And again, more 'droids

These new fellers are brand new, and frankly they creep me out.

The LEGO construction seems to follow a couple of strands: copying existing models with increasing fidelity and "the original works". The latter we're seeing more of. They may have been inspired by some of the baddies in the now-defunct Lego Universe.

... And yet more 'Droids

Some more strange 'Droids: the flow has only slowed, not stopped.

This one was an ad-hoc creation today: pound for pound, it has quite a high outlandishness rating.

This poor fellow needed quite a lot of help standing up...
And another victim of the rampant Gun inflation; I fear a similar fate as the Sabre toothed tiger awaits.
Though in the event of enemies needing shooting and spearing with a little help this fellow is your man.
I  just can't do this!

'Droids, 'Droids, 'Droids

The 'Droids seemed to be most apt for creating some mini-figurine "Island of Dr. Moreau" - those parts do go together in quite a few different ways...
Here are a few.

The battle 'Droids quite often develop Shiva-like attributes...

I think this is essentially a very complicated light sabre.
Health and safety violations abound, such needing to hold them by the blade.

This guy is either getting awesome 'phone reception,
or can hear a pin drop from orbit.

Not to be out-done, this was the nadir of the arms race.

Relatively tame

Tuns out this idea didn't have legs.

An attempt at even greater fidelity to the films.

You can do just about anything for the heads of these things.


For a while, there was a strong emphasis on greater size for everything,
leading some very serious limb / gun inflation.
