    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.

    Brasso is a metal polish you can use to easily remove paint from minifigs.

    I don't think people had a problem with the Black Manta set by itself, it was more of people being disappointed that the only new character was Black Manta, and the set was Batman-focused instead of Aquaman. Also the price, given those factors.

    Wonder if they're going to chrome a minifig for Gwendoline Christie's character.

    Here in the US I've noticed Pirates selling pretty well in my local stores. My local TRU has definitely sold through dozens of the $20 sets. Treasure Island was difficult to find locally for a couple of weeks. Not sure they've sold any Brick Bounties, as they are charging $10 over MSRP.

    You know, if LEGO's LOTR/Hobbit license is ending, it stands to reason the other companies licenses are ending too. So it's possible LEGO, if it were so inclined, could pick up a new license allowing them to do single figures and battlepacks. Not holding my breath etc.

    Where do you live in Virginia?

    I think this goes unremarked in a lot of the price debate. In the UK the Helicarrier is £270 including VAT, which translates to $402 USD. The Helicarrier is $350 in the US, but before sales tax. The sales tax in the US can be as much as 10% added onto the price, so add in another $35 for a total of $385. Now that's only a $17(£11) difference, which is more than accounted for by the difference between VAT and the US sales tax(if the US had a sales tax as high as VAT, which IIRC is 20%, that set would cost $420 total or £282).

    I don't know why that is, other than the afore-mentioned budget cuts, but I've been using the bluecoats with the printed shakos as sergeants and my B&P bluecoats with their unprinted shakos as the grunts.

    I just checked and I did get 1x points from my most recent Bricks and Pieces order added to my account today.

    I feel TLG has been coasting with some of their licensed lines like JW and Avengers: Age of Ultron. Due respect to the designers but they builds just aren't interesting IMO.
