It's armored, not mechanical. Oddly enough hist colors are somewhat similar to Ronin's.

They definitely could, especially if they decide to find "eco-friendly" materials for their product. You, know their product that's infinitely reusable and defeats said purpose for going eco-friendly, but still spending millions of dollars on it regardless. Having too many themes out would also be an issue as well, especially if there's a shortage in one of their largest markets. Trying to push too hard into the oversaturated mobile market could also bring about some issues. Another issue would be prioritizing the manufacturing of products that aren't in demand, in the place of those that are. Having too many licenses that make no economical/profitable sense (in the long run especially regarding demand) would also be and issue, especially if they got licenses to cartoons that haven't been socially relevant for 30+ years, app games that stopped being popular over 4 years ago (even if they are being developed into movies), and movies that were socially relevant two+ generations ago. It would be even worse if they tried to do that all at once without a second thought... ... Oh, wait... TL;DR Lego is doing too many things at once. They should choose to focus on the Lego System proper, rather than what's painted on them, what they're made off, or whether they interact with other toys. Consistently doing all of these things can make them lose money. If they push too far, there may not be any help trying to save them.

It's on the side of the City Hall portion of the Town Plan set. It's on the 'poster' page of really, really outdated sets. You are really, eagle eyed, NinjaJayNuva. I would never have even noticed it if you hadn't mentioned that it was somewhere!

Again, CM4Sci already confirmed that Ninjago would be a Spring release in the US. Whether that's the case globally, I have no idea.
-
True, but they hold a special place in some of our hearts. They were knock-offs based on super cool designs for Ninjago kits in Lego Universe. May LU RIP.

Star Wars Constraction 2016 Discussion
PenPlays replied to Logan McOwen's topic in LEGO Action Figures
In my opinion, I can see Rey being masked, and Poe wearing his helmet for the sake having less-human molds. Finn will probably be the only human face mold (since we can't have three FO Stormies in one wave... I suppose). I'm also curious how they are going to handle Kylo Ren. Will they make a fabric cape/hood combo, a molded hood with a fabric cape, or helmet only mold with fabric cape? -
Each and every vehicle had purple highlights. It sounds like the Pirates will continue the trend of getting no-purple-baddies every 3 years.
-
I'm very certain it's November 2nd/3rd for the US as well.
-
Fortrex is $100 for sure. And I can't see the Chaos Chariot being any more than $30.
-
I think Sci confirmed that March was the release date. Makes sense, since LEGO is probably going to promote Nexo Knights like crazy. Like bigger than Chima crazy!
-
Honestly, I can see the Castle of Knighton being a $150 set (yet not D2C, like the TFA Millennium Falcon). I mean normally Winter wave sets only reach a price point of $80, yet Fortrex has hit the $100 price point already! Come Summer, they would need to release a set that looks and feels substantially larger than the Fortrex. Think Nindroid MechDragon compared to The Battle for Ninjago City for the substantial difference I mean.
-
"Chef Eclair" by the looks of it. The boxart looks fantastic! The King's Castle in the background though is just begging to be made into a set!
-
In 2015 both waves came out two months early in Europe (January and June, as opposed to March and August in the US). All territories would be provided with the information for these sets regardless if they were coming out in January or March in time for the European release.

Ninjago: Masters Of Spinjitsu TV Show Thread
PenPlays replied to Lance's topic in LEGO Media and Gaming
WOW! So the four armed Garmadon was a planned thing this entire time! It's also interesting that several scenes of this video was used for art in the Ninja Handbook (if I remember right) back in 2011.- 4,591 replies

No. You can re-read the thread. That's why you can go back to older pages.
-
I assume that, if this is the villain's name, he must want to become a Khan, but, sadly, he's... "not-a-khan" I'd leave it with that, but I wouldn't be surprised if that pun was intentional on the writer's part.

Post about Cartoons and Anime you like
PenPlays replied to Peppermint_M's topic in Culture & Multimedia
Now would be a good time to watch the two previous seasons online to catch up. It's a great online series! -
TRON 3... I'll see myself out.
-
Remember: If they don't POOF! (Samukai, Overlord, Kozu) and aren't a robot (Zane and PIXAL), they aren't dead! It started with the Tournament of Elements. Each character is treated as if they have little backstory in media besides the TV show. The TV show will also make few references to earlier episodes from here on out.

Lego Nexo Knights TV Series Discussion
PenPlays replied to DuckBricks's topic in LEGO Media and Gaming
Well... I'll hold my opinion until I see the show. He has less characters to work with, mind you. On the plus side, if this theme fails, they officially have no reason to hire him again! Unless of course they find him too precious an asset. Then Lego needs some sense talkin'... -
I'm certain we established that those "PWR Suits" were fake before Rebooted even started, what, 3 years ago? Ninjago is now the only theme that I have seen no official/preliminary images of, and it's making me antsy. Hopefully we at least find the leak scans soon.
-
This theme was such an excellent opportunity to at least sneak in a good reference. Such a shame.
-
Is that little... wall thing the Library. It looks like it's a containment unit for the book. That's it. Also, why would Lego show off Robin at NYCC if he isn't in any of the main wave of sets (polybags are not part of the initial wave).
-
Ding! Ding! Ding! Good guess. And yes, the "Galactus Cloud" was an odd idea... about as odd as a planet sized giant that consumes planets, but hey, I digress. Your turn, Hulk_Smash
