Good Cragger Fan

For those people (them including myself) who have seen the "Warrior Within" episode (episode 3), I have 2 questions: Do you think that Laval threw the Chi orb into the Gorge of Eternal Depth (it is the same place/cave/hole that Crominus and Crunket fall down in the first episode, and thus Crominus and/or Crunket can and/or will escape the place/cave/hole by them using this Chi orb, if and when they do find it), or did Laval threw it down a different hole? If Laval threw the Chi orb down the same place/cave/hole that Crominus and Crunket have fallen into there -- would this mean that Laval have helped save Crominus and/or Crunket from certain doom indirectly there, and thus Crominus and/or Crunket would join the Lions' side in the war against most of the other Crocodiles, especailly Crooler (and maybe, just maybe, Crominus and/or Crunket would put a stop to Cooler in hipnotising Cragger, and thus Cragger would also join the Lions' side of the war as well, as he was best friends with Laval, the Lion Prince, after all); or would Crominus and/or Crunket would not be thankful for Laval in throwing down a Chi orb, for it was to be out of the Crocodiles' possesion, which was Laval's intention, after all?

Even if this set is a fake one (and the real one is a polybag of one of the Wolf tribe members), they (both Wolves and Rabbits) are bad characters!

I am not amused by this "joke" that lasted far, far longer than it should have here, for me to say the least! Next time, I want for you people to please, please not let April Fool's Day jokes last longer than a couple of days at the very most.

First and foremost, my so-called "random" bolding and underlining of phrases is not random at all there. I only bold a word or phrase when I want to emphasise it; I only bold and italicise a phrase when I want to really emphasise it; I only bold, italicise and underline a phrase when I really, really want to emphasise it, and I only type in all captial letters, bold, italicise and underline a word or phrase when I really, really, really want to emphasise it. (Besides, I am absolutely furious in how the LEGO Company treats the only reptile tribe, the Crocodiles, in the land of Chima! ) Second, on [blog=www.kingdomofchima.com][/blog], on the very first blog entry back in December of last year, it mentions that there are barbaric tribes who "lured" the Wolves, Ravens and Crocodiles to their evil cause, as the barbaric tribes failed to accomplish their evil goals the first time around on their own. Could it be that the Beavers are one of the Barbaric tribes, or are they just another animal warrior tibe in the land of Chima who became evil in personality and character, just like the other three tribes did there? Is at least one of the barbaric tribes even more powerful than even the Crocodiles (or at the very least, as powerful as the Crocodiles) and thus could replace the Crocodiles [except Crooler -- she is one very nasty and crafty Crocodile tribe member, and I could very easily see her turn against the entire Crocodile tribe, even against Crug and Crawley, should they (and the Lions and their (current) allies) ever find out that she is the one who is truely responsible for the war and not Cragger, as he has been hipnotised by her to do her bidding!)] as the main antagonists? Only time (and us seeing more episodes of the Legends of Chima TV series that feature the Beavers) will tell us! Also, if barbaric tribes are introduced into the land of Chima, of course there will be some foreshadowing and set-up in the Legends of Chima TV series' future episodes. (I personally think that there is already a bit of a set-up and/or foreshadowing there that has already occurred in the first episode of the TV series -- when King LaGravis said to King Crominus, "There is no need for bad blood between our tribes.", and King Crominus replied to King LaGravis by him saying, "Yes, there has been enough of that in the past." (this is in the scene where they were having an arguement over LaGravis in and zapping Cragger with a laser ray gun to stop the uncontrolable actions of Cragger when he stole and used a Chi orb from the sacred pool of Chi in the Lion temple and then chaining him up, there) -- so this could mean that King LaGravis and, especially, King Crominus were referring to a previous war that is between them (and all of the other non-barbaric tribes (them including the Crocodiles, Wolves and Ravens) in the land of Chima) and the barbaric tribes, which probably took place before Laval was even born then.) Finally, the "The Joyride" episode of the show has already been shown in one English-speaking country, and that counrty is Singapore. (The country of Singapore has English as one of the main spoken Languages (it being along with Malay, Chinese and (perhaps) Hindi.) Also, I could whine and complain about me (and us) waiting so long until the "The Joyride" epissode is to be aired in the US and Canada, to the people who work at Cartoon Network and/or Teletoon (and I might just do so!). "Wall E2624", I believe that the Rhinoceroses will be good characters and will be on the Lions' side in the war, thus will sign a peace treaty with the Lion tribe. I'm saying this because if you watch part 1 of the "The Joyride" episode on Youtube, when Lagravis and two of his soldiers visit the Rhinoceroses' territory -- you will see one of the Rhinoceroses puts a Chi orb in his (or her) chest; then a blue Rhinoceroses avatar (or Power Warrior) (a blue avatar (or Power Warrior) of a Chima animal warrior means a good character, and a red avatar (Power Warrior) of a Chima animal warrior means a bad character) of himself (or herself) appears there for a brief second before it disapearing completely there, and then the Rhinoceros rams himself (or herself) into a large rock. By the way, does anyone know why, when Cragger uses a Chi orb for the very first time, his Crocodile avatar (Power Warrior) first is blue then changes to red about a second or so later on from then? Here is an edit: An animal warrior's avatar is his (or her) Power Warrior.

As a sequel to the Legends of Chima: Laval's Journey video game, TT Games should release, in the future (probably not until 2014 or 2015), another video game that takes place inside the land of Chima but have Cragger as the main hero. The game could be called "Legends of Chima: Cragger's Adventures". The story would revolve around in Cragger stopping Crooler, Worriz, Rawzom and the Beavers from taking over the land of Chima and must rescue Laval, Eris and Gorzan from them. What do you people think about this idea of mine? Here is an edit: I just found out, via EB Games Canada, that the Nintendo DS and the Sony Playstation Vita versions of the Legends of Chima: Laval's Journey video game are due to be released on or about June 1 of this year (but I'm not sure on when the Nintendo 3DS version of this game is due to come out in North America, so if anyone here has the release date, could they let the rest of us know, here? ).

Well, he said he hated Chima. Still, his post made no sense either way. This is me going off-topic here: For the record, I really like the Legends of Chima theme and thus do not hate it. It is just that I really, really like anthromorphic (and real) reptiles and thus the Crocodile tribe, especially Cragger and Crominus (but not Cragger's sister, Crooler -- I really, really, really DESPISE her, for her in hipnotising Cragger via an orchid to do evil things , like destroy his (former) best friend, Laval, his allies and family and steal all of their Chi orbs ), as the Crocodile tribe is the only reptile tribe in the land of Chima as of right now (and for the forseeable future, if not for the entire life span of the theme). Thus, I really, hate it when LEGO stereotypes all of the Crocodiles as evil (via the red backgrounds that are benind the close-up pictures of the Crococdile minifgures on the LEGO sets' box art -- a red background means that the minifigure that is in question on the LEGO set box art is a villain (or villainess), whereas a blue background means that the the minifigure that is in question on the LEGO set box art is a hero (or heroline) -- in the Legends of Chima books' discriptions of the Crocodile tribe), rag-tag warriors (via their tattered capes and torn clothing in being printed on their torsos and legs), when only some of the Crocodlies are actually villains, in reality, like Crooler and Cragger (only when he is hipnotised by Crooler's orchid), while some of the other Crocodiles, like Crominus, Crunket and Cragger (when he is not hipnotised by Crooler's orchid), are actually either heros (or herolines) or neutral, in reality, in the land of Chima, so I find it very insulting to the Crocodile tribe (and all anthromorphic reptiles, for that matter, especially in LEGO minifigure form) that the LEGO company protrays them all as rag-tag bad characters in the land of Chima!! This is me going back on-topic here: This "Ameribricks" thing has gone on long enough here. Therefore, I strongly think that the Administators and Moderators should (figuratively) come clean here and tells us the truth about whether this is an April Fool's joke or not an April Fool's joke, so we can put this matter to rest once and for all time's sake! Also what is a "'Murican", "TrumpetKing", if you don't mind me asking you?

The red background on the picture of the Rabbit minifigure on the right side of the polybag tells us that he (or she) is a villain (or villainess).

I not only look for the colour of the Lions' hair on their manes to differentiate between, for example, Leonidas, Longtooth and Lennox, but I also look at what the torso print is there on the Lions that are in question there. (Leonidas' and Lennox's torso look almost the same there, except for the fact that Lennox's torso has two belts that are printed on him (one belt that is intersecting on a 45 degree angle but not crossing the other one, which is perpendicular to the other one, thus also on a 45 degree angle), whereas Leonidas' torso has only one belt on him that crosses his torso on a 45 degree angle.) "CM4S", I cannot calm down here (and move on from my issues in how LEGO and M2Films treated the Crocodile tribe as a whole, especially with on how they treated Cragger's character and personality) until Cartoon Network (in the US) and Teletoon (in Canada) have shown the entire episode of "the Joyride" -- as I strongly believe that this episode is the last episode of the pilot episodes (it even says that it is the last episode in the trailer of this episode that was uploaded to YouTube from the Okto TV channel in Singapore), and thus a proper conclusion to the current story arc with Laval and his allies in fighting against Cragger and his (current) allies for Chi. (That is the case, unless I and/or someone else here finds an upload of Parts 2, 3 and 4 (if Part 3 does not end at the end of the closing credits part of the episode) and/or an upload of the entire episode of "The Joyride" episode on YouTube (and/or any other free video-sharing website), with the dialogue of the characters in the English lanuguage, and Cragger gets redeemed by the end of "The Joyride" episode.) Furthermore, it is extremely unfair that Singapore, via the Okto TV channel, gets to air "The Joyride" episode, with the dialogue in the English language, (probably) much sooner than Cartoon Network (and thus Teletoon but a couple days later on from the US airing of it) in the US (and Canada) will get to air it!!! Thus, why this is the case, and what is the holdup (i.e., what is keeping them from airing it now or very soon from now?)??? I'm saying this because they (Cartoon Network and Teletoon) should be airing this soon, not just a week before the official start of "Season 1" begins in the summer, as "Season 1" will (probably) have a completely brand new story arc, with brand new tribes and/or characters and, more importantly, new villains (LEGO and M2Films in having Cragger (and most of the other Crocodiles) as the main villains gets boring after a while, so the introduction of new main villains (and/or villainesses) should be in order there). Thus, there would be brand new characters in minifigure form and Speedorz (as well as existing characters in minifigure form) in brand new sets (vehicles and important locations) in January of 2014 -- otherwise there is not much point in LEGO having new sets and Speedorz next year, as most of the existing vehicles (and some of the most important locations) of the Lions, Eagles, Gorillas, Crocodiles, Wolves and Ravens have (or will be the case, as of this summer) been released already by LEGO.

This is a warning that I am going into rant mode (and am very emotional in feeling) here: I say "amen!" to this!, as I really, really, really DO NOT like to be mentally HELD HOSTAGE by Cartoon Network (in the US) and Teletoon (in Canada)!! This is because, me in only seeing 6 minutes and 26 seconds of "Episode 4: The Joyride" of the Legends of Chima and having for me (and most other people on here) to wait who knows how long in length of time (probably 3 to 4 months into the future, it meaning late July or sometime in August) is just not good enough here!!!; and "Episode 4: The Joyride" is, I strongly believe here, the pilot season's final episode, so I must see what happens to Cragger, such as will he ever break free of hipnosis from Crooler's Orchid and finally see the error of his ways, and us seeing Cragger's redemption and join the Lions (and rebuild his friendship and trust with Laval) and their allies against Crooler (and maybe most of the other Crocodiles, save for, perhaps, his parents), the Wolves, Ravens and Beavers, so a new chapter in the Legends of Chima TV series can begin there, as the official start of "Season 1" of the TV series, with a new, main antagonist such as Crooler?!!! I'm going out of rant mode here: As for the Beavers -- since beavers are, in real ilfe, equally at home underwater as they are on land -- could they be the true, evil counterpart to the Crocodiles and that the Crocodiles, for the most part (save for Crooler and maybe a few of the other Crocodiles, especially Crug and Crawley) are actually good characters (and so Crooler and a few of the other Crocodiles are traitors to their kind)?

I have only one relatively small problem with the distibution ratios of the minifigures: It is that there should be 2 less Skydivers than there are there right now, for a grand total of 4 of them, instead of 6 of them, per box (it being based on a box of 60 collectable minifigures), and there should be 2 more Revoultionary Soldiers than there are there right now, for a grand total of 6 of them, instead of 4 of them, per box (it being based on a box of 60 collectable minifigures).

I could not possibly agree with you two members any more than I do now, so I will say 'amen!' to these comments!!! Also, I just joined here about only 6 weeks ago (though I have been lerking on here since late 2005 or early 2006 {me blushing and laughing at the same time}, but I did not feel compelled to become a member here until I discovered that LEGO really messed up with the Legends of Chima theme , back in mid-January of this year, with the TV show's characters versus the same characters in other LEGO media and release schedule of the episodes (it being among other reasons that are COMPLETELY unrelated to the Legends of Chima theme ), so I just had to get these issues of mine out in the open), so I will be extremely disappionted here if the name of the website changes to "Ameribricks", for me to say the least.

Lennox has reddish brown hair on his mane; Leonidas has orangish hair on his mane; Loongtooth has dark brown hair on his mane; and Laval has (new) dark red hair on his mane; and, finally (but needless for me to say here), LaGravis has white and light (or dark) blueish gray hair on his mane -- so they all are distinct enough in pigment for almost anyone to tell the difference, especially with Leonidas' and Lennox's hair on their manes. "krystalKING", do the Beavers have a deal with Cragger (while he is in a hipnotised state), Crooler, Crug and Crawley (and all the nameless, grunt Crocodile animal warriors), or do the Beavers have a deal with Crominus, Crunket and Cragger (when he is not in a hipnotised state)? I'm asking this because: if the Beavers have a deal with the former group of Crocodile tribe members, then the Beavers are bad characters, but if the Beavers have a deal with the latter Group of Crocodile tribe members (especially with Crominus and Crunket), then the Beavers are not necessarily bad characters but might be good characters.

I have a suggestion on how to find tune the rebranging: It is to rename "Eurobicks" to "NorthAmeribricks", or even "NAmeribricks" , "North&SouthAmeribricks" or "N&SAmeribricks" -- as I am Canadian in nationality and don't really appreciate yet another AMERICAN LEGO fan website , whereas there is not even ONE single solditary Canadian LEGO fan website out on the internet (that I know of there ) , me never mind a Mexican or any other Latin American or Carribbean LEGO fan website. (However, if this is an April Fool's joke, then you can disregard the above statement of mine.)

For those people who have seen the entire episode of episode 4 (The Joyride) of the Legends of Chima TV series, could they please tell us if the Beavers are heros or villains? (I want to know this really, really badly here!) Here is an edit: Could those people who know the answer to the above question be specific on who the Beavers are allied to there (preferrably in spoiler tags! )? (I'm meaning specific names of animal warrior tribe members; and if one of them is Cragger, is he in a hipnotised state at that particular time and place, or is he thinking and acting his old, normal self at that particular time and place? )

Can an ambassador please forward these concerns and ideas of mine to the LEGO Group, as I have a huge, huge problem in how The LEGO Group is treating the Crocodile tribe proorly there? I'm referring to more specfically in them stereotyping all of the Crocodile tribe members as villains in the set box art and other media such as books and the official LEGO website, whereas, in fact (at least in the TV series), only Crooler, Crug, Crawley and Cragger (but only when he is hipnotised by Crooler's orchid (flower)) are villains, while Crominus, Crunket and sometimes Cragger are not villains. This is especially bad when the Crocodile tribe in the only reptile tribe that is in existance (at the moment), and in LEGO protraying all of the Crocodiles as villains (and thus all reptiles in general) promotes racism in the land of Chima, which teaches children who watch the TV show and/or play with the toys that racial profiling, which is a hate crime in real life, by the way in many parts of the world, is okay there when, in reality, it is not okay there. Therefore, I really strongly thing a change is in order, such as LEGO introducing a brand new reptilian tribe that is on the good side! I'm hoping for a response from LEGO on this matter. I thank you.

I am not going out of my way to look for Golden Minifigures. However, if I do find one Golden Minifigure (or even more than one of them! ), and I know almost for sure that it is a Golden Minifigure by me feeling for the parts that set the collectable minifigure polybag that I'm feeling there apart from all other collectable minifigure polybags of that particular Minifigure series in the same store at that particular time, I will most certainly buy it (if I have enough money to spend on one more collectable minifigure after I have found all of the other collectable minifigures that I want in my collection of a particular series). (This is in me assuming that there are no other collectable minifigure polybags that I want and/or need in my collection that are from a different Minifigure series, and at that particular store and at that particular time.)

In the past two months (late January and late February) I got a Kingdoms Chess set, one in each of the two months, at the (semi-local) LEGO Brand Retail Store, for a grand total of 6 Kingdoms Chess sets (one of them is for a trade for the Knights Kingdom (II) Chess set that was released way back in 2005 -- from a son of an aquaintance of mine -- for which I do not have any copies at the moment ), all in being bought at the same LEGO store in the past 10 months. Therefore, I am done with myself in buying Kingdoms Chess sets for good, as I have more than enough Dragon Knight Chess Pawn and Lion Knight Chess Pawn minifigures that are made in China!

I like your Roman, and Greek and Celtic "armies" "MOC", "Pallantides"! As for you in needing a Decanus minifigure, all you need is the Roman Officer minifigure in the (upcoming) Minifigures Series 10, and you're set there! That is very true of what you said here, "UnknownClone", because I still have a Grade 7 Social Studies textbook that shows pictures and discriptions of Roman soldiers in using bow-and-arrows. (I currently use them in some of my Roman Legionary minifigures and will use them in some of my (future) Roman Commander minifigures from the (upcoming) Minifigures Series 10!)

As for "battlepacks" ( I prefer the term "minifigure packs"), I would really love to see a Rohan soldier "battlepack". It should consist of the following LEGO minifigures and other parts: 2 archer foot soldiers, with a reddish-brown quiver and reddish-brown bow-and-arrow (that are NOT made in China!) for each archer, and the exact same torso, hands, arms, hips and legs combination that is found in the archer foot soldier in the Uruk-Hai Army set; 2 spearmen, with the type of spear that is found in the Tribal Chief minifigure in Minifigures Series 3 (the spear elaborate type of spear, not the classic castle spear, so it is the same style as the spear in the Uruk-Hai Army set and so matches it, but the colour doesn't really matter to me); the exact same green, round shield that the Rider of Rohan has in the Uruk-Hai Army set (I forgot his name, so what is his name? ) for each spearman, and the same torso, hands, arms, hips and legs combination in terms of design, prints and colours as the 2 archer footsoldiers; 1 Rider of Rohan, with the sword that is found in the Evil (Boar) Knight minifigure in Minifigures Series 7 but in a lighter gray colour; the same shield as the 2 spearmen in terms of design, print, shape and colour, and 1 (I guess, the new style of ) horse in either white or brown; and any LEGO brick-building elments that are necessary for LEGO to be allowed to release this set without it breaking any contract rules with Peter Jackson and/or the Tokien Estate, and/or the production company and/or the distributors of the Lord of the Rings movies (in addtion to LEGO making some sort of model that doesn't just contain minifigures and/or animals that goes with the minifigures and horse).

There better damn well be at least a couple of minifgures, or I will not buy this set at any price that retailers and LEGO could possibly be selling it for there (this includes sales of 50% off, as it is extremely unlikely that it would ever go for less than half price, it given the fact that it is a Direct-to-Consumer release by LEGO Direct). (That is the case there, unless there are a lot of minifigure weapons and/or minifigure headwear and/or bodywear in hard to find or never-before-seen-by-us colours or even common colours, instead of full minifigures.) "KristofBD" said, "Well then they taped the designer video very early. But may be that's just wishful thinking of me :)". About this quote, if that really is the case, then why doesn't LEGO have us in being able to watch it right now online somewhere?!

I, personally, do not care for this helmet, either, as it is not a traditional, non-fantasy LEGO Castle helmet. Only the bullet helmet; the classic and modern basic space helmets with the oldest two versions of knight visors (the one that came out in 1978 (for the classic basic space helmet) and the one that came out in 1990 (for the modern basic space helmet)); the grill face helmet; the helmet with nose guard and neck protector, and even the wide brimmed helmet that came out in 2000 in Knights Kingdom 1 and the Great Helm from Kingdoms are considered traditional (or tradtional-like), non-fantasy LEGO Castle helmets. However, I am really pleased to see that the Red Dragon Knights also have the helmet with nose guard and neck protector in black , that probably will not be made in China like the one that came with the old-style Black Falcon foot soldier minifigure from the Bricktober minifigure magnets in 2010, as headgear in some of the Red Dragon Knights foot soldiers!

I try downloading it, and it didn't work there -- so what kind of instructions is it: is it a video type of building instructions, or is it the normal type of building instructions that are in a .pdf format, like the ones for the replacement building instructions on LEGO.com?

This is why I dlslike for-profit companies in general and like non-profit organisations (or companies), as they are not greedy in nature like for-profit companies.

Where are you located there (province and city)?

In July of this year, there will be a LEGO Brand Retail Store that is about 10 minutes away from me (by bus!), but when I do go to the Vancouver LEGO Brand Retail Store, I usually only browse the merchandise there most of the time, though I have bought a few Kingdoms Chess sets, Pick-A-Brick cups and a few other things there and plan to get the Kingdoms Joust set this upcoming Friday (I try to go there at least once every month to get the monthly store calendar, as I prefer the paper version as opposed to the online version at LEGO.com -- I don't have my own computer or internet right now), so I am not too worried in spending more money then I do right now.
