For purist Star Wars Fans the Clone Wars animated movie and TV series is too much of a deviation from the original feel of Star Wars to be considered part of the universe. Others who enjoy a good story with appealing characters, and are not so fixated on the canon, can appreciate the entertainment that The Clone Wars offers.

Lego has been making sets based on the series for a couple of years now as part of their 2010 wave have released set 8128, Cad Ban's Speeder. Can Bane, for those not in the loop, is the villain of late Season one and Season two. He is prominent in the last two episodes of Season one, entitled Hostage Crisis where he captured the Senate Building on Coruscant, ostensibly to free the crime lord Ziro The Hutt.

This set is also featured in Hostage Crisis and comes with five figures; an Assassin Droid, Cad Bane, bad-guy Shahan Alama, a generic Senate Commando and the Senate Commando Captain, Jayfon who has a pivotal role in the episode. The two Senate Commando's were previously only available with the large Republic cruiser set so are a welcome addition here. At the time of writing Cad Bane is only available in one other set so this is also a cheaper alternative to get this significant villain.

The Speeder itself is very nice, apart from the unfortunate presence of stickers. It is screen accurate with a number of seating areas in the middle and a cargo bay at the rear. It's very "swooshable" and kids will have a great time transporting their minifigs from one destination to the other. It's about 10 inches (25.4cm) long which is a good size, large enough to play with or display easily and uses a variety of clever techniques in the building.

With a price of $49.99 pieces it fits with Lego' s current tendency to overprice these Star Wars sets but with a number of rare figures and a pretty sweet ride, it may be a bit of a sleeper hit.

Kabar Vintage

Several people may assume that just because their cars are old, they automatically qualify to be characterized as vintage. While old age is indeed a significant characteristic, it is important to note that this is not the only determinant since old cars can also fall under the category of classic or antique. It is for this reason that most people may wonder how they can determine whether their cars can be termed as vintage or not? One can confidently consider his/her car vintage if it was built between the start of 1919 and the end of 1930, commonly referred to as the vintage period by most specialists in the automotive world. Most vintage cars are said to have been manufactured after...

They say that a society or civilization moves forward fastest when it has a diversity of ideas and innovations flowing from many different self-assembled cultural groups, perhaps semi-self-segregated, but working within the whole with plenty of freedom. Okay, if you agree with this perspective, then keep reading, if not, I am going to introduce a philosophical thought and intriguing concept, which you may not agree with or it will offend you. Glad to see you are with me still. Now then, just like groups of different cultures, religions, professions, races and social groups bring about ideas and concepts, so too do different generations, as each generation grows up in a different era...

Most of us senior citizens have to strain a bit when we make a phone call these days. First, in order to dial using those tiny phone buttons, and secondly, to hear what the party on the other end of the phone is saying after our connection is made. We need phones with BIG buttons, and we need phones with ADJUSTABLE sound. In addition, most of us, these days, would also like our phone to have an answering machine I spent weeks looking for a phone that boasted all three attributes and was delighted to find ClearSounds Photo50, Model V608, which was not only reasonable priced, but which was really nice looking, too.
