Great shot Smokebelch. I like the first stormie's helmet being halved by shadow it looks really cool.

Great work as usual Legostein! Its nice to see some MOCs other than little minis. This is at a really good scale with the ISD and I feel it would look really cool with the rumoured midi scale ISD coming out this year.

Does it really matter if it ROTS or CW? really? I mean ROTS is still technically in the clone wars they have got it right but the minifigs arent in the style that we would connect with the Clone Wars. Leia doesnt have to be in a set every year. There are a lot of main characters that dont come in a set every year.

This may be the year I might try buy a few train sets. They seem to have a few trains coming out and track which would be really helpful.

Lego seem to be pretty good with providing great customer service for matters that could potentially hurt their reputation. You would think that someone would try to exploit their generosity (if they were that sick minded).

I reckon its a really good price for it. It may not have a lot of pieces but the set has a lot of minifigs and 3 of them have new pieces.

I agree especially when they complain about something being over priced. I have to pay nearly double here in New Zealand and they complain that its just $10-$15 more than it should be. I also cant buy the sets from an American store to get their prices because shipping makes up for the money I'm saving.

Yep there is a whole thread, And its 103 pages long! Yea I hate it when the staff dont know anything about there products. I dont think other people get it that much but the staff should be familiar with the products.

Can you only choose one of them? If I was to choose one I would go for Luke's Landspeeder but thats because I like OT better.

I think the price has to do what is relevant to today. Kids aren't watching the original trilogy every week and Lego just want to get ride the popularity of the clone wars and get a few more bucks out of it. They sure will get my hard earnt cash on the sets.

Sweet! I am definitely getting those sets they do look really incredible. Im really glad that they included C3PO into the landspeeder because I have been waiting for him to come out in a cheap-ish set and he has which is a great attraction to this set for me. The swamp speeder definitely looks great and the minifigs are really good. It will go nicely with the AAT that we got this year last year because it has got the same minifigs (a Jedi, Clone and a few droids) and they are different factions. Now all I need is more space to store them

With previous contests it has been a points system where you have 3 points and you can choose your favourites. Example: entry 1 - 2 entry 2 - 1 - entry 1 - 3 - entry 1 - 1 entry 2 - 1 entry 3 - 1

That would be great if you could because I really want to get them as soon as they come out! Also, off-topic: Legoman's profile page says that his group is validating. Maybe he is being promoted to a fellow? EDIT: Also, The republic swamp speeder and Luke's Landspeeder are on the S@H now. The swamp speeder is $59.99 and the Landspeeder is $49.99 which is a really great price for it. Its cheaper than the droid tri fighter! I guess its because its not clone wars so it wouldnt sell as much.

That will be really interesting but I feel they will just be CW. I cant wait to hear what they told you.

I just try and forget about it. I do get restless when it hasn't come on the expected date. I have only had a few orders off the internet any ways. I usually buy sets from stores

Why are you guys complaining that there isnt a lego store in your state? We dont even have one in the whole of New Zealand!

This is a great tutorial even though I dont need it myself it will sure help people that do. Thanks Big Cam

Mmm Croissants.. Have a great new year everyone!

Ha that would be pretty cool.

And Hamilton. Cash convertors did once have a huge box just generic lego bricks but when I went back to collect it, it had gone.

They are all great entries! I need to concentrate on these contests cause I just keep on forgetting to build mine.

I think you need to put more effort into it. I mean look at KimT's Diorama is just incredible! You need to do a bit of tiling or snotting to have the walls and floor nice and smooth to give the diorama a polish look. Keep working on it!

I feel it will be either a great game or really terrible and nothing in between. I hope the game brings more force powers and a longer story.

I think in order to get into the Clone Wars you have to watch Rookies. It may not be the best episode but it gives you an in depth look at the clones personalities and how making them different really gives more to the story (but I still would want them to be exact clones in the perfect world). The Ryloth Trilogy would be a good one to show because it shows you how the Jedi protect the innocent and help them liberate a species. The visuals are really amazing in these episodes and are a lot better than the first few episodes of the season. Hostage Crisis is a great episode because it really sets up the next season with introducing Cad Bane and his companions. The story is really great and being able to include that many characters into one episode was really amazing. Those would have to be my top episodes to watch.

Happy birthday guys hope you get some nice 2010 lego sets!
