Awesome, thanks for the link!The CTT looks much smaller than I expected, and there's lots of yellow pieces and exposed technic beams/bricks on the interior. However, the outside looks very detailed, and the AT-RT is fantastic! It looks excellent for an official model. And it does look like there's a handle (it's jutting out of the top in the pic ) on the CTT so it can attach to the Republic Dropship set! Not sure if it's worth $120 USD, but I'll wait for more pics before making a judgement. The Hoth Wampa Cave looks spectacular! It'll be a chance for me to get my first snowspeeder, and a Hoth Luke (who has new torso and head printing)! Plus, the Wampa looks great! The gaps on the inner parts of its arms are a bit annoying, though. I also don't like how Zev Senesca is in this set as well as the battle pack. It would have been better to get a different head at least. For a $40 USD set, it doesn't seem all that bad. But overall, these two sets looks great! And five more days until clearer pics!

This video has already been posted twice.

Yay, another LEGO game! I really enjoy playing Traveller's Tales' games, so I bet that this will be a blast! Can't wait for more details.

Happy birthday mutley! It's always great seeing pics of your gigantic amassment of MISB sets. Hope you had a wonderful day! Wow! I hope you have fun building the whole first wave (minus Luke's Landspeeder)!

Happy birthday Oky Wan! I hope your special day was filled with lots of fun and family!

Wow, this is really cool! I can even see Speed Racer sets inside "The Big Shop"! Great find!

Thanks for the pics Brick Town Talk! It looks even better now! Lots of new pieces/colors, like the dark green windows, new arch pieces, quarter curved slope pieces, the return of those gigantic windshields (never knew that piece existed until now!), a whole bunch of 1 x 3 light bley tiles on the roof, trans-clear headlight bricks (who'd've thought that we'd get them in a trans color!) and much more! The top two floors are a bit empty with only 2/3 tables, but the highly detailed ground floor and the size of the building (it takes up the whole baseplate, unlike Fire Brigade and Green Grocer, which have a backyard). It's really cool how Jamie and the other designers (if there are any) added some great details like the mannequins (great how they come with smiley face heads instead of blank ones!), the chandelier (although I wouldn't place it on the toy section of the building ), and the billboard (the minifig head is simple but effective!). I also love how one of the minifigs has a pair of blue jeans and "underwear" so he can "change". They've been in sets since the summer 2009 wave.

I think the main way we communicate through to TLG is by answering the polls they put out every once in a while and by making comments in the Embassy section of the forum, where LEGO Ambassadors (like CopMike) compile our comments and send the main ideas to TLG. Also, Jamie Berard (the designer of modular buildings and other fantastic sets) is a member, so he might be reading our comments.

I did a couple screengrabs of the video (thanks for the link Christian!): http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/ILikePi/...screengrabs.jpg The picture is a bit big, so I'm not going to deeplink it. Enjoy!

That seems to be a reversed image of the UK Toy Fair picture (look at the reversed watermark on the bottom right and the word "LEGO" reversed on the top right). Great find! Now we can see the whole game more easily.

Here's part of my list of parts that I like very much but that aren't universally acclaimed: Chain I always wonder how TLG manages to mold the chain links together without having them stick to each other when the plastic is still liquid. Large flame I love how this piece is marbled from trans-red to trans-yellow! Also, it has a great shape. Temple of the Crystal Skull raised baseplate I like how there are lots of pits and different elevations on this baseplate! It provides lots of MOCing ideas, for example, brickzone's Agents HQ. Flick-fire missile I don't really understand why people hate this so much. It gives lots of extra playability, and you don't have to fire it if you don't want to! They've also been used as non-FFM related things, like the left guns of the AT-ST and Chief Chirpa's staff. I like how there are now two colors of FFM pieces, too (see above for the red version)! Hopefully that'll lead to more colors in the future. There's probably even more things that I find spectacular, but I'll leave my list like this for now. EDITed on 2/8/10 because I just noticed that Svelte said "parts that are not universally loved". Oops!

Congratulations Big Cam! You're now the first actual Grand Duke.

3211 LEGO Truck looks very interesting. Pretty cool how TLG decided to provide us with a truck that delivers minifigure scaled brick bucket sets to minifigs!

Wow, the Portal of Atlantis (or, as the box says, "US Productnam" ) looks amazing! Lots of cool stuff like the gigantic shark's head, stone shark statues, and the Aqua Raider diver skeleton (hooray for hints to past themes )! I'll definitely have to get this if it ever goes on sale. Svelte already linked to them in the previous page.

Yay, clear preliminary pictures! I don't have much to comment on the Clone Turbo Tank, Slave I, Plo Koon's Starfighter, and Hoth Wampa Cave, but the CTT looks a bit colorful on the inside and Boba Fett and Bossk both look spectacular! General Grievous' Starfighter looks very large with 454 pieces! I love the look of Nahdar Vebb, but will wait for closer pics of Grievous before commenting on him. I'm not so sure about EV-A4-D, though. It looks like he has a new torso piece that has a "neck pole", but he looks pretty inaccurate. Also, if his face isn't printed, it would be horrible! I like Darth Vader's torso print, it really makes it look like he was badly burned. I don't really like the overall look of Palpatine's Shuttle though. The medical droid looks very cool, but the ship itself seems a bit colorful with the mix of white, both shades of bley, dark red, and dark tan. Also, it's great to get piece counts on the boxes so we know the approximate price of each set. Now I really can't wait for even closer pics than these and videos showing the features of each set at the New York Toy Fair!

Oops, I almost forgot! Happy birthday to our favorite Sith moderator! Hope you get increased force powers and LEGO! And there's still about three hours left of your birthday over here, so I'm not late!

Go the exclusives section of the site or click here. For some reason searching for the set or looking in the Creator theme doesn't yield any results...

Wow, the middle floor looks great! Also, a quote from LEGO Shop: Seven minifigs! So apparently the ground floor is a clothing department, the second floor is a housewares department, and the top floor is the toy department (complete with toy house and push scooter)!

Thanks KimT! Now I have accumulated three tags in a period of just one month!

The most difficult LEGO set I've ever build has got to be the Technic Hailfire Droid. You build one section of the wheels, then you turn the page and it shows "2x"! Each wheel build very lengthy, so it's really frustrating that you have to make two exact copies of the same thing.

Today I bought: 852748 Pirates Coin Bank for $10, normally $20 (stay tuned for a review!) 6193 Castle Building Set for $5 USD, normally $10 (there might be a review of this in the future) 7567 Traveler for $3.50 8072 Sea Jet for $3.50 8073 Manta Warrior for $3.50

KimT, can I get my tag? Today's my one year anniversary on Eurobricks! 1700 posts (now it's 1701 ) one year membership as of today 31% of posts are in the LEGO Star Wars forum

My brother has a Transformers Risk board game that he got from a cousin. I can take a picture of the board if you need some inspiration. There's a couple of sliding and rotating pieces that are on the board, too. You should try putting features like that into your board to make it more interesting (by using pieces like bricks with grooves and turntables). Good luck on your endeavor!

That looks very intimidating! I like the usage of purple parts from current sets (Ambush in Cairo, Smash 'n' Grab, Construct-a-Zurg), and it complements your Okymobile very well. I also like how you got Zurg to fit in without removing his capes or anything!

Wow! I love the progress on your city. The interior of the house is very detailed, and you put lots of foliage all over the city! My favorite part has got to be your LEGO Store. You even got the signature giant 2 x 4 red brick! I'll have to make an accurate LEGO Store of my own some day!
