Well, with the cliffhanger in the Breakout episode, and the two Breakout waves happening simultaneously story-wise, it would seem reasonable that we'd get another wave. Kalhiki

Yes, please share it if it's factual! Also, the small sets finally hit my TRU. Picked up Stringer who is as cool as I thought he would be. Kalhiki

"Pirates vs Ninja" was good. I enjoyed Soto and his crew and actually found his accent pretty interesting. Gave a whole Oriental Pirate vibe which was probably what they were going for in the first place. Dareth was great. I especially loved all the animal noises he made (specifically the Python). Also, I'm really enjoying this season. I like how the story unfolds with each episode. Last season was somewhat predictable (awaken snakes, find Fang Blades, awaken Devourer). This season however (especially with little plot revealed aside from training Lloyd) seems really free and fresh like it could go in any direction. Kalhiki

I kinda like XT4 (judging by pics and videos). Is he the best? Absolutely not. But I'll still end up getting him. However, he'll probably be my last purchase. Still need to get Stringer. Hopefully I'll find him on Friday when we go shopping. Kalhiki

Breakout Wave 2 is now on Lego Shop at Home! Hopefully this means they'll be more widespread in stores than just TRU. Kalhiki

"The villains have escaped prison to... DESTROY ALL HEROES!" And that's all I have to say about the commercials. Kalhiki

Aside from balancing, I have no problems with the Mech. Probably on of my favorite sets, as a matter of fact. But that's just my opinion. Kalhiki

Is anyone having any luck with finding the smaller sets in the US? I've only been at TRU and could only find the medium and boxed sets. I want my Stringer. And Nex... And XT4... And Thornraxx... And whoever I may have missed. Kalhiki

Yeah, I could, but I prefer to get my figures in stores. But you know, by the time I finish purchasing the larger scaled figures, the smaller sets will probably be out. And since I plan to get most of the figures, it's really no problem to wait until then. Kalhiki

Well, the small sets weren't there, but I did get Breez. Such a great looking figure. The colors are pretty well balanced, and the return of the Breez helm and the 1.0 feet (some of my favorite pieces) is more than welcome. Still want Stringer though... Kalhiki

Hopefully I'll be able to swing by TRU today. Maybe they've restocked with the small sets (didn't have em last time). I really want Stringer. Also looking forward to Nex and XT4 reviews. They're some I'm really wanting, but mixed views put me on edge (especially with XT4). Kalhiki

Popping in to say I saw the first episode of the new season. Overall it was good, but it seemed a little slow paced. No, I'm not watching the episodes on the web. I prefer to watch it in full High Quality glory of the television. Kalhiki

Glorious. Something so simple pulling off so much awesomeness. Kalhiki

I don't know, I may have read the tag wrong. But Stormer was definitely $30. I guess it's not that bad, but I don't know if I want him enough to pay a markup at all. May change my mind. And no, I sadly don't have a Lego Store around me. St. Louis needs a Lego Store... Kalhiki

Forgot to mention this. When I got Voltix at Toys R Us, I saw Stormer XL there... For 30 bucks. A ridiculous markup, if you ask me (isn't he supposed to be $25?). Especially when compared to Doc who was going for, like, $32 if I remember correctly. I'll probably wait for a more widespread release (aka: Walmart) before I get him. Also, just to stay on topic: That comic cover is beatiful. Damaso should do more Hero Factory art aside from the comics. Kalhiki

The trailer was actually pretty exciting. And offered a lot of new things that could potentially become sets. I for one, am excited about the new season (this Wednesday!) and am hoping new sets will accompany it. Kalhiki

Watch the news be nothing spectacular and we're all fussing over nothing. Hope that's not the case. Kalhiki

Haven't they re-used set numbers before? Not sure... Anyway, I'm skeptical. The lack of Furno is surprising. I just can't seem to see a wave without him (minus Breakout Wave 2 since he was in the story arc in the beginning). Unless this is like Breakout again with a year long story arc. Also, isn't Spitta a character from Ninjago? But until more is revealed, I can't say much. Kalhiki

I have a feeling that Garmadon will turn good. Like, there's an evil side to him that needs to be destroyed by Lloyd, and then Garmadon will become his older, normal self. Kalhiki

Just got Voltix at TRU. I wouldn've gotten Stringer with him, but they only had the medium sized figures. Anyway, he's great. I don't mind the short arms as much, and the colors are far more cohesive in person. Also, the new lightning pieces are gorgeous. Kalhiki

Epic. The only word that can describe this figure. Minus the short arms. But, like Aanchir said, the arms are compensated by the large weapons. Especially the claw which makes makes him seem really obsessed with Cores. So much so that he has a claw built into his arm. Anyway, despite how awesome this figure is, he'll probably be part of my third purchase (first is Stringer/Voltix, second is Nex/XT4, and then Stormer/Core Hunter). Kalhiki

Voltix. My favorite villain and you captured his look perfectly! Great job! Kalhiki

Great review once again. However, I still haven't changed my mind on him. I'll probably wait and get him for Christmas. He's not my favorite Hero of this wave, but I still can't decide why. Maybe it's what you said in the Cons about the colors clashing. The silver head and shoulders combined with the gunmetal torso just doesn't work for me. Kalhiki

Make a new set and replace the blue with purple. Just so we can have more purple. :P Well, maybe that would deviate to far from his character. The black and blue was a great combo. Still, I'd love to see a new set of him as VN was one of my favorite villains. Kalhiki

Yep. the TRU stores around me get shipments Tuesdays and Thursdays. I went once only a few days after they showed up on the site, but no luck. Probably too soon. That's why I'll wait until the weekend probably before I go again. Man I want these sets so bad. I'm loving Voltix more and more as I look at him. The messy-ness of his top half just looks fun what with all the tubes and lightning pieces. Kalhiki
