Direct 2 Consumer, big sets like the Ewok Village and Classic Batcave that are usually only available in LEGO Stores.

The prelim has the ghost legs, and I'm sure he'll use those.

Hey guys! Does anyone on here think Eurobricks needs a new logo? I like the current one right now, but I was just wondering if the staff have ever pondered the idea of remaking it. Maybe some people can make their own and share them here? Just thought it was a fun topic to discuss.

I even have images of the sets and they all show short legs! Some of the builds wouldn't work with normal legs.

Agh! I'm about to scream. The Mighty Micros have SHORT LEGS.

Hello! This is my entry to LEGO's Legends of Chima Big Box Competition! Before I start talking about the actual fortress, I just wanted to say that I don't build many things with physical bricks. Only things I do are my Winter Village entries (I will definitely be entering again, this year!) and an occasional thing for another contest I might see. I usually use LDD, which I'm pretty decent at, but they haven't updated it at all during 2015. So, with my limited selection of bricks, I made this. Hope you guys will like it! The theme of the contest was to build a fortress to protect the CHI. I had a friend help me with photography, and I asked him to keep the images looking a little amateur-ish so it didn't look too "official" like an actual LEGO Shop@Home image, or too 'professional' for the CLUB magazine if they ended up choosing me as a winner (of 2) and putting it in the next issue. Also, a lot of the pieces are a bit dusty, so excuse that, sorry! I only had 2 of the Fire vs. Ice Chima sets (and some polybags) and resisted ordering any extra pieces from LEGO. So, without further ado, this is Flinx's Flaming CHI Fortress! The figures I included were Flinx, Frax, Laval, Cragger, Worriz, Eris, Mungus, and Voom Voom. In the front, a gate with a phoenix head, two big torches on the sides in front of tan, brick guard towers. One has a moveable turret, and the other just has a balcony. I watched some episodes of the show to get some reference photos. The entire temple was on fire, so I tried adding some flames, torches, and other things around the outside. I tried integrating the Chima "theme" with the giant animal heads into this, hence the giant phoenix head above the gate. I usually try making my MOCs look like official LEGO sets, so I added a lot of play features to this. The phoenix head can turn from side to side, and has spring shooter eyes. Turning the fortress around, the interior features a large tower, stairs, a Fire CHI pit, and more. Starting with the right tower, the lower half features a small blacksmith/weapon creation/armory room. There's a rack with multiple golden weapons and tools to create flaming swords and such to attack the Ice Tribes with. An anvil is off to the left with a golden fire chainsaw. Above is a balcony. The middle tower features a prison, a room with The Artifact, which in the show is a giant map showing all of Chima. Mount Cavora lays in the middle with a hovering fire CHI crystal above. Above is a small bedroom for any of the characters to sleep in, with a lamp. The top of the tower has Flinx's throne (in my "world of Chima," Flinx is the ruler because I don't own Fluminox.) Giant flames burst from the sides, to show the flaming effect. In front of the Artifact is path with torches and a trap door leading to the prison below, activated by turning the entire Artifact. (Fun fact, my original version of this fortress was a lot smaller. The Artifact was still in the middle and I wanted it to turn and do something. At first it knocked down the stairs in front of the gate. Then I decided to switch to this Indiana Jones baseplate I found. After heavily revising this middle section over and over again, I was finally satisfied with how I made it.) Onto the last part of the fortress! The bottom half has a small elevated area with a pit where the CHI is protected and can be lifted by the nearby crane. Above that is a staircase that leads to the turret. It took me a while to figure out an acceptable design but I'm glad with how it turned out. I really wanted to use those trans-orange claw pieces. The turret can be raised and lowered past the golden fence piece. It can also spin around, and all four flick-fires can be shot at once. And that's it for the fortress! Now onto the Croc tribe vehicle I included. I made this a long time ago, when the contest was first announced. I actually based it off of some really old concept art for the Chima line that was posted on the site. I tried reverse engineering the build, but I couldn't exactly figure out the treads on the side, so I just built them so they don't actually roll. And that's everything! I really had a lot of fun building this, and I hope I win the contest. Even if I stopped being interested in Chima after 2013, that's a LOT of LEGO! If you wanna see the 2-3 extra photos I didn't post in here, check out this album on my Flickr! If you've got any questions, please feel free to ask below. Thanks again for looking!

"..purchase of..." Ah, darn.

Wow, it looks fantastic! How do you get this again?

..Oh. Is it too early for a Series 16 guessing thread? I have some guesses..

Expecting this to be the Jewel Thief

Where was he confirmed again?

Alright, I got... Got 5 right. I knew 3 in advance, so eh. I did alright.

The island of Ninjago.

Also, for the 80th time, they DO HAVE MINI LEGS. Why are you guys in so much denial over this?

It literally says "Includes 2 minifigures with mini legs" in every one.

So basically a four armed evil genie. That sounds absolutely amazing.

Still waiting for the right leg of Dr. Rodney Rathbone's from Monster Fighters. Maybe the robot in this series will have it.

From Reddit - these advertising standee things and more of them appear in the retailer catalog.

Called my local TRU - they say the polybag comes in on November 1st. They also mentioned something about an AT-DP coming this Sunday.

City.

Only thing I don't like is the tail. Also, If the Queen's dress is that thin, well.. it's a little too thin.

Those are not the Astronaut, Animal Control Officer or Jewel Thief. Those are all from the CITY sets. I didn't think we were getting a queen until next series.

You sure? I'm pretty positive LEGO wouldn't change the mold in the image...

Question is, will Clumsy Guy have bent arms?

So that's what 'blue' meant... nice to know, thanks J2G!
