  1. I can't believe this is even a discussion. I like both and own both, but the elf is more important. Only yellow male elf, great unique parts including a fantastic shield and great printing.
  2. This is great! Fits the spirit of what you were going for and the final result is the right kind of curvy, which we all know can be tough. Nice work.
  3. Hazmat guy is a really good fig, but if he wins the whole thing I'm going to be very disappointed.
  4. Indeed it is, though I think the knight has extraordinary printing. It's really very good. That said, I had to vote for the Elf. He's just got an iconic factor that the knight can't match. Very tough choice.
  5. I like Red Dwarf, but there's no way in hell.

    It was fun to empty, that's for sure.
  7. This one was tough. As far as Frightening Knight Vs. King, it came down to this: King is important, with a game changing hair/crown piece and a nice unique cape. But that's it. The Frightening Knight by contrast, has truly incredible printing and a great application of the new shield. Couple that with army building potential, and I had to go with the knight. I didn't feel good about it, but I had to go with my heart.
  8. Based on previous comments, I doubt that. Rather, I think he's just giving us some good natured ribbing, which I appreciate. My comment was meant to be playful, not come off as genuinely hurt.
  9. I can't believe the bagpiper is winning against the queen. I mean, he blows for a living.
  10. Nice build. I like the green smoke. Reminds me of Skyrim a bit.
  11. Princess is losing? Some boring chef vs an awesome new headpiece and adorable kissy face print. C'mon guys.
  12. Oh my sweet Rogue. I was really hoping to see him in the final 4. It's just such a great minifig. Oh well.
  13. Fantastic level of ruin to this. Very nicely done!
  14. That's a great point. Precisely why the Gargoyle was the only one I had any real use for from that series. Though I bought the Zombie Pirate too just because he was cool.
  15. My submission is for a dead horse suit. The costumed characters are a fun novelty 1 or 2 at a time, but too much for a whole series.
  16. As far as King vs Roman, it boils down to this: The Roman is great, and a wonderful army builder, but the King represents a long overdue update to one of the original classics. The crown piece that we had for 30+ years was woefully inadequate. the CMF king brought a truly stellar hair/crown piece to the game, and that is transcendent.
  17. This round is a good indication of how fun and brutal this game is going to get. We're all going to have to vote against some figs we love. The last 8 or 16 are going to all be really strong.
  18. Wow, it's getting tough. King edges out Roman Soldier but Frightening Knight crushes the competition.
  19. *sigh* If not for Itaria's CMF contest, I'm not sure what else is keeping me around here. There's nothing on the horizon for me in the next year+. I'm going to go work on my hot rod instead.
  20. I think we would all prefer that. Any suggestion aside from that is grasping at straws with the understanding that something is better than nothing.
  21. As discussed, eventual discounts do not necessarily = poor seller. The Exosuit also got a lot of good press, which is a nice intangible benefit that shouldn't be ignored. Seems to me that there is plenty of room for experimentation as far as that kind of thing goes. A 200-300 piece experiment set with some new heraldry but no new molds would be a low-risk chance to gauge interest. If it was even halfway-decent, I know I'd be in. It wouldn't even have to be something as novel as a MMV. Rehash the old joust like 6083, re-color the latest CMF king and queen and give us knights with new heraldry and everybody would freak out in the best kind of way. It'd also be an outstanding nod to the 40 years of Castle.
