Aanchir Posted November 28, 2012 According to exoforce.ru, the Garmatron will have a prison cell in the back for a minifigure, and the function of the Samurai Bike is indeed described as a "rapid-fire missile launcher", though exactly how rapid it is I don't know... I'm certainly not expecting anything quite like 7020 from a function so small and unimposing. Other than those two things, none of the functions really seem to be more than what we could have understood from the pictures we already have, but it's still nice to know that Garmatron does have more assets than those pics have really advertised.

Garmadon Posted November 28, 2012 Heh, turns out there are some set-show consistencies after all... Like what??? The Garmatron in the movie doesn't have a prison!!! And the Samurai bikes shoot things that look VERY different, more like parts of saws... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aanchir Posted November 28, 2012 Like what??? The Garmatron in the movie doesn't have a prison!!! And the Samurai bikes shoot things that look VERY different, more like parts of saws... No, the Samurai Bikes in the show each have a giant energy cannon on the back (which somewhat resemble an NXT sensor of some kind). The vehicles that shoot saw blades are completely different, as I remember it-- more like catapults than anything else. Unless there was a scene in which the bikes shot saws which I'm not remembering. Also, yeah, I can see how the trapdoor on the Garmatron could be connected with the prison cage in the set, depending on how that ends up looking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Okay, I suppose so, but I meant that is isn't very similar because Lloyd gets thrown out the back. And I knew that they were different vehicles, but they are the only vehicles that ever shoot anything (ot including Garmatron). i.e., maybe the Samurai Bikes have energy cannons, but they never shoot them, or at least very rarely.

Kai NRG Posted November 29, 2012 I'm not sure how good quality the last photos we got of the 2013 sets were, but here are the kind of mouse over to zoom in images of the sets: Cole's Power Drill Samurai Bike Garmatron Kai's Fire Robot Temple of Light Golden Dragon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheRedGuy Posted November 29, 2012 Awww. I thought it would be the Overlord face. Also, can someone tell me why there are 4 box images for every set? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lyichir Posted November 30, 2012 I´m disappointed that we won´t get an Ovelord face. I don't think it would have looked that good "flattened" against the minifig head anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PenPlays Posted November 30, 2012 ^That's what the mouthguard was for, since The Helmet of Shadows never had that in the show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aanchir Posted November 30, 2012 ^That's what the mouthguard was for, since The Helmet of Shadows never had that in the show. I actually get the idea that this is meant to just be Garmadon and the mouth guard was deliberately omitted in the show so Garmadon could be more expressive-- the same way that parts of the masks in the fourth BIONICLE movie were removed except in fight scenes so that the characters' mouths could be seen. The Stone Army didn't get similar treatment because, being generic enemies, the audience is not meant to identify or sympathize with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Algernon Posted November 30, 2012 I like Kai's Fire Robot a lot. Personally, this wave interests me a lot more than the Snake one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, I don't think it's even supposed to be the overlord, LEGO just thought it would add something to the set to include the mouth piece (it does!).

TheLegoDr Posted November 30, 2012 Thanks for the pictures. It only confirms my lack of interest in this theme (I've never been huge into Ninjago). Although I do really like the Kimono outfits and the stone warriors. I may have to pick them up, but the sets as is isn't really my cup of tea. I think this will be a good farewell wave for the theme though after seeing everything that has been available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faefrost Posted December 2, 2012 I'm not sure on this group? I love the Kimono Ninja's and some of the figs. But the sets themselves seem sort of soso. I think the only one on my must have list is the Gold Dragon? The Temple of Light just seems bleah compared to the Fire Temple set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the only one on my must have list is the Gold Dragon? The Temple of Light just seems bleah compared to the Fire Temple set. There are a lot of sets that will seem bleah compared to the Fire Temple set. If the Fire Temple set is your threshold for a good set your standards might be a bit high. Overall, the Temple of Light has some interesting architecture, and is a decent likeness of the setting from the show. Also, I love how it can fold up, so it can actually resemble a 3-D structure rather than just a facade like so many 2011 sets (Spinjitzu Dojo and other "arena" sets). It can never be fully enclosed, but overall I'm impressed with its design. The only criticisms I have are that the tiny gong and mallet is a poor substitute for the epic giant bell from the show, and there is no place to "hide" the Golden Mech before it is unlocked with the elemental swords.
