Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
The FBTBForums.net have spoken, and they’ve picked who goes on to the final round. The top five will be picked by the moderators and then put up for a final vote.
Jabba’s Steampunk Barge by ACPin, above, was one of the top picks.
Rebelscum has the Hasbro presentation. Comic pack details start at slide 16. There’s also some new figures of interest in the Evolutions line – X-Wing fans, you can finally have a Hobbie to hang out with your Wes and Fel.
The Official Blog has pictures of new Clone Wars and Indiana Jones LEGO vehicles and sets, fresh from U.S. Toy Fair. Above, the V-19 Torrent. (You can see the Star Wars stuff a tad larger, plus descriptions, over at Gizmodo.) Warning to spoilerphobes: The Indy IV sets look like they contain some location spoilers.
Wizard has official photos of Hasbro’s Clone Wars line.
Yakface has an impressive gallery of pictures from the Hasbro booth, including some familiar faces from the Legacy comics and other EU faves.
Oh, and Deet? Gentle Giant is coming out with a Shirtless Darth Maul. I thought you should know.
Here’s another LEGO sci-fi gem – this Predator bust is the creation of Brickshelf user MisterZumbi. Brick or not, there’s something rather adorably Animal about it. (via)
You might want to also check out the Mini LEGO Star Wars sets featured on Gizmodo and TOSblog.
From Monsterbrick, the same mind that brought us the Steam War AT AT ELE Walker, a Turn of the Century Falcon. He also has a variety of original Star Wars LEGO creations.
Jedi News has been hitting the UK Toy Fair, and among their finds is another new character from The Clone Wars:
The LEGO Rep let us into a few spoilers including the fact there will indeed be a feature release in early September here in the UK (a couple of weeks earlier in the US), and he also told us about the characters included with these sets – don’t read the next sentence if you don’t want to know! Rotta is Jabba the Hutt’s nephew or son (there seemed to be some confusion about this) and the first 2 or 3 episodes centre on his kidnapping!
Presumably, he’s not anyone’s secret apprentice. Phew.
Check out their pics of the LEGO Rotta and other Clone Wars characters.
Yesterday was the final deadline for the FBTBForums’ LEGO Steam Wars contest. Behold the entries!
Above, an impressive latecomer: General Greeves’ Amazing Wheel Bike by “Big Daddy” Nelson.
Who are your picks for the winners?
