Omicron Squad Leader

Well, Thornraxx's name isn't even spelt right, so as always, I'd take that with a pinch of salt.

They were removed a few days ago.

Just because two sets from Savage Planet are bugs, doesn't mean we've had a bug theme; that's like saying Breakout is water-themed simply because of Jawblade.

They have to be available in stores somewhere for people to list them on eBay, it's not like Transformers where figures are stolen from factories before they are released... So no.

I don't think you'll get them first this year. Probably late December, with most of Europe.

I'd say a couple, well, for those of you in the US, I'll have to wait until late December here in the UK.

A new... Iron Man head?

Even though that's not going to happen until they're released as we've already got all of the official high-res pictures.

I was checking the 2012 listings on Amazon.fr and noticed that they've been updated with images of the packaging for all 10 sets! Furno Breez Jawblade Splitface Thornraxx Surge We've already seen Evo, Rocka, Toxic Reapa and Black Phantom's, so I haven't included them.

Yeah, in the summer I think there will still be 5 "normal-sized" Heroes, but a titan-sized one too. (Probably not using the "XL" suffix.)

Has anyone seen this before? I can't seem to recall anyone mentioning it.

Winter 2011 introduced two new Heroes, winter 2012 introduces none. I think this is a sign that summer 2012 will be different to summer 2011.

You love to tease us don't you? GIVE ME IT!

*Skull Chopper. I'm not judging by looks; the leaders ride the Rattlecopter, just like Lord Garmadon and the skeleton generals rode the Skull Truck.

I think it will be a summer set. It seems to be the snakeman equivalent to the Skull Motorbike, as the Fangpyre Truck is to the Turbo Shredder and the Rattlecopter is to the Skull Truck.

Cool. Do you know if the small stinging vehicle is a summer set?

As a hard-core Doctor Who fan, I love this.

I got the latest UK LEGO Club Magazine today and saw that on the "next issue" page there was a small picture of "Breakout" Furno in the Hero Factory bubble. This just seemed odd to me as I've never seen LEGO advertise future sets in picture form this early for Bionicle or Hero Factory, preview or not.

Nope, not yet; I think we'll have to wait until they appear on Shop@Home for the rest. I think it's pretty obvious now that Reapa uses a Waspix joint to accommodate two of the 3-long plates on his chest, as well as the bone piece used to attach his head. There is a separate bone underneath to attach the last 3-long. It does look a bit awkward, but I still love Reapa as a whole.

A few new images, some of you may have seen them already: Evo 1 Evo 2 Evo 3 Toxic Reapa 1 Toxic Reapa 2 Toxic Reapa 3 Rocka 1 Rocka 2 Rocka 3 Black Phantom 1 Black Phantom 2 Black Phantom 3 Black Phantom 4

Yeah, because Surge having loads of lime-green doesn't shout: BULK WILL HAVE ORANGE IN SUMMER 2012. Anyway, really good MOC, here's to hoping Bulk's next form will be as good as this.

That would be cool. P.S. Are you going to provide "shaky-cam" footage of the Savage Planet credits? Everyone is eager for it.

So they used the name I "suggested". I don't think they even knew it was sourced from Wikipedia. They probably thought something along the lines of "Say, loads of people on the Message Boards think Rocka's full name is "Daniel Rocka", since we haven't come up with anything yet, let's just make it canon!" P.S. Is anyone going to change Rocka's HS01 page? Or haven't we got enough credibility to do so yet?

All I know is that I was the one who added the name to Wikipedia in the first place, if the credits turn out to be fake, I will be sad, but I doubt they are.

Interesting. Does anyone else think that looks like multiple Drilldozer's in the third picture? I guess we'll have to recapture old villains as well.
