    No airtanks in new colours. No Classic torsos in new colours. A bit of a letdown from what you'd expect of a "Space CMF series" really. 4 or 5 worthwhile... such wasted potential. However, I usually only find 2-4 useful from a normal series of 16, so I guess it's a win?

    Thanks for sharing these videos, it's an amazing build! Really interesting to see the process. . I love monorails & rollercoasters. I live nowhere near either, sadly.

    Sure that I'll like some, but will have to wait and see them
  4. Artanis I
    Nice

    That only happens if they produce & release all of the copies in one go, and never stock up. Why would they do that? Are other non-exclusive sets sold out on day one, never to return? I'd think not often.

    It will be "fair again" when they stop using blind packaging altogether, and go back to selling cheap "impulse" polybags or boxes with pictures of what is inside. What they did for decades before 2011. The prices should come right back down. Just put a limit of 3 of each per customer per day to prevent hoarders from buying them all at once.

    I don't. Several minifigs I've looked for in recent times have not had their helmet included in their inventory, (which is irritating) and you need to get them separately (also irritating).

    armour/helmet+shield+weapon+cape=knight What should the minifig include for kids to look at it and say "that is a lord"?

    I want a Gondor army, not more fekn Rohirrim

    Not overly keen on the goat man's torso print, the woolly vest thing looks weird and abrupt. Otherwise I'd be all over it. Harpy is a harpy. 1 or 2. Basil the Rat Bat is great, 1, 2 or 3 depending on the price. Barbie looks great, I'd like a few of those to team up with the vikings.

    Not sure if anyone else said anything before, (and I haven't looked at the pirates ones to compare,) but I only just noticed that this set box says "12+" where the previous sets (Galaxy Explorer, Blacktron Cruiser, Lion Knight's Castle, Forest Hideout) all said "18 years and up"

    A bit of jumping to conclusions going on... Most likely it's just a bunch of more brickheads (or busts). A full wave of minifig-scale sets based on the 20 year old movies would be very much out of left field.

    Oh, so I now see this is a licenced theme (and why I couldn't find it anywhere else on the forum). I've never heard of it before, I saw the sets on Lego website and thought "Whoa! They've finally made Neo-Fabuland!" but I suppose not really

    My order arrived today, this set looks so underwhelming. Besides the nostalgia trip, (which I get when looking at images and my old stuff anyway,) the only redeeming (but not enough) factor is the existence of the torso print. And plenty of folks have pointed out that it's not really a great one. I'm just glad that it exists 'again' for potential reuse elsewhere. More new old dragon knights would be great, even if the helmet & adornments aren't as cool as the originals. Worst bit (of many): they can print a torso but not a shield? So weird. At least it was free, and this time I didn't have to buy anything I didn't want, to get to the threshold. But the Blacktron & Forest sets were really good! I guess you can't smash it every time.

    The model might be interesting, but not going to win me over in that boring colour scheme. If they're not going to make a proper space shuttle, go the whole hog and give it cool colours!

    The only Unitron set released outside NA was the monorail 6991, and there was nothing in our catalogue about them, just the picture of that set with Spyrius robots attacking it. So we had to just make it up (which is what children used to do in the old days anyway), and figured they were just the new Futuron equivalent (although nothing else came of them in the years following to boost that thought). Not that anyone I knew got that set, it was too expensive, haha. But there was a lone Unitron minifig in the 6705 set, so they weren't completely absent.

    The one photo I've seen tells me this is more Space than City Space has ever been, but it is still not Space enough for me. I'll Bricklink the minifigs. More interesting colour schemes & use of translucent elements is desired and not present.

    Everything I want is always out of stock when there's a promotion. Ever since we got our own separate warehouse. Before that, (when it came from Denmark,) the free postage threshold was higher, and it took a week longer for your order to arrive, but at least most sets were purchasable at any time. I wanted the Viking Village. Can't even back-order it!

    Been absent for over a month, saw that there was a promotion for this set (hadn't seen the discussion, pictures, or details for it yet), bought the $400 or so AUD required to get it, then after that I saw the proper sized images for it. Now I'm caught up with the discussion, and I can really only say what has been said 1000x already. First thought was "no shield?!?" and it only got worse from there. It always looked too tall to me
  20. Artanis I
    They are Collectible Minifigs from around a decade ago.
  21. Artanis I
    The minifig from the game would be fine. The big helmet gives the impression of him being tall
  22. Artanis I
    Nice. Crazy how many new pieces are made these days, there's just as many from the last 10 years as for the 35 years previous...
  23. Artanis I
    They should just make some kind of Striker redesign (bigger or just better/newer), reuse the Blacktron minifig as its prison cell occupant. Lights & sounds included.

    Everybody. Is. Dead. Dave. - Holly (Red Dwarf ship computer - IQ of 6000 PE teachers) Castle: dead. Space: dead. Pirates: dead. Western: very dead. Plain ninjas: dead. Aquazone etc: dead. Monorails: dead. Plain smiley with simple torso print and nothing else: dead. Sets made of plates & bricks: dead. If you want any more, you have to make your own. . People will try to say (in fact TLG often does say) they aren't dead because a one-off aimed at adults is released or such, but no-one is falling for that garbage. They are dead. And not "mostly dead". The classic/vintage Lego stuff is dead. Anything we get that resembles that 'good ol' stuff' is a rare miracle, so be grateful, but don't kid yourself!

    I really like the variety & effectiveness of the points
