Is go for a different head, but that MOC is just plain EPIC!!

Besides the Battle Pack.. I own the complete Ninjago 2013 wave!! The Warrior Bike is a quite the surprise. Unlike the way it looks on the box, the bike is BIG and I mean longer than the Earth Driller big. The set itself has poor, poor features. The flick fire function is okay, mind you, it's just that they are loose (they aren't the common light bley flick-missles) on a small cartridge. The unforgivable thing here is that there is NOTHING in the back side. The meat of the bike ends at the halfway point, or the cockpit, that is if you can call it a cockpit. When the Stone Warrior is placed standing straight in the cockpit (there is only a 1x2 area for the pilot) he is standing at a 45 degree angle! This is ignoring the fact that the bike has only one handle for steering . This is, however the Stone Army parts pack of this wave. This set includes the most ideal pieces for the Garmamech in "The Last Hope" episode, and will provide you with a handsome Stone Warrior as well. Kimono Jay is excellent, just like the other four kimono Ninja. His Jetpack will suffice, although it is made out of EXTREMELY common pieces (as opposed to Kai's Jetpack in the Rattlecopter set). You also get spare black, and gold Katanas and a black Schimitar (no spare). Overall 6/10:This set is truly a mixed bag when you look at it. It's big (nearly $0.11 per part but the size is of a $20 set), but empty back. It includes awesome Minifigures, but it has next to no functions. Group photo to be announced...

NO!! Not another one!! The closest Walmart that carries toys is over a half hour away and completely out of my way! Add that and the orange Galaxy Squad Mech and you have a very peeved Penkid. Anyone willing to ship those two in particular to me for Wal-mart price + shipping would be gladly appreciated.

I can see Dareth learning Spinjitzu. If that were true, I'd assume him to be the Stone Ninja. Now before you go all "Cole is the Earth Ninja, so how would Dareth be a stone Ninja?" Why don't you ask the earth Toa Onua, and the stone Toa Pohatu? I'm sure they can clear something up... Anyway. I'm really hoping to see the love between Jay and Nya blossom some more, not to mention what will happen with Misako and Garmadon getting back together. Also it would be nice for another Ninja to have a girlfriend.

NO! Really? I've always had this thing against the Lion attack. I haven't seen any good images (nor a sale) to entice me to buy it. I will get it eventually, but I have this feeling that if I wait too long, I'll miss it. UGH! I can't make up my mind!!

You will have to be patient, Summer is the scheduled release. My responses on your points. One: Dying friendships is sad, but aren't we adults who can handle such situations without bringing them up? Second: Worriz does have a hatred for Laval, but I do not see how that would affect his feelings of Cragger. Third:The Cliffhanger was actually quite good, and it was quite resolved. It left me excited about what was going to happen next. Will there be a new battle? A new Legend Beast? Will the Rhino, Bear, Skunk, Fox, or Beaver tribes get involved? The second episode of Ninjago (King of Shadows?) ended in an excellent cliffhanger, but how long did we wait for the official beginning of Season 1? One whole year. Double the maximum amount of time it will take for LoC to begin again. Fourth... Have you read the age limit here? I wouldn't think an adult would share about Lego dreams out of the blue. (although I am sure we all have had some). AND FIFTH!: The release date is smart, and was obviously a collaborative effort between Cartoon Network and Lego for promotion. They want to wait until the entire Legends of Chima theme is fully available so that kids can buy their favorite sets in the series from the get go. Not to mention that they will have the entire 2013 line to choose from after watching the show. If Lego creates a theme with a corresponding TV show, don't you think that they have to consider the most profitable route? I will say that your opinion on Anthropomorphic Reptiles is very valid here, and it would be nice to see how the good guys win. You also never know what the future will bring. Cragger might join with the good side. It just depends on how the story is written.

Regarding Victor, I have a mini army of Sensei Wus. I have the head and beard, and not to mention the hat. However, I will need to give him different garments. It would be disgusting if a (somewhat) proper man didn't have a change of clothes! I intend to surprise a few people with my story... And I will say, Victor won't be dead when Owlan finds him...

So when should we expect the novel?

Regarding Clutch Powers. I was referring to all the set commercials and the complete Power Miners mini-movies and the Space Police III Stop-motion Mission Logs. I loved stumbling on those when I first bought the DVD. In fact I watched those bonus features before I even watched the movie itself.

It's because I proofread it before posting it (which I never do, so I won't lose my idea, which I would do quite frequently if I didn't post, then edit). Anyway. Amazon (US) has a pretty price tag on Cragger's Command Ship. 25% off with Prime shipping, I don't know anyone who could pass this up, besides myself (local Lego convention is coming up. There usually is old Lego sets there that I've wanted for years. I don't want to miss out!).

Reddish brown plates are the dirt of Historica. Underneath every blade of grass, every snowflake, and waaay beneath the sand is soil. Without any reddish-brown plates, there is nothing underneath the earth, and thus, no earth. Avalonia especially needs reddish brown plates because of this, not to mention for different wood techniques.

If I've offended anyone with my pronunciation rant, I apologize. I'm just a grammar freak. You'll notice most of my comments tend to have an edit notification at the bottom.

Sell Zane and Jay. You'll make some money.

You do make a good point. I remember all promos for Transformers Prime before the series began would show Cliffjumper, but if anyone watched the first episode, he doesn't get treated as a main character... He does affect some of the story with Arcee, but other than that, it seems as if he was on the promos just for being iconic among the fanbase. I highly suggest that everyone watch this amazing series. You do not need to be a Transformers fan to enjoy it! Anyway... Back on topic. I'm really hoping for some good bonus features this time around. No one can understand how much I would LOVE to see some "behind the scenes" featurettes, not to mention audio commentary on a few, if not all, episodes. Maybe including that interview with the music department, or maybe an extra feature of the LoC episodes that have aired. Clutch Powers comes to mind whenever I think of Lego bonus features, and I would love to see some bonus features at that scale once again. EDIT: And another thing. What happened to that Ninjago soundtrack that was due by the end of 2012?

^^If you remember in the show, the Speedorz are literally pronounced "Spee-doors." Also all commercials pronounce them the same. I've only heard video reviewers call them "Spee-ders." Why? Because they haven't checked their sources. Same goes with the name puns for several of the Chima characters including: Eglor (Egg-lor), Winzar (Winter+obsessive "z"+scar), Ravens: Rascal, Razor, and Awesome with interchanged/extra letters. If you just take into account the pun, the names come to you quite easily. All except for names like Laval and Worriz. Another common mistake is pronouncing Rizzo, well, "Rizzo." Just like Pizza, there are to z's, and how is Pizza pronounced? "Peet-sa"..."Rit-so" like ritzy with the typical LoC letter interchange.

DANG IT! By the time I head out to the nearest Walmart, they'll be gone already!

You hold on the Speedor, pull the ripcord out while holding it, then while the wheel is rolling, set the Speedor onto a flat surface.

I believe it'z juzt to make the namez look cooler for the target audienze. It's the reason why I call all of the hazards in the Speedor sets "Hazardz." Also the Speedorz combo setup purposefully puts the Nest Dive in the middle just before the Ice Tower, being that you have such a small chance of landing the Speedor on it's single wheel after a jump like that. You use the Nest Dive to jump into the Ice Tower. Being that you also, can't get over to the Ice Tower without fully pulling the rip cord, it eliminates the chances of getting in the nest any way, even if it were easy to land right-side-up.

I sure hope they fixed that sound problem! I wonder why they are making such a big deal with the Serpentine on these DVD covers. I understand on the Volume 1 DVD but that was only Pythor who was already dead by Darkness Shall Rise. Now with the Serpentine's ultimate defeat in The Day Ninjago Stood Still, I really don't see the logic behind this.

A little bit of input for you videos just2good. I suggest reading the "How to play" comic in the back of each of the Speedorz instruction booklets. The point of Nest Dive is to dive into the nest (good luck with that one . Also the little Speedorz attachments are officially called Power-Upz as mentioned in the description here. Also I think I understand the reasoning for the Lennox and Worriz/Winzar Speedorz reuse. Eagles' Castle has a set set number as opposed to a Speedorz set number. Being that the Eagles' Castle will have a different lifespan, it was decided that those particular Speedorz will be included in their own blister packs so that they can be a part of the "initial Speedorz lineup" for 2013. That reasoning is beyond me, but it does give Eglor's Speedor (egg-lor, it's supposed to be a bird pun of sorts) a spotlight, which is most deserving considering it's the best Speedor to date, the "Shreekor 390" (skreek like an eagle cry )

Are we still expecting the next DVD on March 5th? Also, do we know if it will be a "volume 2," or a full season?

Yes, everyone is... working very hard... I haven't caught much of a break for Lego time recently. I see things opening up within the next month, however I truly don't know if I'll be up to the challenge... again. I will try, though! The best Guild must remain on top! Keep on building you tight wearing Soldiers!

:wub_drool: Ahem. Those are Screenshots from the PS Vita version of the game!! (3DS will look a tad granulated, whereas the DS version will be outrageously down-graded). I think I might pre-order this, and it has been a LONG time since I've pre-ordered a game!

Trust me, you will know when we have Croc Hideout pics, Mieko. Threads begin to flare up when new sets are revealed (besides blister packs and Polybags).

With this years sets however, I will need to take apart some of the Ninjago sets. Villain Vehicles are first to go, specifically starting with the Skeletons.
