There are plenty of members who are at the Grand Duke Status but have been promoted to bigger and better things, there are a bunch of Fellows over 4k posts. It's just a picture under your name. Who cares what it says. I mean if you get to Grand Duke then it will just say Grand Duke forever. Also the members search seems to work for me, I get WF, GCH, and Shadows for global mod's. If you compare that to the Mod list, it's spot on. user error maybe?

I completely forgot about jabba, he is totally useless in the playability factor but dfor display he's great becasue I feel is looks pretty good and is the appropriate size.

Looks great, my only complaint is the stripes are so crooked since it's built with bricks. What am I saying of course it's built with bricks. I'm not sure how you could fix it, so I'll just keep stop typing now.

Do what, build that scene out if LEGO?

It's so sad to hear about people ho sold their collection, but I understand, if my collection woudl have been easily available to me, I may have sold mine too, luckily it was at my parents place for 15 years. Enjoy the forums!

They do. This review is of a 2009 set and contains two hard flas with the clips. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?...c=28750&hl=

For my 9th Star Wars review(I'm going for a bakers dozen), I bring you the updated Sith Infiltrator. This is a remake of the original 7151 which I desperately wanted but was never able to pick up and I am so happy I waited and got the new updated version because this one looks so much better. BASIC INFORMATION: Set Name: Sith Infiltrator Set Number: 7663 Number of Pieces: LEGO box 310, Peeron 310, Bricklink 303, Brickset 310 Minifigs: 1 Price: $29.99, £24.99 Theme: Star Wars Year Released: 2007 RESOURCES: (high res pics available here, also by clicking the images in the review) THE REVIEW: The Box Front: The front of the box has a great in flight shot of the stealthy fighter, as well as a quick pic of Darth maul on his tiny speeder bike. There is also some printing stating this is a limited edition and LEGO is well aware of how hard it was in the past to obtain a Darth Maul fig since it was last produced in 2000. Side: The side of the box shows the same image as the front, Darth maul with his little speeder, and a special thanks to KimT as Denmark is the first country listed for where the components were made. Back: Lots of features are shown on the back of the box. From speeder bike storage to Sith droid storage to flick fire missiles, this ship has it all. Not to mention some slick landing gear and fold out wings. Instructions Front: One booklet of standard size for a medium sized set, roughly the size of a piece of 8x11 paper which has the same image as the box with the same blaster effects. Boy I wish my set did that. Back: Loads of advertising on the back of this instruction booklet. 9 sets in total, of which I have all of them, except the MTT, it just never appealed to me. Parts List: The bread and butter of building duplicate sets. I much prefer this being on the back of the booklet but you can't win them all. All Pieces: 310 pieces and 1 yellow piece. The large wing panels are pretty cool, and you get 4 of them. Random pieces of interest: A small control panel and a radar dish style piece with some markings for the top of the ship, as well as the rear hatch with lots of printing, and the best part is no stickers! Extra Pieces: 2 1 stud tiles 2 1 stud round studs and a controller piece. A pretty weak selection of extra pieces, but then again, they are extras. Into the giant bin they go(not really). Cape Box: Cape box 4182970 contains one black cape. The cape is a standard black Jedi/Sith cape. Minifigs Darth Maul: A loan minifig for a lonely Sith life. With only 1 minifig usually I'd complain, but for this set it only makes sense, plus he's a hard to find minifigure. There is no back printing and the cape would cover that anyway, so I'll focus on his weapon and face. Darth Maul with saber: Although it's just a regular lightsaber hilt, they do give you two blades for the full effect. Lets not forget that this is a chrome hilt, which is all but extinct. Darth Maul face close up: A close up of his face shows a pretty good printing job, I think it looks like him. I do not own the previous version from 1999/2000 so I will borrow a photo from Bricklink. The new head is on the left and the previous version is on the right. The main difference is in the chin and the eyes; the newer version has pupils. Sith infiltrator build process Cockpit Step 11: This is an important step to show because it clearly shows the printed control panel and the rails, which hold the speeder bike in place. It's cozy but it's a perfect fit for a lonely Sith. Cockpit Step 17: The lovely printed pieces close out the back side of the cockpit for Darth Maul's sleek ship. I love the rounded look the whole unit has, the rear hatch resembles the Tie Interceptor clear cockpit glass, and in fact it's the same piece in only grey and printed. Cockpit Step 20: I have jumped forward to the addition of the wings on either side of the cockpit. They are very true to the design in the movies and look rather good. Main Hull Step 5: This particular hull build picture is here to show how the front landing gear work. All of this gets covered up so this is the only time you get to see it. The two leg pieces are on 2x2 turntables but are then blocked in so they only move as much as shown in the picture. Main Hull Step 16: Advancing on the hull is taking form and we see the storage location for the 3 probe droids as well as Darth Mauls lightsaber hilt and a nice pair of binoculars which if you recall he does briefly use in the movie. Watch your pieces : If you didn't build Darth Maul from the beginning like the instructions tell you to, you may find the back of Darth maul's head looks alot like a probe droid. Be careful when building. Main Hull Step 18: The front end of the ship is so much smoother than the previous version except mine seems to have some permanent damage done to it. For the life of me I can't get that big black scuff off of the front piece. Completed Ship front left: Sleek and streamlined would be how I'd describe this set. Even with the battle damage of being stored, this ship looks great. Completed Ship back left: The lightsaber blades on the edge of the wings are a nice touch. In total you get 4 red saber blades in this set. Completed Ship right rear: Very similar tot eh other picture but here you get a clear view of the saber blades on the main hull area. These are actually the saber blades from Darth Mauls lightsaber. I think they look really good right there and I wish LEGO would have given us 2 more for his lightsaber so those could be left on all the time. In order to use his lightsaber, you need to take those 2 blades off the ship. Completed Ship head on: Flick fire missiles are hiding under the wing section near the front of the cockpit and you can see that the front of this ship is only 4 studs wide. Completed Ship rear: Another fine view of the printed hatch piece and the dish on top, both very complimentary to the ships design. The printed hatch opens up for the speeder bike that we will see below. Completed Ship Bottom: Underneath the ship the main thing to look for is the landing gear. It's a little hard to see but if you click the picture you'll get a high res copy and you'll see how one landing gear leg is moved out and the other is tucked away close to the ship. It's a very subtle difference but it actually helps with the stability. Speeder bike: Personally I think this is the best speeder bike LEGO has ever made. It is so simple and small, yet it looks awesome. It clearly can't compete with a regular speeder bike for size, but it's a very functional bike. Rear hatch: Storage for the speeder bike is not a problem with the Sith Infiltrator. Darth Maul can ride right up into the back of the Sith Infiltrator and control the ship from his speeder bike. This ends up being very convenient for playability since the bike is always with you. Flick Fire Missiles: Flick fire missiles, what is there to say, they are the downfall of LEGO design. All they ever do is fall out when you try to play, and they perfected the cannon back in the 80's, why can't they incorporate a smaller cannon on ships, so there is actual power in the missiles. That is my dream. Storage: The entire front of the ship can slide forward to get to the storage area with the probe droids; his lightsaber and his binoculars are conveniently stored. Flight mode: Finally the wings fold out to enter flight mode. The ship has to be raised off the ground to open the bottom wings, I used some clear 2x2 round pieces to elevate the ship high enough to fold them out. While swooshing it's not a problem, but you need to close them before you land. Totals: Design: 9/10 I rated this a 9 out of 10 because the overall design is pretty solid. The only things I'd change is the front area that opens, can actually slide all the way off. Now according to the instructions this is normal, I just wish it slid out a few inches and then locked in place or stopped. Not a real big deal, but it did stop it from getting a 10 in my book. Parts: 6/10 Nothing spectacular in this set. The large wing pieces are unique but I'm not sure what else I'd use them for. 4 lightsaber blades are always appreciated but otherwise I don't really feel the need to go on and on about parts that aren't that special. Build: 7/10 The build is pretty simple, barely any technic and structurally it's pretty sound. The wings can break off if you get a little rough but if your careful like all sets, it handles just fine. The landing gear is very good for displaying the model and store away nicely and don't wiggle around when in the closed position. This is something I think is worth noting because while building it, you think they are going to wiggle around and make noise until the build is complete. Minifigs: 8/10 Darth Maul is a hard to find minifig and I think he is worth is weight in bricks to me. Since I was unable to get a previous version I have no problem only getting one minifig in a $30 set. I of course want as many fig's as possible but I can't really see anyone else being in this set, unless they gave us a Qui Gon Jin, which would be similar to what they decided to do later on with sets like the new Republic Gunship where we get a villain that has no ship of their own. Playability: 10/10 Some may argue with me but I think this set is great for playability and swoosh ability. It is sturdy when holding in your hand to swoosh and when on the ground, it has the great storage space for the speeder and all of the other useful pieces like the droids and his lightsaber and binoculars are all housed conveniently in the ship. It's all self contained and that's important, especially if you fly from downstairs to upstairs, you don't want to have to lug up his heavy speeder by itself. Although I hate flick fire missiles, the kids love them and they are included in this set. Price: 8/10 I think it's a good deal but $30 for 300 pieces and one fig is slightly on the high side. The more I think about it, the more I wish they included Qui Gon as an adversary for Darth maul to fight. Other than that it's a great ship with some specialty pieces which I feel make it worth it's money. Total: 48/60 This gives it an overall rating of an 8. If I had the chance and the extra money I would have bought this set twice, or even three times. I can see this set growing in value, as it is the best version and likely the last version of this ship that we will see. The one fig you get is lonely but he's a rare fig. The ship looks great and is very functional for play. If you had the old set, I can imagine you bought the new one as well due to the vast improvement in LEGO pieces over the last 8 years. New sealed versions of this set are already going for $50 on Bricklink showing that this set will likely remain a popular one in the future.

Cool little set, the green head is a inner, I want the orange and green version but space police isn't in my budget. Thanks for the review!

It's pretty simple actually. Any reasonable person will realize that something like that in stop motion form would have taken months of numerous people building round the clock. The cost of something like that would be ridiculous for labor. Commercials have a short life and can't be costing hundreds of thousands of dollars for a few months of a commerical, especially when the Jazz is only sold in certain countries and Honda has over 10 over cars to make commericals for. Doing this in real life would be a ridiculous move for any company due to the incredible amount of time and labor charges it would have taken. Each individual frame would be a different sculpture, and we all know how long MOC's take.

Very interesting MOC, it's gret that it is only made from the battlepack sets. It looks good and I persoanlly like how it holds so many clones but my only complaint is the armor, there seems to be lots of open spaces where stray blaster bolts could clip a clone. otherwise it's fun and functional, good job!

That is extremely thoughtful and very nicely done. Let her know she did a wonderful job on the MOC and the relationship part, that's very thoughtfu.

As an avid fan of the wonderful work done in the Pirates forum, this will help them out alot. I may even get one or two.

In, thanks KimT for putting on another contest in the midst of the raffle. What a treat!

Wow. The road is just brilliant. Looking at it I thought it looks like a 3rd world country or something like a war ridden country and then a few pics down you add the tank. Very nice work, I thin kyou achieved what you were going for 100%

I'm old and old school, so I have to say the old flags, they have so many more uses wince they have the bar clips. Plus I have a bunch of those and now new ones.

That X-wing is to die for, it's perfect, simply perfect. I want one.

Wow, I feel old.

I've played Red Alert 3, I like your fig, he looks like a russian from the game.

Well I am certainly not a mod but having been here a while and seen alot, I can tell you, I am 99% sure they are OK with someone being under 18 as long as they act accordingly. You may want to wait for a mod to chime in, but the rules do say "We reserve the right to ban anyone who does not meet that requirement." Which doesn't technically say they will ban you instantly but that they can. I know of many member under the age of 18 that are curently on this board.

The new helmets on the above picture look really great, the torso's go with them, flawlessly.

Lego Shop @Home pick a Brick has 2x2 purple bricks for .15 cents US. 269*2=538*.15= $80.70 Seems like the best bet.

Great reason to review a great thread. Your collection is truely something to behold.

What I get no credit since I'm not staff. I posted the same thing above both of them at the top. Of this page. Seriously though, I'd move on, brickshelf is an unstable site and I wouldn't want to loose my valued images. I am 100% positive this would never happen. LEGO is a smart thriving companiy and would not throw money away like that.

I hope this doesn't come out sounding rude, but maybe you should use a different color or cancel the project. It appears you have drained the available resources. Unless shop@home has that piece. If they do, it will likely be more expensive that bricklink, but at least you could get whatever quantity you want.

A quick search of the word baseplate yields me this on bricklink. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=4186a i believe this is the largest, but it doesn't look like you'll find one anywhere.
