  1. Posted my soNE and sorted some old pieces I found in the attic.
  2. Great sone! What really draws me in is the Junkyard like atmosphere you've created through the use of random, cluttered objects. I also quite like the SNOT technique you've used to create the base.
  3. ^^ Yes, a bit like Jabba's Palace and the Rancor Pit. Its also a lot easier for us Collectors, instead of spending 200 odd pounds on a set, much easier to spend around £100 on about 2 sets released in different waves, much easier on my budget. It also means collectors can own the Things they want, lets say foe example the freezing chamber and dining room were released in one set and the duel room in another, if a collector liked the freezing chamber but not the duel room he could buy the freezing chamber and MOC the duel room.
  4. ^^ Thankyou! Both Thanks for the tip as well, I'll try and edit this tomorrow so the images appear.
  5. Thanks for the feedback much appreciated As far as the story is concerned, I see where you got confused, basically Jedi had been sited in that particular area so battle droids were sent to investigate and they were questioning citizens as to whether they had seen the Jedi.
  6. Hello all, my first sone here, enjoy, Me and Jay continued searching Lotho Minor, the rebel ship was no where in sight, the Admiral would not be impressed, it was only when I saw a pair of macrobinoculars did I remember an incident that my father had told me about. http://www.brickshel...l/LEGOSW2/1.jpg Past Scene My father was a cargo trader, he worked days and nights delivering cargo to all places across the galaxy, he worked with three others, rando, who he considered the fairest of the three as he had convinced the leader to employ him. Rundul, the "right hand man" to our leader, and finally Kaz, are leader, kaz was a straightforward person, you didn't get on the wrong side of him, or you would be sorry. On one occasion they were delivering cargo on tatooine. http://www.brickshel...l/LEGOSW2/2.jpg We saw Battle droids scattered across the town, Kaz asked a man wandering out of a building what was going on, he replied "Jedi were sited here, they are questioning citizens and droids, be careful" "great" he mumbled "Just what we need" he knew there were lots of illegal goods inside the crates. http://www.brickshel...y.cgi?i=6207875 He approached them, and attempted to negotiate with them, but there was no way forward, "we need to see your cargo sir" demanded the droid. Kaz pulled his pistol out of his pocket and nodded to Rundul, things were getting nasty. http://www.brickshel...l/LEGOSW2/5.jpg And before we knew it a gun fight had started between the droids. http://www.brickshel...l/LEGOSW2/6.jpg And before my father knew it, Rando had been shot, my father rushed to him, he had been hit in the arm, he looked up and saw the fighting was still happening. unexpectedly he reached for a thermal detonator in his back pocket and launched it at the droids. http://www.brickshel...l/LEGOSW2/8.jpg http://www.brickshel...l/LEGOSW2/9.jpg The droids were gone in an instant, battered parts lay on the road, they rushed around Rando, who was on the floor, the shot was not fatal, but it had injured him extremely badly. "good going kid" Kaz said to my father. http://www.brickshel.../LEGOSW2/10.jpg My father had been carrying macrobinoculars that day, and, for some reason, whenerver he used them he was reminded of the day he saved his crew. http://www.brickshel.../LEGOSW2/11.jpg Comments and feedback welcome
  7. Hello all, I've just created an account for Brickshelf and every time I try and login it says "login failed" yet the password and username are correct, anyone know how to solve this? EDIT: No need, figured it out.
  8. ^^ To add on to that point, what also gets annoying is the excessive use of block capitals that are sometimes used. "WHEN ARE THE NEW PICTURES COMING OUT!!!"
  9. Nice Actually brings some humour to the gender discussion about Friends.
  10. Posting mine later today.
  11. As far as I know, the UK gets them on the 5th, other countries I don't know. VIP members should usually get emails for upcoming events like this.
  12. Yes, I'm the only FOL in the family. And come to think of it, I think I always have been. My sister was never interested in Lego and nor were any of my cousins. I'm happy with any Lego gift, when it comes to a gift I don't intend to build, I try and look at it from different angles, in other words, "what other uses are there?". MOC, alternate models, using parts to MOD another set.
  13. Okay, well I'm very sorry you felt that way as that was not my intention, and apologies for that. I think possibly why people couldn't give any feedback is because we didn't understand what this video was about. What were you trying to achieve exactly? I think that once that is answered we can start to give you feedback, its sort of hard to constructive criticism when you don't know what the outcome is meant to be.
  14. Yes, I'm sorry to say I didn't really understand what was going on either. Was it meant to be some sort of re-edit?
  15. Know some good ones, Yogscast, Popularmmos, Stampylonghead, squiddy Sundays.
  16. I think its the 5th, so next Monday we'll get them.
  17. Saw Die Another Day yesterday evening. I know this film has been bashed a bit by critics for its poor use of CGI and special effects, but I've always enjoyed watching this film.
  18. I bought the Imperial Troop Transport and Shadow Troopers.
  19. After seeing the cross section of the Echo Base there's alot Lego can do with this set to make it successful. I'd like to see some named characters rather than just "rebel pilot" like Wedge, Wes Janson, Hobbie Klivion etc. The ball is basically in Lego's court as far as this set is concerned.
  20. Just popped into my store and got a couple of things, alot of sets are either sold out or very low in numbers.
  21. For me it would have to be The Crystal Skull Temple, there was a wide range of building techniques used , every time you opened a new bag you didn't know what to expect.
  22. You're not the only one, the UK site is also not showing the new sets, why this is I don't know as its almost 10am here.
  23. I've always loved the whip pieces we got in the Indiana Jones line.
  24. Yes, unfortunately none of them are of the correct scale, you could use the parts to build your own though.
  25. Happy new year!
