Is that a hand-made jacket? I love this photo, it's so whimsical and cute :)

sabbiesab : No, it's not hand-made, the Stormtrooper commander comes with that little orange bit of material on his shoulder. I forget which set I bought with him in it, it was a long time ago!

This is pretty amazing. I'd like to think stormtroopers have a little happiness left in their hearts, enough for a bike ride on a sunny morning, while whistling the "Imperial March." Beautifully done.

FYI, I used a few of your excellent photos (with links back to their pages on Flickr) in my recent presentation at the eclectic Interesting 2008 conference. I called it 'LEGO is full of WIN'.

"After the loss of the first Death Star, Emperor Palpatine had to take extreme budget cuts. This resulted the replacement of most Imperial transports by bicycles and the hiring of new Stormtroopers who referred to him as 'Palpy'." Great photo! The lighting is really great.

Hi, Mike:
Brick~Busters group found your MOC has been swiped and is being used on LEGO Club. This Screenshot below contains a LINK to the swiper's page -- Brick~Busters is now working on a system for reporting the Club pages swipes, since there is not a "comment text" form to submit a RFR -- yet we wanted to make you aware of this:

Stolerz by Phaze.


Thanks!
