Kotaku Previews LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars
Earlier today, Kotaku published a preview of the upcoming video game, LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars. It seems that with every LEGO game that Traveler’s Tales develops, they improve some aspect of the game engine and this game is no exception. An excerpt:
To deliver the experience of having multiple story lines in the game, Traveller’s Tales created levels that have you hot-swapping between storylines. While you’re playing one storyline, controlling a set of characters, you can see the other storyline preparing to unfold in a bubble-shaped window in the top right corner of your screen.
…
Shell said that during these moments, the game’s AI will take over for the windowed gameplay, making sure not to die, but also not completing the task at hand. This allows players to go through both story lines simultaneously, Shell said.

LULS Darth Vader Returns
Sort of.
Spotted at his local Target, Jared Burks (Fine Clonier) of Fineclonier.com fame spotted this Light Up Lightsaber Maxifigure of Darth Vader. Not only does it light up, it moves! Apparently, there was no sound as is customary with LEGO display cases, and if there was it wasn’t very loud, at least with this unit. Jared also adds, “Helmet looked a bit cheap like a blow mold instead of solid plastic, but who cares”. Who cares indeed.

Brickdoctor’s UCS V-wing
I couldn’t wait for Brickdoctor to post this himself in our MOC Showcase forum, so I decided to jump the gun a bit and show you all his UCS Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-wing Interceptor. His Venator-class Star Destroyer is nothing to sneeze at either. When I saw the thumbnail in the flickr pool I had to click to make sure it was indeed made out of LEGO.

[UK] Minifigures Series 2 now available at WH Smiths
Minfigures Series 2 is now available at WH Smiths stores, nationwide, subject to stock. They’re priced at £1.99 each and are usually on display at the payment counter. Ask nicely and they should allow you to search through the box using your chosen identification method (barcodes printout, iphone/android phone application, feeling the pack, using the force or just plain pot luck).
On the subject of the Series 1 sets, it appears that Asda stores are still getting stock of these or at least my local large store is. Might be worth checking out the toy aisle if you’re in one.
