The Death Star's coming out on September 30th. S@H Link.

Hey, check out the Spring Events Calendar on the March-apri Issue:

Well, Bionicle Guru with Star Wars Lego news for ya. Just came back from Wal-Mart, and after oogling over the selection, immediately proceeded to dump items into my cart. The Lego items I purchased were the ARC-170 and the Clone Scout Walker. I was about to purchase the Clone Turbo Tank, when, for soem random reason, I decided to press Mace Windu's head and see that purple lightsaber.

Naturally, I was shocked when I pressed his head and saw his lightsaber shine...BLUE!

Yes, blue! No purple! Blue! I tried them all in the store, all were blue! Lego messed up royally, at least where I live. So I did not purchase the Tank.

Until somebody posts otherwise, I am officially warning all Star Wars Lego fans: avoid purchasing the Clone Turbo Tank for now since the piece for Mace Windu's lightsaber is not purple, but blue. If you really want a Mace Windu, don't buy that set yet.

Hopefully, Lego will fix that problem soon.

I don't think I'm going to avoid purchasing a set because the lightsaber lights up the wrong colour.

And the reason it's blue is because you can't get purple LEDs that small, so Lego aren't going to fix it.

Wow. Another reason not to get the CTT...
1. Pricey.
2. No Colors good for my upcoming Airship MOC.
3. Don't Really Want it.
4. Mace Windu's Lightsaber is apparently no longer an Electrum Lightsaber.

I'm not ditching it because of the blue lightsaber. I never really wanted it in the first place anyway.

Well, to mess up the only Jedi that has a special color lightsaber... seems like a pretty big mistake to me. I don't think I'd avoid getting the set because of it, but the CTT was the last set on my list anyway. My real priority is the ARC-170.

Don't get too excited over the Grievous fig; I like the cape, but the battle droid feet are a disappointment, and the arms, even though they fit four on him, are terrible to pose. Grievous just looks so absurd holding his lightsabers, and even moreso when he fights with them.

Oh, ok. Oh well. He's still my favorite villain so far from looks.

Mace Windu's lightsaber is blue just like everyone elses, including Undulae, whos is supposed to be green. It looks green in the end but the LED is blue. I got all the sets, and the Wookie Catameran, ARC-170 fighter, and Clone Turbo Tank are the best ones. Theyre all great except for the General Greivous Chase. By the way...does anyone know if theyre going to make a set that has Anakin without the microphone on his head?

Ah, for my 3000th post I get to rant about how awesome the ARC-170 fighter is. Of course I've ordered it, along with the other space-oriented sets. It's the best looking StarWars playset I've seen in awhile, and it just rocks.
Can't wait to get it.

-Wind-

The three thousandth is a great accomplishment. Good job!
Well, it looks like it won't matter anyway about the lightsabers... none of the sets I want have them!

The clone wars tv series are making me(and many others it looks like) BUY GG CHASE AND ALL WHATS RELATED WITH GG!!If that was George Lucas and Gendy Tartakovsky goal,they have did it.

Back to topic I would really like GG Chase and ARC-170 fighter,just look at then,one has 5 lightsabers and GG,and the other 3 clone pilots and a astromech droid.MUST-BUY-MUST-BUY

I got GG chase AND Wookie Attack yesterday! The Chase set is SHA-WEET! I like the minifig, and the AMs were K-EWL! I [SIZE=7] WILL [Size/] get every set. I saw the preview for ep. 3 also, and I can see the uses for the ships and stuff. Hey, guys, you can remove the transparent lightsaber piece and replace it with another. So you can make an orange FX lightsaber. Shweet, huh? Must... Buy... All.. Sets... Moo,

The G/V\ /-\ /\/

Looks like I'll be getting GGC. Can't wait! I just have to start a saving after I get Mobile Command Center today....

I have GG chase and General Grevious is a really good minifig. Only dissapointment is his battle droid legs.

I did not post that warning about Mace Windu's saber color to express any discontent I have with the set. I am not trying to create an attitude against it. I just know several Star Wars fans will really want to buy the CTT because it is the first set with Mace Windu and a purple lightsaber, and that they won't press his head because they don't want to waste the battery. Therefore, I did all those fans a favor who wouldn't have otherwise until they had spent a good $90, like I was about to.

Of course, now I realize you can find guys who sell custom lightsaber blades colored purple, so that problem is easily fixed.

You don't have to buy the set to know about the blue light-up. There's a "Try me" feature on the set.

Anyways, I couldn't care less about what colors the figs have. I hate the light-up figs in the first place (can't dissect for parts, can't move the wrist...), so I just make my own Mace Windu.

I bought all the Episode III sets at 12:00 April 2. They are all pretty cool. The Clone Turbo Tank rocks, although I can't figure out which clone is the driver. Mace Windu is cool too. The Wookie Catamaran is cool too. The Wookie warrior is cool and Luminara Unduli is pretty cool too. I don't see why everyone hates the light up lightsabers. I like them. The Droid Tri-Fighter has a very intresting design and the Buzz droid is cool too. I really don't have a comment for the Vader Transformation. The ARC-170 fighter is awesome! The piolets are cool and you get a red R2 droid. The Wookie Attack is cool as well. You get two Wookie warriors, a spider droid, and an awesome assault tank. I will review the rest of the sets later.

Lol, you went to the midnight premier too? My bro and I went, but we just got action figures. I got some sets at the LEGO Brand Store because I had two $10 off $50 coupons. The tank in the Wookie Attack is one of the greatest efforts I've ever seen made by LEGO. Rather than make the tread a huge piece of rubber, they had you make one up out of 69 individual links! Sweet stuff.

GG Chase, nothing too special there. I mostly got it for the minifigs (gotta have a non-light-up Obi-Wan, ya know). Pity that the lightsaber hilts are stone gray instead of the usual chrome.

Vader Transformation, not too much there. The Anakin minifig is cool, and I like the medic droid.

Clone Scout Walker: doesn't have the great walking motion the AT-ST set had, but it's got a heck of a construction. I like the clone fig, too.

Ultimate Lightsaber Duel is awesome, IMO. They got the atmosphere of Mustafar down pretty well (the great little details like the spurting fire or the lava-orange Alpha Team ice piece add a lot of color), and I think the pads you can put Anakin and Obi-Wan on to move them around are a nice touch, even if they're not the most responsive diddies.

I got GGC and DT yesterday.... didn't have MCC...
GG is awesome! So is the Wheel Bike!

Can some body show pics of the Clone Turbo Tank Aerial Trooper? I want to see if I can make one.

MMM...I'm wondering of of getting the Scout Walker. I mean its only $9.99 - $10.00.

I'm planning on getting the Scout Walker. Looks intresting, and -R-, I think the clone that wears the blue is the Pilot. (at least that's what the cataloge says.)


Aoi

MUSTAFAR? thought Obi and Anakin fought on Lok, well that ####, thought lok would fianlly get some action...

oh, and i have the grievous griefs too, the four arms look weird and battle droid legs... no.

Well, I picked up the Scout Walker earlier tonight, when I did, I saw another Star Wars toy called the ATRE(I think might of ATRT...), I was wondering is the Scout Walker and the other toy supposed to be the same vehicle?

Anyways, if those of you are wondering about the Scout Walker, I'd get it. I enjoyed the building process, and even like how it looks when finished.


Aoi

Yeah with every set I got each more expensive set is more fun than the cheaper one before it. Except it is really fun when you play with them all.

What is the Yellow Clone Trooper's name, and the green one. I couldn't read it in the catalog.

Here are the intructions for the Arial Trooper

back unit

-caution! large images here!-

(is still mad at lego for changing the name of the Juggernaut to "turbo tank")

Hmm.....well, I'm not a Star Wars nut - I haven't even seen all the films, and I don't get the story. But when I saw the Clone Turbo Tank in the latest Lego Catalogue I just couldn't help but want it.

So, I hope to be here often. The three sets I want are:

Clone Turbo Tank
Darth Vader Transformation
Cone Scout Walker.

I also want these minifigs, but I can't get them, but anyway:

Darth Maul
R2-D2
Those Red Guards Of Vader People...

If I do get the Clone Turbo Tank, I'd get the ever-cool battle-droids, whom are simply great.

Yes, the Clone Scout Walker and the AT-RT are the same thing. It is like how Lego juniorized the name for the Juggernaut into Turbo Tank. Scout Walker is much easier to say and to remember (for some, not for me) than AT-RT(All Terrain Reconaissance Transport).

Wasn't Lok that planet in the Starfighter game that was home to Nym and his pirates? Where you got the idea that was where Obi-Wan and Anakin fight, I do not know.

OH, i know it wouldn't be a good idea to leave that up which is why i deleted the pictures just now. piccies went by by off the net. the Treaded Droid is pretty sweet though the treads keep catching on the back discs that are put on the axle...so i ditched them! muahaha.

For some reason, ever since Ep.I came out I've taken a liking to Droids.I have all 3 technic droids, an AAT and am MTT.So, I guess Droid Tri-fighter would be best. Oh wait, I already ordered it

Ever since I saw those bizarre droid starfighters appearred in CW,
I dedicated those few hours to finding out what it was.BTW, once reading the descripton, I thought the Buzz droid was the pilot. But, upon moire inspection, specifically the "hidden inside" part, I realized it wasnt the pilot, but could be deployed to "Buzz" some clone troopers.

I've always liked robots..so I'd be naturally attracted to the SW droids. ; and was all three technic droids the 1.)Pit Droid, 2.)Battle Droid 3.)Super Battle Droid?

I only have the Pit Droid built, and purchased a SBD for pieces.

Tilius, if you want the Minifigs without buying the sets, I'd have to advice hitting up Bricklink.com to get the individual minifigs. I might start doing that for mini-figs I'd like to get.

Also, a bit of advice for the Clone Scout Walker, if you have one of those grey light saber bars, or a spare light saber bar, I'd slip it in between the two 1x1 Round w/Hollow studs. It'd kind of keep them from popping off so often. (I don't have a spare light saber bar to test this, however. If someone can lemme know how it works out, it'd be greatly appreciated.)


Aoi

I'm in lurve with custom Jedi. Anyone know where I can get Twi'Lek minifigs from Jabba's palace, Greedo minifigs and Dooku's saber, complete with red thingie? I plan to make alien Jedi and Sith. I have been in love with droid sets since day one. I wish I had some Geonosian Battle Droids. Sand pink is a cool color. Moose out,

The G/V\ /-\ /\/

Lego's version of the jet pack is cool, but not very accurate. If you want to see the art they used to make the movie version, it is on the EP. III 'Art of Revenge' section. Unfotunatley, I can't make one, even an un-color-quardinated on 'cause I only have one rifle from throbot scuba.

-KN

i wish they made a lego crab droid.

for those who dont know what a crab droid is, its a four legged giant brown droid from the separatists.

I wish they make Jedi Council, I wish they make Shocktroopers squadron, I wish they make Invisble Hand Duel... I can wish all day. But it never came real...
