  1. For when this set came out, it was a great set. However, in 2009, it isn't really that good of a set. It is was too boxy and unrealistic to pass for a good set today. Still, it was a nice set for the time.
  2. Both of you need to stop because both of you are right. While it does say SPOILER ALERT, we have also established a while ago that people in different countries see episodes at different times. Up until this points, most people have been courteous enough to use Black Spoiler Bars with sensitive info about an episode that just came out. Please try to respect that.
  3. After 2 weeks, I still haven't built mine yet. First off, I had to dissasemble a bunch of other Legos to make room. Second, it just doesn't appeal to me right now. Still, once I finally get done, it will be pretty nice.
  4. Very cool. I love all the detail.
  5. Considering that the title of the video is about the Best Lego Sets Ever with a few newer sets thrown in, I don' think that it is really that important. You never know though.
  6. Yes it does. But most people have been considerate enough to put sensitive information, such as what happened to everybody in the last episode, in Spoiler Black. It would be nice if people could respect the fact that not everybody who reads the thread has seen all the way through.
  7. Nice start, but it is a little too boxy and gray for me. The treads also don't look very Star Wars like.
  8. I missed the last 5 or 6 episodes and I am not planning on catching up. It got way too philosophical for me. Some episodes barely had any action. I am really excited for Terminator Salvation, which looks like a great reboot of the series.
  9. I have read plenty of books, don't worry about that. I agree that Jacob was really annoying and he bothered me. New Moon kind of put me off from the series, but Eclipse was really good. Breaking Dawn was kind of forced. I liked all of the characters except Jacob and Rosalie.
  10. I have to disagree with you. I respect your opinion, but unless you have read at least Twilight if not more of the books, then I don't think that you can make accusations like that. However, I do feel that Bella is pretty shallow in the books. Still, that does not make them disgusting or terrible.
  11. Considering this is the 6th game, no it was not. It was originally going to be called Call of Duty 6 Modern Warfare 2.

    Venator MOC

    I have to agree with Oky Wan Kenobi. It doesn't really look like the Venator. I would suggest looking at Lego's set for inspiration.
  13. While I am not surprised to find so many negative thoughts, I am happily surprised about the positive thoughts on the books. I have a few revised ideas about a couple of them. New Moon: The whole Jacob thing in the first 2/3 gets pretty tedious. Overall, I am not a big fan of Jacob until Breaking Dawn. He just gets on my nerves too much. Midnight Sun: I just finished reading the stuff posted online, and it is really quite good. It is interesting because it shows great insight into the Cullens and Edward. Also, all of the Jacob stuff is cut out. It would be nice if she finished the book. Movies: While I know many of you have said the movie is bad, I am still interested to see it. I will probably see all that come out, but just wait until they come out on DVD. The only movie that would be difficult to make would be Breaking Dawn for a few reasons.
  14. So, I just recently finished reading all four books in the Twilight Saga (Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn). My original idea about the books was that they were girly novels with little or no story or adventure. I was wrong. While the writing is fairly simple and the books are overall easy reads, I still enjoyed them. There were interesting characters, some exciting moments, and a few twists. While they are not my most favorite books, I am still glad I read them. Without giving away any spoilers, I am going to give a few quick ideas on them. Twilight: This one was probably the best of the series. It was different, with interesting characters. Unlike the others, the story did not revolve around Bella obsessing about Edward. New Moon: The worst in the series. 2/3 of the novel was all about Bella in a self-induced depression. The first-person made this so much worse. The last third was interesting, with new characters adding a twist to the story. Eclipse: Pretty good. It fell back to the feeling of Twilight. The last third was nice with the large battle. Still, Bella worried too much about things, and the first person made this hard. Breaking Dawn: This one was really different than the rest. It was almost unnecessary, but wrapped the story up well none the less. The end was a little anti-climatic. Also, the ending was kind of predictable and did not end the series very surprisingly. Midnight Sun (incomplete): I have gotten half way through the chapters posted online, and it is really good. I really hope she finished it, because it is the best of the series. For those who don't know, it is a retelling of Twilight through Edward. It provides helpful insight into his mind and the Cullens. I would recommend reading it for those who have read the others. Overall, the books were good. The story was a lot more than a love story. The first-person was different, sometimes good and sometimes overwhelmingly annoying. Still, I recommend the books. Note: I have not watched the movie yet, but it is on my Netflix que. I have heard and read that it is ok, but not great. I always like watching movies after reading books because it gives a face to the story.
  15. I am going to be getting home tomorrow, so I will be able to finish this set. I am excited about the build, but need to find some place to put it.
  16. Thanks. I figured they would have included all of them in bag one, so I kind of freaked out. I feel really bad now, because I just wrote a complaint to Lego about it. Oh well, I will just apologize when they respond back.
  17. I just opened mine and started building, and realized that Lego has lied to us. Both the box and the website say that it includes 8 figures, 2 pilots and 6 clones. Only when you open the bags and crack the instruction book do you realized that there is only 1 pilot, not 2. I feel a little bit cheated and lied to. It isn't a huge deal, but I will be writing a letter to Lego.
  18. I just got mine in the mail today. I have opened the box, but have not started building yet.
  19. Now I see it. Took me a few minutes. The sticker sheet looks pretty nice, and I like the fact that they included two different versions of the nose stickers. Can't decide which I will use. I love that they have included numbered bags to make building easier. This must be one impressive build however, considering it includes three instruction books.
  20. The Wing decal is not a clone helmet. You just accidently put the sticker sheet next to instruction book and took a picture of the sheet.
  21. Washington didn't wear his hat like that. He wore it with the front facing forwards. I guess you could use it for Washington, but it could be a million other people too. Also, no offense, but I can tell you aren't a history buff. Washington was the 1700's, specifically 1775-1783 in the American Revolution.
  22. I agree with all of these things. The Cavil assassination was totally random and not necessary. I think the Baltar cult was really necessary for character development. Baltar annoyed me in the first two seasons, but he expanded and became a better character. I definitely wanted to learn more about Daniel. He was only mentioned once and then he was gone.
  23. I would like to see it set a few years in the future with more modern weapons. Nothing extreme, but more like Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter.
  24. Didn't mean to get so off topic. Just kind of came up.
  25. I was not saying that you were or you should. Unfortunately, mine has not shipped yet, so it will not arrive until after I have left for all of next week. I will not be able to build it until a week from Saturday.
