  1. It is odd as like DC we have seen one and the film has been out a long time so no spoilers.
  2. Better than I thought, expect 3 the build could be better in that one.
  3. ninjed by strangely
  4. You could well be right we thought we might get a different Spiderman when we saw the prelim and it was on the bottom of the box too. But if there were two do we have any idea on what they would be?
  5. What with all the 'super jumper'. And do you two superman figs look different, not on the bottom of the box but in the set picture.
  6. I was just lookin at all the dc sets I have and thinking the same thing.
  7. Thanks just2good maybe Brainiac Set looks the best at the price but I did spend a bit to get Martian Manhunter already. Javelin looks great but mech is a bit of a let down.
  8. Yes you right thanks, this is the first time it looked like an avenger set, where did these prices some from?
  9. 47.99 is odd price So is this topic staying here?
  10. If they are on the shelves Lego have bigger problems.
  11. When they push the line back why would they not just change the set numbers too, have we have seen that before?
  12. I understand what you are saying, that you used LOTR to brigde the gap of no castle line but I am looking at it one from the eyes of the Lego group and two as a fan. Would the Lego group say LOTR replaced castle? A lot of castle fans thought LOTR would replace castle, I thought this too but I changed my mind when we got castle sets at the same time. There was a lot of talk about if LOTR replaced castle in history. There is a lot of talk about super heroes being everygreen in topics too. I am not making thing up, it is based on what the Lego does and what they say. The other sites I use like brickset, brucklink, Lego.com all spilt there themes as Lego do and this is how I think about things too. Bricklink even.
  13. But you need to start the 2016 topic for that :)
  14. A lot of people thought that the LOTR line would replace castle and that castle would only come back after LOTR was done. This seemed to make a lot of sense but it was not what happened if anything LOTR replace Harry Potter. I like LOTR being in history but I would like to see more licensed themes being put with in forum based on there subject matter. You cant say LOTR replaced castle because it became clear that lego were happy to run the lines together. You cant say x ended and y started so x replaced y but then x came back you could end up saying friends replaced it because it started the year after castle ended. In your eyes maybe it did replace it but LOTR is not a Lego group castle line like kingdoms, it was its own line with nothing coming before or after, it was sadly a one off license. what I am talking about is not how you see it or how I see it but how the Lego group see it. Lego said at the London Toy Fair this year that Super Heroes is now an evergreen line and it is something that has been talked about a lot on this site. I kind of agree, however I have felt that I needed to defend my position because one I feel some people will try and keep status quo no matter what and two because a lot of people have said I dont know what I am talking about when a lot of what I am taking about has come from the Lego Group or other facts. Some people have not tried to understand what I am saying as you can see from the reply. I didn't start this topic to talk about structure at all, I started because I have seen mod behave in a way I did not like and I have seen topics closed at a whim. I do think we have gone off from what the idea of the topic was and a lot of that was my fault so sorry all for that. I don't think it was doing too much good anyway it seems like people don't want to look for improvements but are happy with the way it is. If anything looking at the poll it has shown we dont need the topic at all and if that what people think then so be it. I agree. The only way to stop is to stop, topics dont need to be closed people just need to stop posting. Star Wars is evergreen, it has a long term contract unlike other licenses, Super Heroes are now in the same camp. This is not coming from me its coming from Lego. The reason I think it important to keep lines together in the way the Lego group intended is because this is how they are on other site like Lego.com, brickset, brick link, catalogs and so on creator and a few other are split up which was one of my points. The other is that some things should be kept together like JW and Dino, Dino was very much an unlicensed JP line, it had over sized Velociraptor not like in the real world but as seen in JP. It was in the present going by the people and vehicles. The vehicles were used to catch the dinos like in JP2 and it also coved a lot of the needed molds. After we got the Dino line we started to see a lot of JP ideas on cuusoo. The dino line molds could well be used in JW sets and most of the reviews for the new sets will have a picture of them by there dino counterparts. If you read the JW topic the dino line is talked about in almost ever other post. Sorry that this topic has gone off the rails a bit, well a lot. But I have not really been wrong about anything that isn't just opinion. I consider that it would be hard to place all the line in a forum so I tried to see if I could do it and I was happy with the results. I didn't think that having a friends forum was so controversial and we all know that Super Heroes is getting bigger and bigger and with every year is looking like its here to stay so I think that it is only a matter of time before it need its own forum and I like to be ahead of the game. Hang on I think we both read this post and thought they were saying different things which can be the problem when you dont talk in person, its easy on forums to miss understand we should all keep this in mind.
  15. Added and welcome.
  16. Its true Lone Ranger is gone but the same thing is happening with Jurassic World and does size matter to where something is put unless it gets its own forum?
  17. No it didn't you just thought it did at the time and were wrong, which is my point. At the time when you have made some of the decision they seemed right now we have more information we might be able to do things better. And even if castle was taking a break we have other forums that do that do there are no western sets to talk about in history so why not put long ranger there. So consistence: Town is the only forum where scale is a issue, Big brick built R2D2 goes in star wars but tower bridge does not go in town this means creator is spilt up. LOTR and Lone Ranger, both kind of historical buildings both licensed but ones goes in history and ones in license. Friends just has to be in city or people wont ever get to see the MOCs but Dino and JW/JP should go in different forums. Pirates and trains get there own forum with few sets over the years but the evergreen theme of Super Heroes does not. And count for yourself the number of super heroes pirate and train MOCs over the last month. Yeah I mean if minidolls don't make a difference to which forum a line goes in why do fleshies? Why is it so right that we have a Licensed forum and so wrong to have a Minidolls one? Come on just2good you better than that, there are very very few things that are perfect everything could be better and that's not to say its not good at the moment. Looking and saying this could be better and have you thought about this is a good thing.
  18. I kind of hope ever set comes with a raptor so we get a good number of them, I only need one T-Rex one D-Rex and a few new molds would be good.
  19. The fact is that if two lines are aimed at the same kind of person even us as AFOL will be more likely to enjoy one if we like the other one I also gave a lot of reasons why they should be put together, both have mindolls a lot of large panels, bright coloured parts and the same kind of parts, reason that have been given for putting other lines together to like LOTR and Castle. I would have thought that more people would think like this, that is how I see the lines. LOTR never took the place of castle the two lines run side by side with new castle sets at the same time. Lone Ranger fits closer with western than LOTR did with castle Thats a fair point and I feel like this is the real reason why we are trying to make out everything we have done in the past is right. I feel like my structure worked better and that is because I got to see all the lines we have now, when eurobricks was made we didnt know then what we do know. It might have been the right decision at the time but know it could be better. Well when I got rid of Licensed I didnt put anything new in Sci-Fi at all, if anything most went in action. This is the main problem with having licensed, there are almost always a non licensed line that cover the same thing and these two line should go together.
  20. So for the 3rd time why is junior together. And why the special exception? I would love to see afol collections to see what themes tend to go together, friends and city, friends and Disney princesses.
  21. It doesn't matter how many people there are, just add a poll and away you go. We are given different reasons for why this is together and why this is not and they contradict each other. Why is junior together?, Why are some licence with there real theme and some are not? And so on, is there anything anyone is open to change. Mods what do you think could be better?
  22. Well in the Jurassic World topic there is a lot of talk about dino and why wont there be and a dino MOC and a JP or JW MOC would look very alike. Disney princess and friends is aimed at the same consumer, both have mindolls a lot of large panels, bright coloured parts and the same kind of parts. And on that note we put junior together based on all these things but not friends. There is a lack of consistency and a funny denial that there is now a young girl line.
  23. But friends has to go in city as that's the only way people can see there MOCs? When two very similar lines are not in the same forum it is a bit odd, Long Ranger - Western, Disney Princess - Friends, Jurassic World - Dino So why do fleshies and non-fleshies get split up but minidolls and minifigs don't.
