One of the sculptures from the Ultimate Collector Series line, this set consists of 1075 pieces and stands 14" tall. "Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." :)<br />
<br />
<br />
On to the pieces. I have to say that the colour palette is one of the most pleasing I’ve ever seen in a LEGO set – a riot of sand green, tan, dark orange and dark brown. I’d be willing to bet that you’ll not see more sand green pieces in any other official set apart from the Statue of Liberty – Yoda contains over 400 sand green pieces. I also think there’s probably more tan here than in any set – well over 500 tan pieces. I need to confess that as a relatively old-timer, I grew up in the days when all I had to work with were red, blue, white, yellow, black and clear pieces (with a bit of old grey thrown in), so the huge number of parts in unusual and in some cases quite rare colours really put a huge smile on my face. <br />

<br />
This set was obtained through the secondary market as it was first released in 2000 and is long out of production. Back then, it cost a mere US$20 for 158 pieces. Nonetheless, this is well-designed with a strong resemblance to the film version. Most of the bricks are tan and art is printed on the bricks rather than using decals.<br />
<br />
It comes with two battle droid mini-figures, although most collectors would have wished for more. Excellent playability with a turret that swivels (to some extent), cannons that move up and down as well as hatches that open to store the droids.<br />

Manual shows a couple of alternate builds, but no instructions for themPeow Yeonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13496611828893614098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1808522767209411864.post-28052308097335911872012-07-30T23:32:00.000+08:002012-07-30T23:33:42.105+08:00LEGO 4502 - X-Wing FighterThis is an old set from 2004 that I obtained through the secondary market while shopping on eBay. Although it is called the "X-Wing Fighter", this is really based on "The Empire Strikes Back" where Luke goes to the Dagobah system to search out Master Yoda and begin his Jedi training.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've already said quite a bit about the X-Wing's design when I reviewed <a href="http://ultimate-collector.blogspot.sg/2011/03/lego-6212-x-wing-fighter.html">LEGO 6212</a>, and the fighter in this set appears similar. What distinguishes this set from other X-Wing releases is the inclusion of Yoda's hut and the vines on the X-Wing. Yoda's hut folds in upon itself to form a nice, compact dwelling, but smoothly opens up to expand into a playset. There are 563 pieces to this set and includes three minifigures: Yoda, Luke in Dagobah fatigues and R2-D2. Unfortunately, there are no pictures of the build process as the set was already assembled and displayed for a few years. Enjoy the pictures.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The London 2012 Olympics is well underway. To celebrate,
LEGO released an exclusive special edition line of Team GB minifigures. These
are similar to the Minifigures blind packs released thus far, although there
are nine different figures in a complete set instead of 16 for the other Minifigures series. Each box contains
60 foil packs, which should contain at least 6 complete sets per box. Overall,
there some nice designs with unique pieces for each minifigure. Mix and match
for different combinations or for your own MOC. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The nine Team GB figures are:</div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Brawny
Boxer </b>Punching his way to the top, this lean machine in blue is
ready to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee for Team GB!</li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>The
Stealth Swimmer </b>Like a fish in the water, the Stealth Swimmer is
ready to torpedo through the water into pole position.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Relay
Runner </b>Sprinting to reach the winning line, could this give Team
GB a relay team victory?</li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Judo
Fighter </b>Taking down her opponent’s one at a time, this mistress
of martial arts knocks down anything in her way to grasp that gold medal.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Tactical
Tennis Player </b>First on the court in his gleaming whites, this
tennis ace will knock the white socks off of any competition.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Flexible
Gymnast </b>Balance and co-ordination is the name of the game for
this agile Olympic contender.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Wondrous
Weightlifter </b>Powerlifting his personal best, the crowd looks on
as this burley guy weighs up his chances of going for gold.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Horseback
rider </b>Riding her way to the last hurdle, this athlete won’t be
horsing around when it comes to winning!</li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Agile
Archer </b>Complete with bow in hand, let’s hope this little fella
will be on target on the day!</li>

<div class="MsoNormal">
This set was obtained with some spare cash on vacation.
Photographs were taken of the box in my hotel room before being discarded so
that the LEGO bags would fit in the luggage. The box was huge for a set
consisting only 389 pieces. It also had a rather high price-to-pieces ratio.
But that's part and parcel of collecting a massive licensed theme like Star
Wars. The T-6 Jedi Shuttle made several appearances in the Star Wars: The Clone
Wars animated series. </div>

The build process was rather short. I took a mere half hour
or so to assemble the ship. The shuttle measures 35 cm wide, 25 cm long
and 12 cm tall. There are some nice-looking pieces in white and red. The
outstanding bit of this set would be the two new Jedi Master mini-figures - Shaak
Ti and Saesee Tiin - in addition to the previously released Obiwan Kenobi and
Anakin Skywalker. </div>

The play value of the shuttle is evident in the flick-fire
missiles (although its role as an ambassadorial vessel means it doesn't
actually have weaponry), rotating wings and retractable landing gear. This was
promoted as a companion set to go with the <a href="http://ultimate-collector.blogspot.sg/2011/06/lego-7930-bounty-hunter-assault-gunship.html">LEGO

Now that I'm snowed in, I figured this might be as good a time as any.<br />
<br />
Overall, STGCC 2011 felt more intimate compared to the previous year, when ReedPop really went all out to draw in visitors in their first year organizing it. This year saw the convention reduced from 3 days to 2 and fewer guests. While this may make it seem less attractive an event, I felt the slower pace was better as I managed to take my time to look around the various exhibitor's booth and Artists' Alley, whereas I merely spent all three days waiting in line to meet the large line-up of guests in 2010. That's a welcome change. Artist's Alley was really an alley this time round instead of the collection of booths the previous year. As a VIP participant, I also found the Fast Passes extremely useful in beating the lines at the Walk of Fame sessions. This would have been most useful for David Lloyd in 2010, where I could have saved 3 hours and an earful from the Mrs. when I got home. The main stage has also been moved to a different section away from the main exhibition floor to improve crowd flow and minimize the noise levels. Excellent!
I think Reed is still trying to find the balance between the number of events taking place at any one time and also have enough to offer the fan of various tastes, be it comics, toys, manga, gamer or curious onlooker. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
May STGCC learn and advance year on year as the premiere geek event in Asia!
To close off, I just wanted to leave you with the stash I obtained at STGCC. Already missing it, although I'm not sure if I'd be able to attend the next one.<br />

This one's going to be short on text too, but the pictures should more than make up for it. Here's my experience trawling the convention hall on Day 2 of STGCC 2011.<br />
<br />
<img src=https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-vjxiXs2HtRA/TngJ0iVjnZI/AAAAAAAADQ0/9syDywZTVg0/s800/P1100781.JPG></img><br />
CB Cebulski signs my copy of Comic Book Tattoo featuring a story written by him. He was quick to point out the typo in his name to liaison and me. He also adds an autograph to my autograph book with a quote from Yoda.<br />
<br />
<img src=https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-w2Faof9Dsis/TngJ0qYRIPI/AAAAAAAADQw/oujqzJRYaD0/s800/P1100784.JPG></img><br />

Ray Toh was at his booth in Artist Alley. He was also at the Liquid City Vol.1 launch back in 2008 or so but somehow my copy had missed him as it was being passed around. So here's Ray adding another autograph to my copy of Liquid City. He also kindly obliged with a quick sketch of a pirate in my autograph book. <br />
<br />

Was first in line to get Harvey Tolibao to autograph and sketch in his sketchbook which I had picked up the day before. <br />
<br />

Here's the original art to the STGCC-exclusive cover of Captain America #1 by Harvey Tolibao, which was being auctioned.<br />

Benjamin Ang is the first Singaporean artist to be signed by Marvel. He was talent spotted by CB Cebulski at STGCC 2010.<br />

Tita Larasati is an Indonesian comic artist. I first encountered her work in 24 Hour Comic Book Day 2006. Wished I knew and had brought that book along for her autograph. Here, she shows off the original art for that story - 24 pages in 24 hours. What an achievement!<br />

The Play Imaginative booth hosted Devilrobots and other designer toys. They had a Mickey figure with various customs by artists and celebrities. Quite reasonably priced too.<br />

So much so that I plonked $40 for my admission tickets immediately. Here's an account of STGCC Day photojournalistic style. <br />
<br />

The ticketing counter has been moved to the 3rd floor, from the ground floor that was used in 2010. Various lines have been designated with the Hot Toys line being the longest, with some having queued from the day before hoping to snare one of those STGCC exclusive releases. <br />
<br />
<img src=https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1pI9H7kh5uM/TlkK8sxbFdI/AAAAAAAAC08/H3Cv7nXeBSU/s800/P1100164e.JPG></img><br />
Picked up my ticket with no major issue. First time I've ever been a VIP at anything<br />
<br />

First thing that caught my attention was the activity at the Marvel booth where Harvey Tolibao was signing. This is his second consecutive appearance at STGCC. Didn't realise the queue was snaking all the way around the booth. Oh well, time to join the line.<br />
<br />

Finally, reached Harvey Tolibao who signed my copy of the STGCC exclusive variant cover to Captain America #1. Note the Merlion on the cover.<br />
<br />

Caught a glimpse of the wall at the Action City Hot Toys booth... looks crowded with lots of displays. Made a note to check out the displays later.<br />

No Lego Star Wars on display this year but a massive Clone Wars army and vehicles were on display. As you can probably tell, I spent quite a bit of time ogling the display.<br />
<br />

It has made appearances in the Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith as well as the Clone Wars animated series. <br />
<br />
This set is the second of two ARC-170s that have been released thus far by Lego. As with subsequent releases, it improves on the original release in design and build. The fighter measures 17 cm in length and has a massive wingspan of approximately 19 cm. Weaponry consists of massive wingtip laser cannons, a twin cannon rear turret as well as two proton torpedoes that are flicked fired by pushing a rod from the rear. <br />
<br />
There are several moving parts with all three canopies that could be raised to allow access to the cockpits and the astromech droid hatch. By turning a gear knob at the back, the S-foils can be raised in attack formation. When completed, this starfighter cuts a mean silhouette and is one of the most attractive starfighters in the Star Wars universe as it is clearly a precursor for the sleek X-Wing fighter. <br />
<br />
Best part of any Lego set are the minifigures that are included...four in this set: Jedi Master Kit Fisto, Captain Jag, Episode III clone pilot and a R4-P44 astromech droid. <br />

To celebrate, I thought I'd run a lucky draw to give away one of my copies of Invincible Iron Man (free edition) signed by both writer Matt Fraction and artist Salvador Larocca from STGCC 2010. <br />

P.S. Glory Glory Man Utd... who came from two goals down to beat the noisy neighbours 3-2 to win the Community Shield for a record 15th time! That's why we're champions! Here's to another trophy-filled season.<br />

<br />
This came in a bucket or tub of bricks, hence the name, rather than the usual cardboard boxes. This is clearly targeted at kids as the builds are simplistic and the design is mostly rudimentary, to the point of being unrecognisable and poor likenesses of the movie counterparts. That really is a pity as it was released in 2000 after Lego had obtained the Star Wars licence and was meant to portray one of the most exciting sequences in all of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace -- the pod race in Mos Espa. A total of 293 pieces are included in this set, from which one can build 4 podracers, 3 minifigures (although it really should be more) and a starting / finishing line gantry. Overall, this is a poor set. If you're not a completist, save your money for the newer, improved Lego podracers found in "7131 - Anakin's podracer", "7171 - Mos Espa podrace" or "7962 - Anakin & Sebulba's podracers"...all of which shall be reviewed here on <a href="http://ultimate-collector.blogspot.com">Peow's Passions</a>. <br />

<br />
This was one of two sets that arrived in the email on my birthday early last month...a present for myself. The set is loose and made up of bricks compiled by German Lego retailer, bricksy (on eBay). Nonetheless, all 244 pieces are included with an original manual from the set. <br />
<br />
This was released back in 1999 to coincide with the release of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. As with most early Lego Star Wars sets, the design is rather rudimentary and blockish, compared to subsequent releases of the same craft. The rear opens to reveal a speeder (which is fragile and poorly designed) and the Sith Infiltrator also stores three probe droids. Nonetheless, the Darth Maul mini-figure included looks menacing enough with the face tattoos, cloak and double-bladed lightsaber.<br />

Note the corner slope bricks were off a different colour. bricky was kind enough to send replacements of the correct colour. No questions asked. <br />

These were interactive fiction where the reader gets to decide how the protagonist would act at various points of the story, thereby playing a role in directing the narrative. <br />
<br />
The Diceman series is an early, interesting combination of two of my favourite things - gamebooks and graphic novels, introduced in 1986 as a spin-off of UK's popular (and non-interactive) 2000AD weekly comic magazine. Billed as a "role-playing comic," Diceman lasted five issues before being discontinued in 1986. A compilation of some Slaine game-comics from this series was compiled into "You are the Hero: You are Slaine". <br />
<br />
As the name implies, games in Diceman all require you to use dice (typically 2 six-sided ones) to play most games in the book. Each issue includes two to three different games, each starring heroes from the 2000AD magazine, including Judge Dredd, Torquemada, Slaine, Rogue Trooper, ABC Warriors, and Nemesis the Warlock. Given the "mature" nature of 2000AD stories in general (e.g. graphic depiction of violence and some sexual overtones), the games are challenging and interesting. A nice feature is that each game has different types of gameplay depending on the main character and the plot. The artwork is consistently very good throughout, featuring UK legends such as Hunt Emerson and Bryan Talbot. The stories are action-packed and all, save one, were penned and designed by the 2000AD stalwart Pat Mills. If you enjoy gamebooks or even just comic books in general, check these out.<br />

It has seen better days with heavy damage from high falls and crashes against the bedroom wall. <br />
<br />
Transformers Lambor or better known in the USA as Sideswipe was one of the Diaclone Car Robot toys that was repackaged and sold as the Generation One Transformers by Hasbro (and later Takara). Lambor is a red Lamborghini Countach LP500S and belongs to the Cybertron (Autobot) faction. As this was pre-Transformers, it does not have the Autobot logo on its chest. <br />
<br />
Lambor does come with a white flare gun (missing), 3x white missiles (missing) and a black and chrome shoulder missile launcher. The feet or rear part of the car is made of die-cast metal and the rest is plastic. It also includes a tiny Diaclone figure with magnetic shoes as a driver. I believe this was first released by Takara in 1983 or so, when I was barely starting primary/elementary school. Toys were certainly built to last back in those days. <br />

I managed to salvage this childhood toy from my mum's place as I was digging around the storage boxes. I don't remember how long I've had this but this was one of my favourite figures when I was in primary school back in the 1980s. <br />
<br />
I have vague memories of rushing back after school to watch the Macross cartoon that was running in the evenings. The SDF-1 (Super Dimensional Fortress) featured prominently in that anime series as the flagship craft of the human forces against the Zentraedi.<br />
<br />
This is now a loose piece with no box nor paperwork and I had to do some research on the Internet to gather some information about it. Apparently, it was produced by a company called Takatoku which also produced other Macross toys. <br />
<br />
The SDF-1 has several points of articulation, is made entirely of plastic and has a height of approximately 14 cm. The clincher for this is that it actually transforms from robot mode to cruiser mode. The detail on the Daedalus and Prometheus arms is in the form of foil stickers.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, one of the connectors to join the reflex cannon parts has broken off, and I taped it to the back for the purpose of this photoshoot.<br />

There are 389 pieces in this set and the gunship measures 30cm wide, 25 cm long and 15cm tall. <br />
<br />
It has rotatable twin engines for flying and landing modes, a cockpit that opens and a prison cell. The best thing about this set are the four mini-figures included -- Sugi, Aurra Sing, Embo and an IG-86 assassin droid. <br />
<br />
I enjoyed building this and there is great play quality with this set given the number of figures and the bits of the gunship that move and open. <br />

They were really generous with the spare bits in this setPeow Yeonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13496611828893614098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1808522767209411864.post-20635736686538890802011-06-05T21:37:00.001+08:002011-06-05T21:57:02.296+08:00Lego 7915 - V-Wing FighterThe V-wing fighter was one of those blink-and-you'll-miss-it space crafts that made a brief appearance in Star Wars Ep. III: Revenge of the Sith. It was part of the Imperial fleet after the fall of the Galactic Empire. It has a working cockpit and rotating wings to toggle between flying and landing modes. A nice colour design of black and silver enhances its menacing look. To top it off, it comes with two mini-figures - a new-look Imperial pilot and a silver astromech droid (R2-Q2). The V-wing fighter measures 12cm wide and 22cm long. However, at 139 pieces and almost similar price point to the <a href="http://ultimate-collector.blogspot.com/2011/06/lego-7929-battle-of-naboo.html">Lego 7929 - The Battle of Naboo</a> set, this is relatively pricey.<br />

This was part of the early 2011 line-up of Lego Star Wars releases and I had purchased most of this lot in the Netherlands when I was on vacation. It worked out to be slightly cheaper than Singapore local retail prices. <br />
<br />
It consists of a Trade Federation troop carrier containing ten battle droids (two pilots and eight battle droids) and two Gungans. If it was meant to depict the Battle of Naboo, then the Gungans are way outnumbered! The Federation troop carrier measures 25cm long, 7cm wide and 10cm tall, with two racks of battle droids. Two Gungan mini-figures are included with this set - the much-maligned Jar Jar Binks and a Gungan warrior with a great looking energy shield. The head sculpts are duo-toned, unlike the monochrome head sculpts from the old Gungan mini-figures. <br />

That takes the Red Devils to the top of the perch, eclipsing Liverpool's long-standing record of 18 titles. When I became a fan back in 1985, I did not expect to see this day so soon as the Red Devils only had seven titles. Since then, they've gone on to win 12 of the last 19 titles. To commemorate this momentous occasion, I spent a little cash customizing this Nike home jersey from the 2010/11 season. Glory Glory Man United! :)<br />

FCBD 2011 books. I am currently missing 4 books despite ordering all of them. I'm hoping to score Atomic Robo and Friends; Darkwing Duck/Chip & Dale: Rescue Rangers; Geronimo Stilton/Smurfs as well as Locke & Key via alternative channels.<br />

Last year, we had the War Machine HeroClix to tie-in with the Iron Man 2 movie. For 2011, the FCBD HeroClix features Green Lantern, yet another movie tie-in.<br />

As with the first Saturday of May for the past ten years or so, it was also Free Comic Book Day. <br />
<br />
This year marks the biggest FCBD celebrations ever experienced in Singapore - with three participating outlets - Kinokuniya, G&B Comics as well as Harris' Planerds which also had its official opening this day.<br />
<br />
The first thing I did after exercising my citizenry duties was to head down to Kinokuniya where they were giving away FCBD comics for the first time. Members were entitled to a grab bag containing two titles as well as a Green Lantern HeroClix figure. At the same time, they were having a 20% off sale for comics and graphic novels.<br />
<br />

The local chapter of the 501st Legion would make their appearance at the store later in the evening. Unfortunately, I had to give this a miss.<br />
<br />

<br />
Next stop was G&B Comics at Rochor Centre (in their second official participation at FCBD). A long line had already formed by the time I arrived at 5 minutes before the store opening. Not only were there free comics for grabs, helpers were dressed in superhero costumes and the guest appearance by Gary Erskine (The Filth, Dan Dare) tops off the festivities.<br />

<br />
After picking up the freebie comics and getting some of my comics signed by Gary Erskine, it was time to head back to Orchard Road where Popular Bookstore opened its Planerds store officially. Unlike previous incarnations, this outlet caters to all tastes geeky and fanboyish. Certainly this makes a great addition to the local comic specialty market. Time will tell if it can compete with other retailers for the fanboy dollar. Nonetheless, it makes a great image change from selling assessment books and scaring kids away from ever picking up a book. Just to make it extra special, local comics creators were on hand for autographs and sketches.<br />

This is the fourth set of 16 and is pretty much similar to previous releases (<a href="http://ultimate-collector.blogspot.com/2010/07/lego-8683-minifigures-series-1.html">Series 1</a>, <a href="http://ultimate-collector.blogspot.com/2010/09/lego-8684-minifigures-series-2.html">Series 2</a>, <a href="http://ultimate-collector.blogspot.com/2011/04/lego-8803-minifigures-series-3.html">Series 3</a>). 60 packs in a box, 16 figures in a set. Just like Series 3, each box should suffice for at least 2 complete sets with the mad scientist being the shortpacked figure in this set. Just like <a href="http://ultimate-collector.blogspot.com/2011/04/lego-8803-minifigures-series-3.html">Series 3</a>, there are no spare pieces within the packets.<br />
<br />
The box and packets have an orange colourway to distinguish it from the previous series. There are also little bubbles on the lower edge which reveals the figure within. Otherwise, you could try your ability to feel the contents through the unopened packs. I took the easy way out and merely took a trip to Toy Station (my local Lego supplier) who compiled a complete set of 16 figures for me. <br />

16 minifigures in my display boxPeow Yeonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13496611828893614098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1808522767209411864.post-40139766012594374362011-04-22T18:36:00.001+08:002011-04-22T19:41:56.089+08:00Sports Illustrated (SI) Swimsuit IssueThis has to be the most <i>hum sub</i> (translation: lecherous) post ever in this blog. I was alerted by my friend Dave to the fact that the 2011 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit features our sunny island of Singapore. All the more to add this latest issue to my collection.<br />
<br />
I began subscribing to Sports Illustrated back in 1992, in an effort to follow my sports idol, Michael Jordan, on his march to championship rings and scoring records. I was surprised to find that come February-March the next year, there was a spanky swimsuit issue with hardly any of the incisive sports writing or profound game insights the magazine was known for. Apparently, it's a long tradition in the magazine history to have a special issue each year to keep the sports fan occupied through the slow sports news winter months. It was always followed by a regular issue of the magazine where every letter published would be condemning the swimsuit issue for objectifying women and reducing them to sex objects. Regardless, there's a spanking new swimsuit issue every year. Oh, I think I paid $300+ dollars each year for a swimsuit issue and got 52 issues of SI free. What a deal!<br />
<br />
Eventually I discontinued my subscription to SI but continued collecting SI Swimsuit issues each year. Now I have a complete run from 1993 to 2011 (less 2 issues). Throughout the years, I was aided in amassing this collection by Comics Mart who imported this magazine for a period, various bookstores as well as eBay. I believe it was Meng himself who exclaimed that it's the only issue of SI that really sells in the store. <br />
<br />
P.S. Anyone who is willing to spare a copy of the 1995 or 2003 issue which I'm currently missing, please get in touch with me. <br />

Instead, this has been replaced by some tiny bumps or bubbles on the lower edge of the foil pack. These are really difficult to make out and the placement varies from shipments and also depends on whether the sets were meant for US or Europe. Fortunately, the good old Lego supplier, Toy Station, came through for me, by preparing a set of 16 to be made available. They had relied upon the bumps and also felt the contents of the packets in order to make out what it contained. No mistakes made this time round, so do pay them a visit if you just want a complete set for yourself like me. <br />
<br />
There are some similarities between this and the first two series - 60 packs per box, S$3.90/pack and 16 different figures in each set. Each minifigure comes with its own unique pieces and accessories offering a multitude of combination options. However, starting with series 3, Lego seems to have stopped including the spare pieces for the tiny bits which usually came with a few of the minifigures. Unlike Series 1 and 2 where you were assured of completing 3 sets with one box, there are only 2 complete sets within each box of 60 packets for Series 3. The shortpacked figure is the fisherman. Nonetheless, it is good to see more female minifigures being released. <br />
