Music video was alright. Song was good too. But I was really interested in the new footage. With Cragger and Laval being buds at first really makes the story more personal now that they separate. And the fight scenes look very intense. Also cool that we're getting Rhinos and Bears. Still would like Elephants, though, but that may be slightly difficult. And I called it: Gorillas get mechs. Kalhiki

Try Baterra. Seems almost spot on. Just a few differences in the overall design. Kalhiki

As a fan of Lego Universe, I'm quite interested in what this Chima MMOG will bring. I really want to play as a Raven. But I wonder what sort of story it'll have... And when it'll be released. Kalhiki

Hmmm... Hairdryer or hot water may work. It'll soften the piece allowing you to safely bend it. Then when it cools it'll stay that way. In theory, that is. Haven't tried it on mine as mine aren't too badly bent. Still, it's a glaring problem. Hopefully Brain Attack Rocka's sword doesn't share this issue. Kalhiki

Jet Rocka looks... Good, I suppose. Still, I don't know if I'll get him. Seems kinda pointless to have two Rockas. If it were up to me, either have a different character for the jetpack, or replace Rocka in the first wave with either Stringer or Nex. Other ones look good from what I can see. Need clearer pics, though. Kalhiki

Cool, thanks! Good thing too as Walmart is the closest store near me. Didn't know the Ultra Striker was an exclusive as well. Doesn't matter, though, since I'm not too into that. I'm mostly interested in the models, which is why I'm really wanting the Raider. Just an awesome looking bird and probably one of the best looking sets, in my opinion. Kalhiki

Sorry, I guess I should say in the States. My bad. Kalhiki

Just a quick question: I believe the Chi Raider is an exclusive set, but do we know what store it's exclusive to? This is really one of the only other sets I want, and I want to be on the lookout for it. Kalhiki

A Walmart in my area had them. Don't think they had Speedorz, though. Picked up Razcal's Glider. What a beauty. If this is the kind of quality in sets they can put out in the first wave, I'm excited what comes next. Kalhiki

Stringer and Nex taking a vacation or something? I like Rocka. But he's turning into a Bumblebee: nice character, too many toys. I'm really interested in this Dragon character. Since he's fighting Surge, I imagine he'll be blue (judging by what we got this wave) in whaich case, I'll be happy. I love blue dragons, and if it had yellow on him and was a great looking set all around, I may be able to excuse Stringer and Nex's abscence. Jet Rocka... Unless it's absolutely amazing, I have no interest in getting this. One Rocka per year/story is enough. I don't need another Brain Attack Rocka. Kalhiki

Well, the sets have wormed their way out to the US Lego shop website. Not sure if this was said before. Someone mentioned they were available on the site, but when I checked the US site, they weren't yet, so.... Good news for those looking for 'em. I have Christmas cash to blow, so I know what I'm going to spend it on. Kalhiki

Gorzan's Gorilla Striker looks like a giant gorilla mech. If that's the case, I totally called that one. Out of these, The Gorilla Striker and the Lion Temple interest me the most. Not sure about the other two until we get clearer pictures. Kalhiki

Speaking of Scarox, how do you guys pronounce it? "Scar" or "Scare"? I've been pronouncing it "Scar", but "scare" sounds more fitting. Anywho, only watched reviews of Bulk, Rocka, and Scarox as of now. Scarox, while probably the worst in my opinion, doesn't look too terribly bad. And I'm still loving Rocka. Too bad the shield sticks out so far on his back. Kalhiki

Hm. Surge also has a Scout Drone. Cool to see we're getting the new fire piece in a different color on Stormer. Ice really didn't occur to me as it looked like electricity. Also, I believe the half shield piece on Stormer is some sort of arm mounted blade instead of a shield. Or maybe it's some combination of both. Kalhiki

Wow. The Heroes look great. Stormer is very nice. Loving the trans-blue sword he has there. And Evo. Looking pretty sharp. Not sure how I feel about the spear, but whatever. Oh, and that Ice Villain is totally a Baterra. White and blue, spikey armor, underbite. Close enough for me. Kalhiki

Thanks for the news! Hopefully the others will be soon to follow. Anyway, Bulk looks rather nice. The visorless helmet doesn't look all too bad, if you ask me. But I've noticed with all the Hero Helmets (so far) is that the lower portion is kinda fat looking. I guess this is to incorporate the visor, but still. Looks weird. Kalhiki

Head is... Interesting. Actually kinda liking the lack of a face as it makes it more versatile. Don't really mind the Braid Slug length. And the color blending on Pyrox's Slug makes it look gross. In a good way. Kalhiki

Hopefully a stateside release is coming soon! Can't wait to see the pics. 'Specially of the head. I think that's the one thing I want to see most. Kalhiki

Not sure how I feel about the green on the Chi Raider, but overall, the set looks fantastic. Almost looks like it was hacked together with scavenged scrap metal. The Raven Glider is also lovely. Nice and sleek. Yeah, Ravens are my favorite. The Pack tracker is also cool. Love the snarling upper "lip" on the wolf head. Kalhiki

Decided to wander into this topic for a change... Anyway, not too interested in the Lion dude (Laval? Still learning the names). But I'm interested in the Croc if just for the head. Seems like it has a hinged jaw (it would be stupid if it didn't) which adds that much more coolness to it. Kalhiki

They're out!? Woohoo!!! Now I'm excited. Kalhiki

Well, they look pretty good. Ogrum's nice, but I still retain my opinion. I've grown to like him. Breez still looks cool. Hopefully that "smile" is just a shine on the helmet because as a smile, it just looks weird. Rocka's still awesome. Scarox looks better. Also, nice view of the Brain Slug. I still like Pyrox, but hopefully his helmet isn't that glossy. And with his head sticking that far forward, the horns look kinda strange. But the fire pieces look great! Bruizer is quite nice still, but the arm looks like it's going to be stuck in that position due to the function. Furno looks great. The sheer mass of his upper half makes me completely ignore the lack of crotch armor. But I'm still replacing the feet with red ones. One thing I don't like is that the "arms" around the Core completely cover it. I liked the other pics that still have the Core visible. Kalhiki

I'm liking this wave. I'm definitely wanting the Alien Avenger, Knight, Mech, and Chicken Suit Guy. May also pick up Doctor Good/Evil and the Cyclops. Which, if I get all the above, it would be my largest wave collection. Kalhiki

You bring up good points. Yeah, I guess she did do something to drive the plot, but I'm still bothered by the scroll thing. I was always wanting to yell at the TV "You have the scrolls and didn't explain everything in them!?". Or something like that. And like I said, it seemed like a cheap source for info. I mean, honestly, it seemed that every time the villains did something, Misako comes along and says "We can counter attack because the scrolls say such-and-such". I know I may be overreacting, but it just kinda got annoying. I'd rather watch the Ninja do some snooping and eavesdrop on Garmadon. Because, y'know, they're ninja and can be sneaky. But still. Minor issue compared to all the rest the show had to offer. Kalhiki

*sigh*. Lego, why don't you make shirts for adults. I'd proudly wear a Ninjago shirt to school. Kalhiki
