Here is my Interpretation of how I think A Nixel would be built. It uses 17 pieces and I built it to look as close to the artwork as possible. I added the eyes and teeth using paint.net http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/mc/nixel_1.png Parts used http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/mc/nixel_2.png

I'm now ok with the sets being delayed in North America. Now I can check out the Toyfair when the Summer Sets are revealed and truly decide what sets I want. I'm getting all the beast sets but I want to limit what mech sets I get. I want to at least get on of each jumper color. One of each Hero Minifig and One of each container and chair color. I'll be getting at least Stormer Freeze Machine for the Pearl Dark Grey feet and paws unless the summer sets have them. Furno Jet Machine since I like to get every Furno set. And Maybe Rocka's Stealth Machine unless another better set has the green cockpit.

No Hero Minifigs of Nex and Stringer Why Lego?! On an unrelated note there only seem to be 8 variations on the beasts Jaw Beast- Purple and Azure Flyer Beast- Yellow and Azure Large Splitter Beast- Orange and Azure Small Splitter Beast- Azure and Trans Orange Tunneler Beast- Red Crystal Beast- Azure and Yellow? Queen Beast- Unknown color scheme Beast Larva- Red, Orange, Green (The Jumpers)

Either way I'm upset about it. But there's no use complaining I'll guess just have to wait till March then. This wouldn't be as big a deal if only the Hero Factory sets were delayed. But even the new Chima sets are delayed as well and I wanted to get the Legend Beasts for the new ball joints pieces.

Well if Canada doesn't get the new sets in by January 15th then I'm going to assume that they won't be out till March. VBBN if Lego did tell you USA but meant North America that's either stupid of them to confuse North America for USA or there a jerk for including Canada with the USA

Seeing as North America isn't getting the Invasion from Below Hero Factory sets till march. How about they add all the new molds made in the winter 2014 Hero Factory wave. That way us in North America can play around with the pieces while we wait. Also these pieces I want added All Chima Ultrabuild Heads All Super Hero Ultrabuild Heads The new ball and socket joints used in the upcoming Mixels and Legends of Chima Legend Beast sets Power functions battery box http://www.bricklink...m.asp?S=88000-1 or http://www.bricklink...em.asp?S=8878-1 Power functions train motor http://www.bricklink...tem.asp?P=x1688 or http://www.bricklink....asp?P=87574c01 This part http://www.bricklink....asp?P=x1192px2

Just found out that North America won't be getting the new Hero Factory sets till March. That includes Canada. So VBBN was not completely right about only the US getting the new sets in March When I found this out this was my reaction

I was wondering if there was a way to remove bricks from LDD. I want to remove bricks that are technically doubles. Aka bricks that have updated versions. Like removing brick 1x2 without bottom tube http://www.bricklink...Item.asp?P=3065 I would only use brick 1x2 with bottom tube in my builds http://www.bricklink...Item.asp?P=3004 So I have no use for brick 1x2 without bottom tube. If its not possible. Can I instead create a custom pallete to select from only bricks that I use

I really really hope they don't include Canada in with the US in terms or releasing Hero Factory. I will be really upset if Canada gets the Sets in March instead of January like the rest of the world. Only US was said to get the sets in March.

I agree that the prices are higher due to minifigures. Making molds for new minifigure parts can be expensive. I just hope the new sets appear on the Canadian shop at home soon.

Though I wonder. If one of each of the 8 main tribes is going into the outlands. Why are there 2 rhinos? Did Rogon take Rhiona. or is Rhiona banished like Lavertus?

Is that technic axle the same one as this http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=87083 Or is it this axle but with a stopper http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=32073 Edit: Thanks Draik fixed the links

I cut the back of stringer and nex's helmets open so I could attach the visor to the brain attack head

I feel like the Alternate Rocka mech and the Surge mech are one set that combines.

Looks to be an exo force arm and maybe the minifig chainsaw piece?

What egg like piece would they fit in then? Tridax Pods?

VBBN since you have the mini kaiju can you see if they can fit into the galaxy squad egg pieces? Or do you not have any galaxy squad sets?

Despite the game not featuring Nex or Stringer. There is still as chance we will get them a minifigures. The character on the left looks a lot like Stringer. http://www.flickr.co...bn/11228036703/ I don't see how it could be anyone else. The character has a black helmet and black armor. Perhaps Stringer and Nex were omitted from the game since in the sets they don't have a mech and will only be in the versus beast sets. And only the characters who got mechs get to be in the game.

The cape isn't from Furno XL. Its a custom cloak I had made for the figure.

Thanks and as for the color errors. Those are the colors I like to use since to me they matched there real life counterparts. Besides people should know what actual parts to use if they decide to build it in real life. A real life version can be made. I just didn't want to order parts to make a proper real life version since I had no intention of getting the actual Jet Rocka set. Though I've changed the .LXF file so the proper colors you mentioned are used.

This is my Revamp of Jet Rocka. I've built the actual moc in LDD. I also made a half built version in real life as well. The real life version is just to show the new functions that the LDD one can't show. .LXF file http://www.brickshel...ocka_revamp.lxf Gallery when public http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=537362 Changes from original set 1. Swapped trans green windscreen for larger trans clear windscreen. (Windscreen won't attach in LDD but I will in real life) 2. Modified wing unfolding gimmick. It also makes the jet engines move. 3. Changed handle to add stand so Jetpack can stand on its own when Rocka isn't attached. Stand folds up and extends handle to be held better. 4. Changed Rocka to be built the same as his bag set. Only things changed are removal of silver and both shoulders have armor 5. Zamor blasters can be moved up and down (Similar to LEGOJANG's JET NEX) 6. Red short beam handle replaced with longer blue one Real Life pics (Not actual revamp. Just to show functions) Front- Cockpit open http://www.brickshel...t_rocka_001.jpg Front- Cockpit closed http://www.brickshel...t_rocka_002.jpg Front- Wings extended (Wings can't be locked open.

This is my Self Moc. His name is Artemas the sorcerer. He is a hermit who lives in a cave in a distant forest. (This Moc is 99% purist. The tail and spike piece are the only custom parts. Tail has a ball joint glued on and the spike piece is painted silver.) http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Artemas/artemas001.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Artemas/artemas002.jpg His magical power comes from his large Jeweled staff. The staff is capable of giving Artemas these powers. 1. Short teleportation (The exact same powers as the Kualsi mask of quick travel) 2. Levitation to float over objects. Only for 3 minutes 3 shooting elemental blasts of energy. Includes, Fire, Ice, Lightning, Wind, Shadow and combinations of any of them. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Artemas/artemas010.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Artemas/artemas011.jpg His staff has an axe on the other end. The staff can split in two and Artemas can use the Battle Axe separately. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Artemas/artemas009.jpg Artemis is very territorial about his forest. He drives anyone who enters his forest away. People treat this as mean and selfish but Artemas does if for another reason. You see Artemas used to be a kind sorcerer who socialized with many. But one day Artemas went on a quest to slay a demon that was terrorizing a town. Artemas managed to kill the demon but a heavy price. The demon cursed Artemas before dying. On the night of a Full moon. Artemas transforms into a demon himself. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Artemas/artemas012.jpg (Full transformation pics in gallery) http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Artemas/artemas025.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Artemas/artemas029.jpg In his demon form Artemas is nothing more than a mindless wild beast driven on instinct. He hunts for food in his forest. It doesn't matter what he finds. He'll kill it for food. Be it animal or otherwise. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Artemas/artemas030.jpg In demon form Artemas possesses enhanced strength and agility, long razor sharp claws, Increases sense of smell and hearing and the ability to fly. His only real weakness is that in demon form he only has one eye so he can't see very well. Also he is very sensitive to noise so if he hears a very loud noise he will fall to the ground into a fetal position. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Artemas/artemas030.jpg The morning after the night of the full moon Artemas wakes up, usually covered in the blood of whatever he killed. Artemas tries to one day rid himself of the beast withing. If not find a way to control the beast within.

Looking at these pictures. I have an idea on how to build scaled up versions of the mini kaiju. But it requires that I get one the the beast sets first since I need there heads as a base to start. I've already made a scaled up version of the one of the heroes in the movie in LDD. I chose to do Breez since she was the first one I saw in the trailer

Since the USA won't be getting the Hero Factory Invasion from Below sets till march. Lego should add all the new molds to Ldd early so those in USA can play around with the new pieces.

Has anyone tried adding printed legs from the other ninja suits to replace the solid colored legs on the newest ninja? To see if any match the best. Like adding the legs from Lloyd ZX to Lloyd from Overborg Attack
