I do wonder why they all dress so ridiculously. I thought all jedi were meant to dress in those robes. Anyway, at least Shaak Ti's bringing some class and nice pic.

That's what I assumed but I can't see any new figures on the cover so I'm a bit worried.

I suppose you're probably right. I think they're going to continue on with the celebration theme, though. I'm not gonna judge getting the book on the figure though, my big question is how updated this will be. I hope it's at least got all of the figures from the summer wave otherwise I certainly won't be getting it.

I don't have a clue how TLG would be able to make a Fanblade Fighter, or at least a structuraly integral one.

This looks really good but for people like me with enought time; it takes the fun out of scouring the forum for these articles. Perhaps some exclusive (or at least, temporarily exclusive) articles would make this a must bookmark

Thanks for the new pics. This certainly has a lot of detail in it that I couldn't see before.

Sorry, won't happen again.

I wouldn't know. I don't think I've had an actual lightsaber since 2005! All mine are chrome or light up lightsabers. But I did mean the metallic hilts.

Just remembered that Savage Oppress is also missing from this list.

And, heck, who are we to say that isn't Plo Koon's happy face, eh?

If our theories about wave 2 next year focusing on AotC are coreect then I think the possibilities of new Tuskens (and something similar to your set, General Magma) are fairly high. The Tusken heads could be differently printed versions of Darth Maul and Savage Opress (ridiculous name, in my opinion).

I'm just messing with you. Is it just me or are the two lightsabers slightly different colours? P.S I'm not talking about the ones on the sandtroopers backpack.

Lovely review, I definately learnt some new stuff today. It's a shame I have no need for the figures because i sure love that ship.

Don't forget that wierd alien fella.

Welcom to EuroBricks! Looks like I'll be seeing you in the Star Wars forums and my occasional forray in the action forums.

Any news on star wars sets in the west midlands?

I most certainly hope they won't be raising prices with tax. My basic understanding of economics suggests they won't, it's the same reason why we pay more than others in the US. Technically they'll still be making money on us even with tax.

I put my vote to NinjaGO for one critical reason. With Time Cruisers, I think TLG wer trying to be as wierd and as fun as they could whereas with the NinjaGO sets, there is no valid explanation for what is going on. It seems to me they couldn't decide between 3 distintive themes so tried to combine them all together. Not a wis move IMO.

How about doing it the other way around

I wouldn't call that a promotion Last time I saw, these troops were massacared by General Grevious. Something sinster might be up.

How did you get that 'snow' on the helmet?

Thanks for the information. I see you are clearly a man interested in the original triology. Something tells me we won't be able to get away with a playset, these days, without the introduction of a speeder bike of sorts so I think you may be right about the snowspeeder in the Hoth Base.

Hopefully they'll be stocked somewhere in the UK before I have to resort to such measures. EDIT: So I did this a while ago but didn't have a chance to post the pictures until now. I think this is a mainly plain colour scheme now. I think I'm going to order a few hundred 1x2 tiles next month with should cover the whole base for under a tenner! So here are the main changes that I have made so far: Here you can see I've made the wall mostly black and dark grey. I kept the trans red and blue parts out of personal preference. The brown parts at the top are part of the outside 'camouflage'. Here is the rest of the wall and now you can see the escape hatch is now all plack and grey. This was probably the most multi-coloured part before. For the second floor I decided to create a prison and a prototype weapon storage (i.e. Mostly brick built weapoons). Here is Wat Tambor, leader of the Techno Union army, even if he makes a daring 3 inch drop, he's attached to a chain a la Slave Leia. And here's the weapon storage. These weapons were previously seen in the yard but have now been moved over here. The flame trooper is climbing up the ladder to get his flamethrower. How will he get down, though? Still waiting for those Arf troopers... I've ordered one clone battle pack (and a mandalorian one) off Amazon which is scheduled to arrive in a couple of days and I'll buy another one when they are available in Argos. I made this slightly more white so it would fit in better with the rest of the outpost but I still like the yellow colour scheme for the room. I've also made more subbtle changes around the base but they're not worthy of pictures. As always, please post what you think.

Does anybody know when the next ToyFair that TLG will be going to is? I can't wait until we see better pictures.

I love the MOC as such - at first I didn't have a clue what it was but then I slowly worked out who each of the figures were. I do have to agree that this isn't really what this particular contest is about, though.
