Came across this today, thought it might be of interest: Though, beware the link might have a bit of virus issues. http://www.toplessrobot.com/2009/01/the_10..._ever_built.php Steve

I think its too tan. Especially on that tan baseplate. Beyond that it looks good. I like the diamond shaped windows at the top. Steve

Well I guess its hard to argue with the actor, but I think Cavil would have gone out fighting. Or at least there needed to be a bit more build up for his suicide. It just came out of the blue, without much reason behind it. There's no reason to think that if it had come down to a fight, that he'd have lost. Steve

I much prefer the metaphysical to action. TV just doesn't do it for me, if there isn't some mystical/sci-fi element to it. The only things I didn't like about the finale: 1. Cavil committing suicide. That just didn't seem right. He should have gone out fighting, rather than a couple second frame of 'frak,' bang! 2. The whole Baltar cult seemed like a wasted subplot that didn't do anything 3. I wanted to see/learn more of Daniel... Steve

Does green really need a PSA? We really need to encourage some of the less used colors (purple, for instance) Steve

No one's talking about the BSG finale? Steve

I bet the Creationary one is like pictionary, but you have to build the clue, rather than draw it... Steve

It'd be really nice if they made that dome piece in gold. Steve

No, but I've been wanting to go down to DV, so I've been looking at some websites and have seen several pictures. Steve

I thought it looked familiar... Steve

This seems silly. We just got done with a relaunch of the series and now they're going to relaunch it again with a movie series? Steve

Its a little too much tan. I wonder if some snotted grey tiles would make it look better. I think it needs one more color to accent it... Other than that, it looks great. I like the asymetricalness. Steve

I don't recall... I guess that's kind of excusable, since its been over 4 years... Though here is my first post. Steve

Its kind of fun to speculate and try to come up with how he did it... If in fact he did it at all... But that only works if you know there is a Vader inside. If there isn't then all the boxes should weigh the same... Steve

The only reasonable method that I can fathom, which was suggested at TBB, is to buy a bunch of sets, take them home, weigh them and return the ones that don't pan out... Not sure how that would go over at the store though... Steve

I'm really on the fence about buying it. If they'd had it at the Lego store I was at last week, I might have bought it. Now I'm just not sure I could use it... Though a nice new large set is always a nice way to spend a winter weekend... Steve

I think you should have gone with a different color. It looks too similar to the tavern. Other than that it looks good. And I like the chimney on the front. For the bed, I'm not sure I like the brown part below the curved slopes. Doesn't look right. Steve

Its been about 25 years for me... No dark ages... Steve

I got the pirate ship from my wife... actually I got a 2nd troll ship too, since she misunderstood what set I'd pointed out at the store... Big one for both of us, I see... Steve

Thanks for all the birthday wishes! Its actually a big one this year... Steve

Yes, that's the one. Steve

Short of having a printed grave stone, saying "here lies so-and-so," I'm not sure how they'd convey that a character has died. And since many of the original themes had no character names, I'm not sure how you'd convey it... Steve

I think the ground needs some landscaping... I should really try to do a battle scene... Steve
