Wow that Shuttle is just absolutely incredible, I haven't been this blown away since the first pics of the UCS Falcon and AT-OT and Dropoship...It looks just like some the best MOCS out there. This looks like it will be very close to true scale and for once...FOR ONCE...I think we will be getting a shuttle with an actual BOARDING RAMP. I really hope there is an interior since even though it will most likely be considered UCS, it is a smaller hull than the MF, and even though it never appeared in the films in close detail, behind the scenes pics show it is a simple interior with simple seats. I know there was speculation about there being a possible landing ramp, which I would have loved to have seen, but for the price point, the shuttle would have had to have been much smaller. I am super happy with just the shuttle br()wnie

Wow there are some really great ideas so far- really like the idea of "beatles"esqe rocker with Sgt. Pepper's uniform Gender: Male Occupation/Print on torso: Future soldier (Gears of war) sort of like Dino Attack with stuff all over it like ammo clips and spray painted on unit number Type of Headgear: new sculpt, future military helmet with cool new visor ala gears of war Type of Facial expression: snarling, scared faced with 5 o'clock shaddow color on torso/legs: grey/grey or grey/drk grey or combos of Accessory: maybe a new gun mold that isn't too violent. But definitely futuristic body armor so we don't have to use that hard to find samurai armor any more... Gender: Female Occupation: Female Zombie to accompany male zombie from first wave type of head gear: already existing hair mold or maybe crazy hair that looks like it is standing up Facial expression: Zombie woman....crooked mouth just like first zombie color on torso/legos: print of torn blouse and skirt or pants. maybe light pink shirt and blue pants or skirt accessory: no idea, something clever that I'm not clever enough to think up Gender: Male Occupation: Superhero ( hopefully they could do more than one, ala a hulk like hero, an iron man type one, a captain america type, an insect inspried one...) type of headgear: casual male hair for hulk like one, but new helmet mold for iron man looking one, military helmet (toy story one) for captain America one Facial expression: all would be grimmacing or smiling color of torso/ leg: I don't know if Marvel or DC owns specific rights to colors, but hulk one could have purple pants and green muscle torso...cap obviously red white and blue...not sure on the legality of that accesory: everything from shield for captain america type one, maybe a trash can for hulk I'll try and think up more orginal ones later, but Lego really really needs to give us futuristic military guys, something that doesn't specifically look like anything else but looks like everything, something we can make our own... that isn't space police or star wars. New body armor accesory!!! br()wnie

I can't believe it took this long to get visors on the rebel pilots. I remember using one of my exo-force heads with the trans orange visor printed over their eyes on a rebel fig, looked great despite the anime styled face. These are really nice looking battle packs, can't wait to get a few of each br()wnie

I love these as always- only as stated before in the thread- hope there is a saw tooth attachment for the sci-fi gun, unfortunately, as is, it looks a little too far off from the original 'inspiration'. Definitely has its appeal as a generic sci-fi weapon though. I find it very interesting ( and quite welcome) that will is creeping into star wars... After Little Armory went down, and started up as that other site, I have yet to place another order with them. Brickarms have an unrivaled quality that will carry over wonderfully into star wars. Cannot wait for further weapons from that galaxy- here's to hoping for custom lightsaber hilts and clone weaponry. I know this isn't a request thread but I am really hoping that Will delves into gear- like body armor and head gear the is sci-fi generic, not directly inspired, but that would be great too- i would love to see some Gears of War suits- great stuff keep up the great work br()wnie

Absolutely beautiful! Love the exterior the most, but inside is stunning. I these modular building sets and custom ones you guys create. Wish I could afford to get one of these. Fingers crossed for a movie theatre. Once again Stunning! br()wnie

Thanks alot everyone-ricecracker that is definitely something to consider and something to consider fast. Unfortunately we will only be in Chicago for a couple of days, so I am not sure whether it will be smart for us to throw down the cash...even though I would absolutely love to. In your opinion is the sale at the Lego store worth it... does it become to over crowded? I am just trying to gauge what kind of sets they typically have and do people usually get a fair share> Thanks a bunch br()wnie

hey guys- ill be going with my girlfriend on Saturday most likely as a public attendee- I was just curious about this whole thing with local lego stores?... I believe i read some where here in the comments that they open up and have a number of sets marked down due to damages or something. I saw pictures of a massive line waiting for the store to open. Just wondering if any one knew what day this would be happening? Sorry if this has been answered before- looking forward to the event br()wnie

its official i can predict the future...or i am an amazing planner.... I live in columbus and every time I go to Easton I walk around i say to myself...or anyone that will listen " why doesn't lego put a store here...." Easton was designed by guys who worked on Down town Disney, it definitely has that vibe even thought it is central Ohio. There really are no toy stores there they will make a killing...from me and other people might help too. I hope it is a good sized store and really hope it opens within the year. PAB here I come!!! this just made my week. Thank you so so so so much lego. I used to have to go to Chicago to get my fix. br()wnie

I just made a purchase when i picked up the grevious on clearance...using a coupon i needed to added a couple more cents to it to get the money off, decided to do PAB... just did minifig parts (naboo fighter pilot) torso and brown legs... got the brown legs, no torsos... once had to replace the slope cone piece that is part of the 4504 millenium falcon cockpit...they sent it to me in sand green. There really is no guarantee that you will get the correct stuff...its a shame

Ah man that home 1 is great, very neat concept, I guess I was picturing something like the venator or ISD with a flip open interior, but this is a very cool little playset. This one will do amazing and Lego will see that playsets sell well ( we get the bunker, little hoth set and this) so lets hope for more The venator interior is looking kind of small- will have to wait for pics, wish the commandos had open helmets like the spartan helmets that some of them had, still look pretty cool though If we do get this new Millenium falcon we can almost be certain it will be a an Ep.VI version with lando and Nien Numb, i would love to see one about 50% bigger then the previous one, with alot of detail like the UCS but with some great interior, would be cool if it was around $200 br()wnie

edit: not on topic

ah these sets are looking better and better- 1. Ashoka's fighter is cool- glad to see we are getting more fighters- hopefully then can justify some more- maybe plo's with those white stripes down it? 2. Clone battle pack is a must- cannot wait for this- i am definitely going to pick up like 4 or 5 of these 3. The Tie is great- love the use of the original box art- very nostalgic- i just hope that in '09 we get some new OT stuff- like rancor and wampas and such that we havent gotten yet- but i like the idea of some redesigns with super detail- I am still holding out for a new Falcon with realistic interior with a $200 price point 4. The attack shuttle is cool i just dont like the fact that the front wont have the opening hatch and ramp...lego has something about including ramps on their shuttles (oh that is one i would like to see redesigned for '09 btw- the imperial shuttle) AAT looks good- larger then the original- hopefully it has some sort of interior- like the new yoda and mace- hope they keep making new figs instead of repeating obi wan and anakin i hope we will get some republic officers like Wulf Yularren (sp?) to add ranks to our armies- and some play sets would be nice br()wnie

i like the last little powerloader thing because it reminds me of just that- the powerloader from aliens...the rest is ok- i just dont understand these extreme color schemes- it would be a total buy for me if they were mostly gray with accents of the lime green or something ...

the clone battle pack looks decent- at least it will solve the shortage problem the droid bomber looks terrible- might be my first skip in a long time the AAT tank looks good- bigger then the original i thought it was supposed to come with that alien leader? my biggest gripe is the shuttle- why is TLC so against giving us boarding ramps on our shuttles- the nose of this republic shuttle is supposed to have the front boarding ramp- heck is plays a prominent role in the film- ashoka comes down the ramp and meets anakin- i was really hoping for it- and didn't get it o well the tie looks great- it would be great to see a whole line of anniversary sets that where ultra detailed and movie accurate and all OT

I would love the new Y-wing as a set- its interesting with the added plates that make is a little more arrow-like and the bubble turret might be a little difficult to do but i think it can be done. I don't know about any one else, and I know TLC has said no play sets but i really think its time to add to the playability- i mean we can get 35 different hogwarts casltes but we cant get an endor bunker or landing pad- or a decent hoth base so lets alteast get some playsets for the new series- something to pit these new AT-TE and RGS against
