  1. It is too bad that this set was so limited in its availability, because it really is a great set. 10 figures, including the only set with the printed Storm Trooper legs, for only $50! If only Lego would do this now. And while the Shuttle was not redesigned from the original release, they also included the command center and small transport. All in all, I really wish that I had gotten this set when it was out.
  2. This years sets look pretty decent this year. The Freeco Speeder looks like your run-of-the-mill Star Wars set, but the rest look unique. The Tri-Droid Fighter is really nice looking. The Tie-Defender is simply amazing. A ton of detail and a big set. Without being to see the BP's very well, I am not going to judge them yet. I just can't wait until Endor BP's.
  3. What I don't understand is why Lego didn't just include a regular Speeder Bike? While I love Lego, sometimes I don't understand the things they do.
  4. I admit that we did not win the War of 1812. But, neither did you. It was pretty much a stalemate. And while you did enter WWII 2 years before us, if it hadn't been for the US, you probably would have lost. And it's neighborhood without a "u"
  5. Nice first time review. Just a couple of friendly suggestions. You should make sure your pictures are high quality and can be posted a bit bigger so that they are easier to see. Try ones that are a bit less grainy. Also, a few more pictures would be great. I like how you broke down your score.
  6. This appears to be a decent line-up. Hopefully the updated Slave I is Jango Fett's and no Boba Fett's. We alread have a great version of Boba's, but Jango's is lacking some. I am glad that there is a healthy mix of both new sets and updated sets.
  7. I rip the box open and throw it away. Personally, I don't see the point of buying a ton of sets if you aren't going to open them and build them. Sure, 10 years down the road you can sell them and make a profit, but that's 10 years. You aren't going to be able to make any money off of them for a while.
  8. Good start, but I would suggest changing the color scheme and making the ship a bit more uniform.
  9. Just google Call of Duty wiki. I would pre-order, except I don't think my computer could handle it. I really need an upgrade.
  10. Very nice MOC. The War of 1812 is so often overlooked in history. Oh, and Emperor Claudius Rome, I think you mean America's correct claim to victory. You are just sour that we beat you two wars in a row and then had to bail you out in two more wars.
  11. What a great movie. While there were parts of prolonged dialogue which drug on for some time, the movie was all around great. It was my first Tarantino movie, and I have to say he has a very interesting style. Both Brad Pitt and the buy who played the Nazi Colonel were great. They really made the movie. Also, the writing was very well done. I am not going to give away any spoilers here, but let me just say how I love that it departed from the stereotypical WWII movie and branched out in a totally new way.
  12. I can just tell that this MOC is going to be amazing. With the amount of detail you have put into the structure and figures, it really can't go wrong.
  13. This belongs in the Culture and Multimedia section. However, I mine as well comment on it while I am here. I think everyone agreed that after the great success of Empire: Total War and the time period and approach they used, Napoleon was only a matter of time. What I did not expect however was that the next full game in the series would be Napoleon. I figured they would make it an expansion on Empire. I am also surprised that they have already released a few screenshots and a video when the game won't be released for a year and a half. Still, it looks really cool. Hopefully by that time my computer will be upgraded sufficiently seeing how I can barely run Empire as it is.
  14. Great job modifying it. In my opinion, they really improved it with the second Y-Wing. When this Y-Wing was released, most of the sets were not very detailed. Lego had just gotten into Star Wars and they were still working out the bugs.
  15. While I have not seen it (but am planning too), I have to say the marketing has been tremendous. The viral marketing was simply genius. Nothing I have ever seen before.
  16. People. Come on. This does not deserve a topic by itself. Lego makes mistakes all the time, putting CW sets in with OT sets.
  17. Guys, please remember that all of this is very preliminary. We don't have any pictures or any confirmation that these names are even right. By the time we get official confirmation, I am guessing that at least 2 of those names will change.
  18. I might end up trading in my Wii version for money towards the PC version. The Wii graphics are terrible and do not do the game justice. Hopefully my PC will be able to support the game.
  19. While I have not seen the movie, I have heard and read that it is terrible, even for GI Joe fans. From what I have read, it is a big time action movie with no plot. Now, I will not judge it because I have not seen it, but because of what I have read, I will not be.
  20. This topic is not for promoting your own personal online server. Also, please use proper grammar, punctuation, and capitalization.
  21. FYI, the video has been removed due to copyright issues.
  22. WOW!!! Even with the horrible, video camera quality, it still looks amazing. Just like any superhero movie, the first was an origin story, with only one villain and a lot of background. Now, they are moving into multiple enemies, a deeper story, and an ally (WAR MACHINE)! I love the first one, and this one looks even more amazing. . It eliminates the stereotypical part of the story where the attempts to keep his identity hidden while still saving the world.
  23. While this is currently the only set with Mace Windu, which makes it almost a must-have, the overall design of the ship and lack of other minifigs is a real let down.
  24. Wow. That is amazing. I am really impressed with the amount of detail and the sheer size of this thing.
  25. This is both good and bad news. It is good news because the show was actually decent at times and if they can just clean it up and tie it into the movies, it would be decent all the time. It is bad because the originally said that they were going to tie TSCC into Terminator Salvation, which didn't happen. The TV show didn't really connect with the movies and created a whole other timeline. If the DVD movie is decent and ties in with T5, I will be happy to see the show re imagined and put back on the air.
