There sure has. And now that the 3rd blogger Oky has joined our blog, it's time for me to sit down and fix that scandal I've made My sincere apologies to all of you for not having wrapped this contest a loooong time ago. I could make a lot of excuses or even try to explain, but that changes nothing when it all hits the fan. Sorry! I'll have the winners up today or tomorrow at the latest - if not then I resign and reassign myself on a desolate outpost in the Outer Rims.

And Clone O'Patra joined the bloggers as well.

I've just asked Brickdoctor to help out with the blog and he agreed. So let's all welcome our new blogger. Thanks Brickdoctor for agreeing to help out with no pay and no powers

Oh boy! I warned you not to spill your newest addiction No Star Wars fan will ever take you seriously again. And you're welcome.

We do have a topic on UCS, UCS scale, Non-UCS 10XXX sets and such.

Wow that's absolutely stunning. I can't wait to see your process in the future. This has been added to the blog queue. Thanks for sharing and nice photoshopping.

Crazy Mkay, please don't use the numbers for those rumored sets again. I'd hate to have to "comb the desert" to swipe those 2 previously mentioned 2 sets' numbers in the 10XXX area. So what about those rumors on a UCS B-Wing and R2D2 - you think they're reliable?

So the rest of the rumors listed in the first post are false?

Erhm... how exactly did you build that round tower? I've been messin' with building such towers since forever and this is the best I've seen so far

What did you think he meant? You did put this as a subtitle, didn't you? So what "lots of building techniques" does this "awesome mini ship" hold?

Updated first post

BaronSat's been doing (and has shown) 2 great MOCs inspired by the Kenner Micro Collection toys from the 80's. Now he's put them next to each other to do some pics of them and it looks super. Thanks for sharing those pics with us BaronSat. Personally I think the idea of making a tribute to the Kenner Micro Collection is a great idea and it opens a new world of what and how to MOC. Thanks for all the inspiring work BaronSat Here's the links to the previous topics. DS Escape DS Compactor (click to see more and comment in the Star Wars Forum)

Early August is over? Dammit Sorry about that - life's been really busy and I am working on getting a few more prizes. It wont be long now

Nope, sorry, but you do NOT get to bump old topics with remarks like this. This is your sole warning on immature behaviour - I've already had reports on you from other forums on EB. "Stay On Target!"

Nah, just stick to the rules concerning image size and you'll be fine. I like loads of pics in a reasonable size.

Sheeesh! I hate those spoiler brackets. They're good for spoilers, not images.

Let's talk! NOTE: Just stick to reporting such posts. Now we've wasted 3 posts on this odd remark. Thanks for reporting it Makes it easier for us to pinpoint the kiddies around here.

Yeah just like the Darthomir Speeder that ended up being the Sith Nightspeeder or something this year. Names are preliminary until we see/get the final designs. So are the figs included - remember Quinlan Vos?

Wow, wow and more wow. This is bound to hit the blog tonight No flickr account?

Nope, it's just a template for future rumors and confirmed sets. Nothing to worry about - really it isn't. "Cross my heart!" and all.

More updates to the first post.

This is the 2012 Picture and rumor topic. The flickr gallery on all 2012 news can be found HERE We'll try to keep this first post updated 24/7. "Stay On Target!" - those posting lies or false rumors are liable to get their account banned.

Part of the Danish toystore chain "BR" had a 50% Discount for one day. And yeah sets outside the US are waaaay more expensive. It's fair to say that the 40% off I got today only lets me buy the sets at US prices. So I guess you guys can imagine how expensive LEGO is around the world?

Let's see what I've recently acquired. A MISB 7869 Battle for Geonosis and 7868 Mace Windu's JSF. - both are to be kept like that forever Then Morten went to a toystore sale with 50% off and got me the Republic Frigate, Sith Nightspeeder, Geonosian Starfighter and Ewok Attack. Then today I turned my wanted list into just having the Echo Base, UCS Lambda Shuttle and UCS Super Star Destroyer as I bought the following sets 40% off: Millennium Falcon Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator Naboo Starfighter I also bought a bunch of Kingdoms and Pirate sets... Perhaps I should revisit the store and get a Naboo set to keep MISB as well.
