I've sent an e-mail to Lego as to when we'll see them state-side. I'll inform you when I get a reply. Kalhiki

I don't really mind its ending. I kinda foresaw it since pretty much every Lego theme ends (with a few exceptions) within a few years. Plus, the inevitable final battle between Lloyd and Garmadon pretty much screams closure. The end also excites me. Hopefully, being the end and all, we'll get something even better than the Rise of the Snakes story arc (which I feel is the best out of the two arcs). And, Lego will really have to have something great up their sleeve in order to top Ninjago. Kalhiki

Whatever the connection on the new head mold (be it be like the 2.0 heads or a regular socket), I'm going to welcome it. Sometimes I like building with my sets, but this wave has been somewhat restricted due to the head socket. Same with the two-toed claw feet, but we aren't getting any of those in the summer. Kalhiki

I think I've heard "Born to be a Ninja" before, and didn't really like it. But now that I gave it a second listen, it's actually pretty great. Not sure how it compares to "The Weekend Whip," though. Both are excellent songs. Kalhiki

Nice pics, Gata! Interesting that the boxed sets also have the yellow bar on top (consistency!). Core Hunter's packaging also looks pretty nice. Always like the look of cities. Kalhiki

Once I get Stormer I'm going to hope and pray that he isn't top heavy. Those friction joints on his legs just look terrible. Otherwise, he isn't that bad. Core Hunter looks great. Despite the generic build, the use of parts and colors really makes him pop. Speeda Demon I can wait on. He isn't a priority for me, but I must admit that he does look pretty good. Kalhiki

But bear in mind that the movie hasn't even been confirmed yet. Not only that, but if it does go into production, who knows when we'll see it released. It'll easily be beyond the Breakout arc. Most likely it's going to be a completely unique story. Kalhiki

Y'know, I'd like it if the movie had Nebula as the main villain. Not necessarily the RotR story arc, but maybe focusing on his return. I'm actually getting more and more excited. If done right it could be one epic movie. Don't want to get my hopes up, but being a big fan of the live action TF movies, I can't help but not to. Kalhiki

The more I think about the movie, the more I'm unsure. If the live action aspect of it is just civilian and background characters as others have mentioned, then that's fine. Something like Transformers is acceptable. I'm partly excited for it and can't wait to see concept art and the like. Two things I'm wondering though. 1) Who will be the voice actors? I feel the TV shows have a great cast of voices and can't picture who else would voice them. I guess if they sound similar, that'd be fine; and 2) What will the movie be rated? Being Lego it seems more like a PG type movie, but Transformers ( also being a movie based on kids' toys) was PG-13. Personally, I'd like a more mature movie at the PG-13 rating. just seems more broad about what could go on. Kalhiki

No. No live action. If they improve on what we already have in terms of the TV show, then fine. But adding a "human element" would just ruin it for me. It's a Hero Factory. Building robotic Heroes. Humans just don't have a place. Using motion capture software would be cool, but I don't think that's considered live action. Do we have any more info on this? Kalhiki

I'm not really hunting down the sets until I get word they're released. Hopefully soon, though. I'm thinking end of next month at the earliest. When did the Savage Planet sets come out? I guess we could get a rough estimate based on that. Kalhiki

Yeah, I'm wanting the ZX Ninjas. NRG's... eh. Since they're spinner pack exclusives, I'll probably pass (still don't want to pay the money for them). Along with the ZX Ninjas, I'm wanting the Snake Generals and their staffs, and the maybe the Fang Blades. That's my goal this time around. Kalhiki

All look great. Just a few notes: -Still not interested in Bulk. -Loving the detail on Stringer's shoulders. And that ransparent torso armor scares me. Without back armor, I'm afraid he'll look rather hollow. -Voltix's new lightning pieces look cool and I hope they look that way on the set. But I share the same fear that the color blending will make them look off. -XT4 is great. Sadly, I hate the tubes coming out of his gut. I'd much rather prefer them coming out of the back, but that doesn't really seem possible due to the build. Kalhiki

Personally, I like the set incarnation of the Epic Dragon. It just seems like a large bulky dragon. The one in the show (if I remember correctly) just looks like one of the four elemental dragons only white and with four heads. The set just seems more unique and different compared to the other four dragons. Plus it has all those lovely trans-green pieces. I'm a sucker for transparent parts. Kalhiki

Very nice MoC! Seems like Ponies would be hard to pull off in HF parts. Just one minor problem mainly with posing. Shouldn't the "elbows" be posed more like... elbows? How you have it they appear more like knees. Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not an expert on the anatomy of horses . Kalhiki

Well, your opinion is opposite of mine. I just got it today and think it's great. However, I don't really like the helmet. Without a head under it, it just looks hollow. Like it's just floating there. Otherwise, my complaints are really minor. But, we're all entitled to our own opinions. Kalhiki

I never really had that problem with my PQ Cobra. And, sadly, the Devourer never really reared up in the show as far as I can remember. Kalhiki

The articulation on the Mech! I didn't even realize it could turn at the waist. The only thing it's missing are knees, but I've grown used to the lack of on mechs. I would prefer stability over poseability. Definitely getting this when I find it. It's too good to pass up. Kalhiki

Beacause Mark Hamill has an amazing voice perfect for villains. And speaking of "French Phantom", does he really have a French accent? I thought it was at first, but now I'm not sure. I have a hard time identifying accents. Kalhiki

Loving the yellow tops. That's kinda half sarcasm. They look good, but I really don't care since I end up cutting them off anyway. But, yeah. Speeda's box art looks great. But once again, not a set I'm interested in. Can't wait to see these figures hit the shelves! Kalhiki

The USR is basically the vehicle form of the Tornado of Creation (all four weapons make it). It was briefly in the season finale when they fired the flute song at the Great Devourer. Anyways, cool pictures. Samurai Mech is totally bought. Heck, I'll get them all except for the Bite Cycle. And though it's out of my price point, I may break down and get the Samurai Mech right away just because it looks so cool (instead of waiting for the holiday season/birthday)! Kalhiki

Really? Wow that was unexpected. Hopefully we'll be seening an American release soon. In the meantime, looking forward to seeing reviews of the guys. Kalhiki

Which reminds me. Does anyone know what's up with Black Phantom's offset chin? It seems like it has to be the mold since it's like that with every one of those helmets (I can see it on Speeda from Toyfair). It just seems weird, and even weirder if it was intentional. Kalhiki

That's weird seeing the shield with an axle. So, two polybags, but sadly none that have Arachnix. I really want an individual Arachnix set so I can army-build. Kalhiki

702... What a strange number. But when it comes to pieces, the more the better. Yeah, I'd totally spring for one of those. Also, nice CGI pics. I've seen em before, but not that high of quality. Seems like Core Hunter has some sort of breathing apparatus. Kalhiki
