Agent Kallus

From what I could see quotes from the report and summary seemed to say otherwise. I'm probably being overly optimistic but it still seems to be in the top five, ahead of both star wars and superheroes and I doubt it will cancel those anytime soon..

Thanks, that's good to know, it didn't appear on my online basket but I guess if its on till the 3rd of May then I can wait for that to work.

When does the Zane promo go live in the UK?

Eh. It sounded like crabby to me , which makes a lot more sense and spinjistu is a powerful and threatening tactic hence the cowering. I mean haven't we seen his corpse in his tomb ,why would he become a crab in a jungle?! Well now we know that they wanted Wu because of his oni blood, they'd use him to retrieve the mask of hatred.

luckily for me I already have seen the latest episodes that but not everyone has so could you put it into spoiler tags.

@Wardancer I couldn't find a good picture of it alone but it is in the brickset inventory and it is shown as part of an assembly.

The first order riot shield is coming in dark red with the large hulkbuster set, its a nice shield piece and I think that this recolour will make it more usable.

What do you mean?

So this was said in the star wars main thread. I was looking forward to that AT-RT

Not one of my favourites but a deserving winner none the less.

That wouldn't make much sense to me as they'd just got the movie to reel in new viewers and ninjago set continue to preform exceptionally year after year, I may be a wee bit biased though.

Ninjago has been one of their most popular home grown themes for almost a decade but they know if they did one of the ninja they'd eventually have to do the others, plus they'd have to pick which suit. I may be wrong but I think there's another one behind the minifig, looks to be in red.

This looks really nice, the mircofig (nanofig?, pecafig?) closest to the left seems to be Pixal. The others are a classic spaceman, a police officer and I can't make out the other 2, but I hope the one is a pirate, ninja or a knight.

Do you think that we'll get Casual Harumi in a summer set?, I say this because her design is more unique that most of the designs made only for the tv show,it would also be another use of the 'Koko' hairpiece and I think one of the figs in the Dragons Den set looks like it could be her.

It had its problems but Iiked that pair, though they didn't seem to set-up a climax for the finale which is okay but unusual.

I can ask why not, it sounds to me like the usaull type and those tend to come with figs, maybe Godric is the fig?

Hi J.J welcome to eurobricks, I hope you enjoy it here.

Not really but I've got a few Steven Universe mystery minis and some pop-funkos, I used to collect the Doctor Who 5 inch figures but I haven't bought a new one since the main line was shrunk to 3.75 inches. There are other things I would get but Lego is a priority, so in terms of toys Iego is the only one for me.

I think these are the first ninjago pods on sale, the previous Kai one was a promotional giveaway.

It looks good so far, though I can't really read the hats sign as hats. Is it designed to fit with the ninjago city set?

It something they could learn to care about but they'd need to be taught, some may already be interested or may get interested due to the lego theme, but I doubt it would be enough to be financially viable.Anyway to be honest Its more about what I think lego thinks their core audience would be indifferent to, Its something lego might have tried in the 2000s but would more hesitant to now. Well not completely but partially, the majority of them would have no attachment to the setting,but of course other Lego themes would have that problem. Its a shame but it seems that Lego themes need be recognizable whether that's with a strong a media push ( like ninjago), or something that's pretty much universally recognisable,( like city and friends ) or be something based off of a publicised brand or license license (like star wars ) in fact if I remember correctly those exemplified were all among lego's 5 top selling themes back in 2016. A majority of children aren't really aware of things like steampunk and 1950's b-movies and so they don't really fit into any of these boxes, even with a media push like a tv show ,you'd need something to get them watching, to get them hooked in the first place. And yes you do have a point that the early sci-fi aesthetic may turn a few heads but will it be enough? I'm not saying that I think it wouldn't sell but would it sell enough I'm that afraid that from my angle I cannot see such a theme preforming well enough for TLG to consider it. Maybe I'm being to much of a pessimist but remember that themes with more initial appeal like Ultra agents got canned, and after cancelling such lines TLG is probably not prepared to take such risks in the near future fearing that events will not pan out any more favourably.But that's just my opinion and in this case I'd be pleased to be proven wrong And on a totally different point to counter my main argument. I think it was Mark Stafford who said that steampunk didn't test well with kids, and yet in 2016 we received the heavily steam punk skybound wave of ninjago sets. If you look at chima it appears to be a risky untested idea that kids wouldn't relate to but perhaps it wasn't untested at all after all the 2012 wave of ninjago sets featured anthropomorphised snakes in snake vehicles, chima had the same just with different animals. Most of the ninjago villians have been things that lego would not otherwise make, like cyberpunk droids, motorcycle gangs or the as of yet unreleased dieselnaut dragonhunters. Perhaps with such a theme as suggested by @Nerd-with-a-Pencil Ninjago could be used as a testing bed of sorts,using similar villains and brick built monsters but maybe adding a kaiju/godzilla like element to it to ninjaify it and use that wave to a) gauge interest by comparing it other waves and (b) make more of the kids familiar with this sort of thing so that if they do launch such a theme then there will be more interest from the get go.

I think such a theme would be too much of a market risk for tlg which is a shame but they'd probably need a huge marketing push to turn the eye of their target market.

Well to quote something from 5 years ago. Reviews may be too much of an ask and I tend to use brickset and youtube for that anyway but its a nice thought. But I'd love some more contests, as mentioned by @Penkid11 tags could be the prizes which would mean there'd be no cost.

Now I can see that you're in the states, but for those in the kingdom (and presumably the rest of Europe) there is a black gi Lloyd with the ninjago magazine for £4.50 which isn't exactly cheap but it's not too bad.
