    LEGO Dimensions Discussion

    Its been clear for a long time now that we won't be getting anymore Dr. Who characters (or more year-one themed characters for that matter). Not sure why we need to keep acting like we don't know that already...

    The LEGO Batman Movie Set/CMF Rumors & Discussion

    Those pictures are allowed of course as they have been unveiled publicly, but I won't be adding them to the first page here as technically they are branded under the Lego Dimensions theme and not Superheroes/LBM itself. Dimensions product discussion should go under physical brick discussion or the game discussion itself.

    Marvel Superheroes 2017 - Set Discussion

    Everyone please do not post or inquire about where to find "leaked" images. Even though they are drawings of preliminary/set images, we cannot allow them on Eurobricks. In the past we have gotten in trouble for members posting detailed drawings of unreleased sets. Thanks!

    LEGO Dimensions Discussion

    Seems a bit bold of Dimensions to be throwing Supergirl out there like this, considering she's basically the cause of the only large negative public response that Dimensions has received thus far. Plus LSP wore it narrates better!

    Marvel Superheroes 2017 - Set Discussion

    Let's keep the focus on the sets we do know about as opposed to the movie plot points that many people would rather not know about. Spoiler tags would be appreciated in this regard. Please keep in mind that we also have appropriate threads in the Community forum to openly discuss the films, such as this Marvel one. Thanks!

    LEGO Star Wars 2016 Pictures and Rumors

    Yesterday I went hopelessly hunting for Rogue One sets (like everyone else!) for some reason and then came home with 75158 Rebel Combat Frigate from Toys R Us at a nice 20% discount. For some reason, Toys R Us decided every Star Wars set was 20% off, so it turned out to be a great deal for an admittedly overpriced minifigure set. In short review, it's a spectacularly nice ship/set on its own merits, but not so much when compared to the show. Larger than I thought it would be, it's still easily swoosh-able considering the strong handle connection. Very sold rock hard build. It's the first "capital" Star Wars ship I own and it makes a nice impression in that regard (that is until I can get my hands on a Star Destroyer). Now, is it screen accurate to Phoenix One? Not necessarily, the colors are off, and some of the shaping is a bit wonky, but it's a nice looking ship on it's own. Scale is also way off obviously. All the features work very well especially the tandem wing movement. Ahsoka is entirely worth the price of the set FYI, but she gives off more of the feeling of Ahsoka rather than a 1:1 representation of the character. Her headpiece is very nice, made of a semi-soft plastic, and is printed rather well. But her unique Medium Blue blades are a far cry from screen white/clear design, and her eyes don't seem right. So not screen accurate, but neither is the odd inclusion of Kallus, who despite being my favorite Star Wars character, should have been replaced with a more appropriate character like the Seventh Sister (which I think would have made the set far more interesting for buyers). The worst part of the set surprisingly, is Commander Sato, whose face print is just utterly horrible. Lego used dark orange for the facial feature lines and they look inhuman--his alternative face is the worst I've ever seen. It looks like a freeze frame of the moment he was kicked in the shin by a kid a terrible galactic birthday party. So good set for Rebels fans; mild set for others; great set on sale!

    Some Rude Moderators?

    Glad to see this helps (myself included). I would prefer that we keep unofficial info in various "future" threads, as much as possible. Obviously, sources posting in the year threads gives their information most exposure, but it also opens up the thread up to speculation and wishlists. To help circumvent that problem, we as staff, focus members towards confirmed information on the first page of each year thread. But yes, if sources were to post their information in current or new future threads that would be very much appreciated. On rumors in the title, as Hinckley note it has been an ongoing process.

    Some Rude Moderators?

    Thank you (and the other members) for your input. In relation to your question about my standards of the Licensed thread: it is my personal objective to ensure that members conversing in the Licensed forum (specifically the 'year' threads) focus on official information first and foremost, as much as possible. Discussion of non-official info, such as that provided from members (while appreciated), often causes the thread(s) to derail. Members not participating in the discussion actively come to me, the thread itself, or through use of the report button, to ask questions about the validity of claims and/or to report to the staff that the thread itself has become too confusing for them to follow. My intent behind keeping the threads on topic is to ensure that they are easy for anyone to understand at a glance--not only for those members actively participating in the discussion, but also for the many more members and site visitors that read the thread but don't actively participate in the conversation. When I see that we are getting reports of off-topic conversations and when I see members asking if unofficial information is 'true', I know that it is time to step in and attempt to sway the conversion in the right direction. This is not an easy task to do--which is why I become (clearly) frustrated when the discussion does not change after I ask members to focus on the central topic on hand. I apologize to those who have been offend by my statements, that is not my intent, and for the record I do not come to Eurobricks to harass other members. I do not intend however to change my core principle of keeping the thread focused. All that said, I will attempt to do so from now on with a more cordial tone, as per the request of the Licensed community. So what does this mean going forward? I don't have any problems with people discussing various topics across the forum, I only ask that they be discussed in their proper place (to the best of one's ability). The Licensed forum already contains many underutilized threads where the conversation on unoffical information (etc.) can be openly discussed, such as: the Marvel Super Hero General Discussion, DC Super Heroes General Discussion, Future Marvel Super Heroes Discussion, Future DC Super Heroes Discussion, Marvel Super Heroes Wishlist, DC Super Heroes Wishlist, among many others. It is also entirely appropriate for members to create new threads to discussion topics that they feel are not applicable in any of the current threads. Incidentally, we also have the movie threads in the Community forum for DC and Marvel, which I often point towards when discussion gets too spoilery or too speculative for the year threads. I understand the close relationship between the movies and the sets makes this separation difficult, but I and many members would appreciate if spoilery material could be left to these two threads, whenever possible. I hope this helps clear up my stance on thread discussions, but I am always available here or through PM if anyone wishes to further discuss this or other mod-related conversations with me.

    Marvel Superheroes 2016 Rumors And Discussion

    I don't know what to say. Clearly people don't seem to grasp the difference between on-topic and off-topic discussions. Or more likely they just choose to ignore me completely. SO I'm just going to hide away all the off-topic garbage that people keep dumping here. If you want your posts to show up in the Licensed forum, you better damn well be sure they're on topic. We'll see how many people read that I suppose.

    Marvel Superheroes 2016 Rumors And Discussion

    Personally, I wish we didn't have any members posting information from "sources" (ergo leakers). Or the ramblings of uninformed Toys R Us employees for that matter. They cause nothing but rampant speculation and endless postings of questions like "what about the polybag?" when there's no indication, whatsoever, that we are getting such a set. All that said, last time I checked this was the Lego Marvel 2016 Discussion thread--so let's focus on the sets shall we?

    Marvel Superheroes 2017 - Set Discussion

    Here's a thought...no spoiler tags should be used at all! Because this is not a movie discussion thread--you shouldn't be talking about spoilery plot points in the first place! This is a Lego set discussion thread. Talk about Lego Marvel 2017 sets, or don't talk at all. Simple as that.

    REVIEW: 41492 Iron Man & Captain America

    Great review Oky! I find the box art rather hilarious, so I hope they keep the 360 degree photographing going on for the actual line. That being said, I don't really care for the styling or concept really of these figures in the first place. As a convention exclusive--they're great. As a full line? Rather derivative of Funko and not original--which really seems off for Lego. So it will be really interesting to see the reception of the full line and how well they seem to sell.
  13. After fighting his way out of the labyrinth of lines that is SDCC, Eurobricks Review Academy teacher Oky presents his review of this convention exclusive set; a set which foreshadows the upcoming Lego Brickheadz line, to be released in 2017.

    The LEGO Batman Movie Set/CMF Rumors & Discussion

    As always, the only confirmed information is what has been posted to the first page of this thread. Everything else is just conjecture, speculation, and baseless wishes--and should be treated as such. I've been getting a lot of reports coming from this thread so I'll say it now, again, and clearly since members choose not to comprehend my posts: This thread is not for wishlists. This thread is not for speculation. Discuss the sets--the ones we actually know about--or don't discuss anything at all. Take the movie talk to the right place. Thanks.

    LEGO Disney minifgures series 2 List Rumors

    These are really just unsubstantiated rumors--and as seeing as we are still months away from 2017, I'm going to close this thread. If anyone wishes to further discuss this rumored list, please use the Disney CMF Wishlist thread. Thanks!

    DC Superheroes 2016 - Rumors and Discussion

    That is more of a discussion for the minifigure customization forum. Please only set discussion here! Thanks!

    [MOC] And All the Powers of Hell!

    "Now, shall you deal with me, O Prince! And all the powers of Hell!" Herein lies proof that I don't just show up to adjust conversation discussions , but that I do, in fact, build things too! This Sleeping Beauty creation was built for, and displayed at, Brickworld Chicago 2016. At the convention it won the award for Best Vignette.

    71040 The Disney Castle Discussion

    Incidentally, for anyone intending to buy two castles in order to place them back to back--do note the castle is asymmetrical...as in it won't work without tremendous effort! That would be an expensive mistake!

    Marvel Superheroes 2017 - Set Discussion

    Let's move the discussion away from wishlists and more towards actual set discussion shall we? Thanks!

    LEGO Dimensions Discussion

    Are we seriously...collectively...asking for someone to LEAK PICTURES?! I don't even know what to say to that, except everyone asking for this knows it is not something they should be doing, but they clearly don't care. If anyone posts leaked pictures, they will be banned. Simple as that.

    The LEGO Batman Movie Set/CMF Rumors & Discussion

    Everyone please stop asking questions and digging for information from sources. This thread is turning into nothing but questions. Also, be advised that none of this information is actually confirmed. We've been burned before by grandiose claims coming out of nowhere. This feels like one of those instances to me. Thanks!

    Cars 3 2017

    Last I checked this was fake. That was made abundantly clear. Please do not open new year threads based on hunches and hints. If and when we get any credible tangible info on this theme, I'll consider opening a thread.

    DC Superheroes 2017 - Set Discussion

    Appreciate the enthusiasm! However, I'm going to hide that thread away until we get more substantial information that demands a sub-theme specific thread be made. In the meantime, all the "DC Superhero Girls" discussions can continue on here, in the overarching DC Superheroes 2017 thread. I've merged the previous Girls discussion over. Thanks everyone!
