I'm now selling my entire Clone Wars line. Check the first updated post and don't hesitate to contact me for details...

First models of German Stahlhelm (= steel helmet) were used during WWI, a time when the Nazim ideology itself didn't even existed yet... See : My link . Some variants are still used today in some armies ! About the collar markers, please do not confuse the "lightning stylized double S" from the Waffen SS with the standard insignia from the Wehrmacht, which is pictured on the Johann minifig torso... More infos here : My link I agree with you that some customizers push the realism too far. I've been ashamed to see full SS minifigs for sale on ebay lately... But don't be too fast in assimilations...

Woohoo, quite a few items from my Wanted list gone, thanks to all ! Many new items added to my trade list above, along 64 SW guns now for trade !

Does the utility belt from a fellow Belgian citizen interest you ? I'm sure I have a black one, maybe even a white, but I have to check... I also have a plain light flesh head... Check my trading list at the bottom of this post, you might have something I'm look ing for too...

Hey guys, after a long absence, I'm back with a new project of WWII minifigs... So I'm looking for a LOT of pieces, while I'm offering some, IMO, quite good stuff for my fellow mocers. So check the first - updated mail - and don't hesitate if your eyes catch something

And +1 for KinGanon, thanks for a smooth and lightning transaction !

I disagree... I see those quotes as some kind of movies trivia/private jokes... Honestly, the quote from Bail made me smile... I really don't mind if they, from times to times, use a well-known film as a scenario basis, as long as it is well done... Just look at those few moments we had in season two, when Anakin is getting closer to the dark side and we hear a small sample of the Imperial March... Honestly, those moments are really good ! The "tribute episode" I liked the most was "Bounty Hunters". I'm a deep fan of Akira Kurosawa, and when I saw that this episode was a tribute to him, I must confess that I would have stopped definitely watching Clone Wars if it have not been done well... I really enjoyed Cat and Mouse, I only regret that they killed Trench so fast... The same for Holocron Heist... I'm more restrain about "Brain Invaders", but for a different reason : while for me the duo Ahsoka/Barriss worked well in the factory episode, here it does not work the same... that's my feeling... About the Zillo Beast... Well, the reference to Godzilla is obvious... I didn't liked a lot the episode, but I don't like and found the concept of the Dugs themselves pretty stupid from the start... I'm waiting the second episode... Even if I can smell, from ten thousand kilometers the King Kong reference coming... Well, as long as we don't end up with Ahsoka screaming while being tied to a pillar...

Here's the pic as promised. The Neimoidian pilot head is printed, as the others...

I'm not at home until tomorrow evening, I'll take a pic then... I also have an extra Neimoidian pilot head, will take a pic of it as well...

The first episode with Boba will air in two weeks on Sky TV (UK) or in three weeks on Cartoon Network (US). Boba will be present in the three final episodes of season two !

Updated with current items I have, and many items I'm now looking for (Prince of Persia and Toy Story)...

And another great deal with Jyves ! Thanks for the Gungan army Messa content !

I can't say for the rest of the world, but according to the retail catalogue I've seen in Belgium, set 7676 Republic Gunship and 7675 AT-TE will be discontinued in less than two months (not available after may 31st if I remember correctly...). So get it ASAP, it's a wonderful set !

This episode was a tribute to Akira Kurosawa, the film director of "7 Samurais".

Quite a nice set indeed ! The new weapons/body armor are a pure win for me. And as a Star Wars addict, those torsos would look quite good as Jabba's henchmen... No racism in what I'm going to say, but watching the cast and crew of the film at IMDB, I barely saw any arabic names... I think that Lego, as - mostly - for the past two years with licensed themes simply followed the pics they had access to... Again, no racism or whatever hidden thoughts in my comment.
