Clonie

I made this BARC Speeder from the 7655 Clone BP by dissecting the turret. I like it more than TLG's official BARC Speeders, but that's just me.

The new rack is the same size as the old one isn't it? In theory it could work.

It carries 112 Droids.

I see you weren't one of the purchasers of Wookiee Attack. *ahem* I'm annoyed at TLG for making at least 3 decent attempts at designing the 74-Z speeder bike but at least 3 lacklustre attempts at designing a BARC Speeder.

I'd rather have two of those.

For those of us who like Droids it's probably a good thing. What I will buy from this lineup: 7913 - I think I will get a few of these, I like the Commandos and ARF troopers but I don't see the point in having two of the Bomb Squad Troopers in the one BP, all they do is disable bombs, there are Clone variants I would rather have let's just say... 7914 - I'll probably get at least one. 7915 - Well, I like it. I'll get this. 7929 - Do want, can always use more Droids. I'll eBay some of the new Pilots to replace old ones, too. 7930 - No thanks. Also I don't appreciate that after making Assassin Droid BPs, they go and change the fig. 7931 - I'll probably eBay Shaak Ti and Saesee Tiin, not buying this. I want mostly figs, rather than the sets. You know, I still can't tell if the V-Wing goes into landing mode.

We haven't had a minifig-scale TIE Fighter since 2005, which was the same as the original, almost. Seems like an UCS one is asking too much, haha. I guess they don't like it very much. I'd like a new one though, since they're making them in grey now.

Too bad I live in Australia I guess. I want a Trident Drill. Probably too obscure to be true, but then again they made the Ice Cutter.

See, if it was an Eta-2 I would be happy, since that's one of my favourite Star Wars ship designs, whereas the Delta's one of my least favourite. Apparently kids can't get enough of the Delta, though. They made an UCS one for crying out loud. commanderneyo: CW Greedo would be interesting. I really should watch CW. xD

Another triangle? Hope this is fake.

Haha that's gold. Couldn't have done it better.

I wasn't bothered by the lack of BARC Speeder since they practically gave it to us with the original Clone BP. It just needed a few mods; that is, using parts from the mini turret. Though I guess we could use proper ones, I mean for one they're not supposed to be that big compared to a minifig.

Are those larger sets something I would care about if I watched Clone Wars? Right now the care factor is quite low. Want the new Jedi figures though. The Droid Carrier looks nice. Sort of. Depends how many Droids it can fit. And it would be nice for me to finally get Gungans, too. I did just say that. All I can say about the V-Wing is it better be able to land properly. Mandalorian BP? I would pose the same question as I did before about CW. But still it's basically Jango Fett right there. I'll take one. Clone BP? I'll take ten. I can't help but feel this wave is lacking something, though. OT sets! That's it. They should make Boussh Leia. They haven't made that before have they? Maybe in a set with the Rancor (sp). They haven't made a Jabba set for a while. They could do something nice with it in this day and age. They haven't made an X-Wing for a while, I find that odd. In that time we've gotten two Slave Is and Grievous Starfighters, not to mention the last one wasn't a redesign. New X-wing could have a flesh Dagobah Luke and non-CW Yoda, possibly remade. Ghost Obi? Would be nice but probably not. They need a new S-foil mechanism also. It was cute but not efficient. I'm thinking a carbonite chamber, too, since we have that new carbonite dealy now. It could actually have a full-blown mechanism. Give it Bespin Lando and Leia, Lobot, Ugnaughts, Bespin guards, and the obvious, and call it an expensive set. Hey, I'd buy it. If we had those three sets we'd have every story-playable minifig from LSW II. TLG apparently decided that Endor Han and Luke don't exist. =P I want a new Qui-Gon, also.

A few Big Ws might have some Venators for $100. I saw two at Watergardens in Victoria but they were gone the next day. I was gonna get one. Grr. Hopefully someone else has more luck.

The Stars were a crappy end... they should have at least given us canister sets. Yeah, that's all I have to say on the matter. Eh.
