  1. For some reason (lack of main door, proper ramparts etc...) I can't see it as a proper castle. more a fortified playground for twisted (lava) kids. (I will still buy it of course...) As a strong 7572 Quest Against Time vibe as well... Studs, pins and carterpillar pieces helped a lot....
  2. Regarding the Axl tower transport. Super design for swooshing, as a kid I would have love it... NB : beside Power Miner's Cave Crusher, it's clearly the child of 2 Galaxy squad sets both with detachable secondary vehicle He took the wheels and the dropable moving "tank turrets" from the vermin vaporizer with the length and foldable launcher from the galactic titan (and we can find him more ancestors in the long list of lego giant space buggy...). Space influencing Castle, who would have guess
  3. Oh yes, thank you. And 3 white with Ultimate Flama. Will use 2 of them as giant Globlin's canines. Love the mini pyramide and that pieces... The lava in the volcano is "Ice planet trans-reddish orange", right ? I believe in wave 1 it was reserved for the good guy except the eye of the Evil Mobile (bad gy having normal tran-orange), but wave 2 it's everywhere...
  4. I am satisfy with the wave. My main complaint would be no hair pieces for the knights. I want to make scenery of them living their normal life...
  5. I feel the wall structure of Jestro base was design by a 14 years old, the top is very weak, not enough brick, 2 ash attackers (I was wrong again...) but the center is nice, and with Lavaria, and the Moltoresque Scurrier (and the big smile rumble blade one if I am correct, happy I pass this set), and the elf impossible to resist, and anyway I will rebuild everything... by the way, so many figs (8) and minions (2) in the set. Super deal compare to the Fortrex in that regard Magmar vehicle is very chima-like... Lance ultimate display super weak, Macy thunder mace bit boring but Aaron jet is gorgeous, very elegant and original, lookwise, imho best set of the 2 waves with the Fortrex (the Mech and Blade not so far). No normal Lance (after the overdose in wave 1), maybe in the exclusive ?
  6. ghost rider hair piece would have been so nice for ultimate Flama... I may get the set jyst for that (and the orange hood, and cape etc...) Ultimate Magmar, so scary, new torso and stuff... now I will have to buy Magmar vehicle AND the 2 ultimates... Blue book with Axl tower, Orange with Magmar, BoM AND green (like the Library ? ) with the volcano base, nice !! I would have pass on the evile mobile if I didn't "knew", lets start a class action !!
  7. Sorry, I didn't get that ? Do you mean Macy thunder Mace ? an other set ? or an other knight ? thank you !!
  8. Books somewhere except volcano ? thank you for the reporting !!
  9. did someone post here this promotional pack open ? https://plus.google.com/photos/photo/115904049505330172230/6243113267131648050?sqid=102077775541074216573&ssid=fbe0f535-230e-44b2-945a-cf46320b4634
  10. In Magmar siege machine - being 45/50$ and having already 3 (desirable) minifigs (Clay, Magmar and Flama) - I don't think there is one or two missing minifigs as assumed in the description (the author was probably still all confused and amazed after much super heroes liberalities...) . A minion at most... I feel it's already one minifigs too much for NK standard
  11. Thank you. It's true I went for a more classical/"realistic" look (I was even considering changing the trans orange chains for grey one's...). I will try to see how it looks with (the new ?) lava boulders, dark red spikes, trans-orange flames rather than yellow-red one... You are right, I went for the look, the "displayability" over the playability. Now I am looking for the correct technic axle and connector, to solidify the jonction between the mask and the silver pipe/tongue.
  12. The minifigs repartition seems strange. 2 ash Attackers ? Flama with Magmar and Ultimate but no Whiparella ? (maybe they somehow miss it in Magmar set ?). It could be wrongly reported or going to change don't you think ? Also the price of Axl Tower is strange. 39,99 for a big vehicle including Axl, two Axl Bots, Burnzie and a Crust Smasher ? Suspeciously better than the 39,99 Evil Mobile... And the dutch site said : 70322 Axl´s torentransport 80,00 euros
  13. thank you ! It comes from : http://brickset.com/sets/44001-1/PYROX
  14. Meanwhile in Poland.... I modified my Chaos Chariot : http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=120341
  15. Hello guys. Yesterday I made my first MOC. I was not happy with the body of the Chaos Chariot. And I don't like Beast Master so much. So I build up one, probably for Magmar or Jestro 2.0. I angled the giant globlins to give a more dynamic and aggressive look. If you bend Jestro even sligthly, the mouths will open. Pity the wheel boulders are too square to turn. Didn't have all the pieces I needed (shape or color wise). Will bricklink them later. Maybe I will try dark red spikes to limit the messiness of the wagon. Maybe lava boulders. I will rework the flames as well. Ideas and critics most welcome !!
  16. Sniff, no more knights, I want the elf book bearer. Few chances it appear in an other set without Jestro... Axl tower will probably have only 3 minifigs... Magmar vehicle probably less... And Whiparella need to go somewhere. My guess: in Aaron crossbow, making the set a must buy. ("Her only personal fear is being called ‘Whimparella’ – which, of course, one of the knights does constantly.") NB : In wave 1 the vilain lieutenants had their own set (Moltor, Beast Master), and the 3 grunts where in good guys sets.
  17. Let us prey it will be super exhaustive descriptions by a guy who know his stuff, like the 20 lines each DC sets got... (and not like the Bionicle or Angry birds "descriptions"...). Names of vilains, presence of book... and (probably too optimistic) the top would be to know wich of the 3 scurriers we get...
  18. maybe 100 pounds 120 $ ?
  19. when someone mentionned 7 figs, it was probably then 4, plus a golem and 2 minions. I was too optimistic... Also Axl ultimate same price as the other. Some where expecting something a bit bigger.
  20. sets are not cheap (as oppose to wave 1). Probably a healthy number of bricks, with good details and design, I am afraid lot of them will be very tempting...
  21. 100 pounds, 120 euros probably. But 4 minifigs plus some minions and Burnzie will work for me, still better than the evil mobile... me too. Like a mix between Ronin Rex and a nerf gun...
  22. I will make a stable for 2 horses in my oversized Fortrex (light blue to fit Robin, with a yellow kitchen with Axl, A dark blue weapons room for Clay, a Red fighting/training place for Macy, a Green living room with videogames for Aaron, a golden and white bathroom/dressing room for Lance, with all my extra lance armors, a library with all the books and Merlok, a pilot room/command center for Ava and a prison cell for sad Jestro. With a dongeon to fit all of that, but still mini as possible. And with the ultimate armor as decoration near the respective color room. Should be finish around november 2023...
  23. Just curious, you have two NK mats right ? Did you try to put one in each side : lava side, good guy side displaying at the same time and connecting in the middle ? (but I understand you will need more space)
  24. Clay blade look really nice "in reality", not only in picture. Well balanced, good look. For the evil mobile, one thing I didn't mention, it's huge. Very imposing. Kind of 70% of a Fortrex.. I think it depends if you want to fit within the existing NK sets or look good. Playability or design ? Vaguely similar shape to a dragon or sleek Ninjago style dragon ? If you choose the first option, for rotors, you may consider for inspiration Lavertus twin blade or Hurricane heist. Or even reactor, exhaust and missile on the wings ? A jet/spaceship with a dragon head and legs... For claws : this, for fangs that ? or a smaller dragon with miniwings ?
  25. My favorite part of the set are the hover horse (superb build, white best color), the book, and the Minifigs. Some people love the golem and the originality of the chariot. I am rather neutral. For the value, IMHO you will got more by picking Infernox or Lava Smasher and Chaos Chariot.
