Maybe the new Hulk would have a removable head like Mungus? The Hulkbuster might be like the Sentinel. Another purple-pants Hulk, but with the logo now, too? And Black Widow should be interesting. Does anyone think the Avengers Tower could be a D2C?

Is the commentary only on the EIA edition? It wasn't worth it to me. 35 dollars at Target, about 50 at Barnes and Noble.- 2,626 replies

LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 12 Rumours and Discussion
8BrickMario replied to Rufus's topic in Special LEGO Themes
If the S12 Jester comes with no accessories, you could always get the BrickWarriors "evil jester" accessories, though how sinister he may be depends on your interpretation and LEGO's description. The brick-built jester staff works well, too, but it would be such a nice way to get a molded one, but after the Riddler, it's not likely. The only times we got custom staffs, they were with Egyptian connotations- the S2 Pharaoh's cobra staff and the staff in Pharaoh's quest used later for Loki.- 1,109 replies

Well, we had the Troll Sorceress and advent calendar Evil Witch from Castle 2007, and Spinlyn in Legends of Chima, but Toxikita's probably the most influential and powerful female villain LEGO has done. I'm thinking the HF is probably a stereotypical evil guy, but I think he may have a hidden history with the Ultra Agents, someone seeking revenge, and the dramatic reveal would show that they know who he is but didn't recognize him... or at least I'd like that. When would we get Wave 2? With the winter sets?

I realized the Tremor Track is actually a recycled idea. Bane's tank in the Super Heroes Batcave was originally going to have fists on the front, but they changed it to a drill. UA gave them the chance to use that concept.

Well, GotG sets are more likely due to the whole FF disaster discussed a few pages back.

I found a lone Attack of the Wargs at a TRU today. Very pleased with it, especially since it's been discontinued for a while!

Maria Hill and Coulson were the S.H.I.E.L.D. reps in the game, and took more inspiration from Avengers and the comics. It's always possible but not very likely.

More female Agents, please! A second wave has to happen with the deliberate cliffhanger and lack of physical location-based sets. More agents would be great, as well as more villains and THE villain. I like Ninjago and Chima, but I think UA is one of the best action themes that isn't too heavy-handed with the story, like they used to be.

He's using Tremor, Psyclone and Terabyte. Toxikita gang and Infearno seem independent. That's it.

Dino-themed vehicles could be quite interesting. But it would be a combination of already-done "CHI creating new tribes" and "CHI unleashing prehistoric tribes" and probably, "Don't throw CHI down a gorge...we mean it" and would dinosaurs be multiple tribes or one?

That's the Agent (your character) in the app. Their torsos are similar but not identical. Regarding the Mission HQ and Mobile Command Center: I feel like they're different takes on the same theme, and have some advantages and drawbacks over the others and share good points and problems, as well. The old truck had a very "We're the Agents" feel to it, and the new one has a more (but still flashy) covert look. The old one had much better developed split-off vehicles, but less attention to the workings of the truck. The new one has tossed-together vehicles and fewer of them, but includes some clever details and functions the other one didn't have. They both have a problem with wasted space for different reasons. The old Center spent a lot of effort creating these special hideaways for the vehicles and left less interior space or forgot the potential for expanding the space. The boat cargo bay under the truck was quite obvious and left the rest of the truck with obvious gaps between it and the ground, and they should have expanded the storage box for more things. The plane compartment was clever but left less interior space. The new one has greater interior space, but less occupied space, since the floor-wall has things on it that need clearance when it's folded up, leaving the main platform barer to accommodate the car and prison pod. The way they open contributes to it as well. Since in the old set, the stuff inside was limited to the inside of the truck, the roof/wall hinging up posed no problems, and allowed for a breakaway prison wall. The new one unfolding into two levels using the side and front and back walls may have a cooler transformation, but less practicality and fewer play features, relying on the unfolding to be the main one. They both tie their themes together, and the Agent teams' styles, so I wouldn't say one is better, and that they're both good and bad in different and similar ways.

You mean Mxyzptlk? Yeah, Bat-mite would be interesting, but probably game-only.

Can you link us to a pic? Although it airs tonight, so I guess I could see it that way, too.

I don't think that set is going to be discontinued any time soon! I see it wherever LEGO Super Heroes sets are sold, but I still need to get it!

It's probably going to be the mysterious ringleader's base, in which case, the theme could be anything. I've found some ways to customize Terabyte's look a little. For a no-headgear (visor, helmet) look, I use this minifigure's head (the sideburns are nearly identical) and the Agent Fuse hairpiece. The Galaxy Squad Mosquitoid wings are great for him as a flying device, since they match his color scheme and geometric theme. What hairpiece of what color do you think Curtis Bolt would have under the helmet, since he's the only one without one?

I just got the HQ. My thoughts: The build is very interesting and clever until you get to the identical bags 5 and 6 which build the identical folding doors using large Technic panels and beams, Terabyte's mech is great, and his whole theme is a brilliant subtle counterpart to the Ultra Agents. They both are technologically based, and both feature dark colors with bright glowing accents, with the Agents being more sleek and futuristic and Terabyte being more clunky and retro sci-fi. The unfolding of the truck works well, but I feel like the axle connection is too strong, I feel like I'm going to break it every time I pull the halves apart. The cab attaches well to the trailer and the lever to detach it and the ones to fire the spring-shooters work well. The interior works well to accomodate the unfolded HQ. The design of the set is brilliant, and I think it's well worth it.

Even though they never have, BG is the biggest spin-off of a comic franchise with so many new designs (Batman...IN SPACE!) that to get sets for this game is more likely.

A Dragon tribe would be great, and more likely than gargoyles. It's going to be hard to top F v.I though, since they have to fix the entire world of Chima, so having a more engaging conflict afterward will be interesting. I like the new turn, but it would be nice to see Chima again in the show as it was during Season 1. I'm sure the Cat Guides (or at least Li'ella, of course) will stick around for next year, but the Phoenix tribe might go back into hiding in the story,
