Well I don't want to sound fussy, but this doesn't answer the question in any way.

"Fan" is a contraption word for "Fanatic". Fanatic and zealot are nearly synonims. A "FAN" (AFOL) shouldn't buy megabloks or chinese clones imho, there are differences to be a LEGO enthusiastic (which buys also other stuff) and an AFOL. Of course these are just my 2p, I think the ones buying third party are AFOCT (Adult fan of construction toys) then it's obvious they have more LEGO than Megabloks or other brands just because LEGO are more spreaded, more known, they have the best licenses and so on.

This is exactly what I was saying I find totally wrong because it's violating IP. One should question himself: am I a LEGO Fan? am I a MINIFIGURE Fan? Because I believe that if you like to buy bootlegs or third parties, you are not a LEGO fan. You are a MINIFIGURE fan. Which is very very different.

I thank you a lot fred67 this was exactly what I wanted to hear as a "polite debate" over a topic which is often so 'dangerous'.

PLEASE DO NOT MERGE WITH THE TOPIC ABOUT WORTH/NOT WORTH, THANKS :) I REALLY BELIEVE THIS TOPIC ADDRESSED A TOTALLY DIFFERENT ASPECT :) Hello, I don't want to start a flame, I would like to have educated and polite opinions about a discussion that started on another group. I would like to have a civil and moderate confrontation here. So I please please please ask everybody to renounce posting their answer if it is aggressive. Now the question. Premise: I see the phenomena of chinese third party minifigures spreading very fastly. I see a lot of people buying the replica of Marvel and DC minifigures and even the replica of CMF series 1. Question: Considering that these third party do not pay any royalties, credits, or homages to neither LEGO or MARVEL/DC/whatever, don't you feel that it is ethically wrong to buy such minifigures? Considerations: If I am a fan of Marvel, I like to endorse that company by actively giving my money via purchasing their products. If I am a Marvel fan I don't sneak in the cinema during The Avengers. I do pay my ticket. These third parties not only don't pay anything to LEGO, but they don't even pay anything to the company who owns the rights for reproducing that particoular minifigure. It's not a matther that "Lego doesn't produce that minifigure so I buy it chinese" or "Lego Deadpool is too expensive so I buy it chinese" because the fact that a specific minifigure doesn't exist or is too expensive doesn't make the matther more or less ethically wrong. Still it stays wrong. Please discuss. Thanks. It's important to me to have educated point of views to understand better this topic. :)

This I've been repeating this for years... still I can't help asking myself why some people fail to understand such an obvious fact.

Now one should look over whoever put Shark Costume Guy or fish costume guy or whatever... he probably knows something I believe.

Yes don't mind it. I was wrong.

I'll bring some hope by disagreeing here. In Alpha Team the characters had very similar colours, so maybe the 5 knights have a different uniform with the same colour pattern, or even a very similar uniform and then changing the weapons and hairs/headgear. That could be possible and would be WAY better.

That's "Paparazzi"

I am quite sure that somebody different from him reported that Jestro is a cyber-jester. There are lava monsters. But I may remember in a bad way.

This whole, really, was epic. One of the best things I've read on whatsoever forum in years.

Nexo Knights Episode V: Nekchir strikes back. With another nickname and another IP. This could be horrible. Expecially if he says to be my father in the final scenes.

Ok ban the guy, and proceed to discuss the theme. Now we have to make some step back...

I'm really surprised to have a forum moderator insulting people this way...

However... blablablabla 5 years here, people know me.

Yep, these three are my choice too, just2good is the best IMHO.

PMS!

Thanks this was really appreciated Speaking of which I would ask about the rock/lava monsters. Are them normal minifigures' Are them big minifigures like Hulk Mungus or the Wampa? Are them monsters like the Rock Monsters of Power Miners?

I have myself asked a moderator to watch this topic. So please stop this discussion NOW, since I'm getting really annoyed by all these strawman arguments.

What??!??! You are joking, I hope.

I am surprised how I can be target of such strawman arguments. I never told that there weren't female knights or pirates, but that was "as if". As much as we didn't have black people as knights. History went this way. Whether we like it or not. 68 female knights over zillions of male knights do only confirm what I was saying. That if LEGO wanted to introduce a girl knight, if historically, they should have released hundreds of male kinghits before releasing a female one. Same for pirates. Instead, why ONE out of FOUR? If we like gender equity, and we usually have more women in the world, out of four knights we should have had 2 or 3 women. My argument is the same of making, in the new movie of the fantastic four, the human torch as a black guy. Why? It always have been a blonde white man. This is reverse racism. Which is indeed racism. And what I was talking is reverse sexism. (Mostly like the all-female ghostbusters). I am only displeased when something is being changed for a reason that is the opposite of what is meant. By the way if you want to continue on your argument, I'm over with it. I was told that I cannot be entitled to have an opinion and this is ridicolous in my way of viewing the world. So I will chit-chat about LEGO and no more about what I like or dislike, since I see that some people have unappropriate reactions when someone just express his flavours.

Yep I just said that, in my personal humble opinion, I hope that they are all males. And that, and this is not arguable, female knights are less historical, as there weren't such in the middle age. (1 every 100000 doesn't count as I'ave already explained, as this NK Female Knight would be 1 out of 4, not 1 out of 100000). I think that forcing a gender into a role that did not appear is sexist. As much as I found sexist to forcefully include female pirates, I do think it's sexist to forcefully include female knights. I didn't want to start a fight, but I think I have totally my rights to be less or more disappointed from TLG's choices. After all there were also feminists disappointed over Friends' theme (still asking myself why) or Disney Princesses (please...) Just my 2 cents.

Cherry picking. I can say that there sheeps are white, as they normally are. One black over thousands doesn't change the matter. Thanks.
