Aethersprite Posted July 2, 2013 I bought them at my local LEGO store. You get a polybag with every HF purchase for free. As far as I know, you'll also get them when you order the bags at S@H, but I'm not sure since the only thing I order online are Pick a Brick bags. In fact, I got even two polybags, because I made two purchases: When I first went to the LEGO store, I decided to buy only Stormer, Surge and Dragon Bolt, but some time later I had to buy something else at a store near the LEGO store, and so I thought "Ah, why not?", went in there again and bought Frost Beast and Aquagon. I'm actually surprised that nobody requested Dragon Bolt yet. I almost thought that everybody wants a review of him first. Not that I'm complaining about this - the suggestion to start with Stormer and Frost Beast is a good idea actually, since it allows me to pitch them against each other then. But yeah, I'll write a review for the polybag first. You're so lucky! I highly doubt I'll see the black brain promotion in my country. If I were you, I'd have bought the sets one by one, to get 7 black brains. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dorek Posted July 2, 2013 If not time consuming and a bit obnoxious to cashiers =P. Could have easily done two or three trips, though. Was it actually a LEGO store, or just a general store? I'm in France for an annual vacation, and there's plenty a toystore and such around that I could scout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ToaJaller78 Posted July 2, 2013 I'll be getting the promo on the 15th when it begins. In the US at least. Heres the proof: http://cache.lego.com/r/stores/-/media/Brand%20Retail/Stores/Calendar/July/4803_JUL13_Fr_625x947px.png It SAYS it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZORK64 Posted July 2, 2013 To be honest, I'm far more interested in the sword than the brain slug, but that's mostly because I haven't really tried the MOC potential of the slug out yet. I'm also not to keen on the tail connection of the slugs, since it hinders the poseability of the head to a great deal. But hey, given how many slugs I now own, I will eventually use a few for MOCs I guess. And a super special brain slug is also neat. Was it actually a LEGO store, or just a general store? I'm in France for an annual vacation, and there's plenty a toystore and such around that I could scout. It was an actual LEGO store. Though the one in my town is still relatively new, it opened in late 2010. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MakutaDreadscythe Posted July 2, 2013 @ZORK64 You have no idea how jealous I am right now. Please, by the power of the UK, may they show up in Argos. At least Surge and Frost Beast, because I like flying things and having the yeti from SkiFree on my desk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MakutaNocturn Posted July 3, 2013 Are Lego Stores in Belgium? I will be in this country for 2 weeks while there will be a Black Brain offer and I would like to get one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZORK64 Posted July 4, 2013 Behold! My highly requested review for the polybag is online! You can find it here. I also already took pictures of Stormer and Frost Beast. Tomorrow I'll take pictures of Aquagon, Surge and Dragon Bolt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Mugbearer Posted July 4, 2013 I don't think Bionicle didn't have the guts to make a corrupted hero, just that it didn't pop up in the major story at any point. Maybe a parallel shadow Takanuva in the later years? I don't know. Tuyet and Lesovikk does count as corrupted heroes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jetrax99 Posted July 4, 2013 Tuyet and Lesovikk does count as corrupted heroes. Not exactly. Tuyet was deranged, dare I say insane, but not exactly evil. Lesovikk exempted himself from the Toa code but still fought for good. So, they don't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Mugbearer Posted July 4, 2013 In fact, Tuyet was doing what she felt right for sake of Matoran race. But she were corrupted with Nui Stone's power. What exactly will count as corrupted hero though? Ah! What about Nidhiki and other former Toa? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MakutaNocturn Posted July 4, 2013 Yeah Nidhiki was mentioned. Lewa was also corrupted. For a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aethersprite Posted July 4, 2013 Question for those who own Dragon Bolt: How well does its brain glow in the dark? How bright is it? I'd ask for pictures, but then I realized glow-in-the-dark things don't show up well in pics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kalhiki Posted July 4, 2013 Question for those who own Dragon Bolt: How well does its brain glow in the dark? How bright is it? I'd ask for pictures, but then I realized glow-in-the-dark things don't show up well in pics. Just got him recently. It glows quite well. It apparently got enough light just sitting around the house to the point where it would visibly glow. Of course, black light will always be the best when giving it a charge. However, I'm not sure if they all glow that well. LegoJANG mentioned in his review that his faded really fast. Kalhiki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chro Posted July 4, 2013 Ah! What about Nidhiki and other former Toa? That counts for sure. I guess I just didn't think of Nidhiki, or Brutaka for that matter, because when they were introduced they were already evil (or in Brutaka's case, just not good).

WARHEAD Posted July 4, 2013 Vakama Hordika also went evil at one point if I remember right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
