Sure, there are websites and stuff, but to my knoledge it's not on tv, nor is it part of my world 2) i'm afraid this is yet another Minifig based theme, meaning, like the batman theme, most attention will go to the minifigs, not the buildings, boats or any other object. but at least the batmobile and the other things associated with batman are part of the collective memory. Avatar isn't. Why do you think is the sw line so successful? 3) we still haven't seen any lego set of this theme so it's rather difficult to talk about it. Quote
gylman Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 All 20 episodes of the show to date can be easily obtained online from file sharing sites (Limewire etc). it really is a surprisingly good show. Quote

No that EB would encourage the illegal downloading of files. :-D I've seen the first 4 eps and like them, just gotta find the time to watch the rest. But what I've seen, I've really liked. Quote
gylman Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Agreed - it's no Samurai X or Evangelion (not that those shows had great animation, but they did have great story). But it's better than just about anything else out there right now for kids' animation. And seems to be very popular. I think TLC wanted some sort of a tie-in that the 7-13 year old crowd could connect with. It made a bet on Avatar. I hope (and I believe) that it is a better guess than Galidor. My kids certainly are obsessed with this show (Avatar). Lego is pursuing a dual approach of license-related products and more classic bricks/technic. Starwars is gone, and Batman I guess will replace it hopefully as their big bet. I think that they are making some side-bets on stuff like Spongebob and Avatar. Good luck to them. Personally, I don't see any great sets coming out of this show unless they want to build a really awesome temple. But it appears that the temple set is going to be the lesser of the two, with the ship larger. I don't care much for ships other than the Classic Pirate big ones (BSB, SES), which are like works of art. The ship in Avatar is not particularly pretty to look at, so I am skeptical about this set. However, all this is hot air.... we need to see what's out there. Quote

Vader Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 Yes please all take note that we dont encourage illegal downloading. Quote
snefroe Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 Yes please all take note that we dont encourage illegal downloading. besides, there are lots of clips on the official site and fansites. they'll give you an idea what it's all about, just do a google search... Quote
Kikuichimonji Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 Yes please all take note that we dont encourage illegal downloading. besides, there are lots of clips on the official site and fansites. they'll give you an idea what it's all about, just do a google search... Actually, downloading it isn't illegal, but sharing it is. At least, that's the law over here. Just don't allow any uploads and you aren't doing anything illegal. Quote
General Veers Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 I like the series and the sets look fine! I'm with Kmoi. I nver buy any of the other lego sets so this means something! plus I'm more into the ship and soldiers! Quote
Sir Dillon Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 What do you mean by "I never buy any of the other Lego sets"? Quote
Darth_Ewok Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 The sets look ok... I like the creativity but it is definately aimed at a younger audience :-| Quote
Janus Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 Well personally I've seen the first season and I find the show to be quite entertaining. The two part finale, Siege of the North, was particularly good. I know that I will be purchasing these sets as soon as I can, especially the Fire Nation Ship. Quote
Zane Posted May 28, 2006 Posted May 28, 2006 So, any idea if they'll be avaliable in the UK by June 22nd? Quote
sam89 Posted May 28, 2006 Posted May 28, 2006 To be honest, I'll be surprised if they're ever released in the UK *wacko* Quote
sam89 Posted May 28, 2006 Posted May 28, 2006 Well, based on the other strange things LEGO have been doing recently, it defintely wouldn't surprise me. Has Avatar ever even been shown in the UK? They're also not listed on amazon.de, unlike all of the other 2006 sets. It seems to me that the Avatar and Spongebob sets are US exclusives, all though I don't know for certain. Quote
Zane Posted May 28, 2006 Posted May 28, 2006 It was on Toonattik for over half the series, and is on Nickelodeon apparently. Spongebob is on all the time on ITV.... Quote
Kahgarak Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 If i'm ever getting an Avatar set,i think i'll get the ship or the temple. Quote
Kikuichimonji Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 If i'm ever getting an Avatar set,i think i'll get the ship or the temple. Aren't those the only 2 sets available? Or did I miss a set? Quote
Sir Dillon Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 If i'm ever getting an Avatar set,i think i'll get the ship or the temple. Isn't that the only sets there are? Quote
Janus Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 Yes, those are the only sets. I bought them today, and I intend to make them my first pictorial reviews, and hopefully I'll get them up tonight or tomorrow, so you can look forward to that. Quote
babyjawa Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 The Avatar sets are way cool. Especially the Fire Nation Ship, even though I only bought it for the pieces. I do hope that they plan on making more. I will definitely get them. Quote
