Posted June 23, 200717 yr Well it'd be rude not to introduce myself. Like a lot of people on this lovely forum I was passionate about Lego as a child but once I started to hit the "teenage"years I gave it up, well I am still technically a teenager but now I no longer fall prey to the whole notion of being "cool," thank god! All this changed with the release of the Lego Star Wars games and while playing them I decied to have a quick look at Lego.com to look at all the new and rather brilliant Star Wars sets, since that was my faviourite theme as a child and I was instantly hooked and my bank balance has been taking a whole heap of punishment ever since. I've been lurking these forums for a while now and I though it's about time I joined up, so howdy. Edited June 23, 200717 yr by Eothein
June 23, 200717 yr Welcome! I was a long time lurker as well. Eventually my desire to vote in some of the polls persuaded me to join, then I made a comment, and then I gave up lurking and introduced myself. Have you just been buying Star Wars Lego lately? (Unfortuantly for me, I tend to like, and buy, all.)
June 23, 200717 yr Author Welcome! I was a long time lurker as well. Eventually my desire to vote in some of the polls persuaded me to join, then I made a comment, and then I gave up lurking and introduced myself.Have you just been buying Star Wars Lego lately? (Unfortuantly for me, I tend to like, and buy, all.) I've not been buying as much as I would like too due to a lack of finances, the latest set being the rather beautiful B-Wing a few weeks ago. Still as soon as they hit the store shelves I think I may pick up the new Jedi Starfighter and Hyperdrive ring, the Hoth base set and the Republic Cruiser, I'm not too keen on the Episode One sets and the Tie Crawler doesn't excite me in any way. I'm also building up a small collection of Town sets and I can't wait for the Service Station. That and the new Mars Mission mission stuff looke rather good, well the Astronaut sets look good, the jellies are well :-X Edited June 23, 200717 yr by Eothein
June 23, 200717 yr the latest set being the rather beautiful B-Wing a few weeks ago Yes, I bought that a few months ago. Aside from instantly modifying so it didn't have the rubber-band weapon in the engine I have quite liked it. Much better than the last one. Even so, it is on my break list now, right after I finish sorting out my parts. I'm not too keen on the Episode One sets and the Tie Crawler doesn't excite me in any way. Oddly, as a "the new movies aren't as good as the old" type of guy, it surprises how much I wan the MTT. I don't even like the thing, but somehow the Lego one is appealing. I am sick. I'm also building up a small collection of Town sets and I can't wait for the Service Station. That and the new Mars Mission mission stuff looke rather good, well the Astronaut sets look good, the jellies are well :-X Yes, this year has been quite good. I considered buying the Service Station last week, but there are some sales due my way in a few weeks so I bought the Cement Mixer instead. Enjoy your stay on Eurobricks! the jellies are well :-X I have yet to find someone who like them. I am no exception! Edited June 23, 200717 yr by Sinner

I have yet to find someone who like them. I am no exception! I never expected the B-Wing to be soo big, I never owned the original but looking at old pictures this is almost UCS quality when compared to it. The ATT is a very impressive set but I'm nto keen on Battle Droids, I prefer the "human" sets. My problem with the Jellies is the lack of arms so they look rather silly when they sit on top their their ships just staring at the controls. I used to like the "new trilogy," but now when I look back at them Attack of the Clones and The Phantom Menace they pale in comparison to the originals, although I still love Revenge of the Sith. This years new sets have been the best yet with some great ideas with the new Factory sets and the new City sets. Now if only I had a spare
