    Thank you for the review @WhiteFang. I think the Cactus Girl reference is indeed referring to one of the staple enemy in Final Fantasy which is cactuar - I remember seeing this far back in Final Fantasy 6 with the signature pose that Cactus Girl can do as well. I like the series for the accessories and Cactus Girl is definitely my favourite. Btw, "glued together"? Cheeky you.

    I have not seen someone showing off a full set of the TLBM CMF series 2... and our dear @WhiteFang is not showing any signs there will be a review soon. I got a couple of dolphins, mostly the beach related minifigs, Clock King and Dr. Hugo. That's all.

    Don't want to be rude but you don't go looking for #legoleaks here and expect everything given. There. That's your clue. Btw, I really like the the dieselpunk inspiration the next wave is going. From what I can tell, Ninjago story writers and set designers are drawing more mature subject as the theme matures.

    King!

    Aha! Missed the previous round somehow. Glad to see classic alien winning!

    Thanks for the appreciation guys. You pictured this destroyed and wrecked?? That is likely the end-state of this MOC once I decided to dismantle it.

    The look and feel of Season 9 is far more interesting in my opinion. Dragons ✅ Diesel Punk vibe ✅ More playsets ✅ Golden minifigure ✅ Villains in black ✅

    The design was slightly altered but in a good way. I like the cork stopper on the leaked picture. I think it captured the essence of the original fan design and it looks amazing. The Ship in a Bottle is one of those sets that I will just build once and then display because it looks great on display anyway!

    Yeah I saw that golden minifigure and it looks impressive even though the image is very blurry.

    I practically voted for all the losers... so far.
  12. makoy
    2 animal suits in this round... of course I voted both

    I see why we have not seen an official image of 75201 FO AT-ST.. Because it is SPOILER. I will not even talk about it.
  14. makoy
    Not much love for space minifigs? I'm the first one who voted Retro Spaceman and Intergalactic Girl
  15. makoy
    I have exact opposite of your reaction. I was very excited because we are finally getting an official Wuher minifigure and the speeder is not just random speeder that you didn't see. You see it lazy and dumbed down maybe because you already owned something similar and spending more on this set does not serve any purpose to you -- this is okay, but do not dismiss that there are people who does not buy every single Star Wars set and pick only the kind that fits their taste. This set fits my taste and I will buy it. I built my own Cantina MOC and I still look forward to this set. Cheers!

    I enjoyed it a lot also. I feel exhausted from the movie, but in a good way. Need to watch again.

    I love to get these advent calendars!

    @turk187 it is in my Flickr album but I realised that I posted it in 2018 forum, not in my review: If there's any take away from this --- is that there is a consensus among LEGO set reviewers that LID's head is horrendous. I hope that TLG take this feedback sincerely so they will not overlook the issue again. @Oederland Ok, I get what you mean now. There's definitely going to be some variation in colour shading. I think it is just more pronounced on darker shade of plastic when lighter ink is applied on them (e.g. LID's minifig head case). The issue can be controlled because there are many cases that it could have been worse, but the final result is actually acceptable. The issue with the Sushi chef is that the yellow ink for bald head is brighter in my copy... at least the yellow ink is consistent with the yellow ink on the torso "skin" colour. For economical reason, it is cheaper to use ink so I understand why it looks that way. I don't believe the production use colorimeter to measure the variation of the colour shades so, at least in my standards, this kind of colour variation is fine.

    I feel that if they add more cyberpunk feel to it, it will be Rebooted all over again.. but in a way, it's feels like a reboot due to the new faces. That being said, the torso of the bikers looks very contemporary and has that cyberpunk-esque look. Even if I don't like much the villains, the masks kinda make up for it.

    It already put me off but it is not the only thing that dictated my final verdict. If you see one of the images in my review, what you wrote down is exactly what I did. I swapped the head of the CMF Misako with LID's head, and moved on. I also think it's better that way. However, If TLG wish to adhere with their claimed quality standards, then the issue with the light ink on black minifigure needs to be addressed.

    Hi Oederland, thanks for dropping by and adding your thoughts into my review. I have several Sushi chef and I have several variants of Sensei Wu from TLNM but I have not seen those issues you mentioned? Maybe you had a bad batch or something? There are some variation in production and this could be the issue with yours. Anyway, I do agree that red is eye-catching. In marketing they use the red colour to catch your attention for sales. All the sales promo tags are in red, right? That elicits urgency and excitement. It works for adults so it's likely going to work the same way with kids to annoy their parents into buying Ninjago sets where Kai is in it.

    So I wasn't the only one thinking it looks like Dareth!
  23. makoy
    Apparently, as more people get their hands on this set and more people complain about, the more that I feel it's a bigger oversight than I initially thought. Apart from that, as with my verdict, it is really a great little set.

    Your coin was rigged! I voted Rogue.

    To me it like this: 2016 Wave: 6/10 2017 Wave: 5/10 2018 Wave: 7/10 I like the black and trans-green colours in the latest wave.... but it doesn't mean I really like the sets.
