaster, you're missing something - they're lower quality, and I'm not talking about the plastic, they're not as full of parts and the designs are worse. I'm not accusing ya of anything, I'm just saying, you should buy the good quality ones and see what it's all about. Also, the ones that come in the larger "playsets" are even better quality.

Actually, you'd be surprised by what techniques they sometimes put into the TTs. They've gained an unfortunate <insert that tiresome argument> reputation and that's why everybody assumes they're just five parts.

Speaking of the Jet Copter wings, has anyone noticed the dog paw design by the "73" on them? Wonder what that's about.... I don't know why the Jet Copter is generating less interest, I prefer its design to the HQ personally....

The building is great, but the best part, the cherry on the icing is definitely the sports car. I love it.

Would it be possible, if one won, to wait a while until some of the sets one wanted were released in the very near future (couple of weeks or so) on S@H? I'm sure a lot of people here like the thought of Alien Conquest, Cars, continuations of current themes etcetera.

This is wonderful. Dammit. :P

"Ha, I was right...(-; I heard about this set a few weeks ago for the first time, and in the last days several times so I decided to post here.... and our dream seems to come true! Love that set!! But I would also love to see: 8,000 pieces set AT-AT Really big Jabbas Palace with tons of minifigures New really big Cloud City Lets hope we will see some more sets this year!" -Sir von LEGO Sure, that sounds awesome, but not everyone has tons of money.... one has to think about that too.... :/

Pro'lly isn't the real one, if you look at this picture I posted, the railing for the bucket is flex tube, not joints and pins. There are all kinds of other differences too, for example, the white plate at the base of the crane on the "fake" one. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=4938741 But then again it does have a TLC stamp on it, so I don't know.

aahh. Guess we'll have to wait and see :)

What do you guys think the price will be for 8081? http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=4969627 $59.99?

You seem to suggest that everyones' collections reach critical mass.... :P

Please fall apart, LEGO dress. ;)

You errrred in your assumption ;)

Methinks we need a Carbonite Freezing room. That would really be cool - with a price tag around $70, maybe, with new Han, Leia, Chewie, Vader, new Boba Fett, a couple of Stormies and a couple of those little grunty dudes that personally froze Han. With nine minifigures, that might be asking a lot, but it's possible, isn't it?

You know you are a fan of LEGO when.... ....you can list all the current LEGO themes available. ....you accept it as a serious art form and reject both the scarves, turtlenecks and goatees, and also the ridiculous, babyish technique abbreviations like "SNOT" and "BURP". I hate artsy people but jeepers criminy, dignity much? (something that I totally lack.... YEEEEE-HAW) ....you wake up in the morning and you find them at your side in bed. :P

I'll try :D

I'd really love to see the return of Town Race :D

I just got such an epic idea, myew hwar hwar hwar :D

Here are some new set ideas for a jungle theme: Sam Sinister's Scout - $2.99 One of Sam's goons, a scout, spying on the heroes (not included). Includes spy equipment (camera, binoculars, etc). Mac's Motorcycle - $2.99 Mac's prized, indestructible motorbike makes a return in this impulse, in jungle livery, with various jungly accessories. Amazonian Shrine - $4.99 An ancient shrine discovered by Professor Hale (with obligatory diamonds). With plants around it, and a snake (also obligatory). Parrot Pursuit - $9.99 Jake and Mac chasing the last guardians-of-something-ancient-and-awesome - super-colorful Amazonian Ara parrots, with valuable somethings in their beaks. The parrots would be new molds (obviously). The heroes would be chasing them with wings made from huge tree leaves, and they'd have jumped off a cliff, gliding after the birds. Risky Crossing - $19.99 Mac and Helena have to cross a fierce river with very strong currents, and the only way across is along a precarious rope! The heroes have to grab the rope and get to the other side upside down with all their gear. Jungle Chase - $29.99 A chase between Helena, Jake and two of Sam Sinister's goons? The heroes could have a little off-roader, and Sam Sinister's goons would have a larger truck. Sort of like the Indy chase set. Could come with Amazonian monkeys. ???? - $39.99 ???? Amazonian Temple - $69.99 And finally, the temple! A sort of flagship set, like the Pharaoh's Quest pyramid - but instead, with no mythological enemies. Sam Sinister is racing Jake to the treasure. There are vehicles around, and Helena is sword-fighting some goon. The other heroes help on somehow while another goon pointlessly races onto the scene for obligatory action for the box art. Let your imagination fill in the scenes, if you want. I know they don't make impulses anymore (probably), but one can dream, right? :D Anyways, maybe the villain wouldn't be Sam Sinister, but his son, that would fit in with Jake Raines. (Look at the first letters in the names of the impulses.... see wut ai did dere? ;P) I need some ideas for the $40 set....

Do you think it's possible TLC will release a stand-alone X-wing for around $29.99? What about a new stand-alone Y-wing? That would be great. :D

Awesome! Count me in, guys. Finally a contest with unlimited entries. :P

Hey guys, I need some help. On Amazon, it's possible to buy a Slave I (3rd-gen) for $62.99. Should I get it, or would it be possible to find it cheaper somewhere?
