  1. My guess is that they will still have plenty of stock, as they likely made much more than they needed.
  2. I figured that was common knowledge already. Excited that the Fishing Store made it through, though I didn't expect it to. There were other submissions I thought were much more likely.
  3. No. But I would be excited to see a GI Joe licensed theme.
  4. Absolutely. I'm sure that LEGO charges a premium compared to other products. I am also sure that their business is much better, in terms of customer service and other behind the scenes support. I am also impressed with the number of minifigures. And I definitely agree that the typical child is much more interested in the core characters, which is why we see them over and over. It would be nice, however, if they made some serious improvements to those characters to bring them up to date. That said, I'd love to see a Willrow Hood minifigure. That one would actually be cost effective, it wouldn't require new parts or printing that would be too complex, and he could come in a set that includes other core characters (maybe new versions of them). I completely agree. I can understand that LEGO is going to put a serious effort into making the LEGO Batman Movie sets the best they can be, since it is a huge proprietary theme, but to do so without making the same effort for one of their biggest selling themes seems like a huge oversight. I am hoping Star Wars is on the schedule for this level of detail in the near future.
  5. I'd love to see it... in chrome. I'd also love to see a set with Bespin Luke, Bespin Lando, and Willrow Hood.
  6. Those questions would tell how many people liked it up front, and how many like it now. I'd be curious to get further details, like the following: Has your opinion of Nexo Knights improved since the beginning? Has your opinion of Nexo Knights diminished since the beginning? Has your opinion of Nexo Knights stayed the same since the beginning? It might be worth waiting until the new winter wave for 2017 has officially been announced before doing the poll. Another good question could be about the idea that LEGO sees Nexo Knights as a Castle theme (despite the opposing perception of much of the fan base). Like this: Does Nexo Knights make a good Castle theme? Or Does Nexo Knights satisfy the expectations and desires of Castle fans? Or Is Nexo Knights satisfactory as a Castle theme? Something along those lines.
  7. I actually love the Ewoks, but I do understand why some people are frustrated by how easily they defeat the ground forces on the forest moon. Then again, I was only 2 when Return of the Jedi was released, and the main complaint about the Ewoks was that they were put in to appeal to children. I was about 4 when the Ewoks animated series originally aired, and I loved that show when I was a kid. I am also partial to furry creatures in general, though (Ewoks, Wookiees, Wampas, etc). Hard to tell if that's cause or effect in this case. That said, I despised a lot of similar things from the prequels, and I'm sure there are children out there that ate it up like I did the Ewoks. Other things, I agree with. Hayden should not have been in the movie, and Boba Fett died too easily. Anyways, the last movie I watched was called Spring Breakdown. It starred Amy Poehler, Rachel Dratch, Jane Lynch, and Parkey Posey (I'm a big fan of hers). Sophie Monk is also in this movie, which improves the viewing experience. The movie was a letdown, overall, but had its moments.
  8. And I'm sure plenty of Nexo Knights fans would come upon this poll as well, so it wouldn't be too biased.
  9. What a classic video.
  10. You know those little kids that are scared and cry when taken to sit on Santa's lap? That's what this reminds me of.
  11. I'll agree to the poll location bias. I'd like to see one here. I guess I just want to see one where it is more likely that my own opinions will be validated.
  12. Yoda's Hut is a good request. I'll also say a Tusken Attack (with female Tuskens, child Tuskens, and a Bantha).
  13. Disagree, wholeheartedly. Anyways, today I watched Little City. Yes, this movie has Bon Jovi in it. And it wasn't really bad, which I expected because it has Bon Jovi in it.
  14. I watched Overnight Delivery with Paul Rudd and Reese Witherspoon. It was pretty funny.
  15. It was said that there are 2 in the winter wave and 2 in the summer.
  16. I watched Slap Shot last night. It was really funny. It was also longer than I expected it to be.
  17. Looks like he's in the biggest set, and the theory is that this will be a new version.
  18. Theoretically, there will be battle packs in the summer wave next year. Maybe we will get them then.
  19. In that case, they definitely should have included the strap on her leg.
  20. Is that the same as the outfit with the poncho?
  21. I'm pretty sure that the entire minifigure is enclosed in the torso of the mech suit.
  22. Do you have a picture of her in this outfit from the movie (or promotional images)? I haven't seen one yet, so I'm not sure how accurate it is.
  23. I doubt the prices would have to increase too much, if at all. And it would be worth a small increase to have the best possible representations of the characters, rather then retreads and backsteps that are not up to par. There are certainly a lot of nice new molds, and plenty of old ones that could do with better colors and printing. I'll agree, though, that the dual molding and limb printing are the main things we are missing, and often on main characters.
