  1. I would hope they would update the castle, and that would include the color. Yellow details would likely remain. I'm certainly not wishing for Nexo sets. I'm wishing for Castle sets.
  2. Yeah, that Lance is even better. I really would love to have that minifigure.
  3. that
  4. The Rogue could very well be an army builder for me. We'll have to see how it turns out to be sure, though.
  5. That version of Lance looks really cool.
  6. There is a difference between collectors, traders, and investors. I have no problem with collectors, end users with large collections. I have no problem with most traders, who sell things at a reasonable market value. It's the investors that irk me, often because they exemplify the greed in capitalism to an extreme, milking others for every cent to maximize their profits. But that's the way it is, and that will never change. "Collectors" (actually investors) getting upset about the value of their sets dropping don't bother me. I feel that this is the nature of investing in any market. Some things increase value, while others fall, and they are always in motion. But I do understand that many irate investors suddenly deciding that LEGO is not a good investment can hurt the business that LEGO does. I still think that LEGO and their end users are better off with small purchase limits in place, This helps to ensure that some investor isn't able to buy out the entire stock, leaving some available for the end users at retail.
  7. I believe that the first exemplifies greed. I also feel that those who charge a ridiculous markup for pieces and sets are taking advantage of and exploiting their fellow man. I feel that this is demonstrative of a lack of compassion for others. I see all of these things as negative. I don't think that this is any better or worse than buying and not selling (hoarding?). Maybe a little better, since the sets and pieces are making it to an end user, but they are doing so in a way that extorts others. Much of the blame could be placed on the companies, who fail to produce in a sufficient quantity.
  8. I could certainly agree with that assessment.
  9. , reminding
  10. I get what you're saying, but at least in the promo image it seems that the collars are a reflection of their character. It could just be reading into the image itself, but one character seems more straight laced and has the collar completely buttoned. Another character looks like a loose cannon and has the collar open. So there may be merit to the collars tying specifically to the characters. Then again, we have no real way to know, and will have to wait for the movie. I'm not sure I'll see it until it is on Netflix, personally. Still, I think it may be at least slightly more important than a wrinkle. Also, I am sort of playing Devil's Advocate here. I honestly don't care about the collars myself. But if some do, then let them.
  11. I doubt it. We also got the Faun and Winged Warrior in series 15, and the Goblin in series 12. I'd also count minifigures like the Battle Goddess, Hun, Swashbuckler, Egyptian, and Samurai, although those are more Historical and not specifically Medieval. Still, I feel like we've been spoiled lately, and I don't expect another medieval minifigure. I would really love to be wrong, though!
  12. As far as sales, there's no way to know. I see plenty of them on shelves when I am shopping for LEGO, but they might also have huge inventories.
  13. That would be awesome. Of course, a Chrome Phasma is what we should have gotten in the first place, so I'd be very excited for that. But Luke really should be available as well. Either one would make me happy.
  14. Yes, that one would work perfectly.
  15. It may indeed be a peasant, but I'm still hoping it's a rogue. Even a peasant would be nice, though.
  16. I don't know why. They've produced very dark minifigures in the past. Anyways, the skin looks to be sand blue on the Chef's arms.
  17. Cthulhu would be cool to see. I'm not saying I don't like the idea of ocean dwelling dark elf pirate knight monsters, I'm just saying I'm more fond of dark knights and dark elves in general. What you're suggesting actually does sound like a pretty cool idea.
  18. I think that's the nature of Nexo Knights. Are the heroes Castle or Space? Are the Lava villains solid or liquid? As for these sticker book guys, they could be Black Knight Pirate Dark Elf Sea Monsters. Kind of an interesting concept, actually, but I'd still prefer awesome black knights or dark elves.
  19. I wouldn't say that it's "massively important." People have noticed that it's a detail that looks wrong. That's all. You've made your point, and those upset about the collars have made theirs. Let's all move on. I do agree, this looks to be a very nice set. I still think the Daemon looks ridiculous, but that's my opinion. I probably won't buy it, but I'm happy that there is such a set for those that are into the Ghostbusters reboot, and it's interesting to see this kind of progress in design.
  20. Alright, rogues. Can't wait to see how it will be interpreted as LEGO! It sounds like it could really fit in as a Wolfpack revamp, which would be an amazing army building figure for me. Maybe a minifigure version of this guy: Either way, sounds good!
  21. Thank you, but now all I'm getting is Rogue One links!
  22. I could probably come up with something, but I would greatly prefer dark knights.
  23. You guys mentioned Google as a source. What are the search terms you're putting in? I've tried searching for variations of LEGO minifigure series 16 2016, and I haven't seen anything. If you won't tell us that, can you tell us the colors? He said no instrument, not no accessory. So there could be an accessory. If there is one, what is it?
  24. skins
