One of my Imperial Officers from my imp Inspection somehow got a little piece of his smile scratched off or rubbed off or worn off or something. Any ideas on how to fill in the little space? It's extremely noticeable... And I think paint would make a blob since it's on a small portion of his smile. Water color will just come off...

Permanent Marker?

NO! Whatever you do, don't use permanent marker if you want it to look at all natural. Permanent marker looks terrible. I would advise paint with a pen or some thing and then let it dry completely. Other than that I don't know.

What's NSF with VD ? I saw the MTT at a Walmart some time ago. At my TRU they have it and the Republic Ship that's 100$. They have most of the new ones, but I don't have enough.

Naboo Starfighter with Vulture Droid. Any chance you could provide proof that your stores carry these sets which right now are so rare?

I wonder when the Rebublic Cruiser comes available? Its awesome.

-ZotS

EDIT: Pen isn't too good... For the ink to actually cover it you have to do a lot of movement which cause scribbles on his smile... Had to wash it off several times... Any other ideas?

I got the Naboo Fighter. It's good. I like Anakin. It's hard to launch the vulture droid torpedoes, though. The Naboo Fighter is cool, but I don't like the launcher. It always fires and I had to use my other launcher, cause I couldn't find it after it fired.

Dude... the movie contest already isn't accepting any more submissions. I had an idea too, but it would've involved the Republic Cruiser.

Yeah...order another head from the S@H replacements parts section.

They!!!! Did you guys know that the Hoth Rebel base and the Repbulic Cruiser are both on LEGO S@H The base is $49.99 and the cruiser is 'gasp' 89.99


All for now,

And for those who want it, here's a link for the Cruiser and another one for the Rebel Base.

Has anyone noticed that the TIE pilot helmet is just a black stormie helm? It should actually have a different mold than a stormtrooper. So should the AT-AT pilot... Although the AT-AT pilot would have the same mold as a TIE Pilot

But it's more cost-prohibitive to create a new mold, which would have raised the price of sets with TIE and AT-AT pilots. As the helmets are similar, and neither the TIE nor AT-AT pilots are very important in the film, ecxept maybe for their vehicles, and are rarely seen outside of their vehicles, I don't think it's that big of an issue.
BTW, why bring it up now?

The rebel base looks a bit overpriced IMO.

It's going to be $10 more from TRU, I believe. The Cruiser, too.

Yes, Echo Door and Radiant VII are $50 and $90 from S@H, respectively. Does anyone else think the 4500 snowspeeder from '04 is better than the one in Echo Door? 4500's cannons were more accurate and cooler. The only improvements I can see are the cockpit and rear harpoon. Plus, 4500 doesn't have any stickers, while the new one has stickers. Also, the new one has a strange gap in the engines. And was Luke's snowspeeder gray? Because it looked orange...

Luke's was definitely gray, if you looked very closely in some of the flying scenes, or if you just looked at it at all when the AT-AT stepped on it. As for which is better, I don't have 4500, but I can tell you that the speeder in Echo Door is more accurate that the 1999 one (I still love it, though).

Has anyone got a gold C-3PO yet? They're so awesome...

As far as I know, no one on BZP has one, but at least three people on a LSW forum have one, and at least two of them aquired theirs thru sets. If you want one, chances are pretty slim, with them going for $100+ on eBay, and a 250 to 1 chance in each set.

Onua301: I still think 4500, from '04, is better, although I agree the one from Echo Door is more accurate then the '99 one.

Unfortunately, All three snow Speeders are OVER Mini-fig scale. There's some mini-fig scale ones on brickshelf though.

ZOMG I have the MTT.

Today's my birthday and I am getting JSF, Y-wing, and GGSF. I will give ya'll my top pick after I build them. Here's hoping for a gold C-3PO (or two) wish me luck!

I was just wondering.... What's the latest news on the Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga ? Is there a release date set for it yet? Do we have any screenshots of the new characters or new levels ? And.. how about the New AT-AT,is it a late fall or early winter set?

November $50.00 USD, not really..., and idk

yay, i got the Naboo strftr and the sith infiltraitor, lol i have 2 darth mauls now!

i got an episode 3 obi insteaded of jinn

Landon53, the complete saga comes out sometime in November.

-ZotS

That was an error in the first wave of released Republic cruisers. LEGO customer service will replace it for free though!

I opened my GG Starfighter earlier and you'll never guess what I found!!

I'll try to post pics tomorrow!!

You found a gold C3PO...?


I want one

-ZotS

Lucky!! Good for you!

Now all I have to do is find one...

No! I wish!! Sorry guys, I guess that was a little misleading but I found this:

But, any piece is a good piece and now I have another window pane.

That's... odd. And slightly disappointing. Well, someone'll get a 3PO I s'pose.

Now who will it be?

Aw, it was a door. Oh well, its still cool.

-ZotS

Hey guys, I heard they're going to release a totally remade complete saga on PS3, Wii, DS an X360.

That's old news. We've known about LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga for some time now.

Did you guys see the new motorized AT-AT? Currently $129.99, includes battery box and motor. Also comes with Luke Skywalker, General something, and 2 other figs. If you look at the Fall catalogue you'll see it. Its available now. I'm probably gonna get that instead of the MTT.

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=276448

General Veers is the guy. I rather prefer look accuracy over action features.

V'sF, It looks pretty acurate to me from the pics.
Anyway, I think it stinks that they're rereleasing episodes
1,2, and 3 in LSTVGII format. I would love to see what they
come up with.

-S82-

Really? "Veer"'s minifig appears to just be an AT-ST pilot from those pics Arcane linked to.

TMD

Well he is, except for the torso, which is an Imperial Captain's uniform. An inaccurate Veers with no new pieces... The pics of 2008 sets are already leaked, and the rebel helmets are dissapointing... Maybe it will change like Jabba's Sailbarge did since it had C-3PO, Bib, and Chewie... Maybe something like THIS.

I forget is it against the rules to post links to leaked images? If so, pm me the link please?

The 08 set pics are already leaked? Where, I want to see them? Can you post them or something?

I just saw pics of the 08 sets on Brickshelf. I think that they look
cool so far. The rebel helmets look like the old helmets with the visors.

-S82-

It is against the rule to post, PM or give directions on how to find leaked images.

However, on them themselves: Honestly, the Stormie dropship and rebel speeder both look a little bit jumbled together... But the 'figs make up for it. 4 Rebels in the Rebel Pack, and 3 Stormies and a Pilot in the other. The Rogue Shadow looks interesting, it's hard to make it out, though. The Hailfire droid is small, but it looks pretty cool. The AT-AP, however, looks very cool.

TMD

Does the buy 2 get 1 free count for starwars at TRUS?

Wow, those new sets look pretty cool. Nice to see they're continuing with the battle pack-type sets.

We're finally getting rebel fleet troopers? 'Bout time. I've been waiting on that for a while now... But if the helmets really are as disappointing as you guys say, I hope LEGO does some modifications.

Edit: What the hey-? I somehow ended up with a page from '05.

Anyway, Onua301, the helmets aren't that bad, IMO. They look similar to the LSW:TVGII ones.

TMD

Does anyone have a CP30 yet?
