Aimed at 9 to 14 year olds ( and dads of all ages), this 890 piece set with 12 LEGO star war mini figures and two A4 size instruction manuals of 84 & 64 pages respectfully, should keep the kids (and dads of all ages), contented for hours on end.

LEGO's The Battle of Endor Set Cast.

To commemorate LEGO'S tenth anniversary of Star Wars figures in the Battle of Endor you will find: 3 deceivingly fierce Ewoks, 2 Rebel Commandoes, a Death Star Trooper, 2 Scout Troopers, R2-D2, Chewbacca, Han Solo and Princess Leia.

Now for the hardware: the ultimate Ewok Catapult, over 19cm towering AT-ST Scout Walker: that now as more detail and move ability than earlier, 2 Speeder Bikes, which I thought was one of the most exciting chase sequences in the film, the Imperial Shield Bunker, the prime piece in the box, and what must be the most graceful fighting machine the Ewok Glider.

The Battle of Endor as a mid range price of just 73.00 GBP from the LEGO Shop, which seems to be the lowest price around, and more than worth the money. This isn't going to go down well with all the people who go to the star wars gatherings and have at lease one full, Imperial Storm Troopers uniform; grab another catapult and Mr Luke Skywalker, still not even 100.00 GBP.

AND LET THE BATTLE COMENCE! Battle for the Forest Moon of Endor

The battle on the moon of Endor depicts the last battle of the rebel alliance; the Imperial bunker has to be destroyed to remove the Death Stars defensive shield. The Endor Play Set features: The Imperial Bunker with sliding blast doors, the front and sides fall out as if hit by an explosion, and the rear section moves out to expand making it even larger.

What would have happened if Chewy wouldn't have high jacked the virtually relentless AT-ST killing machine; this extremely convincing reproduction of the movie original, with again more moving part than in the past and easy access to the cockpit opening for the figures to slide in smoothly, and the realistic scale creates a great effect for the kids.

The definitive 'Ewok Catapult' takes the number one spot, remember on the back croft when you used to play solders and the child with the field gun that fired dried rice, this is it the destroyer, who ever as this wins hands down; this thing fires rocks across a room; now you know why you have to get two.

Actors Making Bank - The Latest on Hollywood's Earners & Burners

Clearly, there's money to be made in Hollywood as an actor or actress. You don't even have to be an A-list commodity to make a decent living, although it's helpful. After all, who wouldn't want to be paid millions of dollars just to do whatever it is you do best?

In Hollywood money is tossed around like it was being printed by Milton Bradley. Top actors and actresses are making 8-figure salaries up front, with a piece of the action on the backend if the film makes money. Sometimes those salary figures make people crazy, but when put into perspective they somehow - almost - make sense.

Will Smith tops Hollywood's list of highest paid actors, making $80 million from his last four studio films. More than just a small pile of cash by any standard. However, those four films - Seven Pounds, Hancock, I Am Legend, and The Pursuit of Happyness - made nearly $1.7 BILLION dollars at the box office, worldwide. This does not include DVD sales, which can be as much as three times box office figures!

Here's the bottom line: you, me, and everyone we know would invest $80 million to get a return of $1.7 billion every day of the week if we could, because that's a massive return on investment, and that's the business of Hollywood studios. Will Smith's $80 million paycheck wound up being less than 5% of his films' grosses. Any way you slice it, he's a bargain and probably underpaid.

On the flipside of that coin is the most overpaid actor in Hollywood. Those honors go to Will Farrell. What is it with all these Wills? Seems that Farrell makes $1 for every $3 his films make at the box office. That'd be the mark of smashing success if the films in which he stars actually made money. Will Farrell made $20 million for Land of the Lost, which, well, lost at the box office. The film barely grossed $65 million, worldwide, which wouldn't be too bad if it hadn't cost more than $100 to make.

So, what would earning $1 for every $3 made at the box office mean for Will Smith? Add another zero to the end of his $80 million and you'd be right on track. See, now doesn't the math of Hollywood actually add up? Well, it makes sense to me. I just gotta figure out how to get a piece of it now!
