As well as what appears to be a new torso print. I just hope that the differences between the updated troopers and the current ones are subtle enough that they can be displayed together. 😐

"Wait, who?", Yelana said, surprised; "Are you talking about 'Fix_It'?". "M.I.L.E.S., did you catch something I missed? I didn't see anything like that when I looked over the debris.". Yelana shrugged and looked around at everyone present, seemingly confused. OoC: "Feel free to have a look around.", Yelana said in as casual a voice as she could muster; "I do think we should let 'Fix-It' know what's going on, though - He may be able to shed some light on this whole situation, and he's probably getting a little cramped in that shed.". She turned and walked pointedly over to the shed and knocked on the door; "'Fix-It'? Meerabeau? All's clear, but, uh. . . the Mayor's here, and she's pissed.".

I completely understand this, but I do doubt that @jus1973 meant any offence - Some people use person-first language (as you do), while others prefer identity-first (as I do - I am Autistic; I do not "have Autism").

"I find it presumptuous that you'd assume I'm flirting.", Yelana replied coyly. Yelana glanced down at the weapon, then looked back at Avgustus; "Ah - Just out of curiosity, what branch did you serve in?".

I think that with around 20 Minifigs, we could probably get both Black Falcons and Black/Dragon Knights: 1-6): Crusaders/Lion Knights Guards 7,8): Crusaders/Lion Knights Mounted Knights 9): Farmer/Peasant Man 10): Peasant Woman 11): Peasant Boy/Stable Boy 12): Peasant Girl 13): Forestmen Prisoner 14): Black Falcons Mounted Knight 15): Black Falcons Guard/Squire 16): Black/Dragon Knights Mounted Knight 17): Black/Dragon Knights Guard/Squire 18): Innkeeper 19): Blacksmith 20): King

BrickLink is a good option for buying just the Minifigs that you want, but prices can go up very quickly once a series retires!

"Uh, Polaris? I think you're being a just little bit paranoid - I mean, who would programme creepy animatronic bears to just shamble around and break shit? It was probably just a fused circuit or something. . . "; Yelana shrugged causally. "And what memory cores are you talking about? These things are like two steps up from simple clockworks, I'd doubt they had any kind of programming at all - You can check, but I didn't see anything."

Yelana stood up and approached the Mayor. "Whoa, uh, take a breath, Mayor. . . Skyreach, was it? It's okay - Everything's under control now. There was just some malfunctioning tech, but we took care of it; 'Fix-It' and his assistant are in that shed over there. We're fine, no-one's hurt, but, uh. . . I do appreciate your concern, though.". Yelana paused for a second: "So. . . we're good here, or do you need to take a look around?". OoC:

Yelana looked up at Polaris. "What 'what?'? Energy Cells slow down your perception of time so you can make the perfect hit, but when the effect wears off, it just about makes me puke!" Giving a quick thumbs-up to Polaris, Yelana returned to her examination of the debris. "Not the first time.", she thought, keeping her eyes focused on her work. Upon hearing the footsteps growing louder, Yelana quickly and quietly retrieved the five memory cores and the receivers from the scrapped toys, slipping them into her backpack. OoC:

"Hmmmm. . . ". Yelana tucked a strand of hair behind her ear; "And what would you know about these 'mercenaries in black armour', exactly?", she said, in a tone that could almost seem flirtatious. OoC: "Right, right - You know, I could throw that same question back at you. I mean, I could ask what projector's worth coming all the way out here to get it fixed. Or I could ask why you're so proficient with weapons when you're just a professor. . . I could ask a lot of things. . . ". Raising her eyebrow, Yelana turned back to the scrap pile. OoC: Rolling the receiver around in her hand, Yelana pondered the situation: "Okay. . . Harrigan definitely built these; programmed, I don't know. . . They were buried - see also, mould - so they've been here a while. . . Not an assassination attempt - it'd be too hard to pull off without being detected. . . Defence system? . . . Not automated, though. . . Wait - Playback and enhance.". Yelana thought back to the moment before the toys emerged and tried to remember if 'Fix-It' or Meerabeau did anything to suggest that they were activating them. OoC:

Apologies for being absent again; some things have come up over the past few days. I will be caught up and active again tomorrow, though (later today, technically). 👍

👍

Yelana looked up; "Wait, you're using Plasma Potions? Can't you just, like, meditate, or something to heal yourself?" OoC:

"Woo! Nice job!"; Yelana walked over to Bers and placed a hand on his shoulder, eyeing Avgustus warily. "Sorry you took some bad hits back there - I wasn't expecting Polaris to not be a team player. . . I though she'd back you up.". OoC: "Oh, hey - What are you doing out here? It's not that I don't appreciate the help, just, uh. . . who's looking after 'Fix-It' and, uh, what's-her-name?". Yelana turned towards Bers and lowered her voice: "Check that gun and make sure it only fired one shot. . . I'll explain later.". Yelana crouched down by the remains of the Endo-Skeleton and began examining the strange device. "Weird. . . <Alright: Full scan - I want to know exactly what this is.>". "<Comprehensive Scans Have Been Initiated. . . Scanning. . . >". OoC: "Ah - No", she said flatly as Polaris reached for the device - And I don't need that; the comedowns make me feel like shit.". "Good idea - Let's see if they aren't too scuffed. . . And let me take a look when you're done.". OoC:

OoC:

"What the - ??", Yelana muttered as the Endo-Skeleton oozed. . . something other than the oil that she was expecting. "Oh, shit - Bers! You okay?!" "Woah, careful! I'll handle this thing - You need to Dash back to point D8; I can't cover you from where you are, and you can't take another hit like that!" "<Target locked>". OoC:

No problem! 👍

I created a new thread for this discussion:

In order to keep from clogging up the Avatar thread, I am creating this one:

I just checked Instagram, and before posting this, @TandNbricks added a picture of Mythica to their IG story and tagged @Brick Clicker and @Falconfan1414. 🤔

"Uh. . . You sure that's a good idea? You took a pretty bad hit, and at E7 you'd be pinning yourself if Bers and I can't take down that Endo-Skeleton in time!"

Do you know something? @Brick Clicker said that the theme was unlicensed, so that rules out a Secrets of Dumbledore line (also, if that were the case, the sets would probably have 764xx numbers, as HP and FB sets have been grouped together before). Interesting. . . 🤔 Mythica could work as a Mixels-style theme (considering the creature designs), but I am not sure where a BrickHeadz would fit in.

It seems like the picture of the old torso is overexposed, since this picture of the Minifig has the correct colouring.

This theme not involving Bionicle seemingly rules out a connection to the 90th Anniversary, but I find a new in-house theme launching with only four sets and a BrickHeadz to be rather odd. 🤔

OoC: Polaris will use a Plasma Potion.
