    Don't know if anyone has noticed, but Series 18 has been listed as "Sold Out " for several days now... Normally I wouldn't worry, but since it's been several days, the words are red, and this usually happens when a set's production has already ended, I'm a bit worried that the Policeman isn't going to be the only minifig going to expensive for us who haven't even found a box of this series yet.

    Not ones like those. There's the LEGO Life magazine, and product catalogs, but those magazines with the free sets haven't released in the states until, what appears to be, recently.

    Some interesting info regarding that Bionicle-like black blade piece in the Street Race of Snake Jaguar set. in the Action Figures Forum. It's not quite the story you would expect.

    In case we all forgot: 2011-12 Spinners: $10 (Average of 19 pieces per set, but also included a set of playing cards, and a uniquely printed, molded, and weighted spinner) Airjitzu Flyers: $10 (Average of 40 pieces per set. Unique propeller mold, ripcord and launcher, as well as unique minifig prints) Spinjitzu Masters $10 (Average of 69 pieces per set. Unique spinner mold, aforementioned ripcord and launcher, as well as unique minifig prints) So if the Dragon Masters are $15 with an average of 92 pieces, with a brand new wing component, the aforementioned propeller mold and ripcord, with the potential for a brand new launcher mold on top of new minifig prints, that's pretty normal if not better in comparison to most other Spinner-type sets we've had.

    That's just an extension of his kimono. They opted for that instead of printing the design on his legs.

    @TakanuinuvaYou could just Bricklink Nya, as well as buy a Cole/Jay Pod, and just Brasso of the logo on Nya's mask. Boom. Your Nya variant.

    They get taken down by the source the day after. The other channels that stole the vid will have a reckoning.

    Not a problem in the slightest. Those who bother to watch cam-vids are to all collective viewers of NINJAGO, as a pebble falling into the middle of the ocean. Sure, it's displacing space that the ocean could fill, but is anyone going to tell? Besides many people who watched the cam-vids of the season, will eventually watch the season again as it airs. As a practice, it's a no-no, but not even a worthwhile-to-measure portion of the fanbase are using this as their only source for watching the show. The original tweet was also blown way out of proportion.

    Hypothetically speaking, Seasons 3 and 4 make up a total of 13 episodes, like Season 1 and 2 each had before it. Since Season 5 has six episodes, it would be right to assume that Season 6 will have seven episodes. This would bring the episode count up to 52 episodes, meaning that there are still 26 episodes left after the fact, should Netflix stick to the commitment of 78 episodes.

    If it's in the same paragraph they mention top-selling product, I can only assume that it's pretty up there.

    I'm gonna be simple. Droids and Rebels characters.

    The only problem here is that it took people time to appreciate Empire. It wasn't just that it wasn't as much of a commercial success. It took the completion of the trilogy at the earliest for a general consensus to be made on Empire. Saying the inverse is true for TLJ is premature, as much as I know this thread would love that being a concrete thing.

    She's rumored to be in the throne room set, as there's a green-skirted, white haired character sitting dead center. We don't have clear pictures though, so there's no determining whether or not she has a new hair mold/different prints.

    It's... actually to get it into peoples hands while the movie is still relevant. The idea is to extend the relevance in interest as long as possible. It also typically takes longer for movies with box-office issues to produce a physical release.

    Keep in mind that that is what the Stormbringer Dragon looks like combined with BOOST. The actual set without the BOOST looks quite different than what was on display at NYTF

    Well, I mean the retailer catalogs said they arrive in June. That's 1HY, so...

    No one remembers the sixth wave that launched in the late spring/early Summer. I certainly won't. It's when we got the worst set in the entire theme, Mammoth's Frozen Stronghold. I agree that saying NEXO Knights (or CHIMA for that matter) "failed" is completely in the wrong. The fact they lasted for as long as they did certainly means they did something right.

    So was I the only one who saw Zussamengebaut mention that, apparently, LEGO Boost can be combined with the Stormbringer Dragon? I don't quite see how that would work, but I can say that I'm intrigued, and listening.

    Sad to hear the theme is ending. Hope it gets some sort of story send off. Also, since LEGO is currently on the market as to what to do next, we're obviously going to have the "Bring back castle, LEGO!" people popping back in again, I thought I'd remind people that NEXO Knights was a Castle theme (not a space theme, or a sci-fi theme), and, therefore, it’s failure would actually worsen the chances of another Castle theme (traditional, fantasy, or otherwise) showing up anytime in the next two years at minimum. Also, I hate to break it to people, but in the current market, generic Castle just isn't something kids are interested in (LEGO's target market). However, medieval fantasy is probably at an all time high. I believe that, if LEGO were to go for a Castle theme in the near future, their safest course of action should be the elven, dwarven, and orc filled subtheme we've been dying for a revival for since 2008. Though an issue would be theme conflicts with Elves, and some of the concepts of Harry Potter. Or, you know, how 'bout a catchy space theme, or maybe even some Pirates, I dunno.

    Aside from the fact that more than 10 people wrote for this movie at one time or another...

    What Star Fox needs is something able represent it, without relying on controls, or telling the Original Star Fox story for the second third fourth time. A movie would be perfect. My only gripe with Nintendo movies, is the need/want of (Hollywood) star power. I pray DESPERATELY that they get familiar characters with their game voices, but if they plan on using stars, I hope that they are for original characters. I feel changing voice actors for any of the staple characters in any of the (voiced) Nintendo IPs would by reason to stay as far away from a movie like this as possible. But we can hope that they use their brains.

    Actually, they use the movie Bounty in the show now. No idea where they got it, but it's just moored there at the docks. It also, unlike the movie, has a sail transformation for its flight mode.

    Opportunity do so? Yes. Will they do that? No. The thing is though, the original LEGO Movie really tried to dig into the really obscure stuff that FOLs would understand. I can see them making Rocket Racer, whether in just using his name, or developing him as a full character, as the person that the main character is trying to best. It would make may heart sing. But we can't count on them to go that obscure (as much as I'd love it).

    Zarya is my go to in nearly all situations. I do play quite a bit of 76, Winston, and Orisa, with a touch of Symmetra and Genji. When I have to heal (which I try not too) I'm mostly Lucio, though sometimes I play Ana. Sometimes I play Bastion for LOLs too when it makes some sense (i.e. Defense Point A on Anubis) I have to admit, though, I haven't played since the Halloween event last year, so I haven't even touched my five Winter lootboxes or Moira.
