I don't do Castle due to budget constraints, although if I had the money I would. I only do Star Wars, but I like the Castle sets a lot and want a few. I think that Star Wars will probably outlast Castle, so you might want to get them while you can.
-
I haven't seen it and probably won't but I might rent it when it comes out of DVD. The reviews were not very strong, with Rotten Tomato giving in a 44% approval rating, which isn't very good. As a reference, The Dark Knight got a 94% approval rating. I am not sure about Lucas going off and doing animated stuff. It almost feels like he is trying to keep Star Wars alive when it might be time for it to lie low for a while.

I will not be picking this one up. The main thing is that it simply looks akward. It is big and bulky, and seems to have random pieces on it with not reall streamline feel to it. I also agree that for an exclusive that it $100, it needs more than just 3.5 mini figures. Anikan and Ashoka and Rotta already come in the AT-TE, which is cheaper and has more figures. R2-D2 is a figure that I am sure everybody has at least 4 or 5 of. For that kind of money, I expect something with at least one unique figure, and more than 4. I also want just a cleaner and better designed set. This is probably the letdown of the collection so far. Every collection needs one.

I think the hose is too big for the short thread.

The information said that it would be a tandem release of S@H and Target. While you don't have Target in Canada, you do have computer, right (lol)? While it might be more expensive to buy off of S@H with sales tax (depending on where you live) and shipping, that might be your best bet.
-
That was a great idea. I never even thought to send it back and get the new one with the other clone and the non LUL Windu.
-
Don't mean to contradict you, but all clones don't have the same face. Captain Rex is pretty much the same, but has facial hair instead of being clean shaven. I am asking for this set for my birthday, and hope to get it. The only thing that I think they should have done differently is include another clone. One pilot isn't really enough.
-
I am anxious to get this set when it finally is available in the US. I am really surprised that all of the other sets except this one are available here. Hopefully once the holiday season roles around, this will be available. I really like the detail of the tank and how you can seat both Clone Troopers. Another fig would have been nice, but whatever. I think that it looks a little short and stubby, but that's just my opinion. All in all, a great set.
-
Just built this set a few minutes ago. It is pretty nice. The legs are a little wobbly on the glass table I just built it on, and I would have liked for them to be a little sturdier. Still, nice set and nice way to get some clones and droids.
-
I think that Oky Wan Kenobi made a valid point. If you look at politics, they are taking polling all of the time. Are they polling everyone that will vote in a presidential election, no. They are simply polling a sample group to get an idea of how people will vote. I think that the Eurobrick poll gives a good idea of what I think the polling will be. A lot of people are big fans of PT sets, simply because it is more recent and people can relate more. I also think that a lot of people love the OT as well, especially something like the Mon Calamari cruisers that are really cool and have never been released. I believe that it will be a very close race, with Palpatine's Arrest coming in as the winner (unfortunately).
-
Very nice. I really like the detail with the mini-figures actually doing stuff. Looks like a really gate into a castle or square.
-
Very nice. I really like that you used just pieces from the Magna Droid Starfighter and didn't mix or match with other pieces. It makes it much more creative, and that way you don't have to worry about missing pieces if you want to rebuild the original.
-
So it comes with an extra gun-holding arm? It looks like it, and that's great. That way you can make all of the droids gun-totting ones.
-
I am excited about the Clone and Droid BP's and the AAT. I love the Clone Wars sets, but am anxious for some OT again.
-
It's nationwide. Here in Florida they have the same sale through Saturday. I love it when stores have sales on items that were just released. Gives you a chance to pick them up right away at prices you would have to wait months to get them at. I was going to buy the AT-TE at Toys R Us, but stopped at Target and saw the sale, so bought it there. I also wanted to buy the Separatist Spider Droid, but they didn't have it, so I had to buy it off S@H for full price.
-
I've never heard about such a rule. I also don't really think it is that harmful to children considering you couldn't open the figure up that easily. I think that really Lego decided that overall from a marketing and public interest side of it, they LUL were just not a great idea.
-
Wow, $120 for two cheaper sets and 5 clones. Like everyone else I will wait for the Clone Trooper BP. I agree with Joey Lock that the clones showed might be the BP, but I hope that it is just plain clones with guns and maybe 2 of those accessory packs.
-
I think it is a nice set, and might just be worth $75 because of the clones. You really can't get one set with more than two clones, so you have to buy multiple expensive sets to get some clones. Nothing else in the set is worth $75, especially because they didn't even change the hands on the Droid BP. Didn't really like the new Hailfire droid compared to the old one, so I am not gonnna get this set.
-
I think they were the stupidest thing Lego has done in a long time. They severely limited the playing ability of the minifigure, making it so you couldn't take the figure apart and use it for other things. I am glad they got rid of them quickly.
-
Looks like a cool set. The nice thing about it is that it comes with plain, normal clones, instead of commanders. I like the commanders, but they need some clones to command. Lego is putting too many Jedi and commanders in the sets, and not enough regular clones. I look for this on S@H just now, but they didn't have it. Might pick it up when they do.
-
I just ordered this set off of S@H yesterday. I was really hoping to snag it at Target, but didn't realize that it was an exclusive. Just finished building the AT-TE, and it is a great set. I recommend anyone who just got this set to grab the AT-TE as well. One note about the clone accessories; when I opened all of my bags yesterday, I noticed 2 bags of clone accessories came out. I assumed this was normal, until I looked at the parts index and saw that you only should get one. I was happily surprised, because now I have 2 sets of the small blasters, plus I can deck out the white clone if I want to make an ARC trooper out of him. Can't wait for this set to arrive. I only wish they would include more regular clones. I will only have 4 clones, 2 being commanders, after purchasing $120 dollars worth of Clone Wars legos. My AT-TE will be pretty empty. Hopefully the rumored Clone Trooper BP will take care of my empty seats.

Just picked this set up, and just took a break from building to go to Football Practice. I have just finished building all of the legs, and so far it looks like it is going to be a great set. I would have like it if more clones were included, but whatever. I find it interesting how many clone accessories they give you. I don't like it only because I can't decide what I want to use. I find it interesting that at lease 2 people are missing pieces. I have had multiple times where I thought I was missing pieces, only to find that they were in the bag somewhere. Other than the fact that there is a lack of minifigures, I love this set and can't wait to finish it later tonight.
-
I think your review is very helpful I am thinking about grabbing this set and the AT-TE today while I am at Toys-R-Us.
-
I hate how the original release had the light-up Windu, which was really lame, and one less clone trooper. I bought it when it first came out, so missed out on a good Windu and another clone trooper.
-
Personally, I hated that set. I fell apart way to easily and was just not built well.
