Not very well. The wheels themselves spin, but if you mean to actually push it along and rotate them, you may be disappointed. (I admit, the chase set isn't exactly the greatest LEGO's done; I mostly got it for the minifigs.)

Hey, got a great deal today. Jango's Slave 1 was £45, and reduced to £22. But the box was really bad, so it was cut in half again (the price, not the set) to £11. Score!
I'd like the Clone Turbo Tank sometime. I also like Jabba's Palace/Prize/Message. Nice way to get Boba Fett.

May 19 2005, 09:05 PM
Yeah, I think the Jabba sets are criminally underrated. Jabba's Message has to be one of the best moves LEGO's made; C-3PO, R2, and Bib Fortuana all in the same set for $7. Now THAT's a good deal.

To answer the above questions: there is no legitamite Plo Kloon minifig. However, some minifig mods have been made for a Plo Kloon figure by fans, so that is probably how you heard of one.
And yes, the Grevious figure has four arms, of the battle droid variety.

Hello everyone!
On Topic. I would like to report, (if it isn't "old news"), that set 10144, "Sandcrawler" is now listed on Brickset! Unfortunately, though, there are no pictures yet, as it is still in the "not yet released" faze of existence.
Off Topic. Brickset has undergone changes! Go check it out!
Well, there's my first post in this topic! Thanks a lot! (And please let me know if this is old news or not)

SWEET! I've been wanting a sandcrawler. I hope it comes with some new droids.

I just got a LEGO Clone Scout Walker. I will review it.
Price: FINALLY! A low-priced walker. 10/10
Minifigs: A Clone from Commander Neyo's Legion. Oh my gosh. 10/10
Set: The walker is really posable. But you need to put the walker in a certain position to stand it up right. There is a place to put the Clone's blaster. The gun moves. 8/10
Box: BORING.... I got the set because of a TRU display not the box. 6/10
Instructions: Easy to follow but it makes the pieces look darker. 9/10
Overall: Nice little set. Definatley a must by for Star Wars fans and army builders.
By the way, the Toys R Us display made wookie noises and laser sounds.

Sometimes I wish they had technic sets for Episode 3.
Episode I
Battle Droid, Destroyer Droid, Pit Droid.
Episode II
Jango Fett, Super Battle Droid
Episode IV-VI
Darth Vader, C-3PO, R2-D2, Stormtrooper
Now, for Episode III, they could have lots of Technic sets! Like a Clone Trooper, Commander Cody, General Grievous, stuff like that. Or even one of the Kashyyyk Camoflouge Clone Troopers with biker helmets.

Maybe it was a mini ARC 170 or TIE Interceptor. Whenmy brother got me one (how nice) it came up Star Wars PROMO. Go to legoshop.com for pics of a super battle droid.(If they still have a gunship in stock.) Oh and Black Widow, they are called BARC troopers not Kashyk Camaflouge troopers.

I think the reason it changed blue, Gaaki; Lego used a blue LED instead of a purple or white LED. (Purple not being used because it uses up more power off the battery, than a red, blue, green or white one would.)

And LED stands for Light Emitting Diode - it's a little chunk of semiconductor that gives out light when you run electricity through it. They are available in many colours, the most common being red and green. However, miniaturising them is not so easy. Red, green and to a certasin extent blue LEDs are cheap to miniaturise, but multiple-colour configurations, secondary colours or nonvisible light frequencies are much more expensive. They can go down to about 5mm in diameter.

I wouldn't reccomend the ARC-170 for the price they're asking. But if it were $25 or even $30 I would be more likely to buy it. I just don't think it's worth the $40. Same with the Juggernaut. It looks more like a $50 to $60 or even $70 set. Not $90.

(Yaay, now I don't have to pay $18 for it...although I might pay that much for one in blue..)
Anyways, pretty nifty set...it even comes with a Mini-mini R2. well, okay. I might just be pushing it on that. It's just a spare Technic pin 1/2 and a white 1x1 plate.(which represents R2 on the Starfighter.) But it kinda looks like it could be R2...

Sorry I couldn't pm you Bakuta, been rather busy.
Bricklink is pretty reliable, but you've gotta watch what store you're ordering from. Try something local, and try and do most of your shopping from one store.
Email the store owner even, and try and get some info on their reliability.

Not available in any sets yet.
That was found with a quick bricklink search. Though, I believe lego had a display
of Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter was made at one point, so some do exist..somewhere.
Though, the mold exists now...so eventually we'll get them in different colours.
