ApophisV Posted June 3, 2005 It has to be #33129, because 2 #2551's cannot be connected together smoothly. Otherwise you can't see the middle section of the ship, the base of the mast is REALLY huge and there are the shields at the middle of the sides. So it IS possible to just have two standard boats.... At least you there are no clues against this theory viewable at the pictures... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KimT Posted June 3, 2005 After completing my SW collection. Vikings is where I'll be putting all my hard earned cash. The new theme is the best in a long while from TLC (at least I think so). As for the mixing of basic LEGO with "bionicle" or technic bricks - I don't mind. Actually I think it would have been worse if they (TLC) made a dragon a l Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From the other side, look at this thread (second message). In early prototype #7016 had only one #33129... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted June 4, 2005 But I have to agree with some of the other comments re. the Bionicle creatures. The use of Bionicle parts give the creatures a robotic look. Don't care for this at all - esp. the wolf which looks more like a futuristic mechanical robot in the age of Vikings - just doesn't go together well. How best would it be to create those creatures? Without the Bionicle pieces they wouldn't have the poseability they do. Isn't it better to create them this way rather than the old way LEGO used to encoporate animals into their themes, E.g Elephants and dragons? But the good old monkey was very poseable.

WesternOutlaw Posted June 4, 2005 I'd honestly prefer a mold like the elephant with fewer pieces than the Bionicle wolf (or even a a mold similar to what Mega Blocks does for it's dragons). For a cybor-robot-mutant-space theme, this construction would be great, but it's just too mechanical/robotic for the age of Vikings. Agree with you re. the monkey.

Mister Phes Posted June 6, 2005 I agree with you on the wolf, Brickster. It looks more like a robot than an actual organic creature made of flesh and blood. But I don't think the dragon and sea serpent are too bad. However, I like the charm and simplicity of the LEGO creatures from the 80's and 90's. Which may seem somewhat hypocritical given my opinions on juniorisation. But I do amit I'm a hypocrite afterall! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Phes Posted June 12, 2005 Does anyone think that I'll actually end up buying any Viking sets? Would I dare venture out of the Pirate theme? Hmmmmmm... The boxes do make them look attractive afterall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xwingyoda Posted June 12, 2005 Does anyone think that I'll actually end up buying any Viking sets? Would I dare venture out of the Pirate theme? Hmmmmmm... The boxes do make them look attractive afterall. Well Phes, if you only buy pirate sets, your Lego cravings for new sets is equal to 0 :D Do venture in horizon expending hehe There is a world outside pirates you know ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted June 12, 2005 Ah yes, but until I have ALL the Pirate sets there will still be new Pirate sets for me to obtain. Of course once that's done (which it almost is) I might have to take a new direction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
