Seems like there's a pretty clear consensus, and I'm feeling better about opening the sets I'm after. Thanks for the input everyone.

The Overlord started following Lucky LEGO finds and Opening MISB old sets

I have a question to level at you all. Is it bad for the community to open old sets? See, I'm personally interested in getting some Exo-Force that I missed at the time/can't rebuild and can't shake the feeling that I'd like them new if possible. The promo art for that line was so unique for Lego and a huge part of the experience. However(especially when it comes to Exo-Force) there's a very limited number of these still in their original packaging and beyond just the innate devaluing, I'd feel a bit bad to effectively "ruin" such an artifact by opening it. My current solution is that I'm considering buying a cheaper copy of the sets I want in used condition to display along with the sealed packages. Although perhaps that's a redundancy? And I'd be lying to say that I want to miss out on the nostalgia of opening the set(s) new. So, what are your takes on this?

Not sure if this would be considered lucky exactly, but it's interesting at the very least. Found this activity book with an exclusive(?) print Lloyd at a dollar store. It's an official Lego product, but I can't seem to find any set number detailed on the polybag. Furthermore it doesn't seem to be carried by any online retailers(minus Bricklink, which has the figure listed under two separate listings for with and without the cowl). Seems like it might be a redundancy to keep sealed when there won't ever be an actual listing for it. Edit: Scratch that, found the listing for it! The price was... Not optimal, but considering how much of limited run this particular figure might be, I bought it anyways. Bricklink listings have it as being fairly cheap but perhaps that will increase after it's out of the dollar stores? Either way, he'll look nice next to my green Kimono Lloyd in the meantime.

Lego Ninjago 2016
The Overlord replied to LegendsOfNinjago's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
I'd count on it at some point. Where there is light, there will always be shadow. Ninjago as an evergreen line... That's a rather bold statement. On the one hand, I don't want it to get stale. On the other, the line is one of Lego's best and I don't exactly look forward to it being cancelled. It's rather likely that they will reboot it for the movie, or at least take a break from the show's canon during the year of the movie's release. -
Lego Ninjago 2016
The Overlord replied to LegendsOfNinjago's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
It really depends more on how the line is presented. "Big Bang" lines are often more action/adventure intensive and span a number of different "themes," like ninjago has. It might be a little brash to chuck it in with historical, even if it is steampunk, seeing as the second year might deviate from its historical theme entirely. As for Ninjago being cut down for BB, I suppose it's plausible. -

The Tiger Widow could very well be the name of a ship. Sounds like it to me. -

Sounds like airships! New dragons too? They're probably the elemental dragons that we've only gotten one of thus far. -
Very nice! I like the shaping of the "canopy," and the additional blades up there give it a sort of Kabuto look(which is perfect for any Ninjago mech, might I add). The weaponry, arms, and lower legs all seem pretty solid too. My only complaint is that the upper legs are kind of awkward and frail looking(at least compared to the lower legs). I would welcome this into my arsenal any day.

This wave is... Expensive, to say the least. I'm thinking that if I want to keep it around $100, Titan Mech and Wu's Dragon are the way to go. I'll get all the ghosts that I can't get with airjitzu and won't have to buy the Bounty(I still have the old one built and taking up shelf space).

Ideas for New Action Themes
The Overlord replied to Perry the Platypus's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
Personally I'd like to see another Orient Expedition. It'd be an adventurers theme(maybe with the same cast as Pharoah's Quest or the original Adventures) that takes the characters from the deserts and jungles of India to the treacherous peaks of The Himalayas to the foggy mountains to the rivers of China. There could always be stone guardians, dragons, yetis and similar regional monsters to be the bad guys. That and perhaps a Sam Sinister type. -
The TV series is the only full blown way to really grasp the story, but it's quite spectacular when it's not having its filler episodes and kiddie moments. On the surface, it's a kid show, but it does have some deep underlying themes; the most prevalent is that of balance. Throughout the story balance is referenced(between good and evil, tradition and technology). It's good stuff.

Last thing I heard about that one is that we're trying to avoid it to protect the leaker's identity. I, for one, don't want anyone to lose their job over it.

I'm kind of just throwing this out there with no evidence to back up this claim, but if this ends up being a reboot, maybe the titan is a GB? It's kind of a stretch, and considering his colors, it's probably Takanuva, but who knows? Regardless, I do hope that we get a GB set! EDIT: Additionally, that mask doesn't look like an Avohkii to me...

That's great! And fresh out of the dark ages too! You must've kept some of your building skill with you, huh!
