I've just got my first Utapau Troopers and I must say... WOW! These troopers are so awesome I'm speechless! Even the shooting blasters (really powerful, by the way) don't look that bad and removing the transparent studs makes them diaplayable.
-
What's with the strange logo stamped all over the minifig and vehicle? And the "SMS" thing, shouldn't it be in Aurebesh?
-
No, but there is a zip line for Lloyd. Just these three. Hard to tell, the picture I saw was poor quality. The transformation mode is shown in the bottom right corner on the front of the box, but I have no idea how is this thing supposed to transform... I also have no idea if the car has a "battle mode" or turns into something completely different. The 2nd mode sure looks different, though - more like a tank or something. Two nindroids.
-
Shiny high tech cabriolet, no "gritty" steampunk.
-
No, no, no. That's not it. The car I saw was red with fiery stickers and a small black windscreen at the front. Even though the pic was blurry, I can say for sure that the design, despite having a Speed Racer vibe to it, flows perfectly with the rest of the fire-themed vehicles (Kai's bike, jet and mini mech, Nya's Samurai Mech). EDIT: Seems it's not Samurai X, as someone thought, but Kai driving the X-1 Charger. If you're interested in the figures in the Battle for Ninjago City set, it has: Overlord (?), 3 x Nindroid, Lloyd, Zane, Jay and Samurai X (and yes, it's definitely the new updated gear shown in her animation).
-
Very likely, as I remember her holding two katana swords. The nindroids have two small flying... thingies. A jetpack and a speeder if I remember correctly. No more details, I'm afraid - the picture was bad quality - but the set definitely has a Speed Racer vibe to it. I only saw preliminary boxarts for these two sets, no polys.

Uni-Kitty's Enchanted Castle Theme fusion
Corydoras replied to absolutelylez's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Nice build, but... isn't Uni-Kitty a SHE? -
Of course there are Nindroids - at least two of them in Battle for Ninjago City. The red car thingy is also being chased by them.
-
Well... There are agents that look a lot like the ones from the previous Agents series... The villains look like... jet plane pilots. That's all I can say. The pics I saw were very low quality. Oh, did I mention that the large truck looks retarded? The designer of the cabin must have been inspired by Fiat Multipla and an airport tower.
-
More like a typical jet pilot, really. The text beneath the art says: Agents vs Tornado. And its definitely more like the previous Agents' gear, no tuxedos.
-
Well, the boxart for every set has something like this... A picture next to the logo... A generic agent vs something like this: http://information2share.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/wallpaper-686128.jpg

The tripod walker carrying the villain (Overlord?) is part of the dragon temple set, which is called "Battle for Ninjago City". The temple sits atop a rocky structure that has some burps built into it. There's also a nice torii gate (separate structure if I remember correctly) and LBG stairs leading to the main entrance to the temple. I also saw a small tree with red leaves and a mysterious new part the walls are decorated with - pearl gold dishes very reminiscent of space radar pieces, but sporting some kind of a new intricate pattern,,, Oh, and last piece of information I know is gonna make a lot people happy - the set comes with Samurai X! I think she has her old gear from the Snake wave, but what I saw was just prelims so everything can change... The other set I saw is what looks like a red sports car that apparently can transform into... something.
-
Just seen a couple of rather low-quality prelims. It's indeed "Ultra Agents". Nothing too interesting - some weird-looking vehicles, small mechas, jets... Imagine a crossbreed between Chima and Super Heroes and you get a general idea. The only thing that grabbed my attention was a huge truck - not sure if it belongs to the heroes or the villains, though. Colors: I saw lots of black and some lime.
-
Many people apparently don't get the fact that some guns in the SW universe look more steampunkish than others. I think the gun and the helmet are good representation of the source material: http://www.chinese-starwars.com/starwarsepisode3/charactors/othercharactor016.jpg If you want uber-realistic figures and weapons, buy action figures, not LEGO.
-
It could have been great, but the addition of a cockpit ruined the whole design. Too big, too bulky, head doesn't swivel, overloaded with stickers... I'll pass.
-
I just can't understand WHY the vulture droid and the droid gunship have cockpits for pilots? They are autonomous droid units, and in the case of the vulture droid it spoils the design. The main body should be flatter (just plates), not as huge and bulky as it is here.
-
Wow, these pictures are a lot better quality (bigger & brighter) than the ones I've seen. The minifigs look nicely detailed and I'm actually tempted to pick up one of the sets, probably the Flyer or Splitter Beast.
-
Amazing job! I'd certainly buy it.
-
Frankly, I think I'm going to like the figure as it is. It looks cool, no matter how inaccurate it may seem to be.
-
Just to clear thinhs up a bit... The hero figs have proportions roughly like system minifigures and are tiny compared to their machines, they bear no resemblance to Technic figs or something more complex like Mixels.
-
Speak for yourself. I love Imperial Guards, but never had the chance to get any of them.
-
Wait, what? I didn't say much about the Jaw Beast's head, just that the head is purple and weird-looking... Flyer's head is rather small, yellow (with some black markings) and vaguely triangular, so it's probably more bird-like than insect-like. As far as I remember, the creature appears slightly hunched, with its head protruding forward, adding to a nice sinister feel. The Furno Jet Machine is mostly red with some black or DBG. Well, the Stormer minifig with armor I was talking about is included in the Jaw Beast set, but it's safe to assume he looks the same in his mecha set. As for the weapons, I vaguely remember one of the heroes in the SB set holding something like the elemental fire sword blade from 2013 Ninjago wave. The package for the Splitter Beast shows a rather dynamic battle scene suggesting the other hero rides some kind of a small vehicle (a bike?), but I can't say for sure - I don't want to spread false information.
-
I'm not very familiar with HF pieces and the pics were tiny, so I don't really know. The mechas shoot spheres from between these parts: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=64275 I think at least one mech had them in trans green.
-
If I remember correctly, the wings use these Ben10 pieces: http://www.bricklink.com/PL/87846.jpg and some other spikes to create simple, but nice-looking wings.
-
Not much, sadly. I have no idea. Splitter's scythe is a bit undersized for this massive guy (unless he splits into two creatures as I hope) and looks like its blade is made from at least two pieces - but I may be wrong. Flyer Beast reminds me of an upgraded, sleeker 8105 Iron Condor. It even has a cannon on his right arm like the Condor. The red hero mech is like a bulkier 8111 River Dragon (rotors on top). Splitter Beast is like a cross between the Balrog and the Rockbiter (two heads?). The Jaw Beast reminds me of the Cloverfield monster (arms seemingly longer than legs). Speaking of Cloverfield... Anyone remembers the parasites? What if the bug minions are something like this for the giant villains?
