Ninja DB looks spendy! Wait... Consumer is "braucher" in German (according to Google Translator) Direct is direkt in German... Direkt Bracher? = Direct Consumer... Could it be!! It is in NZD though. So it may just be another $100+ set, but in the Winter Wave?

41073-The Magic Bakery... (if my very bad German skills are working at least somewhat properly ) Nice to see that the elves are getting love. Curious if Farran and Naida are characters or tribes/groups of elves.

Oh no... Here come the "old Lego Agents character is returning!!!" thing again. Antimatter...hmm This lineup sounds just as wonderful as this year's. Eurobricks, your new Duke is here (WOW 2,000 posts)!

Pythor is at it again! HALLELUJAH!!!! All credit and thanks goes to our wonderful friends at TTV!

I'm crossing my fingers for more Legend Beasts. I need my Tiger and Bear to go with my Lion (Oh my!) What does PT mean, out of curiosity? If you all wish to be spoiled the TV series, Tormak's Shadow Blazer includes...

Be aware that the NZD prices are drastically inflated in comparison to US/UK. Using a converter still gets you a conversion of the inflated price. Something between ten and twelve dollars/pounds could be over $20 in New Zealand. So basically our predicted prices are about right. How should we all celebrate!

Not to mention that the Pic of the Day for today also features the spectator mode that, as of now, we've only had a leak of. Yes the leak and the PotD are identical in design. I don't know if any of you know this, but with the Pic of the Day that featured details about the sound room, free samples of some songs were added here to the official website. For those of you who are curious as to what the "Pic of the Day" (PotD) is, the developer of the new Smash, Masahiro Sakurai, adds a new picture(s) with informational details every weekday to Miiverse. You can find the updates as they come here, or you can check out this repository.

The leaker was a member of Nintendo of America who was supposed to be sending info to the ESRB. He has been fired and is being sued by Nintendo. The leaker is still in possession of the 3DS version of the game. Now... if any of you were still skeptical, that's about as official as it gets.

We have no screenshots proving it's legitimate, but it is something! Perhaps you mean 8 alternate costumes/pallet swaps? In the imgur leak, there is a trophy confirmed for Larry in the Koopa Clown Car. And they (thankfully) won't be taking out tons of character slots (a la Mario Kart 8). I can go with this. Also, to clarify: Larry, Morton Koopa Jr., Wendy, Iggy, Roy, Lemmy, and Ludwig von Koopa are "The Koopalings" The green, red, and blue "Mini Bowsers" from the Mario Party series are "The Koopa Kids" Neither of them are to be confused with Bowser Jr. Just an FYI

Nintendo of America has asked Youtube that the leak videos be removed due to copyright. Ladies and gentlemen, we have our official Smash Bros. WiiU/3DS roster!

Our leaker strikes again! Regarding Dark Pit. To put it simply he's a flawed clone of Pit made from the wish granting powers of the Mirror of Truth (this all occurred in Kid Icarus Uprising. This is not a major spoiler ). In the game, Dark Pit's attacks are much more damaging than Pit's. Dark Pit can also can fly, unlike Pit who needs assistance from the gods. Dark Pit commonly wields the weapon fittingly named the Dark Pit Staff, an item that works as a moderately strong club, as well as a sniper rifle. Regarding the fact that Pit's abilities in Smash are centered around his blades (the Palutena Bow, as they are collectively called. He also wields the Upperdash Arm for his side special attack in new Smash), and due to the outrageous amount of weapons to choose from in Kid Icarus Uprising (the Dark Pit Staff being the most likely), Dark Pit has the potential to be his own separate character who, despite looking like a clone, could have his own style of play that shows little similarity. EDIT: After looking at the Dark Pit Screenshot from our new set of leaks, he is very clearly holding the Dark Pit Staff.

I think we may have leak confirmation... Judging by the names of the videos, the leaker isn't being very subtle. EDIT: Nintendo of America has asked Youtube that the leak videos be removed. Ladies and gentlemen, we have our official Smash Bros. WiiU/3DS roster!

Hate to double post, but we have some nice info from some new scans from a Japanese magazine. You can find the images and a translation here. There's plenty of information here, but only one detail really stands out: Meta Knight appears to be unchanged from Super Smash Bros. Brawl

I just finished LoK in a week. The first book was wonderful in it's own way. Book 2 fell somewhat short compared to Book 1. It was good though, not something to abandon the series over. Book 3 however... WOW! It's been a long time since I've been thoroughly invested in a character outside of an Anime. Book 3 took some daring risks. The payoff was unbelievable, and I cannot wait for Book 4.

"Adam Howden favorited your tweet" Now that is how you tease... or troll for that matter. For those of you who aren't exactly sure as to who Shulk is: Here's the wiki page for him (SPOILERS AHOY!)

It's a very awesome nod to Metriod Zero Mission. She dons her "Justin Bailey" outfit (Zero Suit) as fans tend to call it. It has caused a lot of controversy over her over-sexualization, a discussion which is better suited for a forum other than Eurobricks as they tend to get heated really fast.

We may have evidence that all of these images are legit. Of course, nothing stops a person from lying, so whether this is officially proven remains to be seen.

The origin of the leak includes a screen that shows a Mii Fighter/Character select menu. By the looks of it, due to the wide customization of the Mii Fighters, they require their own character select menu. This is still a leak though. So we'll just have to wait and see for sure. There's also a tentative list of DLC characters... I, again, recall an official source saying that there would be no DLC, but, again, I can't find a direct source.

The roster leak looks like an excellent lineup! TL;DR Color me hyped if this is true!

Managed to snag Braptor's Wing Striker and Banana Bash on sale (Seriously, don't buy your Speedorz until Amazon has them for 30%+ off. It's a money saver!) The Wing Striker has a HORRIBLE price point ($15. Should have been around $10-$12) It's priced by size rather than quality (the part count is fine). Sure the wing clamp system works well, and comes with two very nice minifigs, but the little bat jet, while swooshable, is too open and really has little playability. Not to mention a "handle" (the part of the vehicle where you grip at it and activate it's function) is built for child sized hands. My fat mitts grip can't fit on the back "engine," but what can I say, the set wasn't designed for someone my age. Banana Bash looked really bland when I first glanced at it. I was surprised to find out that the game is rather fun (unlike 2013's Croc Chomp) and simple (unlike 2013's Nest Dive). You would have thought that with the Spring wave of Speedorz they would have updated the actual Speedor vehicle in some sort of way. No complaints though, as the little bikes were a genius idea at their conception.

We are now two episodes into the season! To put it simply, I think we could speak of these episodes in their entirety, as the show has literally gone no where from the end of "Season 2." The only new thing besides the obvious rise of Sir Fangar's Hunters is Eris' "Fire Dreams." Her reactions do seem a bit over the top, and Cragger's teasing is far too childish for his character (even though, oddly enough, Cragger and Laval are still children who like to play "fun games." It's time to get a grasp on their ages, writers. If they have their own cars, they aren't exactly children, are they...). There also seems to be a consistency issue from the first season. I greatly recall the wide use of CHI during one of the major Speedorz races in Season 1. Gorzan's reaction to Cragger and Laval using CHI during the Speedorz race in the episode "Fire Dreaming" seems to contradict that. Just something I noticed.

And now that we have Meta Knight, I'm all set for returning Challengers. The 3DS version releases next month in Japan. We will soon have the complete lineup of characters!

It's not presumable. Lego will be releasing at least one set as part of a new Pirates line. If Ninjago were to have pirates at the same time, obviously one line would sell better than the other...

Saw Series 3 at Fred Meyer's tonight in Redmond, OR. The display case is Dark red. Almost lost it among the Super Heroes sets, it matched so well! I decided not to pick them up for now, as they are not quite high on my priority list at the moment. Happy hunting!
