So how come Hero Factory doesn't rate a proper TV show?
PenPlays replied to pocketmego's topic in LEGO Action Figures
I watch every television length+ show from Lego, and I will continue to do so with the likes of Hero Factory. I have noticed some bit of an improvement, but I still find it a tad shy of the likes of say, Ninjago. I somewhat got into the sets originally, but then I drifted away, in part, due to my lack of interest in the story. Only recently I realized that story doesn't matter, and I'm slowly starting to warm up to the sets. Hero Factory sets aren't just at the top of my list, and I don't believe the story will push it up any further for the time being. I also would like to say that, if something is fantastic, give it a sweeping saga (i.e. Dragon Ball and all of its iterations, Adventure Time, Star Wars). Bionicle was fantastic. It may have been a little overwhelming, but every time I look over the story lines on BS01, the excellently structured Bionicle wiki , I lose myself in how massive and gorgeous that universe was. I can see Lego re-booting it, although only vaguely mentioning the previous storyline, but this is not the thread for that. Now, if they made a movie off of Hero Factory (with a popular, and capable movie writer) and a better, much more workable voice-cast, I would pre-order tickets if such options are available (I'll be going to Piece of Resistance opening night, heck). -
Notice: the pieces shown in the corner of the blister pack images aren't included in the set shown on the cardboard insert.

Those pictures are stunning GRogall. The thing that strikes me the most is how basically every single character has a weapon with a build that has never been done before.

I never thought of using the actual leaves of the bamboo leaves that way! How innovative!

It also says all Speedorz are "Buy 2 Get 1 Free!"

I've only been to BrickBldr once, about a year ago to be exact, so no that wasn't me. I won't be able to make to Mt4BWY. Don't forget your 50% off B-Wing!

I absolutely love the walls on this thing. The atmosphere gives it an older look that fits in with the "foliaged" foreground quite nicely. Susan Jr. has the power to please all!

Guilds of Historica Introduction/General Discussion Thread
PenPlays replied to I Scream Clone's topic in Guilds of Historica
I was going to answer that with my Ch VI builds, but we all know how those turned out... Anyway the plan was to combine the story of the Guilds, with two official Lego storylines in one fell swoop with this higher-up villain. Keep in mind that this idea is not at all forgotten, and will be used regardless of Historica's future. -
If you are still in the area, they have 5x6 leaves, wheels AND axles (a first), and 1x4 brown tiles (to name a few). Better hurry in as May the 4th will certainly draw in PAB hoarders.

Avalonia Guild: Homepage, Sign-up and Discussion
PenPlays replied to Derfel Cadarn's topic in Guilds of Historica
Nice job Avalonians. Challenge VI has brought the best out of all of you (don't doubt yourself, Brickington ) You build on the floor!! How do you keep those pieces so dustless!?! I just got home with a large cup-and-a-half of 5x6 leaves from the Pick-a-brick wall! I finally have ample foliage, after a year-and-a-half of waiting! I'm hoping there will still be more later in the month. -

Applause for everyone! Wonderful, wonderful job! I'm disappointed that real life had to kick, but maybe it's for the best. Expect more builds from me sometime in early June. I have to make sure Owlan sails home safely (finally!). -
SQUEEEE! I just got back from the local store with two Large Cups full of 5x6 leaves (and trans-blue 1x1 plates, 6x8 green plates, and a healthy amount of tan 1x2 plates)! I'm stocked on leaves for life!

That is left and right eye. Just to see it in official Lego print makes me have butterflies inside me! *opens hatch on chest to let butterflies free...*

No. Flying monkey. Like from Wizard of Oz. Chalk me up for being curious about the other combiners we haven't seen as well. -
Opinions on stuff we need, and stuff that is destroying LEGO
PenPlays replied to Cardinal's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Wonderful... Another genius who thinks he understands everything from the get go... Every theme mentioned in the destroy list has more potential then anything on that "need" list at the moment. Especially since those themes have no real end for the rest of the year... I suggest you re-read Faefrost's first post on this page for probably the best defense I have seen in this situation since I joined the FOL part of cyberspace as I truly would fail to back myself up trying to do the same. So you openly admit that you are recycling your methods? Good grief! And yes, a fourth for being high. -
I'm excited to hear more info about Professor Layton and the Azran Legacies myself. I have to say that I am so disappointed the Nintendo isn't going to have a big show opening day.

What number? Glad to see that I'm not the only one behind with GoH. It's good to know that you will be at least checking in Niku. -

Wonderful... If anyone in Avalonia is planning on doing anything similar to what Mitgardia has done (or is still doing), please message me. I'd be delighted to join! -
You Germans have such an amazing PAB selection!
-
And hopefully they won't screw up the sound like they did for all of the Region 1 DVDs of the Second Season of Ninjago. (Which reminds me, I should send those DVDs out soon to customer service.)

PenPlays replied to I Scream Clone's topic in Guilds of Historica
If there isn't a deadline as of yet (meaning freebuilds will still be accepted well into the next month), I might have something at the scale of kabel's "mini-blizzard" ready by then. -
Legends of Chima 2013 (Action Figures)
PenPlays replied to DarkSurgeXL's topic in LEGO Action Figures
All of the Constraction figures are available on Toys R Us' website. Only Worriz and Cragger aren't marked up. This means Lego will be getting them soon, so if you can be patient, I'd wait so as not to feed those thieves that the world calls the "biggest toy store." -
Toys R Us added the Chima Constraction figures to their website. Any time now and the sets and Speedorz will be up. Might I remind you all that TRU loves to mark up the prices on all of their sets, so please, don't waste your money with them if you can patiently wait for Lego or any other store to get them.

The summer wave is available on the US Toys R Us site. Everything is marked up, but available for shipping.
