DarkSurgeXL Posted December 20, 2012 I really hope for a trans yellow visor for Surge. Oh, I forgot to commment on the Ice monster. He looks really cool, I hope he will be a medium sized set. These Laval fur pieces look so good on him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bacem Posted December 20, 2012 looks like the summer sets will be great!! Stormer looks nice, and Surge... wow, the wings looks cool!! hopefully one of them would be an XL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheRedGuy Posted December 20, 2012 The white one looks so much like Pyrox that I thought that he was a white variant until someone mentioned it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MakutaDreadscythe Posted December 20, 2012 Well in regards to eye colour I think this is a question for Front. Are there going to be new colours for the new heads? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraikNova Posted December 20, 2012 Looks like a completely different helmet to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xeros610 Posted December 20, 2012 This guy looked so cool in other photos, but in this you can see that big brain thingy is like ughh! Is just STRANGE!! Imean, still looks cool, but..... that thingy is enourmus!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraikNova Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) You're right. To match the (pre-infection) ones from the video, it should be about the size of a piece of cladding. However, has anyone else noticed how the slugs grow to the "real" size after infection? Edited December 20, 2012 by DraikNova Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aanchir Posted December 20, 2012 Personally, I have no problem with the size of the brain slugs, other than that their size may be a factor in Scarox being such an awful, bare-bones set otherwise. I like the fact that rather than simply being "collectibles" connected with the villains/monsters of this year's sets, the brain slugs can seem like fearsome monsters in their own right. This isn't to say that the brain slugs couldn't have worked, but they wouldn't have been quite as scary IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZORK64 Posted December 20, 2012 I wouldn't bet on it, but it seems like that Surge might be a titan set this time (at least he'll become a Deluxe set, given the wings). I'm also looking forward to ice guy and Stormer of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraikNova Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) For once, there's a year lineup with XL build's with no problems at all. Edited December 20, 2012 by DraikNova Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinyl Scratch Posted December 20, 2012 The spider species that Scarox belong to must be one hell of a giant kind. I mean, considering Scarox(es?) are on-par with the rest of the alien-ized animals and I have NEVER seen spiders with such a big size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aanchir Posted December 20, 2012 For once, there's a year lineup with XL build's with no problems at all. Furno XL's not out yet; don't jinx us! Already he's got his empty crotch area, and there's no telling how incomplete other parts of his build might look from certain angles. Overall I like his design, but I can't say for sure whether it's better than Stormer XL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nike2032 Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) Pyrox review is up. I'm staring to really like this guy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0M36VXR4I Edited December 20, 2012 by Nike2032 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shakar Posted December 20, 2012 No back armour! Seriously Lego, what have you been smoking when you deisgned these sets? No, the "attach the slug brain to the back" feature is not an excuse for that. The piece count isn't, either- Pyrox has 50 pieces, which is a very low count. Good thing I ended up with lots of black feet.. Pyrox confirms himself as my favourite 2013 Winter villain, save for that pitiful detail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CabooseBM Posted December 21, 2012 I've given up the goose when it comes to back coverings, since I always end up modifying my builds anyway. And to be honest I don't like Pyrox too much anyways, after building him I realized his head/face is too big for his body. I'm gonna need to build him a bigger body, that's for sure.

Aethersprite Posted December 21, 2012 Thanks for the screencaps Vinyl! Could I request one of the "heroes assembled" scene with Breez, Stormer, Furno, Rocka and Bulk, just when Stormer draws the ice blade on his half shield piece? I can't make out if that's a new piece or just the same blade used for his sword. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't make out if that's a new piece or just the same blade used for his sword. Thanks! It was mentioned by Shakar on pg 37 that its a blue version of the flame piece on Furno and Pyrox. I was able to make it out. We can expect the blue flame on Stormer. Edited December 21, 2012 by Jetrax99 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinyl Scratch Posted December 21, 2012 Can't really tell. The shape looks similar yet it seems to be a new piece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aethersprite Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) Thanks so much Vinyl. It's actually the new fire piece on Furno/Pyrox but in (hopefully) trans-blue. Still don't like the fact that Stormer has a half-shield, the half of the H looks really incomplete. But overall Stormer looks great. The summer wave is looking much better than the winter wave. EDIT: Ninja'ed by Jetrax99. What he said. Hey Stratos!! Fellow Singaporean here, are the sets available anywhere yet? Nope. Singapore gets the winter wave of HF sets in February every year, unfortunately, so we'll have to wait a couple of months more before we get them.

bacem Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) um, did anyone have an idea of when the winter sets be available worldwide? i mean, maybe an official information or something along that lines? Edited December 21, 2012 by bacem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrotherDog Posted December 21, 2012 Pyrox review is up. I'm staring to really like this guy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0M36VXR4I If he were as brown as he looks from the lighting in your video, I'd almost want that one then. Sadly he's just more unwanted red parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mesonak Posted December 21, 2012 If he were as brown as he looks from the lighting in your video, I'd almost want that one then. Sadly he's just more unwanted red parts. Metru red is never unwanted as far as I'm concerned, especially in Hero Factory. :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpiderSpaceman Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) But BrotherDog, red bulls give you wings! Can't really tell. The shape looks similar yet it seems to be a new piece. Obviously the part models in the animation are representations rather than replications, but it's so specific that it couldn't be depicting anything else. It's unmistakably the same element.
