Wow, thanks for the memories. This was my first castle set. I am the same age as you so I must have been around 7 too. I can still vividly remember buying this at K-mart with my paper route money. Anyway, I probably still have it downstairs in my tub o' old castle. You've isnpired me to go and build it again.

Current Song is "Homeboy" by Maceo Parker

Nothing. I guess you just quoted me by accident.

Only what I've read a few pages back

...ok...?

I saw one on Bricklink for $335. Don't know how low you want to get it.

Cool, thanks.

Hey KimT, how much do you have to mutilate the front of the book to get the minifigure out?

Nah, I really have no interest. I'm more into just vehicles, not playsets/excuses to sell lots of minifigs. But I think I'm one of the few who has no interest in the Endor set either.

It wouldn't surprise me, since they made such a big deal out of him in the commercials leading up to the season finale. Maybe Ziro as well? They have the Jabba mold already, gathering dust.

I'm not sure if he's left his office in the TV show. It still could be a CW set though.

How does it compare to their other stuff? Megadeth lost me after Cryptic Writings, but I recently bought The System has failed and United Abominations. They are alright, but I know we'll never get the mid 80s back.

Lesser or fake (EU)? Anyway, this is my favorite: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?M=sw121 Darth Vader in (mostly) human form. So much anger and sadness.

I voted for the Republic Attack Shuttle. I like all the detailed play features, and it's a nice looking ship. With the weak OT sets this year (they seem to be good on minifigs but little else), I've been collecting a lot of clone wars sets. I may change my mind once I see the Tantive IV though. The pictures look like it will be good.

Here is a nice one by sigpro AT-AT I think it's minifig scale. If not, it's much bigger than the official LEGO one.

I saw this. Maybe homage to the scene in Attack of the Clones where Anakin's shadow kind of looks like Darth Vader. George Lucas said that was pure coincidence and he never intended it that way or noticed it.

Have been having a bad week so I had to do some therapuetic lego shopping. I just bought the 8016 Hyena Droid Bomber, but it still felt good. $20 well spent.

Couldn't they just use the clone face?

Wow, thanks for the news. That sounds like a lot of unnecessary minifigs, probably just to justify jacking up the price. In your opinion, is the vehicle an improvement over the 2006 Slave I?

Interesting. Palpatine's Shuttle - Would this be the same as an Imperial Shuttle I wonder? I don't remember the Chancellor toting around in a shuttle during the clone wars. Slave I - Boba or Jango is the big question, I guess. I can't see it being Jango's, since LEGO doesn't seem to be making anymore Attack of the Clones sets, but we've already had two Boba Slave Is (the last one not that long ago). I would get one if this is real, since I missed 6209. Clone Turbo Tank - Sweetness

Darth Vader's TIE, unless... a. you already have the UCS version of Vader's TIE b. you are nuts about the Tauntaun my $0.02

Looking at amazon.com, Regular vs. Library I have no idea why the Library would be more expensive though.

Yes, but I've read that there is a regular version of the book and a library version of the book. The library version will not include the minifig. So make sure you don't order one that says library edition (assuming you want the fig).

Congrats, Svelte. I don't have much else to say that hasn't already been said in this thread, but keep up the good work you've done in your other roles.
