They also had clear visors, which I purchased a few of. Definitely a lot of potential if they're doing that now.

Indeed I did get that message. After the Recon Team fiasco, I guess I'm not even surprised anymore. 100 though, that's nice. I only ordered four =P.

So they updated PAB, blank torso shells and all. I'm gonna place an order, and see where it gets us.

Isn't this a fan-made series, anyway? You guys try making something better. Obviously it's not at the level of the TV show, but for a standard web-series based around LEGO, it's not too bad at all. Also, the brains resemble their form from the show, which doesn't actually look much like the set.

They upscale it a bit in Europe too, which is why you see Euro and Dollar numerical values being the same (13 for medium sized sets, for example) even when the conversion is different. They can afford to do so; it's still a business.

S'just cuz the dollar values are different. Comparatively speaking, that sounds about right. Speeda Demon was 35 here, apparently; Witch Doctor was ostensibly 30, but everywhere besides the LEGO store marked it up 5, so it amounts to the same thing. Hopefully Jet Rocka will only be 30, but 35 sounds more accurate (still getting it!). Furno was 20, and it looks like Dragon Bolt uses the same bag size, so it all checks out. But yeah, I'm not getting all the white hate (half bandwagoning, but irrelevant). Sure, white isn't the most interesting color, but it's a breath of fresh air from the typical greys and whatnot, and I think it contrasts nicely with Rocks'a gold/gunmental, while complementing the trans-green.

Dragon Bolt looks to be a good size, which is heartening. Definitely a worthy counterpart to Jet Rocka, who I hope won't be too expensive.

The build looks the same, but the colors are different. And y'know what? I'm okay with that.

His hands attach at the bottom via a friction pinaxle (or maybe not friction, but likely; also the handlebars move a bit! A far sight better than Furno Bike's) and he has two axle caps (this piece) on top.

I'll probably wait for some BOGO sale at TRU or wherever and lump Jet Rocka in with it. Just figured I'd see if he still stands up at that price point today.

You mean the really fuzzy picture with ill-defined features, washed colors, and of box-art (which always includes effects to boot)? Yeah... Anyhow, I'm still excited. Sure, it looks a bit technic-y, but assuming function (and detachable Rocka!), it'll be an amazing set.

The beam mechanism is probably a handle, like the 2008 BIONICLE vehicles had (and Drop Ship? Never got it =/), I'm just hoping it has a trigger to unfold the jetpack wings.

Would people still recommend Speeda Demon now? I still think he'd be a fun set, but I'd prefer to wait for a sale or something.

I imagine Stormer will have a blue sword; if not, there's bound to be one with Laval, so. Stormer still looks okay; might just get his helmet and visor and stick it on Stormer XL, but I'm interested in those overlarge fang pieces on his sword; have we seen those before? Still excited about Rocka! As for PaB, I figured the ID numbers matched, but I doubt they actually have any of those lying around. If they do, sweet deal. If not, they'll replace them at some point once they put the finishing touches on it.

Rocka is taller, wide shoulders with armor attached at the collar joints, but still has a visor and locking clamps. NOT TO MENTION the fact that the jetpack has a handle and maybe hopefully please god a trigger to make the wings unfold. I'm so incredibly stoked for this set. Plus, it might be able to fit other Heroes...?

With fold-out wings? Damn. I dig it, man. I wonder how else he's attached?

I'm assuming that they'll be available soon, they just need to work out some kinks, or make sure all parts are available. The Breakout torsos, for instance, lack the printing of their finished counterparts, so presumably they'll rectify that. No brains is a bit of a bummer, but they would have had to price them at what, two dollars? It's a fair amount. Definitely some parts I'll need to order, for sure, like Rocka's weapons...

Hey look, they half updated PAB with 2013 stuff. Sweeeeet.

Hah, that's pretty cool. I should get that polybag, if I can find it cheap somewhere. Getting closer to Toyfair. I'm excited. I wonder if Jet Rocka has the blade? I get the feeling that he doesn't, so I might need to order that from PAB (if they ever update that...)

Well, we had the light(yes?)azure bones, so the color isn't out of the question, but I suspect trans blue. So wait, seven sets; Surge is up against Dragon Bolt, but needs Rocka to save the day? Hah.

Wait, are we not allowed to say "sex" on Eurobricks? Of all the things... Anyway, nothing particularly new there, although the combiners aspect is interesting; much like HF, I'm sure it will be non-canon, but interesting nonetheless. Will they combine with their specific nemesis, as HF does, or just a different creature? Or like the SH Ultrabuilds, where they had a triple combiner as well...

(we think)

Which is why I wish America always got more polybags, like above; I never really got why those were an almost uniquely European thing. Considering the emphasis LEGO has on unique S@H sets, and the like, you'd think they would introduce those more...

Man, if Laval does have regular feet, I'm just going to give him the feet we saw in the first pic; way more awesome.

Looks like Cragger's feet are black, which is a bit of a disappointment, but everything else is AWESOME.
