For the Star Wars and/or Lego fanatic in all of us, Lego brought a new era of enjoyment when they agreed to a license with Lucasfilms, enabling them to produce a unique Star Wars line of Lego toys. The Lego Star Wars series has been available since 1999 and has been continually expanded upon. It was introduced with characters and vehicles from the original Star Wars trilogy (Episodes IV-VI). Since then there have been new sets and releases that encompass the prequel trilogy (Episodes I-III) and even the latest Clone Wars animated film and TV series.

All of the mainstays of the Star Wars franchise are available in Lego form. The characters, for the most part, maintain the typical Lego figure. That means that they have a square body with a block shaped head, with just slight variations such as colors and accessories like capes or hats/helmets. However, due to the wide discrepancy between the shapes and sizes of many of the Star Wars characters, unique and original molds were created for the Lego Star Wars line. Darth Vader for example, has his own easily recognizable head and head shape, as do the Stormtroopers, Yoda and many other aliens and characters. Yes, the lightsabers are available with some figures as well!

Outside of the characters, Lego Star Wars also produces all of the recognizable and famous ships and vehicles from the franchise. This includes the ultra-popular Millennium Falcon, which has been tweaked and improved upon since its original release. Also available of course is the X-Wing fighter. Other available vehicles and ships include the Imperial AT-ST, TIE fighters, a Rebel Blcckade Runner (the starship you see being chased by the Imperial Star Destroyer in the opening scene of the original movie) and several speeder crafts. There are also location sets including the Death Star, the Hoth Rebel base and more.

In addition to these characters and vehicles, Lego has released a vast array of Star Wars products, including several additions to their Technic line, which is based on complex parts and movement and are less reminiscent the classic block look, feel and construction of Lego figures. Also released was a mini figure magnet series with a dozen Star Wars characters. Additionally, Lego released several Star Wars products for their Ultimate Collector Series, which are large and highly complex designs. The Millennium Falcon for this series, with over 5,000 pieces, was the largest and most complex Lego product ever released for the public.

The single most popular Lego Star Wars product however would have to be the videogame series. These videogames sold tremendously well and reached critical acclaim across both the Star Wars and videogame community. The first game was based on the prequel trilogy, and the second game was based on the original trilogy. Afterwards, both were released together in one complete addition.

Lego Star Wars toys, figures and products are fun for just about everybody. Whether you are an adult reliving his childhood, or a child discovering the series for the first time, Lego Star Wars combines the best of two great franchises into an amazing line of products that should give you hours upon hours of entertainment.

Bad credit 24 Hs. Loans have many benefits for slow credit applicants that can be easily recognized: They are suitable for those who have bad credit and they can be approved within less than 24 Business Hs. However, not everybody knows that there are Bad Credit 24 Hs. Loans that require no credit checks and are thus suitable for those with no credit at all and even for those who have past bankruptcies on their credit history.

The Bad Credit Issue

Those that have bad credit have problems obtaining financing due to the higher risk that lending to them imply. Bad credit loans compensate for the risk charging a higher interest rate but those with no credit at all have further problems as their risk cannot be assessed. And those with a past bankruptcy are usually denied access to credit whenever their credit report is pulled.

Some of these applicants do not want financing with high rates and prefer to improve their credit prior to applying for a loan. But others would want in certain situations to be approved for a loan regardless of the rate charged. For these situations and for these applicants, bad credit 24 Hs. Loans with no credit checks are the perfect solution.

Lack Of Credit Verification

Since these bad credit 24 Hs. Loans require no credit assessment, the applicant’s credit score and history is not an issue and those with bad credit, no credit or bankruptcy can easily get approved. The lack of credit assessment has unfortunately other consequences on the loans’ terms and requirements that can turn these loans into quite expensive financial solutions.

The lack of credit verification implies that the loan is considered a high risk investment and thus the interest rate charged (in the form of a fee) will be higher than that of credit cards and unsecured loans. Also, the loan’s payment schedule is quite short with only a couple of months for repayment at most and the amount of money you can obtain through these loans is limited to a couple of thousands.

Is it Advisable To Use Them?

In order to answer this question the applicant needs to analyze his or her options. If there are no other financial products available due to bad credit or urgency bad credit 24 Hs. loans with no credit checks can provide the needed funds within a minimum period of time suitable for solving the emergency but the applicant needs also to consider whether he or she will be able to afford the loan.

So when pondering the benefits and drawbacks of these loans the main issue to analyze is the possibility to obtain the funds through other means. The second issue is the affordability of the loan repayment and these two issues will define whether the applicant should apply for this type of loan or not. For those with bad credit, no credit and past bankruptcies on their credit history bad credit 24 Hs loans with no credit checks are usually their only chance to cover the need for funds during emergencies but due to the high costs, if other source of funds is available it is advisable to try it before applying for these loans.
