Welcome!

Yeah, I remember when that happened. Exciting times.

I swear, sets with Aaron in them always come through. Another (another?) definite buy for me. That's quite a unique golem as well.

I saw Fantastic Beasts on Friday, I have mixed feelings about it. I liked it overall as a movie but there was very little context given for certain events in the movie, and there were too many subplots going on about halfway through the movie. The main issue I have with it is that the ending seemed very final and the movie could have worked as a standalone. However, Rowling has said that there are going to be not one, not two, but four sequels. If that's truly the case, then this movie did not leave enough plotlines open for future films.

Welcome! Nice avatar.

Looks great. The foliage is well done, especially in the second build.

Your new builds look great! I like the usage of the UFO headgear on the Bolter.

Welcome!

Do all of these Ninjago and NK figures surfacing mean that they could both be coming out in January? Last year I don't remember any Skybound figures floating around this early.

Welcome!

I read it on Classic-Castle a few months ago while digging through posts that were over a decade old. Several people referenced a rumored Gargoyle army due for release in 2006 or 2007, but it appears the last wave of KK2 replaced it. I figure that the line was only going to be extended if it was selling well, which might me why the 2006 wave was small and appeared to be hastily made.

@Vorkosigan I stand corrected. I feel like the Lava Monsters were a great faction but they were based on a tired concept that Lego has been using for years. These new guys are an interesting stone-lightning hybrid, with living vehicles mixed in for good measure. They even include some gargoyles, a concept that Lego has never put into a Castle theme until now, save for the reportedly cancelled 2007 KK2 sets which would have included Malakee and his gargoyle army. I also don't mind the color scheme because it sets these new monsters apart from anything Lego has done before. You wouldn't want just gray, would you?

Quoting the images so people on this page can see them. These look outstanding, especially Jestro's face I think it's without question that the Lightning Monsters are a huge step up from the Lava Monsters.

Perhaps neither. The Batman Movie is getting a huge January release so it's possible that either NK or Ninjago gets moved to March.

Thanks Hopefully we get a Knight's Academy set one day, and it's interesting that Lance has a sister that we somehow didn't see in the first two seasons. Rogul looks amazing as always.

Link isn't working for me

Expect a long wait for summer set lists / news...... CM4Sci is banned I didn't see anything ban-worthy in his recent posts but I have no ground to stand on in this so I won't comment on it. He always seemed like a cool dude to me. Cool stuff. Hopefully those powers aren't retreads of old ones and with only nine pieces these packs shouldn't be more than a couple bucks each. If you look closely at the monsters you can see several guys with Ash Attacker helmets, none of which have appeared in a set so far. I expect at least one in Aaron's exclusive set. Regarding the summer wave, does anyone think that it will just be about 4-5 more Lightning themed sets in order to make way for the Ninjago movie?

Elves is definitely getting better and better. I like this wave, especially the airship. Huge improvement over the Ninjago one.

Welcome to the boards!

The Y-Wing looks great. The stormie is a little out of place, however, and I would have liked another rebel instead. Bunker Battle is meh. Great fig selection but the actually build is just a landing pad and a doorway to nothing. I like the Y-Wing microfighter but the other are all misses to me, ie. the generic fig in Krennic's shuttle and the U-Wing just doesn't look good in micro form. The battle packs are both instabuys. The walker in the imperial one is pretty cool, but obviously I'm going to buy it for the Death Troopers. The rebel pack is outstanding both in terms of builds and figures (Those helmets ) Can't wait to see the OT sets!

Welcome! I love your MOC, what piece did you use for the tree trunk?

The ship looks great. The hot air balloons on the sides are a nice touch.

Welcome Winston!
