August 19, 201311 yr It goes for over half an hour... no way in the world am I watching it. If there's no stop motion or time lapse or at least something showing intermediate steps, then that is incredibly unnecessary.
August 19, 201311 yr It goes for over half an hour... no way in the world am I watching it. If there's no stop motion or time lapse or at least something showing intermediate steps, then that is incredibly unnecessary. If you think that's bad, you should check out Michaelmgf's review of the new gunship, it's 43 minutes long! Anyways the review isn't that bad, but JANGBRICKS in my opinion has a better review, but it's still the same length, just in two parts, the first goes over the minifigures and speeder bike if you care about those, part 2 has the actual village. part 1 part 2 Anyways this review is really good and allowed me to see features on the ewok village that I didn't even know existed. It's truely an amazing set.
August 19, 201311 yr I've mentioned and blogged Legend Bricks' review before; I think it's still the best, most thorough one out there so far. And it's written, text-based, and pictorial; I don't like video reviews in general. Always seem to be unnecessarily long and spend too little time or no time at all on the details, and I'd much rather read a good description and opinion than listen to what is usually someone giving me basic information of what's shown in a video. Plus I can read a review at my own pace, spending as much or as little time on each section as I want, and a well-formatted, written, and photographed review always gives me the impression of having had more thought and careful work put into it. That being said, Jang's review is very nice and definitely better than I think any other video review I've seen.

I agree, most video reviews are just full of "Um" and "Uh" and up being 20 minutes long, only giving about one minute of opinion while the rest being basic things you can read on lego.com. While I do prefer text reviews, I don't think this one went very deep in some of the features. The photography is good, but I would have preferred a bit more.
August 19, 201311 yr I agree with Darth Nader Written reviews are better, also with text ones you don't have to worry about buffering.
August 20, 201311 yr My Ewok village arrived today, looking forward to building it with my girlfriend when she comes over. It'll be her first real Lego build :).
August 28, 201311 yr Yoda Chronicles Ep 2 airs on September 4th at 8/7c! [snip] -Sci Not really on-topic in a topic about 2013 sets. Moving to Culture and Multimedia.
August 29, 201311 yr Just out of curiosity, do we know yet what minifigures are in this year's advent calendar besides Santa Jango, Young Boba, Endor Rebel, Scout Trooper & Astromech Droid???
August 29, 201311 yr Just out of curiosity, do we know yet what minifigures are in this year's advent calendar besides Santa Jango, Young Boba, Endor Rebel, Scout Trooper & Astromech Droid??? Here are all of the contents of the Advent Calender. Edited August 29, 201311 yr by just2good
August 30, 201311 yr Where's are second Christmas model? Is that brown model next to jango? Yes. Appears to be some sort if sled with his jet pack
August 30, 201311 yr Yes. Appears to be some sort if sled with his jet pack Thanks, probably some sort of jet sleigh or something similar.
August 31, 201311 yr This years advent calender has a better selection of figures than last years. The inclusion of little bobo fett is curious though.
August 31, 201311 yr This years advent calender has a better selection of figures than last years. The inclusion of little bobo fett is curious though. As with jango boba needed a redesign but TLG were to lazy to make slave 1 so they slipped both characters into other sets.
August 31, 201311 yr The Clone LT's promotional availability starts tomorrow in the US; considering order and delivery times, it'll likely be a few days or about a week before the flood of butter bars starts.
August 31, 201311 yr I imagine what those people feel who bought these lieutenants for hundreds of dollars from ebay after the Lego event and now it's available at S@H
September 1, 201311 yr It's not coming up for me , there's just a mini VW Kombi. Don't tell me I waited a month to order stuff for nothing!
September 1, 201311 yr Shows up for me. US page is here. Can't find it on the Australian page, though.
September 1, 201311 yr Shows up for me. US page is here. Can't find it on the Australian page, though. That's what I meant to say. Looks like it's US & Canada only! Hopefully only temporary.
