Kai NRG

Kimono Lloyd. That's a good name for him. he reminds me of Wu in his DX suit. Pretty cool. Although the shoulder armor does look a bit out of place. . .

Thatnks for the picture of Lloyd. he look a lot different, but I'd really like that gold hat for him! Anyway, I've now seen some more of the upcoming ninjago cards #18 Bytar by gid617, on Flickr This one comes with Lizaru: #44 Poison Whips by gid617, on Flickr I'm not sure if this is included with Bytar of NRG Zane. Form the SP, it could be either. #79? Crown of Earth by gid617, on Flickr And this one comes with Slithraa. #99 Spirit Guard by gid617, on Flickr That'a all I know so far

Yeah, it's really cool. Other than that he's pretty plain, but that newspaper makes me like him better

Yeah, it's growing on me too. . .

I was kind of thinking he would unlock his true potential first. . . Yeah. That would make sense. Especially since Garmadon has some good points. . . although it has allways seemed weird to me that he can love his son so much and still hate his brother!

Yeah, I don't really like the freckles. . . Yeah, seeing them in real life makes them a lot nicer. . . sometimes. Actually, the ones I had thought not so good look better, and the ones I had though awesome - well, some of them look a little worse. The Conquistador, for example. I was really hoping he'd have a printed torso Only the Thesbian, yes. In fact, it was Bizzy that said so! Wow. . . that's crazy! Wonder if there's any chance of that happening around here. . . Probably not!

Actually, photos often make a lot of the minifigs look better. . . Although the DJ's face isn't quite as nice as I had originally thought, the cheerleader looks a lot better.

Personally I don't mind him. But really, after seeing episode 17, I don't think he'll ever make it into a set Edit; Guess I'll have to eat my words; the stud is pinkish, and it's also just a stud Series 8 Collectible Mini Figs - Female Alien by Bizzy78, on Flickr

Yeah, I'm not sure about it being trans-purple/violet color either. . . I do think it's studless though (although sometimes it seems like it has a stud). For it to have a stud would just make the alien queen too boring. A fully armed minifig. . . I don't know - maybe a pirate? Maybe it could be a previously released minifig (Lord Garmadon 4-arms, for example)?

Hmm. . . I don't think the cowgirl's legs are really a different mold. And if the cheerleader has a dual face she would move up a lot more in my ranking. . . so I'm hoping she has one! I hope not. . . was the S7 evil knight's torso blank? Just saw the previous comment. . . nuts. I was hoping for some detalining

Not only were their not very many, LEGO didn't originally retal them since the rataling stores didn't see how popular they'd be. So when they saw that they were going like hotcakes, retailes jumped on LEGO for some, and LEGO had to take them straight from their stores. That's what I heard happened, anyway Yeah. That grin just doesn't look too good. . .

And here is episode 17 itself. . . edit: sorry, posted the wrong video. Here is episode 17 Somehow I can't seem to embed it so I'll just link it: Episode 17

Hmm. . . Maybe you should look a little closer. . . it really does seem studless.

I'm wondering that too. Judging from the pics, they are. But then again, they just might not be. . . Yeah, too much gold on the pirate. . . I don't really get the sleeveless arms either - they don't look that good on a football player - he should at least have short sleeves!

Lets see. . . 1. Same as the head, I think. Not pink, at any rate. I think it might be the first purple-trans peice? 2. Yes, but only because of the hair underneath it. Other than that, we've had the same basic mold before. 3. Neck-wear? I dont think so - he just has a beard (not sure if that counts as neck-wear. . . ). In his hand he has a sack - almost golden, actually. 4. I think so. Not positive though. 5. It does seem to be a newspaper, and, although I'm not 100% positive about this, I beleive his suitcase is the same as previous ones 6. Seems like it. Not too cool if you ask me. . . That would be really nice. . . I had no cule they came w/head though. . . Well, we did have a sailor in S4 . . . But I agree, not to thrilled about the pirate captain (almost too much gold, actually. . . )

OK. Good number, if you ask me.

Long Legs? It actually just square 1x1 studed tiles on the bottom. Even better, if you ask me. . . If you ask me, four a year would be good. . . and it seems like that's just about what they're doing

Pretty easy to se what theme you like. . . Actually, Captain Soto is one reason I'm not too crazy about this pirate - who needs so many pirate captains? Well. . . Lego has to spread out the new minfigs a little, don't you think? Honestly, I don't think this series is so bad - I just think that a lot of people have forgotton S2 and S3. . . Not that they weren't cool, (just a little plain), but this one is at least as good, IMHO. I don't mind the repeats either. . . It might be disappointing to people who collect dozens of thease minifigs, but to the rest of us their pretty cool. Except the Cheerleader, who is basically just a different color (and not even a nice scheme at that. . . ).

you are certainly right about the cheerleader - in fact I think it's even worse than the S1 one. Female Alien. . . not too cool. And I'm also very glad that the DJ isn't a S2 copy - as it is, I love the detailing and especially the head phones.

I still don't have the Aztec though. . .

Trader: A bit plain: OK, I could use a newspaper, but other than that. . . Ameican footballer: Not sure why he should have yellow arms. I like the new trophy mold. He is very similar to the Hocky Player though. Cheerleader: A lot worse than the S1 cheerleader, if you ask me. Not impressed by the color scheme on the girl minifigs (except maybe the cowgirl) for this series. Female alien: hmmm. . . no thanks. Never really liked aliens anyway. Only nice piece is the purple flat round stud piece. Conquistador: Love this one! Robot: To much like the S1 and S3 robot/space villans. Bavarian boy: Nice Prezel. Turned out more like a Bavarian Man though. . . Fairy: Never liked fariys any more than aliens. And this one is much less than impressive. Cowgirl: Nice! Just don't like that face too much, but I love the hat! Disk jockey: I'm guessing that the earphones are attached to the hair-piece. I like his face torso - I could use some casual looking minifigs. Manbat: A LOT better than the Monster Fighter manbat. Actually, I think this one is cute! Old style diver: Probably my favorite! Especially with the leads on the bottom of his shoes! Pirate: No parrot. . . Well, he's a good looking pirate, but I'm not into pirates. . . Female skier: Well. . . the skies are nice but I'm not crazy about the color scheme. Santa: Much nicer than the previous santa figs. Like the new hat mold, especially. Ancient Thespis: Actually more a Victorian Era Knight. Might not look bad for the Conquistador's Court-going Dress Love the white collar piece though. . . The arm is the same as the S3 robot arm, though. Personally , I don't really think he's so great but. . . I think this manbat is a lot better than the Monster Fighter ones; he actually seems to be smiling! I'm hoping we'll see a silver/bronze trophy with future series, though.

Is it OK to not do a (or both) side walls for the third catagory? Also, is it alright to do, say, one wall for one picture, and then switch the wall to the other side of the building for the next picture? Basically, does the entire model have to be built at the same time, or may you change it in between pictures? My bricks just arn't the right kind for building walls. . .

Me too. . . I'm hoping its the new sets.

Yeah. Maybe not even that wrong, just enough for the Lego employee to say that they aren't correct.

It does seem like that is the case. . . I think it's too bad that he didn't include black knives instead of grey.
