please tell me that is not a sticker....
*who am I kidding
which part are you talking about? The Palantir? a sticker on a sphere? hmm...
By the way, Wizard Battle looks awesome, must get that one!!!
Council of Elrond looks decent but disappointingly small
It would have been a must have if only it was HUGE and featured more actual Council members

it's a minifig head!
I don't see it...

I can't for the life of me figure that piece out.
Edit...I don't see any indication of it having a stud on top, Ironmask. I'm not sure it is a minifig head.

Cylinder brick inside a globe?

That's what I was leaning toward. Kind of like the printed Spongebob Plankton "figure"....but I still don't see the nub on top.

it's a round brick 1x1 with a sticker
the eye appears to be too large for that...

Plus it's got what appears to be a round plate attached.
I don't know what this is but those figures are amazing.

That Republic Gunship, ungh, so hard.....
And Leia on the chain leash LOL
It's some odd abomination created for the Yoda Chronicles LEGO special coming soon.

just checked again, it can be!
Aha. Good call. I was thinking it was more like Spongebob Sandy's helmet but it appears not.

Daaaaamn, council of elrond is gonna be a tempting candidate to double up on. Scenery is so pretty. Gonna gift copies of both those sets to my mom. She only really likes collecting minifigs, but those things are such good minifig displayers that she'll love them.
Plus the UCS X-wing, the Ewok Village and the 3 upcoming planet sets.
Next year and 2015 are going to be interesting for LEGO SW with Clone Wars essentially gone, and the new movies about to start spinning up.
Interesting as in:
"reissue 'old favorites' interesting" (UCS Millenium Falcon!! You'd probably hate that :/...),
or interesting as in: "it'll be interesting to see whether TLG come up with something "fresh", or whether they release their 'previously expected roadmap of Episode 3 sets in conjunction with the last released Star Wars movie' (which would have been Episode 3 in November iirc; which might have warranted a January release of "new" 2014 sets, of which some might have been Ep3/OT/TOR related)?
If I had to bet, I would imagine a "wave" in January or February with some Ep3/OT/TOR mix, and then
a few refreshes in summer 2014 with a few rereleases of some fan favorites to tide over fans until 2015...
Yeah, is that really going to be a $200 Ewok set? Crazy.
It's exciting!

It's most likely a trans orange head piece or 1x1 round brick with print inside of the crystal ball.

I'm not a fan of SW but even I think that thing looks slick.

Wonder if thats the last Clone Wars series based set we will be seeing from LEGO
I'm waiting on the refresh of the AT-AT. Missed out on the last one when I came back to Lego. It's due for one along with the Slave I.
That and the HH-287 Starhopper (set 75024) may be the last of the Clone Wars sets.
New movie-based head sculpt that is better than the CW one.
Yeah, I saw someone in here compare them a little while back. Very cool.
Also, that gunship does look kind of rad.

Gunship and walker tank look awesome.
And Chuck, any new news of what sales might be on May 4th?

My wallet is weeping at all those Star Wars set. That Republic Gunship and AT-TE are just so awesome looking. A bit disappointed at Jabba's Sail Bark especially the front section with all that slope pieces. Though I love Slave Leia and Bar-2D2 . Max Rebo looks too small. I wish instead of Hail-Fire Droid, we get Episode 2 version of Slave I, also update version of Obi-Wan Jedi Starfighter would be nice. Yoda and Dooku's duel looks nice now I wish I have his Solar Sailor.
I am also curious what they are planning for 2014 now that Episode 3 3D is out and there is no more Clone Wars along with cancel of all Lucas Arts game. (I wonder if they have any 1313 items plan for in the pipe line for tie-in).
In any case, I am going to need to get 2nd job to feed this addiction.

If you are doing modular, I say go chronological. Grand Emporium next, then Pet Shop.
You don't want to blow your wad so quickly.
Okay, I will take your advice and do the Emporium next.
Also starting to feel old..... Been in denial for the last 6 months, but building the Fire Brigade is re enforcing that bi-focals will soon be a part of my life

Well my LEGO "bundle" that I ordered from Wal-Mart came in this morning. I can't believe they still have bunch of these Landspeeder. The set is actually pretty good for getting Mini-figures. You get 5 and a 1/4 Mini-figures in one box. Beside the hippy hairdo Luke, they are all great looking. I haven't built the Speeder yet, it looks OK, I rather prefer the old pink one that came with Mos Eisley set.
The thing is I got email from Wal-Mart last night that they won't be able to fulfill the bundle because they don't have any of those bundle in stock (oh Wal-Mart) and that I can keep all the Luke's Speeder I got (x4) and they will refund all my purchase price along with $10.00 gift card for my hassle. They have since remove all the bundles from their on-line site and mark the rest as out of stock. I still kick myself for not getting the Ghost Train bundle for $72.00 that come with the Mummy and the Werewolf as part of the bundle.
