Shakar Posted June 14, 2012 Pics? c: All right. The left arm is slightly different due to a mod I'm thinking of doing. And of course, I had to come up with some pathetic replacements for the shin guards and the helmet. As for the back armour, I realize that method wouldn't be stable IRL, but as far LDD is concerned that will do until we see what the real set uses (likely going to be the new hole-ball joint-hole liftarm from Stormer XL, but I digress). BTW, I didn't see the pic (I choose to not load pics on my phone) on your previous post. Cool stuff! How did you colour the torso? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

optimus99 Posted June 15, 2012 I'm not sure what it is but my guess is that the space station where surge and splitface fought looked like the one in ordeal of fire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King of Nynrah Posted June 15, 2012 Those look great. I already got an extra Reapa however, and I'm not sure if I need another one for now. I'll wait for a sale. I really hope they do the same thing with Glatorian heads. Hear hear! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Omicron Squad Leader Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) No I didn't and I would very much like to hear what it is. Basically, as the camera pans into Mission Control during the scene when Zib is assigning the Heroes their missions, an extra says "-and it was my first day on the job and everything", referencing the first scene in OoF when a miner says "Sorry, it's my first day on the job." AKA, he was the miner present when the Fire Villains attacked. Edited June 17, 2012 by Omicron Squad Leader Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mesonak Posted June 17, 2012 I always found that line in Ordeal of Fire incredibly hilarious, so having it referenced in Breakout made me smile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dorek Posted June 17, 2012 I wouldn't really consider that a reference, just a (possibly unintentionally) recycled joke. But hey, maybe it was, who knows. In other news, there's a new canon hero and villain, as per the latest LEGO magazine. You want to know their names? Too bad, they don't have any. "Unique" hero "Unique" villain The villain is actually kinda neat, as construction goes, and puts a good spin on the Jawblade build. The Hero is meh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cirkit Posted June 18, 2012 I've only seen the Hero and Villain in action poses in the magazine. Seeing them here is great for me. The Villain is a great build with well distributed colors(notice where the launcher is placed.. that made me laugh), and a great back story. "Sworn Enemy to Black Phantom", nice. The Hero isn't terrible, but he does look a little odd to me in that pose. I felt in the magazine he looked cooler. The back story is also kind of flat, though I did like that last bit. Thanks for posting the pics, Dorek. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DOTM Shockwave Posted June 18, 2012 I built "Hero" in LDD, and it looks pretty bad. It's head is too high up and the colors kinda clash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As you say, the villain is neat, and the hero is meh. It's really a shame these aren't better since we've seen so many decent combination models on the Hero Factory website and you'd think by now they could manage better ones in the magazine. The hero here feels as mediocre as Lucas Valor, if not more so. I certainly couldn't picture taking apart the component sets just to make this, when the original designs were so cohesive. Honestly I don't know what changed regarding combination models in LEGO Magazines. Back in the Brickmaster days we'd get all kinds of great models like the Pit War Tortoise, Zyglak, and Niazesk. Even the Manutri, as silly as it was (giant heavily-armed mutant penguin!), still ended up with a unique look. And Hero Factory sets have more than enough pieces to create unique-looking figures, as the official two-set combination models on the Hero Factory website demonstrate. So why is it that TLG has so much trouble putting together a decent three-set combination model for the magazine these days? My only guess is that it's because they're working with non-ideal color combinations, but I still think they could do better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My only guess is that it's because they're working with non-ideal color combinations, but I still think they could do better. They were properly ashamed of Lucas Valor and are taking a monk-like vow of abstinence from making combiners. Although really since they have to develop a whole line of guys every six months, I can understand maybe easing off a bit, but it is nice to see again. It was a reference, otherwise it wouldn't have even been there. Period. In other news, the combiners are nothing special. Says who? Background chatter is always a part of any movie. "It was my first day" is probably on their "list of slightly amusing, mostly corny things that people can say" and they added it in for no particular reason. It could ALSO be a reference to OoF, but it could have just been something they needed to fill the air. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It could ALSO be a reference to OoF, but it could have just been something they needed to fill the air. You would have thought they would choose a less obscure line if it was just to "fill the air"? It's clear that it wasn't intended to be amusing, as "-and it was my first day on the job and everything." is not funny in any sense of the word, unlike the original line, and due to all of the other scenes panning into Mission Control only having techno-noises in the background, we can conclude that having "background chatter" wasn't collateral to the creators. Also, if you actually watch the clip, you can see that the speaker uses the exact same model as the miner in OoF, and has a very similar voice actor. Why does this even need to be debated? The truth is blatantly obvious, and it's only a trivial little titbit. *sighs* Edited June 18, 2012 by Omicron Squad Leader Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
