How'd it go with Philip?

Well, let's just say we have some pix forthcoming of Philip hanging out with some JD'ers, including the likes of Morgbug, jjks, JediMAC, and yes - Mr. Berry himself.  I would say that Philip wasn't overly thrilled after our pix with him to learn who we really were... 

Please tell me that someone gave him a can of spam and took a picture of that!

Are any of the other Pepsi-sponsored fast food chains going to have SW promotions this summer?  I remember Taco Hell having one for Episode I.

I have Lego Star Wars, Battlefront and Republic Commando on my Laptop which I play regularly, but my Laptop is at HP for a problem with the LCD screen.

I've been playing Unreal Tournament 2004 on my dektop a little though.

Great work yet again Chewie.  Not only are the photos great, the story is very solid!  Can't wait to read the next installment.

Wow!  The effects look awesome, especially for a first attempt!

I think LJ needs to watch Spaceballs again.  It took me a second to figure out WTF that guy was supposed to be!

Now, I once made a Darth Vader costume, I even improvised a Darth Maul costume out of a bald wig, some black and red make-up and my bathrobe and I have a Jedi costume.  The ONLY time I've worn any of them, it was October 31st!

I managed to finally find one of these today and figured I'd share a few thoughts on the figure/vehicle.

Driver:  This has to be one of the most craptacular figures I have ever seen.  The figure has 5 points of articulation, Head, Shoulders waist and right elbow....that's it.  So, basically, the figure can only sit on the AT-RT.  I've heard rumors that the paint on this figure is hit or miss from some earlier reports from people who found it on 2 April, but the ones I saw at Target today were just fine IMO.

Vehicle: For a small vehicle, it's pretty cool.  Not a whole lot of detail in the sculpt of the parts, and not much paint, but it has it where it counts.  There's a small painted display between the "handle bars" which looks pretty neat.  There's also a pivoting Chin Gun and a walking feature which requires two AA batteries.  The walking feature is what makes this vehicle worht having IMO.  It works great on tile/wood floors or couter/desk tops, and I evenhad it walking on the carpet in my place, albiet not as well as the non-carpeted floor.  Really freaked out my cat too!   

Overall, I'd give this figure/vehicle a 3 out of 5.  There's a lot of playability with the vehicle, but the one-dimensionality of the figure brings it down.  If they had made the legs articulated so the figure could be on it's own away from the vehicle, this thing would be great!
