Man I love this time of year. :D
4477: Looks like a mix of gray and white with dark gray wings. Good little
set IMO.
4478: Ok. This is where it gets REALLY cool. If you've seen the Incredible
Cross Sections book for Episode 2 you know that the Geonosian fighter's gun
and thruster are mounted on ball joints. I've tried to figure out how to do
this in a small enough space...but now look!! Big ball joints!! WOW WOW
WOW. What a useful part. That fighter is perfect. And is that burnt
orange (rust) for the wings? Hope so.
Also:
-Sand red battle droids.
-Three of the new 6x6 solid dishes we saw in the ISD. Very cool. And
someone pinch me...is that a 3x3 dish?! Or is it a 3x3 disc from technic
sets?
4479: Looks ok. Fits in with the other TIE Fighters. I'll wait for a
clearance on this one. Maybe I can get it for $8 like the TIE-Fighter.
4482: I'm impressed. They seemed to have done this one nicely. 6
superball joints! Great colors in this one. 8 medium blue tiles. Some dark
red. I'd like to know how the front with the tran neon green is built.
4484 through 4487:
GIMME. Man I hope these little guys are cheap. They look like candy. :-)
That Snowspeeder and Jedi Starfighter are my favorites.
Adventurers:
Great to see this theme still going. I love the new location. A bit
juniorized (and I don't say that much) but still cool. I can already hear
the Castle folks collectively turning over in bed with visions of that
sword. :-)
Looks like a good year in my opinion.
-Jon

| Me again.. As I attempt to ignore the new atrocity that is the hockey theme, I would like to note just how amazingly cool the new creator sets are.. Mini-Mecha. Animals. Mini-Mecha and Animals.

| (...) Yah, it's like Christmas in August :) (...) No, I think the wings are light gray. You can see dark gray in the 1x3 inverted slope right above the pilot's head, and the wings are far lighter than that. I think the angle makes them look a (...)

Looking at the painted shields, there's a red line that seems about the right place that a 2x2 dish would end..looks about (...)

| Wow! The AT-TE is definately a steping stone to a possible AT-AT. The micro-fig scale Star Wars stuff is too big to be to scale with the (nano-fig scale) USC Star Destroyer. On the other hand they are really cool looking, and if they are (as they (...) (22 years ago, 10-Oct-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)

| (...) Jon you are absolutely right! All these new sets rock, especialy the new super ball joints (can't wait to use on a mecha!). Just as a side note too; since all these sets are going to be coming in to stores, be watching for good clearance deals (...)
