I must have a hunt around for pictures of the Sentinel at some point - not entirely happy with my current LEGO Mecha foot design it is going to work fine (as long as the digitigrade knee-joint holds the torso weight but only time will tell there) but I am not happy with it's range of motion, and I am studying other designs to see if I can gain inspiration from them at the moment.

I like the look of some of those sets - and the whole idea that there is a "Swamp Police" does rather amuse me. Not too bad a set there I think. Like the sound of a Sherrif, always like a good Wild West Lawman. Karl

A Lego Portaloo? Box image shows man inside presumably mid-business holding TP? XD

Ha, just seen the one from the Lego Movie "Flying Flusher" set... Which appears to be backing up as the plumbers run on with an axe and plunger!

General, prepare your troops for a surface attack.

AT-AT!! edit: I realise this could be confused to be referring to Phil's exploits (redefining the term "surface attack" judging from his little accident detailed in the other thread) or the Microfighters picture. It applies to both.

Daw! Who's da cutest wittle Death-Walker in the Galaxy? You are!
Seriously, that is a fantastic cutesy AT-AT. Finally living up to my mother's description of it as "The Star Wars Dog". Not bought any of wave one of the Microfighters, but I am tempted by that I will admit.

It's finished.
Technic nightmare. At one point I spent an hour applying sixty technic connector/stud pins.
The head is too big and the wrong shape outside yet far too small inside.
The new ATAT driver is just wrong,I'd like to see what reference Lego was using to make their armour grey/blue not white.
The missile launchers are brilliant, best ones I've seen for years. Missiles can be inserted into either side of the launcher and go a long way.
Mixed bag. Glad I didn't pay full price.

The Droid Tank and the Clone Tank are fab. Others are good but those two are really great

Finished the Cantina last night.
The Building was a joy and so much fun. However I didn't need another land speeder so the box felt like it wasted bricks on something rather than making the Cantina bigger. Yes it needs a Wuhrer, and 3 more Bith The second of those I can cure the next time the Cantina goes cheap. And I'll have to get a Jedi ScoutFighter for the Ithorian to go in here.

Spent some time on Saturday in Cardiff's Lego Store, choosing Christmas presents for my 6-year-old god-daughter and her 8-year-old sister. Their dad was dropping me e-mail hints that 'they' might like to receive some Star Wars Lego, but I opted for some Lego 'Friends' sets instead with animals and trees and stuff. The shop threw in a little Lego snow scene as a bonus.
May have to go back there at some point to get my 2-year-old niece some Duplo.

Not at all. Sure there are instructions to build a particular thing in most of the sets on the market. That was the case in 1980 as well. That doesn't stop a child/adult/thinglikeme then pulling that apart to scavenge parts to repurpose. In fact the last LEGO set I bought was actually purchased so that it could donate parts to an upcoming design of my own. (And the rest of the bits will end up mostly being worked into another I think).

That new Slave I is a thing of wonderment though! The 2015 one is a UCS set so you'd expect it to be in a different league to the others
