R2 in the X-Wing seems to be darker blue print. While it's not entirely accurate, it does look quite nice. The stormies look a bit overdone, same with the Arc trooper .Oh well. From what I can see on Porkins it seems like only his face is what will make him fat. I was hoping for some different printing on the torso.

All these have been mentioned several times... and can we all move past the fact that 6212 had some accuracy issues. It was around for 5 years, something must have been done right....

Four, 7654 from a local seller for $20 each. and three 7913 for 10% off each at the Lego Store.

I have got a very large amount of completed sets with all my instructions stored in a shoebox and boxes tucked away wherever they can fit. I've posted a review of the Star Wars Advent Calendar in it's respective forum and would be honoured to join The Reviewers Academy.

So a while back someone had posted a number for an exclusive R2 D2. I've received confirmation from a Lego Store employee that this will just be a large R2 model. That's all he told me. Whether or not it will move or do anything is unknown to me.

This is looking very clean with how the wings are built and the curved pieces for the cockpit. I might suggest to try and put a few greebles on the circular piece on the outside of the wings.

Just watch this it will explain how R2 can fit inside an Eta...Lucartistry.

I'm still deciding on this or spending about $300 more for 10030 10030 is so much more iconic in my opinion. Does anyone here own both and be able to give some kind of comparison?

For R5-D8 in the X-Wing, does anyone else figure it should be the same head mould for the astro in the upcoming Tie Fighter? or if that will be just exclusive for the Tie.

I can vaguely remember Yoda having a little hover chair in Ep.III when he's talking to Obi Wan and Windu.

"Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is." I wasn't building anything near that quality or accuracy when I was that age. I especially like the crashed ship(is that what it is?). That is probably my favorite part, along with the landspeeder.

Re-issuing a collectors item is going to aggravate more people than please. The people who own it already, probably out-number the ones willing to pay TLC re-issue price which would most likeyl be more than what it was before.

Can I have mine to please? Thanks!

So Christmas came early this year! After picking up the last one on the shelf. I paid the hefty price of $50 for a calendar that possibly lives up to expectations? Read on and find out. SPOILER ALERT: I will be showing everything included in this set. The box is verry nice with the characters and ships protruding slightly. Similar to the 2006 X-Wing box. The light from the flash shows it well on the Milennium Falcon. 266 Pieces is pretty decent with a lot of bricks used for SNOT work and such, it's a fairly decent parts pack as well. TLC gives away the surprise at the end with a big holiday Yoda right on the front. Sorry about the flash, took allthe pics in a poorly lit area. Back of the box is fairly interesting with Yoda looking like he's watching Empire Strikes Back but Zev is trying to pitch him the idea of a Star Wars Advent Calendar. This is my first advent calendar so I couldn't figure out how to open it properly and ended up just pulling out the entire tray. Well. Here it is. Inside is this weird piece of paper, this picture really confuses me, if you could figure it out, would be greatly appreciated. The windows appear to be in no particular order. Ok, now onto the build itself. Day One: Republic Cruiser. Seen in Episode 1 is actually one of my favorite ships in the set. Great way to start off. Sorry about this picture, its really bad. Day Two: Nute Gunray Dissapointed with this. Can't figure out why he is here. Oh well. Day Three:??? What is this?? I heard somewhere its supposed to be a chair, looks more like a halfbuilt droideka. Day 4: Separatist Homing Droid Things are picking up here, another one of my favorites. Comes with a good selection of pieces. The "turret" on the top can rotate as well. Day 5: Boba Fett's Slave One It's okay. I've seen better. The wings in fact can also rotate. CIMG0926 Click the picture for more photos. Day 6: Chewie It's Chewie. Day 7: Tool Rack Doesn't make much sense but supplies Chewie with a Bowcaster. Day 8: Rebel Pilot. This was very sad seeing as how he has an unprinted Rebel helmet, probably to avoid being confused with Zev Senesca once again. Day 9: X-Wing For a mini model than a micro model but it's..okay. I dont like the front portion at all. This instructions for each model are stuck on the back of the tab, some of the larger builds may be a bit difficult for smaller children to figure out but it's okay. S-Foils can open and close. Day 10: Imperial Shuttle Finally the Imperials get a say in this calendar, too bad it sucks. Horribly Can't stand on it's own. Day 11: Battle Droid Pilot. Handy to have another one of these around. Day 12: Snowspeeder Another one of my favorites. Legostein's is much better though. Day 13: Astromech (forgot name) This is the same one from the Death Star, he's 70% of the reason I got this. Day 14: Mouse Droid This doesn't make much sense either to me other than Chewie being here a while back. It does mouse stuff. Day 15: Republic Attack Gunship The Republic makes a stand... and it's rather impressive. Day 16: Clone Pilot. Rather fitting IMO. Includes black head! No creepy cloney head. Some sketchy printing on the helmet...Note:All the minifigures are made of regular plastic, no "China plastic". Day 17:Weapon Rack. Sort of a hint towards the Yoda at the end. and weapons to arm the Clone Pilot and Rebel Pilot and binoculars for...Gunray? Day 18: Y-Wing Not my favorite. The back end is a little skinny and doesn't remind me of the bulky workhorse of the Alliance. Day 19: Imperial Pilot Second time we've seen this guy. Nothing different. Day 20: Tie Fighter. One of the weaker models I feel. Day 21: Millennium Falcon. I really really like this. Not sure why. That one black piece is the backbone for this model. Same piece was used in the Republic Gunship. Day 22: A-Wing It's okay. Day 23: Christmas Tree! Not Star Warsy, but they need something to fill in. Kind of a goofy looking star. Day 24: Yodaaaa Not the greatest choice of exclusive figure. But he works. Who will win the epic battle for the Christmas Tree? As you can see this calendar heavily favours the Rebels and gives not much to Separatists. Finally my favorites and least favorites. Can you guess which is which? Overview. Value for money- 6/10 A couple rare minifigures and decent micro/mini models might not totally meet up to $50. Playability- 8/10 Some of these mini models are quite a lot of fun for swooshing. Parts- 7/10 Lots of good SNOT bricks available. Techniques- Above, SNOT is great for mini and micro models. Holiday Cheer- Priceless So I'd say this is worth it if you have $50 hanging around. There are some other sets you could get which are a bit better for the same price. The exclusive Yoda wasn't really a big draw for me but I imagine him being worth it in the future, I really love the astromech like I said before he's the main reason I wanted to get this. and last but not least. Someone PLEASE explain to me why they think Nute Gunray is in this set and explain in better detail what the brown thing in Day 3 is supposed to be.

I just picked up the new Naboo Starfighter and Mace Windu's Jedi Starfighter. In my version of MWJSF I never got the separate bag that's supossed to contain the spare Battle Droid Arm and a blaster. In KimT's review of the set it shows them included. Has anyone else had this? Also with the Naboo Starfighter, does the Naboo Pilot not fit in the cockpit? It seems like his helmet is keeping the screen from closing all the way.

Commander Fox minifigure for $3 from a kid (I conned) that lives near me.

I don't know about all of the watches except for the Luke Skywalker one and the Darth Maul one, they were both regular figures for me and came with the chrome hilts.

Thats a great collection Anio. After really looking at the Ties. I'm not a big fan of the solar panels. But everything else is just outstanding.

Dust is a problem yes, especially because we just did some house renos and a lot of sawdust and dust got blown around. I usually just take everything off one shelf at a time, dust it, scrub the top of the sets lightly with a toothbrush, put all the sets back up. and then usually once everything is back up. It's time to dust again

I wish I could have every Star Wars set.

To me, his usefullness is the podracer set is non existant, so I just use him as a Rodian Youngling.

Yeah it does, takes good pictures.

It's actually a gold minifig head.

Some of you may remember my display in the basment, but I moved some things around and took pictures of the shelf upstairs and my display at the other house. Enjoy. Here's the shelf in it's entirety, it's mostly Star Wars but theres also some Megabloks motorcycles up top, a hockey rink and a basketball court in the middle. Very top shelf is for the Sith and Jedi, as well as a few random ships. (Sorry about the odd background) Next shelf is the Clone Outpost holding the whole army, a few of the bigger Republic vehicles and some horrible custom clones. never again...never again... Next shelf is a small Hoth collection and some more random ships. One step down is Endor, the other Star Wars figures that can't really go anywhere else and then some random sports stuff. one more shot. Next we have all Separatists. CIMG0874 by Ritz Brick, on Flickr Click the pic for more Seppys. Extended droid carrier. Down one more level is everything that won't fit somewhere else. Last shelf is the rest of the Republic. CIMG0877 by Ritz Brick, on Flickr Behind the Gunship is about 10 more unbuilt clone battle packs. Then we move downstairs where some of the larger sets are. CIMG0889 by Ritz Brick, on Flickr More pics of downstairs, follow the link above^ Then at the other house is just some other stuff that is in the process of being moved. The Bounty Hunter Gunship was supposed to be in here, but I purposely cut it out...waste of $65. So if anyone can think of a place for the Podracers, Slave 1 and Juggernaut on the shelf or basement, would be greatly appreciated. CIMG0866 by Ritz Brick, on Flickr

Just a few more making fun of Mundi. "Trust me, we'll be doing him a favour..." I don't think a lobotamy was necessary...'
