    Pretty good........... but where are all the shanks shooting at you from every direction at once?
  2. Artanis I
    It shouldn't really count as a separate proper set, and then it would also be really weird if it won ahead of the original
  3. Artanis I
    I couldn't vote for the reissue. When the original is up, it'll be a different story.

    Actually no, it's an argument I've heard before, the HERALDRY is being considered "too cartoonish" (must be an important thing for some people to discount an entire theme over it, personally I never noticed before it was brought up), but it's true that 2013, Royal Knights and KKI (and some others) had more cartoonish heraldry than most other factions. Not talking about the set designs, the minifig designs or colour schemes or anything, just the animals on the shields, flags and some torso prints. Kingdoms vs Castle 2013: Various others:

    Easiest round ever. 6075 a great set, a tiny bit low on minifigs but excellent playset and a unique base. The burps are on hinges so the whole thing opens up. Much better than open-back style.

    Sooooo......... Back to the ban hammer, (or axe or whatever) Getting rid of Nexo Knights has so far allowed for 0 new Castle and/or Space themes. But we still keep dreaming of course. I feel that all of the space ships / sci-fi jets in Ninjago, DC, Marvel & Star Wars are a saturation block for a full Space theme happening (regardless of what play-testing results would say anyway). Not sure about castles and knights though.

    Well done, great job

    My first guess is that it's not something that was available for purchase, but was furniture from a Lego retailer or display

    Thanks again, package received. Same as already shown

    1. The Flintstones is a sitcom?!? 2. To be pedantic, Ghostbusters was also a TV show first, but they changed a LOT when they made the movie. Remember the 2 cartoons? One was heavily based on the movies, the other was based more on the original show.

    6077 is one of the best non-castles, 6080 is iconic and an incredible parts-pack but from the no barding, visor or armour piece era, 6081 is very cool and one of the better raised castles, but 6090 is the most impressive raised castle (bigger but not better than the Black Knights one), and in my opinion the last one that was better than just okay. Slightly low on minifigs and a bit cartoonish coat-of-arms is about all that's negative about it.

    Yeah, the info is in the link I posted. And I found it by searching the Bricklink catalogue for sets that contain a certain piece that looks uncommon.

    Wow, so much low-end Knights Kingdom and Not-Forestmen so far, and then all of a sudden 4 of the top 20 sets of all time... What a group of death. I'll have to think about this vote for a while.

    This one, I'd say

    Something I never really thought about before. Different time periods used different approaches. Some sub-themes had a single trans colour, some had multiple. If not all just one, I tended to use red for rear lights & engines or powerful weapons, and the theme's dominant trans colour for other lights, energy beams/panels, lasers, shields etc. Especially the neon ones. Gets a bit different when you're talking about sets with green & red (presumed) lights, a different colour for the canopy and such. Even if it's just the trans black (or smoke, whatever), canopies that are tinted have a more 'sci-fi' feel to them than the plain clear. I recall City (or should I say Town) sets used to use light blue visors, windows and screens. Even that looks more scientific/magical.

    No no no, it's all wrong, the guy on the left's weapon of choice is supposed to be a shovel, and Blue Raja throws cutlery...

    In the past, the people who were drawn on 24/12 got a bonus with their prize, but everyone from 1-23 got the same prize without the bonus.

    Again with the arguments as to why people are wrong for wanting themes to go away or have a break... This is a vent/rant thread, if you don't like it, don't read it. But please don't continue to add insult to injury in this thread. It's so tedious and pointless. And if you're like this in real life, always explaining why someone's feelings are wrong, don't ever get married, your wife will become the most miserable person to ever live.

    In Australia, they are exclusive to Amazon. No shelf space, no toy or department shops. The Warcraft Megabloks were sold at EB Games, I think Overwatch Lego could sell really well there.

    TLG had better sue Eurobricks then. There's studs on our logo too!

    Apparently Aquazone was supposed to be on some other planet anyway. So it WAS a Space theme, just that instead of being based on the surface it was underwater.
  22. Artanis I
    E. Lucky I still had that tab open. I took a screenshot in case anyone else forgot
  23. Artanis I
    Wow, Overwatch provides Sauron at last
  24. Artanis I
    You are now

    Was a cool idea in the first place, but they're one-trick-ponies for the most part and it's been overdone.
