The Lego Death Star

There are few of us (in my generation at least) who don't remember their first introduction to the Star Wars movies. The brilliance of the special effects and the continuation of the story as a 3 part trilogy, conspired to make Star Wars more than just another movie. It was part of an era. The popularity of the Star Wars franchise has been continued successfully in recent years with the prequel movies, Star Wars I, II, and III. In the merchandising department, Lego has also kept Star Wars at the forefront of toy and game development, in a wide variety of formats, including the Lego Death Star 10188 model which was introduced in 2008.

There is more than enough in this Lego set to keep you occupied for hours on end as you construct this amazing project, a task not to be undertaken lightly, as it contains well over three thousand Lego pieces. Even the instruction manual is exceptionally large, at over two hundred and fifty pages. As it has been designed to be a playable piece, the Lego Death Star is relatively sturdy and can be moved reasonably well once construction is complete. However, there will always be a few, small, fiddly bits that may fall off.

The four level Death Star contains a combination of the scenes featured in two different Star Wars movies. The half constructed Death Star in Stars Wars IV- A New Hope and the completed Death Star from Star Wars VI - Return of the Jedi. The model features the iconic scenes from the movies such as the Death Star Control room, the Detention block, the Hangar bay and, of course, the Emperors' Throne room for the blockbuster finale. The completed project is a large sphere that does not have the outer shell, but rather leaves each internal location easily available. The set is designed in detail and there are special touches to make the Death Star more fun, such as the rotating guns and the spinning chairs.

A great advantage of this model is that it is not just visual project that sits on a shelf once it is finished. This Lego 10188 Model is constructed to be an item of play, and is approximately 16" high and wide when it is completed. The set includes 24 figures allowing you to re-enact some of the most memorable scenes from the movies.

Some of the figures in the Lego Death Star 10188 are exclusive collector items in their own right, in particular the new versions of Han Solo and Luke Skywalker dressed in Storm Trooper gear, and both the interrogation and death star droids which have never featured in any of the previous sets. The Dianoga trash creature is also made available for the first time so you can play the scene in the trash compactor where Luke, Han and Chewbacca help Princess Leia escape from the detention center in the original Star Wars IV.

Star Wars LEGO New Releases - August 2010 Preview

In the last month, at Annual Toy Fairs around the world, LEGO have unveiled the next wave of releases in their popular Star Wars line. Due for release in August 2010 the LEGO sets are a mix of old and new with brand new sets and re-releases from the Original trilogy, the Prequel Trilogy and the Clone Wars.

One of the main draws of any new Star Wars set is the new minifigures and this wave doesn't disappoint. Along with new sculpts of Boba Fett (with more authentic blue jumpsuit coloring), Han Solo in Carbonite and General Grievous there are previously unreleased minifigures of Aalya Secura, Empire Strikes Back bounty hunter Bossk and Clone Wars villain Cad Bane.

The sets themselves are also a mixture of new models and old. As usual the focus is on vehicles but the addition of a play set will also appeal to fans.

With 297 pieces, model 8089, The Hoth Wampa Set combines the new figure of the powerful Wampa with a redesign of the snowspeeder. This is the third interpretation of the snowspeeder, it has been previously released twice in standalone sets and once in another Hoth play set. The Hoth Wampa set also comes with Luke Skywalker in Hoth gear (ready to be suspended in the Wampa's meat freezer) and a snowspeeder pilot and will retail for $39.99.

The re-release of Boba Fett's Slave 1 includes the third version of Slave 1 to be released as well as the figures of Boba Fett, Bossk and Han Solo. The latter includes a Carbonite mould that can be attached to the Han Solo figure and carried by two other figures. The redesign of Slave One looks to be a huge improvement over previous versions. Boba Fett's Slave 1 has been released twice before and the latest version, model 8097, is more screen-accurate in both colors and design. It will retail for $79.99.

Model 8096 is Emperor Palpatine's Shuttle as seen in Episode Three, where it was used to rescue a scarred and burned Anakin Skywalker after his battle with Obi Wan Kenobi. The Shuttle is a first time release from LEGO and includes figures of The Emperor, Anakin in transition to cyborg Darth Vader, a shuttle pilot and a medical droid. The vehicle will have 592 pieces and will retail for $59.99.

Model 8095 is another re-release, General Grievous Starfighter. With 454 pieces it comes with 3 figures a beautifully designed General Grievous, a medical droid and Bant Eerin. A Mon Calamari, Bant Eerin is Kit Fisto's padawan and met his demise in the Clone Wars Season one episode The Lair Of General Grievous. As mentioned previously the General Grievous minifig is a huge improvement on previous Episode 3 sets and this figure will no doubt be highly sought after on the sets release. The General Grievous Starfighter will retail for $49.99.

Set 8093 is Plo Koon's Starfighter a debut model in LEGO. Plo Kloon was a renowned pilot and famously met his demise in Episode Three after being shot down by fellow clone pilots after Order 66. The starfighter set is 175 pieces and includes the figures of Plo Kloon and his astromech droid. The fighter itself is a beautiful blue and white design reminiscent of the Jedi Starfighters from Episode two. Set 8093 will retail for $24.99

The last set for this late 2010 wave of Star Wars LEGO sets is the re-release of the Clone Turbo Tank. Released around the time of Episode Three, the original set came with Mace Windu and clone troopers but this newest release gives us a Clone wars TV series theme. Figures include two new designs-Clone wars villain Cad Bane and Jedi Master Aalya Secura. Other figures in this set include Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, and two clone troopers. The Clone Wars Turbo Tank will have 1141 pieces, making it the largest set of this wave and indeed of the years so far. The Turbo Tank also comes with a clone walker that can deploy from the tank and the set will retail for $119.

August cannot come too soon for fans of the highly popular Star Wars LEGO licence and although the release dates give plenty of time to ponder and over-anticipate the details of each set it also allows ample time to save!

Choosing the Right Microwave Oven

Microwave ovens are easily one of the biggest appliances in the lives of many. People both young and old around the world use microwaves to reheat food, or to simply cook food quickly. Microwaving is one of the most popular ways to cook food, which would explain why nearly everyone has one. There are multiple different ways to choose a microwave, and there are multiple types of microwaves to choose from.

Types of Microwaves

There are multiple types of microwaves that you can choose from. These different microwaves are created in different ways; some of them are simply to change the aesthetic view of the microwave, whereas others aim to change how the microwave ovens work. These changes help the microwave ovens to cater to the specific cooking needs of the person who is buying it.

One of the biggest changes for microwave ovens was the advent of the over-the-range microwave. Over the range microwaves manage to fit the small home appliances in with the rest of the regular appliances. Instead of taking up counter space, the above the range microwave gives ample space for other counter uses.

One of the other major changes to the small appliances is the strength of the microwave. While certain microwaves will have different strengths of their own, some microwaves will simply have higher strengths than others. This turns some microwaves into major appliances, as some microwaves can heat things in a faster and more efficient way.

What to Look For in Microwave Ovens

If you are looking to purchase a microwave oven, there are certain things that you need to take into account. While the look is a big portion of the microwave (to make sure it fits in), this is simply one of the many important facets of the appliance. If you want to make sure that you have the best microwave oven for you, there are a few things that you should consider and look for.

The first thing that you need to look for is the strength of the microwave. There will be microwaves that are too powerful for your needs, and there will also be microwaves that are simply too weak for your cooking needs. Those who work at a place that sells microwaves will be the best to ask about the strength that you need.

Once you know which strength, you need to understand what features that you need in your microwave. While some people just want simple features, others may want a specific rotating platform, or specific number controls. If you know the extras that a microwave can come with, you will know exactly what you want, and can figure out which microwaves have those extras.

After you have figured all of this information out, you simply need to look at the prices to decide exactly what you can afford, and what fits in your budget. For many, this is what will ultimately decide their microwave purchase decision.

The Look of Microwave Ovens

The last and final step to microwave ovens, which often is decided before the microwave is chosen, is the look of the microwave. Some people will want a black microwave, while others will want white, and others will want stainless steel. All of these colors make for interesting microwave ovens that fit in with the other appliances, such as the dishwasher and the oven.

How to Find Microwave Ovens

If you are looking for microwave ovens, you should really look in two different places. The stores will allow you to see the microwave, understand how it looks, and help you to figure out exactly what you want. Looking for the same microwave online will allow you to compare prices for the same microwave ovens. Searching in different venues will help you find the exact microwave you want for the lowest possible price.
