Ask LEGO Posted by Jeremy on May 2, 2005 at 03:13 PM CST:
LEGO have awarded Rebelscum readers the unique opportunity to ask the LEGO Star Wars Brand Manager their most burning questions. If there is anything you've ever wanted to put to LEGO please post your questions in our LEGO forum.
We here at Rebelscum are all about Star Wars collecting. From action figures to posters, to tea pots and so on, there is a seemingly limitless supply of collectibles to be had. This year Celebration III played host to a unique event that catered to a different type of Star Wars collector – one where every collection is comprised of unique and one-of-a-kind pieces! Enter the Star Wars Tattoo Track!
Our Probe Droid is on the prowl; this time we're asking fans to wiegh in on Hasbro's new Attacktix line. Are you collecting Attacktix, are you playing Attacktix, or are you passing on the line all together? Look for the Probe Droid ballot now and cast your vote today!
Today's Photo Archives update completes the initial launch of the action figures from Revenge of the Sith. Although originally carded with a blue lightsaber, Palpatine has since been corrected and packed with his red lightsaber. Whatever the color, he s just as deadly with his dueling skills.
For the next several weeks we'll be uploading new C3 movies to give those who couldn't attend a taste of what it was The Big Event was like (and those who could attend a nice reminder of what a blast they had).
