That is odd that a territory would get a different RIM. The sets released in the US and Canada have a rim that is more beefed up and suited for the armored batmobile/dragsters.

Lego has only redone sets that needed a better build. The 2003 X-Wing and 2006 Slave one cost more and are vastly improved models from their lego precursors. I'm enjoying these licenses for their uniqueness that only lego can bring to them, with their quality. I can't wait for Batman, Avatar and Spongebob. The Lego version of the Batman Tumbler is going to be once heck of a model. I'm excited about the future of LEGO. Oh and the ISD is a playset for kids rather than the UCS ISD.

Spongebob has more characters and more play enviorments that could be done. Spongebob has been around since 1999, that's quite a bit of time. Wouldn't you agree? What do you mean replace Star Wars? We haven't even seen the TV Series yet. More Lego sets yet to come perhaps?

The only mini fig i don't think fits is Squidward. He should have a sculpted head and his "feet" could be printed on a slop.

I believe this is a kinder Egg toy as shown here. When i saw no studs, i knew something was amiss.
