LEGO Star Wars 2016 Pictures and Rumors
benderisgreat replied to Brickdoctor's topic in LEGO Star Wars
This premise doesn't interest me at all. But minifigs definitely look cool, just not cool enough to make me buy these sets, especially since they will probably include TFA tax( overpriced). -
Why is everyone calling one of sea monster Black Knight when Robin is a Black Knight in the show? Hope we'll get him in Black Knight form as a minifigure.

Very unique and stylish Mad Max esque vehicle. The best part is Gammorean being used as bait for Rancor. Great job!

This thread got derailed fast! Guys can we stop discussing TCW show, which character was created for which demographic and talk about 2016 sets? -
These monsters look amazing, they kinda give us idea what to expect in coming waves of sets. Plant monsters look the best in my opinion. And Monstrox looks like a volcano! Hmm, maybe he has something to do with Jestro Volcano Base?

LEGO Star Wars 2016 Pictures and Rumors

So 50$ Encounter on Jakku rumor was debunked in a minutes. 80$ is ridiculous price for that set! It probably has 400-500 pieces, so 50$ would have been a fair price. At 50$ I would definitely buy it but at 80, no way. When Vader Tie costs 100$ I'd rather buy set where I get more value, and at 80$ Encounter on Jakku isn't a good value. Seems Disney has created TFA tax for every new ep 7 set. Well at least OT, PT and Rebels set seem to be fairly priced. -

I wouldn't expect new mold. I mean they didn't even made new mold for Ezra's saber and used binoculars piece for some reason. If anyone needed new hilt mold it's Ezra. So I guess Ahsoka will use Ventress's hilts. -

all I said is that A-wing isn't that beloved ship as X-wing is. So it wouldn't make sense for Lego to release 2 of them in the same wave. -

If Ahsoka is really the main draw of the set, then it's highly unlikely this set is a cheap 20-30$ one. Also on a point of another A-wing this ships aren't anywhere close to being as iconic as X-wing. So I can't seen us getting 2 A-wings in one wave, at all! The only scene I can imagine represented in a set is Ahsoka's duel with Seventh Sister in one of the episodes, so the build is probably going to be space port entrance or something like that. As far as minifigs go if this set is 50-60$ I imagine we'll see minifigs of Ahsoka, Seventh Sister, Zeb, Chopper and a Stormtrooper. Including this line of characters makes most sense, but who knows what Lego decides to put in this set? -

So does anyone know if we'll get another Zeb in retail exclusive set with Ahsoka? He was only ever released in Ghost set and is the only minifigure still exclusive to that set. We already got 2 Kanans, 1 Hera in other sets . I was really surprised that Zeb isn't included in Captains Rex At-Te set since Zeb was important part of that episode in the show. So I hope he's in that exclusive set. -

Rebels ship at 70€ is probably retail exclusive with Ahsoka and Seventh Sister as villain of the set. As for the build itself - a rebels Blockade Runner? And isn't 80-100€ villain set Vaders TIE vs A-WING? -

I mean what is better for Lego from financial standpoint : to release Luke in free polybag or put him in what will probably be one of the more expensive Ep 8 sets like they did with Han in TFA sets? I think may 4th promo Luke is very unlikely. -

Yeah, I don't think Lego will put such a desirable minifigure in free polybag. More likely he will appear in ep 8 sets, so in a bit more than a year. -
Marvel Superheroes 2016 Rumors And Discussion
benderisgreat replied to Quicksilver's topic in LEGO Licensed
I am super happy that they aren't overusing stud shooters in Superheroes line, like they do in SW. I'd rather have this older style guns and Alien Conquest guns than stud shooters. Also I will have to replace War Machine's stud shooter with a black lightsaber to make him look like previous War Machine. -

So we will get 5 Rogue One sets after all. Sets size also vary and a few mid sized sets. So all I need right now is to watch trailer and get some info about story to decide if I am even going to concider buying these sets. -

New War Machine and Scarlet Witch are all the reasons I need to buy that Airport Battle set! The build is meh, but minifigs are worth this 80$ price point. It's a shame there's no standout CW set, unlike AoU line that had Hulkbuster Smash. -

While some people on this forum suggested that Finn polybag was a hint that new game will be coming, I thought they just don't have enough material for a 60$ game, since their previous games we based on Trilogies. I'm still concerned by the fact that they decided to rush the game , since it's based just on one movie, not 3 like before! Unless they also include SW The Complete Saga in as well, I am concerned the game won't have enough content. Other than that I am excited about this game. -
Marvel Superheroes 2016 Rumors And Discussion

Ok I've seen it now. Why would they give War Machine Cyborgs face when he had his own face that was spot on Don Cheadle? And what's the point of making black eye Tony Stark face for a free promo minifigure if they weren't planning on using it in CW sets? -

Yeah but it's done for comedic purpose . He usually has normal eyes, so I hope his other face looks better. -
Marvel Superheroes 2016 Rumors And Discussion
benderisgreat replied to Quicksilver's topic in LEGO Licensed
Finally pictures of marvel minifigs revealed! All Spiderman villains from summer wave look cool: Kraven, Scorpion, Vulture. Hobgoblin looks nice too but what's with his face expression? Hope he has double sided head with normal eyes, other than that he looks great! And Green Goblin is on another level of awesomeness! I mean side arm printing, double molded legs and menacing face? He just can't get any better! As for CW minifigs Scarlet Witch has nice cloth piece, and accurate hair this time around, War Machine looks great. Black Panther though totally needs some leg printing , other than that he is almost perfect. Iron Man mk 46 has nice new torso , but reuses legs from mk 43, not a fan of this rehash, since Lego has just made 3 great Iron Man minifigs( Space, Scuba, Silver Centurion). -
Marvel Superheroes 2016 Rumors And Discussion
benderisgreat replied to Quicksilver's topic in LEGO Licensed
Silver Centurion is definitely the best Superhero minifig we've ever gotten! I mean side arm and leg printing, and more importantly Civil War accurate black eye Tony face! I mean it's a new golden standard for Superheroes line, which makes me wonder why Lego almost never makes such detailed minifigs? Also why is everyone saying CW Tony won't have new black eye face? -

So Encounter on Jakku is 80$? Just like I predicted back when prices for January TFA were announced, they jack up prices for sets based on TFA sets, and this set was seriously jacked if piece count is around 400-500 pcs like people here are saying. Tie Advanced vs A-Wing is priced at 100$ after all like it was predicted a long time ago, so even if pcs count is around 800 ( which I doubt), more like 600, 4 minifigs in 100$ set? At least make it 6 if it's 100$! I am still going to buy it, but 100$ is horrible price! As far as AT-TE being 130$ I am okay with it since last version was 120$ I think, but then again 4-5 minifigs in this set is a ripoff! Could have included Zeb( since he only appeared in set once), Kanan and Ezra all of these characters appear in this episodes. So yeah after pretty good January wave, summer has some good sets, but they are seriously overpriced! -

Wow Tie Advanced is day one buy for me! It looks great with updated windscreen and minifigs are fantastic! Also rumors of Vaders helmet having Rebels redesign were false , he looks exactly like he did in 2015 version.Sabine's outfit is updated season from season 2, new hair looks awesome! But no helmet? Boo Lego , why do you have to make your loyal customers to buy another set just to get her helmet? Jakku set looks cool especially market part, but why is Luggabeast bright blue? And At-Te looks much better than earlier descriptions lead to believe! It even looks a lot like it did in Rebels, giant hooks and rugged look includesd. And inquisitor includes is indeed Fifth Brother. So 2 sets I am definitely buying are Tie Advanced vs A-Wing, and Encounter on Jakku, and I liked AT-TE so much that I now consider buying it, depending on a price. Overall there are some pretty good sets the wave. -
Lego Ninjago 2016
benderisgreat replied to LegendsOfNinjago's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
Am I the only one who doesn't like new summer wave ninja outfits? I mean they are terrible, especially Zanes with titanium colored arms instead of white . I loved last 4 versions of ninjas outfits( Tournament, Zukin, Deepstone and Skybound)! But this outfits look like a cheap rehash, after 2 years of good looking costumes ninja get this? And this ties to overall theme of summer sets( except for Skybound leftovers) they kinda suck in my opinion. I got in Ninjago because I like Tournament of Elements wave, then Possession wave was even better, and now Skybound is awesome as well! I don't like what new theme looks like as of now, maybe with next season of show it'll grow on me, but I doubt it. On a unrelated note Lighthouse set looks awesome! -
Axl's Tower looks interesting to say the least. I definitely expected it to be different , more like Magmars Siege tower honestly. But I like it, cheaper way to get Axl, and it also includes Burnzie! I wonder if it's possible to make him pull Jestro's Evil mobile, since in the show its pulled by both him and Sparx. Also is it just me or does Burnzie looks bigger than Sparx? BTW what about red and black version of Jestro that was rumored for his castle set? So was it false, or they just used existing Jestro as a placeholder?
