SpiderSpaceman

Say, that's pretty slick. Batsignal 2x2 rounds are awesome. Also the entire lex thing doesn't scream "juniors", good addition to my regular lineup.

Here's one I don't think I've seen, going robust with abilities on this one: Level pack: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory Character: Charlie Bucket (physical accessory: printed tile: peeled back wrapper, golden ticketed chocolate bar) - abilities: factory access, ??? Mini-build: Candy Machine - abilities: produces and dispenses ability candy (like Harry Potter spells mechanic, or Lego Batman 3 suits mechanic), cycles through special powers based on film, to unlock while moving through level: - (Can't think of a representative candy for this but based on: ) (Augustus Gloop): eat scenery to gain smash power (like chi up) - 3-course chewing gum (Violet Beauregard): become a blueberry ball (operate as gyrosphere) - Wonkavision irradiated wonka bar (Mike Teavee): shrink (like scale keystone, atom, wasp, or ant man) - Fizzy lifting drink: float up, burp down - Lickable wallpaper: power ??? - Everlasting gobstopper: power ??? Mini-build: Glass Elevator - abilities: flight, travel to new factory areas (basically functionally identical to tardis) Fun pack: Oompa Loompa - abilities: sonar smash (singing), acrobatic, short character hatches, tech panels, master build; visual when building: dancing Oompa Loompas obstruct view of build, disperse when done Mini-build: rideable golden goose - Abilities: rideable, golden egg bomb Fun pack: Wonka - abilities: throws chocolate bars, rainbow (unikitty) brick smash & build, acrobatic, pole vault, factory access, chocolate constructs Mini-build: chocolate river boat Fun pack: Slugworth - abilities: X-ray goggles, stealth (obvious disguise as Oompa Loompa), licorice throw Fun pack: Grandpa Joe Mini-build: bedmobile :P The issue is that Charlie is not at all exciting as a video game playable character, Wonka would be the ideal candidate for a level pack, but running through movie story like the other movie themed level packs, Charlie would have to be the playable protagonist. But maybe without a level, just a chocolate factory world, with Wonka, the Oompa Loompa, and cut it down to the chocolate river boat and the candy dispenser. Plenty of enthusiastic Gene Wilder sound bytes could work at least as well as the clunky dialogue stealing for like, Gimli. Yes, I know we're just pitching for fun and no-one sees this ;) Am I alone in thinking this would be cool?

Wait, so, Slimer glows (in game, is of course what I mean )? That's fun.

I had a jump scare when I walked in on his painting... It's a good thing his quest was to find some really unspooky goofy Mixel things The Chima characters look and play great and offer good variety to a game that has some pretty civilian looking humans in it's ranks. But every time they name-drop something from the god forsaken cartoon I gag. Gag. Like "Is this another vision?" "Are you a Legend Beast?" "I sure could use bird character to pick my crocodile teeth" No-one knows your abysmally bad source material, no-one is interested, and it drags down the rest of the experience. Just... you could go from set design, character design - and it's a top notch animal warrior society ready to go.. just don't tie in to the show like that's what people want! The selling point should be play as animal warriors -which is cool, not "remember this show? we're gonna pretend like it deserves to hang out with beloved properties". Just give em some hardcore battle cries or something, not referential lines.

Would you say "Bustin makes me feel good?" Because that's what occurred to me as I used that luscious ghost wrangling mechanic. That is stupid fun. EDIT: don't limit yourself to Venkman either! I split my time between Egon and Winston. Does anybody know how to trigger special finisher moves in Tt games? Because past the chewbacca arm pull I don't know how to reliably get them. I came across, once, in Beyond Gotham, aquaman dropping a wide mouthed shark over a thug. Super funny and satisfying. Never saw it again. The cyberman character video seems to show a finishing move animation that's a cyber conversion on your enemy, with the fresh cyberman flying out the top of the screen. I want to make that happen. Also if you haven't discovered yet, doc brown's ground pound move (holy moly say that ten times fast) calls down lightning. Very creative yet appropriate. Is anyone else annoyed that there's no map but a minimap? Hard to tell what the icons even are. Maybe my screen's just too small

To me, Yoda looked way less like Yoda and way more like the debut appearance of the Emperor. Maybe he's not really talking to Yoda but having an inner conversation with his second-hand ideas of what Yoda is like

I'm so glad cool premium figure parts get a second chance in this theme. I never got the Chima ornate feather armor or the Galaxy Squad robot wings. Like other parts that were locked to pricey sets, like the POTC mermaid tails and the chima snake tail, Alien Conquest face/brain, etc.

Evil Wizard and Winged Warrior are building to an obvious secret theme... Wonder if a "Space Adventure Hero" is in the works.

Ooh clear orange hollow studs!

Wish they didn't have the current license on Spongebob, TMNT, and Star Trek. That's some real trading up from smurfs. Don't get me wrong, smurfs could cause some fun unexpected interactions, as is the soul of Dimensions, but Lego having let the first two lapse is a shame for Dimensions' sake, and trek woulda filled some spacefarer emptiness from the Star Wars noninclusion. I just bought the game yesterday after a while of having 6 packs (Emmet, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, The Doctor, Marty, Nya) just for toys' sake. I will probably hit up Target's buy 2 get 1 to branch into the worlds of Scooby, Portal, and Jurassic Park. Though I also am wanting to get funpacks for some of the abilities I've been seeing crop up over and over: a short guy a diver electric character a water-er And Adventure Worlds I'll still need access to are (currently available ones): Simpsons Chima Wizard of Oz I figure if I get 3, I could hit short with Bart.. dive with Cragger.. and I guess the Witch for maximum world exploration? Alternately Krusty for watering (and keeping Simpsons access), and Jay for lightning. I really really want Gimli, Benny, and Unikitty character-wise, but their abilities are technically redundant or niche, it seems. Anyone have any idea of the shelf life of the sets? When am I gonna be outta luck for ever getting a complete collection? I'm tightly budgeting for the rest of the year and maybe even into Feb, the $55 on Scoob, Chell, and the Velociraptor + 3 for 2 fun packs is all I can really handle. Should I just go for the characters I love and hire a hero on abilities?

My mixels have this issue. I'd contact them. (I mean I didn't for my mixels, I'm gonna "Bricks and Pieces" the replacements on those because I had some extra parts I wanted as well and some damage that's just from careless storage (clips getting pushed) but others are like what you have, bricks and slopes all up the side.

I forgot I have both of those sets. One of those torsos is serving as a "desert dual batman" right now. It's probably the one off of jimmy persia because I just break him up for the parts, whereas my Indy figs are sacred. (That's not helpful to you I know but I'm not particularly useful at this point in the night - burned out on spreadsheet compiling and procrastinating ) None of the orcs or POTC zombies are flesh (light flesh) colored huh? because I just started thinking "oh man we need bare torsos to go with the darker skintones!" and remembered there's a zombie - who's of course tattooed and grimily dead-ish, but technically skintoned and bare...

I don't think you're right about that.

Bravest Warriors: Wallow, Danny, Chris, Beth, Catbug

You're definitely right there. I thought after the friendly colored batman and robin that these would get some bright red and bright green They come in Collectible Minifigures though... I know that's a different factory or whatever but all the premium decoration techniques are in use in the smallest sets of all. Even with a couple of dollars price bump for a little set to get a premium figure in the budget could happen. Looking forward to these.

There's a feature in the program, accessed by a button in the top right corner (a brick floating above another, with "1" and "2" in circles), that automatically generates instructions. If I remember how it works, first you'll want to use the "Groups" tool (small tab above the part name search) to select and isolate subassemblies and help the software recognize what segments should be done all at once. The software may still not generate instructions in an ideal sequence, but that helps keep it from jumping all over. The parts in the part callouts for each step can be rotated with right drag if any are at an angle that makes it hard to identify - the assemblies in the main view can be rotated in the same way, but the newest rotation will apply to all steps in the assembly. The instructions can be exported to a HTML file and printed from a browser. Outside of the building guide mode, Control-K from the main building mode will take a clean backdrop picture of the view on your screen, if after making instructions you want to zoom in on anything, hinge, re-position parts, and create demos of features to add to the end of the instructions proper. And another thing that can be done: Prior to generating the instructions, if you use control-6, you will access the preferences, where you can select the visual option "outlines on bricks" to make it clear where one part ends and another starts (the software needs to be restarted before the parts generate like this) Others can tell you about the third party options if you want more control and presentation, but if the included functionality will do what you need, it's in there. I hope your cool mom skills fill your daughter's Christmas with delight

Wouldn't expect it. I just think it's ridiculous that it's technic or CCBS and not system.

Is this one that "turned out to be" just grime? because I still call it blood - and like Runamuk there said, the face definitely counts with the fresh cuts look - and I'm sure the shirt blood would be from dabbing at that

Have a clip art! White, fourfold nubbies at the top, tapers down, footies at the bottom? It's a tooth!, which granted has arms clothes and accessories. And facial features.

So it is! Hot diggity!

Think he's talking the one with the lights up top. EDIT: Although yeah, he did say "the last one"... Hmmm. I just overlooked that to assume that my fellow man recognized a tooth from a chair...

Dumb as hell. Fun as hell Lets see, favorites, favorites... in order we're looking at them: Cop motorbike... Castle tower, castle catapult... Drum kit (my overall winner, then whole pirate series)... (glad the "classic" eyes made it to the party on the horn and the hydrant!) Firefighter ladder (can't lie though those wheels offend me when they show up in modern kits )... All the pirates are amazing mash up ideas. Chest/crab with coin teeth, like everyone else is saying, is my favorite - but the limbs on shark/captain can't be beat, and monkey/crewman is also a winner for having a bandanna that incorporates a banner, and an earring! Love 'em all. It's crazy the deviation from a tight unifying color scheme in those although... you're always gonna have white in the eyes and teeth and grey in the joints, red tongues are pretty common, so I guess extending those colors into the rest of the model still really visually works out. Then let's see, dentistry. we all know the toothbrush the tooth has only looks right from one side . I like the bright lights on the chair guy. But the dentist wins by a long shot here. Oh! and the trans light blue tank assembly on the fire plane is sick. want those.

I'm a No Love it Might Little difference I like hybrids, and this is a hybrid. But if it falls can be sorted under one of it's mash-up parents: in my opinion "castle" can't include high technology, while sci-fi/space/futuristic can include any aesthetic. Again I like hybrids, and castle-space is one I've always wanted and played around with in my own designs. Might get some - OK, will get some. But just a sampling, I think. A true favorite and maybe an appealing cheap model or two. Makes no difference - Story/setting-wise, all I want from a lego theme is some box art and catalog blurbs, let the set and figure design do most of the talking. I love the Ninjago theme (and a lot of Chima), but I feel like the show built around it misses the vibe I get from my aforementioned setting-informers.

So Axl's only in the big set I don't want, right? I just realized the only other Axl in existence without an e is Axl Rose.

Ok I think these are are reasonably slick 1: for cheap with big ol selection of new figure parts 2: for hammer whack action, the look of the hammers (or dynamic fireballs or whatever), the magma core dude, and the brown slopey bits. 3: shaping, figs, windshield, giant sworditude. 4: bat speedor 5: it's a balrog. 6: everything Take note folks this is how you make a valuable contribution to a thread.
