Star Wars LEGO 2010 Review - Set 8098 Clone Turbo Tank

The 2nd wave of 2010 Star Wars Lego sets are due out in August. The wave includes 5 models and set 8098, the Clone Turbo Tank is the largest with 1139 pieces. This is the second Lego incarnation of the Republic's Military A6 Juggernaut tank with the initial release in 2005 to coincide with the release of Star Wars Episode Three Revenge of the Sith.

Back then it came with the rare figure of Mace Windu but this current version gives us two first release minifigures from the Clone Wars TV series, Cad Bane and Aalya Secura.

The Clone Wars Turbo Tank was featured in the Clone Wars television series season two premiere, The Holcron Heist, and the set comes with six figures that allow you to recreate alot of the action in that episode. Apart from Cad Bane and Aalya Secura the minifigures of Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano and two clone troopers round out the set.

The build is quite technical on the inside and while it is not very attractive it serves to make the model quite sturdy and a fun play, with the 10 extra large wheels a rarity in the Star Wars universe where most vehicles tend to fly or levitate. The tank can be carried around by one of the central technic pieces that protrude from the top, much like the AT-AT set from 2008, and it never feels in danger of falling apart. Lego has improved on the first release in a number of areas including the wheels which are more accurate this time around.

Priced at $119 US the set also comes with a small AT-RT Walker that can fold down and fit into the chassis of the tank. While fairly basic it allows one figure to sit in the allocated seat and ride around. Overall Lego have done a great job in bringing back this popular set from 2005, the first demanding high prices on the secondary market. The extra figures should make this highly appealing for fans.

Adhesive Photo Paper

Adhesive photo paper is just like an ordinary satin photo paper, with one important addition: an adhesive backside! And while an adhesive backside is seldom something we humans strive for, it makes adhesive photo paper all the more awesome! This backing allows you to print off a photo, then simply peel off the back of the paper and stick your photo anywhere you want to. Essentially, it turns your favorite picture into a sticker, which allows you to share it much more easily and much more widely with the masses - or your friends and family.

Are we excited about adhesive photo paper yet? I know I am! Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Using adhesive photo paper to brighten your day:

1. Take a close-up of your goldfish, then adjust the size to match your goldfish exactly. Print it off and stick it on the side of your fishbowl, just to see how long it takes people to notice.
2. Take a close-up of your goldfish, but instead of sticking it onto your fishbowl, stick it onto the side of the blender.
3. Remember that picture of your mother that she always hated? You know the one - with her hair all sticking up on one side, and her mouth open to yell/nag one of her children? Print that off, and stick it to her mirror in the morning. Life-size would make it even better.
4. Take pictures of yourself and a few of your friends in action poses, and stick them to cardboard. (A cereal box will do.) Then take your new action figures to the supermarket and see what fun ensues!
5. Stick pictures of rubber ducks all over the bathtub.
6. Stick pictures of real ducks all over the bathtub.
7. "Label" your briefcase with a picture of your three-year-old. If your family is the more dignified type, you can use a sweet studio picture. If your family is a little louder or wilder than most, you can use the picture in the high chair, with the Spaghetti-Os in his eyebrows.
8. Make some very creative, self-portrait return address labels. Even better - make some for someone else and gift them.
9. For those whose refrigerator looks like a natural disaster: take a picture of the fridge (preferably at a very frightening angle that highlights the lasagna spill on the bottom shelf,) and make a label that says, "Never again." Then clean the fridge. (You might want to take a picture of that, as well.)
10. Make a brilliant poster of your family, spoofing a popular movie.

Well, those are my ideas - go have fun, kids!

Blu-Ray Goes From Strength to Strength

A £1 million pound ad campaign aims to make Blu-ray a more dominant force in the home movie market.

A massive increase in sales of High Definition televisions over the past two years has provided Blu-ray's interested parties - namely big movie producers and distributors - a chance to persuade owners to exploit their new equipment to the best of its abilities.

The promotion of Blu-ray DVD in the UK is organised by the British Video Association. Its Director General Lavinia Carey, hopes that educating consumers about Blu-ray will increase sales.

Carey commented that "The best way to enjoy films at home is in High Definition and on Blu-ray discs and our goal is to boost understanding of the benefits of Blu-ray in the run up to Christmas."

At present the figures indicate that the majority of home movie viewing is DVD-based. The range of titles available on DVD and the relatively cheap cost of players and discs mean that at present DVD holds a commanding 92% market share.

Whilst Blu-ray sales increased this year by roughly 200% in comparison to the previous year, in total only 3.1 million units sold compared to over 99 million DVD units in the same period.

It is this gap which Blu-ray aims to bridge in the coming years.

Bridging the Impossible?

The main issue claims Helen Davis Jayaleth, Head of Video at Screen Digest, is that a lot of consumers, without full knowledge of Blu-ray's benefits, don't feel that they will be getting something that will deliver an improvement comparable to the VHS/DVD upgrade.

Jayaleth stated: "Clearly the start of a global recession was not the ideal time to launch an upgrade to what many consumers consider to be a perfectly serviceable home entertainment system."

Inevitably, the costs will come down but the prevalence of online DVD rental sites means that industry bodies such as the BVA cannot be sure that cost alone will be enough to persuade consumers to purchase DVD titles they may well already own on Blu-ray.

At present there are numerous online Blu-ray rental websites.

Lovefilm and Blockbuster operate the two largest with a large selection of the titles available to purchase.

Renting Blu-ray titles from online Blu-ray rental websites is often cheaper as most do not charge extra for the privilege.

This proves particularly useful for consumers who have purchased other technology that incorporates a Blu-ray player. PS3 owners for example, are all owners of a Blu-ray player.

Online DVD Rental websites mean they are able to rent games and movies at the same time for the same monthly subscription.

Consumers claim that for Blu-ray sales to reach the dizzy heights that DVDs currently enjoy, the price of the hardware needed to play Blu-ray discs and the cost of the discs themselves needs to fall, persuading people to replace DVD players.

It may need a new generation who only ever know High Definition before Blu-ray renders DVD obsolete or indeed, is rendered obsolete itself.

What is certain though is that it will take more than an advertising campaign to kill off the DVD.
