Clone OPatra

I think the head flips up so that the AT-OT can fit in the Laat/c. The head is flipped up on the built set, but flipped down on the box. It would be awesome if the AT-TE fit also, but I doubt it because I think the AT-OT looks a bit smaller than the AT-TE. You never know though!

Have you all seen this yet? A new secret set shown at the Toy Fair! http://www.flickr.com/photos/brickjournal/...335230/sizes/l/ I haven't seen anyone post this link here in the last couple pages. If this is confidential and I'm not allowed to post it I'm really sorry.

I believe you also missed Cruncher's driver from Speed Racer

I don't understand why LEGO would not put figures in the MF. I'm sure it could fit one in there, and that would increase the playability, fun for kids, and draw of figures for minifig collectors. Although it's prelim, usually they have black blanks to show how many figures there will be, and this picture doesn't have those, so it looks definite on no figs. Apart from minis and USC, I don't think Star Wars sets should ever come without minifigures. Have there been any confirmations that the MF won't have figures, or that it will?

Just an observation. I think LEGO likes putting sticking out mystery features in cool and special sets. In last year's Death Star, it was that handle on the side that people wondered about for ages. Now in the Home One, it is that long technic piece. It adds to the drama and the discussion about the sets.

Is this a code anyone can use, or is it a special promotion depending on how much you purchase or something?

I hope LEGO decides to make a new mold in the end for the blue Republic Guards or whatever they are called, but I doubt it will happen. Using the clone helmet but in blue for them is similar to how LEGO used the regular clone helmet for the Ep3 pilots. Do you guys think the scout troopers will have a black head underneath the helmet or a new flesh version of the old scout trooper head? I seem to see a little coloring on the black part of one of them.

All the new watches are available from Shop At Home in most countries besides the U.S. I assume they'll come to the U.S. in a couple of months, hopefully.

I'd like to be in. I've already posted two reviews in the Star Wars forum, but I'd like to learn how to do it better! Do I need a certain number of posts before I can?

(Review has been updated with new pictures and content: November 10, 2009) I'm back with another review of an old set. Read down towards the bottom to understand the topic description. Set Title: Lightsaber Duel Set #: 7101 Theme: Star Wars, Episode I Minifigures: 2 Pieces: 50 Year of release: 1999 Price at Release: USD $5.99 (in a store) and $6.75 in the catalog (back when the price included the shipping) Buy it? Inventory? Bricklink Peeron INTRODUCTION Let me take you back to 1999, in a time that was very exciting for Star Wars fans, because after 20-odd years, a new Star Wars movie was finally coming out. The buzz about Star Wars was so great, a Safeway grocery store actually had this set, and that's where I got it. They'd never had a LEGO before, and they've never had one since. End of story, onto the review! INSTRUCTIONS The original box is long gone, but the instructions show what the box art looked like. Still had the good ol' System logo, and the EP1 logo. The dust storm caused by the speeder and Qui-Gon add to the excitement and make the art quite attractive. An inside look. No little movie stills since it's such a small set, I guess. Confused? Read my Landspeeder review. And the back, complete with alternative model ideas. I love how creative LEGO was with the alternative models back on all of the old sets. I wish they still showed stuff like this on the boxes, instead of just the play features. You also have to love the minifigures putting the set together. PIECES Let's start looking at what else came in the box besides the instructions. Oh yah, the pieces, all fifty of them (minus minifigures). There's some nice stuff here, especially for a tiny set: four antennas, four grilles in two colors, the tan seat piece, and that odd gray thing that used to show up from time to time. MINIFIGURES This set isn't bad on the minifigure end either. We get two cool characters, Qui-Gon and Darth Maul. This was the cheapest way to get both characters. Qui-Gon came in three other sets, and Maul only came in one other. Both have somewhat simple but lovely torsos (the only thing I disliked about the old Jedi torso was the yellow on it, couldn't make a satisfying Windu), intricate and fitting face designs, and great headgear. Yes, they're getting old, the capes are fraying . Did I say "intricate and fitting face designs?" Stare into those slightly misprinted egg-looking eyes of Maul and be wowed by his red-tattooed face. (Pardon those little dust bits, I don't know where those came from.) And now a showcase of Qui-Gon's hair! It's quite well-sculpted, and superb for hippies! ACCESSORIES The wonderful accessories included are two shiny Chrome Lightsabers (Qui-Gon's has some chrome rubbed off). And movie accurate props too, since we only ever did see one of Maul's red blades in this movie scene. Did LEGO plan it just like so, or were they being stingy with the red bars? We shall never know. SET - Speeder First, let's take a looksee at the better part of the set: Maul's speeder. It's too big and bulky, but LEGO wasn't into sleek little things back in 1999. Still, the color scheme is nice, and it at least reminds me of his tiny little speeder from the movie. I can only compare it to pictures of the new speeder from the Sith Infiltrator of 2007 (since I don't own the set myself), but I think the new one looks way better than this, and much tinier like the movie speeder. Then we stick Maul on the speeder. The gray wedge on the back actually looks like a nice headrest, but the handle-bars come up too high and the cape will get all scrunched up, like what happened in too many Batman vehicles. From the side the speeder only gets worse. It looks even blockier now, and you can tell how he has to lift his arm way up to reach the handlebars. Still don't believe me about the handlebars being too high up? Ok, take a look at this front on view. That gray thing is nice, but not exactly the right piece usage for this vehicle. SET - Moisture Vaporator Like most sets from 1999 or 2000, LEGO decided to throw some random funky thing in that either wasn't in the movie or just didn't make much sense in the set. I know that there are Moisture Vaporators on Tatooine, but I'm not too sure one appeared in this scene in the movie. Also, I'm not sure what LEGO based the build on, since it isn't too recognizable to me. Here's a side view, just for fun. It is nice and tall and pleasantly Tatooine-y, and some nice parts come out of it, but I must admit it is weird. Looks almost like something out of Classic Space except for the color scheme. COMPLETE SET Here it is all together. The Classic-Space-like Vaporator item and the high-handle-bars bulky speeder. Still, it isn't a bad set, it just isn't as cohesive for the money as, say, 7110 Landspeeder. But then again, what else could you do with the scene? (Do what LEGO does now, I suppose, not make this set at all since sets this small don't exist.) PLAY It wouldn't be a Clone O'Patra review these days without some play ideas. Well, her you go, but you'll need a part not included with the set… I think Qui-Gon got pretty thirsty after that tiring fight . (Here's where the topic description comes in) CONCLUSION It's summing up time. The minifigures are great, they've got chrome lightsabers, and they make the price wonderful. LEGO never seems to make such cheap sets with major characters anymore, which is too bad. Of course, you could have bought a lot of this set and swapped out Qui-Gon's head and hair to make a ton of Jedi. The speeder is too bulky and makes Darth Maul look slightly uncomfortable, but it's still great to have it in this set because it helps you recreate the movie scene. The moisture vaporator looks too much like an alien communicator or big water fountain, but it's cool to get the grill pieces in two different colors. For people who like to modify their sets, it would be difficult I think to modify the speeder with the pieces provided, but I'm less creative than some. RATINGS Price: 10/10 - Definitely worth it just for the figs. Parts: 7/10 - certainly a nice variety, but not a lot of them and not much to do with them ( there's always that flyer on the back of the instructions though ) Minifigures: 10/10 - Two great and scene appropriate figs in a small set. What more could you ask for? Build: 7/10 - I mean what do you expect from a small set like this. The build isn't the main attraction of this set anyway. Overall: 9.5/10 - a calculated average of the above figures gives it an 8.5/10, but I'm going to go with my gut and boost it up because of the minifigures. I hope you enjoyed it, and I have more old sets to come!

The original couple of sets with stormies from 1999 or 2000 had yellow heads. Then there were a few with blank flesh heads, and then they started having black heads, so far as I know.

Hi. I'm new here, and this is my first review. My image quality is not as hot as some others' are, but please try and forgive me. 7139 Ewok Attack Year of Release: 2002 Price at the Time: USD $12.99 Pieces: 119 Minifigures: 4 First off, we have the INSTRUCTIONS, which show the 2002 box design. An inside shot of the instructions (the picture makes the speeder look a little red, but it is brown in person) Now the MINIFIGURES. The two ewoks were new with this set. Both are OK, but giving the tan one a brown body is a bit strange and doesn't look great. Some paint on the mold (as will hopefully be in the upcoming Endor set ) would have been better. This was the third set to contain a stormtrooper (others were 7146 Tie Fighter and 7201 Final Duel II). The scouttrooper appeared before this set in the original Speeder Bike set and one of the minifigures-on-stands set. The Imperials look good, but the new dotted-mouth stormie looks better to me. Here are the Imps with their hats off. I love the printing on the Scout's head, much better than a black head would have been. Solid yellow for stormie. Now we continue on to the SET itself. There are three different components (close-ups and thoughts to follow), which keep the build fun and interesting. Speeder The same speeder that came in dark red in the original AT-TE and in white in the AT-AT. It's bulkier than the original design from 2000, and I remember that it was harder to have the Scout hold the handles on this one than it was on the other. The Scout here is not holding on because his arms are so cracked. He's got a megaphone without orange tip to shoot people with (it's on the other side of the speeder). Catapult Here's Mr. Tan Yub with his trusty bow and catapult to annoy the Imperials! It comes with two of those gray "rocks." I'm not sure what those things are at the other end, but they spin, so it's fun. The plants are a nice touch. Glider This is the only failing part of this set, as I will explain over the next three pictures. (pardon the blur) The glider is just too darn bulky. The ewok, which should be attached right to the wings, hangs far below them. If you pick up the glider and turn it, the ewok turns too! Lastly, LEGO threw on this thing, which is supposed to be a rock dropping device. By "device" I mean a holder that if you turn the glider over, the gray rock will fall out. I know it's supposed to be for playability, but it really isn't very playable. Well, since I'm all out of pictures, it's time to wrap things up. Overall, the set is quite nice. While quick, the build doesn't get old because of the three totally different components. It was nice to have a set without any main characters, you could stock up on this set and have a great Endor battle. Besides the glider, everything else works well: the catapult fires ok, the speeder is certainly swooshable, and you can bang the ewok and stormtrooper together with your little kid hands for lots of fun (or set up a nice ground infantry). I'm grading this from a perspective from 2002 Price: 9/10 - pretty good price per parts ratio Minifigures: 9/10 - only because the ewoks are just ok, but they were new, and so were cool. Build: 10/10 - it's not a huge set, but the build certainly fluctuates Overall: 9.3/10 - according to a calculated average I hope you enjoyed my review. If I forgot anything, or you have any picture requests, just say so and I'll do my best. I've got a bunch more 2000-2002 sets just waiting to be review, so if this review is ok, I'll do some more soon.

Hi! I'm new here on Eurobricks, although I've been reading this thread for a long time. I've been wondering, who is firing the catapult on the Endor boxart? It's not any of the Ewoks, and I don't understand why the catapult would fire by itself.
