Love the new parts, though I'd have liked them in tan/dark tan like the renders showed. Feel the details would pop more, they disappear a bit in black and brown. Planning on ordering a few of the available colors anyway. Speaking of colors, would really love a steel colored Steampunk Helm.

I'm guessing it's this, based upon the classic-style head of the female minifig:

Or perhaps it's because it's the newest modular, so being next to the last two only makes logical sense...

Wow, has he posted his reaction to this line?

I don't think this is a Castle theme as far as TLG is concerned. When LEGO puts these up at Shop@Home I very much doubt it will be under the Castle listing, but probably it's own. Though it would be interesting if that weren't the case!

Looks more like a dragon to me.

Jestro's bottom left of the artwork(cover).

Honestly just based on the color scheme this should lead to lots of nice new Ice Planet MOCs...

I like the minifigs, I like the Mecha Horse, I like the castle-tank(so far, need to see an actual photo and not the drawing). Other sets are so-so. Love the colors of the hero faction. The little knight droids are cute. Resurgence of Trans Neon Orange is a big plus for me.

Saw the pic elsewhere. Really really like it. Not for everyone but it appeals to me a great deal. Much more than Ninjago(which I like alright). I think I'm in for that castle and maybe the robo horse(which I haven't seen but sounds intriguing). Also it's more Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light(google it) than Masters of the Universe IMO. The villain Jestro looks like a human/minifig version of Quackerjack from Darkwing Duck.

Would love LOTR-inspired items. One thing I would like to see is more items to plug onto the back of the armors that have a stud... the quiver is cool but it's not going to be very useful to a person with full armor on. Maybe like an unremovable sheathed sword, or in fact a working sheath in which to put a sword.

That's how I'd like to go.

Vision is very much worth it, Baron von Strucker is not(unless you want to make a comic version). Vision is in maybe a quarter to a third of the movie and plays an important part in the plot, Strucker is in the first act and factors into a couple of plot points but ultimately is not a major factor.

Inexplicable reference to Batman Returns?

We can always bicker about which threads different topics of discussion belong in.
