  1. Marvelous! Indeed, I'd buy that!
  2. Thanks for this review! Brickheadz are not really my cup of tea, but the Demogorgon is interesting. Regarding Eleven, I must admit that without the Demogorgon by the side I would have no idea who that figure was supposed to be.
  3. (emphasis added to quote) Seems like the most probable lineup guess to me. AT-AT would be great, but indeed it is not the right time - only ANH-stuff next year, I would say.. I sure would not mind a new UCS Falcon. It will be ten years since the last one. Preferably it should have an attempt at an interior. I am perfectly fine with hollow skeleton-only display ships in most cases, but in the movies we see the Falcon more from the inside than from outside. So many important scenes happen in there, it feels a bit sad when such a big kit is basically empty. Regarding "iconic" ships and such as mentioned elsewhere in the thread, I tend to agree that the original trilogy is far superior in this regard compared to the rest. But then I wonder how much this is influenced by nostalgia and the impact of hitherto unseen quality special effects work on young minds, effects that have become the standard we expect. (Recently I showed the original Star Wars to my lady, who only knew (and loved) the later Special Edition. She was surprised at how similar they were, as she had believed scenes like the trench run to be modern SE-additions, unfilmable in the 70s.) That being said, even assuming the quality and "iconicity" of the design to be equal once the rose colored glasses are removed, I have problems identifying any PT vehicles/locations that played such an important role as the standout OT vehicles/locations. There was always so much going on, leaving so little focus on each individual vehicle. Maybe the pod racers, but I do not see them as anniversary material.
  4. The knee-pads even look like decals.(?) There seems to be a thin rectangular edge around them.
  5. It is available in the European online LEGO shops now. :)
  6. You are right, there is a new video, and it is over a minute this time. The video shown by the player seems to be chosen at random, but here is the direct link to the new video file: http://cache.lego.com/upload/contentTempla...8CCACD2D6E1.flv
