LEGO Collectable Minifgures Series 7 Discussion
sok117 replied to whung's topic in Special LEGO Themes
But how will they know the popularity of one figure in praticular, when the figures are purchased randomly? -
Still not as bad as twilight. I just watched Sherlock Holmes 2. Definitely enjoyable and well worth the money. I love how they did the action sequences and the ending was amazing!

I just noticed that the stuntman has a cape! I hope it's star-spangled banner printed! That would be amazing!!! -
The Curse of IMHOTEP - Sign Up Thread

I'd definitely be interested in taking part in this game! The teaser image looks really good so I am excited to see the "look" of the sets. I'm also glad that you've taken what I can only assume is a more basic mafia game mentality for this game, great to get back to the roots of mafia. Lets see here. 1) I've played in Dystopia, Eurdonia, Hogwarts, Bloodbrick's I and II, Gotham City, and werewolf mafias 2) I'm definitely free for the next six months give or take a weekend depending on how my schedule changes. 3) My favourie mafia moment, even though I dug my own grave, was when we managed to nail the only werewolf on day one in werewolf mafia or "rouge mafia" thereafter. Can't wait to see this game start rolling! -
The Orc proposeing is just pricless! Nice job!
-
Lloyd Garmadon booster pack to use the cape and hood on my Robin figure. He looks great!

Skrysson sweeping the board. I can complain all I wan't but I can't say it was well-deserved. Congrats to all the winners!

The dragon reminds me of FGD from the old Yu-Gi-Oh series! Thats awesome!
-
usually, sets that coincide with a movie are kept under wraps very well. I doubt there is a trace of the sets in the leaked retailers catalogue.

So far, I'm not digging the approach the new series is heading. Gun-weilding in these shows is really dumb because no one ever dies, so they should just put Alfred back to his dayjob. Katanna is my least favourite bat-sidekick, and I really don't like the way shes designed. Batman looks okay, but his head is a bit to triangle-like. And I'm disappointed that joker isn't the prominent antagonist. A bat without a clown is like peanut butter without jam, it just doesn't happen.

Went to sherway yesterday, and to my delight they had all the superhero sets excluding the batcave!! Spent $100 on Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape Catwoman Catcycle City Chase Superman vs. Power Armour Lex They looks so cool!!

It says Dracula's Bride

Agreed 100%, he could easily be my favourite non-licensed fig if they do his prints right.

Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape Catwoman Catcycle City Chase Superman vs. Power Armour Lex I love superheroes!!!

I know what you mean! There are so many other awesome things coming out 2012 that this awesome theme may have to take a back seat! , with superheroes, lord of the rings, and star wars (though thankfully most of the SW sets are bad) I'm gonna have no money left. I guess the mayans were right about 2012 being the end, I think lego has more awesomness stored for us then the world can handle!!

Manbat would be awesome! However these look close enough to the real thing that a new fig would be unnecessary! All and all these sets look like a good idea that was executed poorly. Werewolf set looks awesome, neat little car with a nicley designed tree and an awesome werewolf. A definite buy. Frankenstein set looks really lackluster, the car looks like it's only half of one, and the building looks little more then a wall. This ones an upset, but I think we can expect a light brick in that set. Creature set looks cheap. But the figs are cool. This is an easy and definite buy. Plus I think you get some of that mechanic hair! Ghost train looks amazing! The plane is awesome, and the train just looks stellar and creepy! A trio of ghosts is icing on the cake. I think this is defintely on the list. Mummy carrige looks very half-assed and out of place. This is a big no. Mixed feelings for Draculas Car, on the one hand that guy with the bowler hat looks like the single most coolest person to be made in a lego set since Johnny Thunder. The car looks really wonky however. I need better pictures to decide fully. Draculas Castle looks super classic horror movie! The tower with the other one branching off is awesome! And the car looks cool. Figs look stellar as well. Fencing guy and hammer man are sure to make a splash in lego. Looks like the story revolves around triangle fragments. Theres one in each set. The minifigures look sick, well except for the CM stand-ins, lots of 1930 clothing. I'm super excited to see this them progress Fencing, Bowler Hat, Mustache, Motorcycle riding guy FTW! :sweet:

1. You are correct, but that still doesn't explain why he or the tactical droid are present in the set if Anakin and Ashoka are there. TlC knows the timespan in the universe and has proven they can reflect it on sets (look at the new jabbas palace, it only has figures that make sense for the scene) So it begs the question as to why they were included. Obviously to just get a wider appeal by whoring out more figures. 2. That makes sense then. Thanks for clearing that up. I'm used to this one It still doesn't save the set from not being designed well. The cockpit looks like it was just stuck on as an after thought. I am well aware that these are preliminary. I know they are subject to changes, but my comments are based off of what I do and do not like as of now. Now I shall use the condescending winky face at you to make it seem as though you are the fool HAHAHAHAHA

They should really get rid of that winky face, every time I see it it's so smug and condescending. -
Well, it may not be much but I'll offer my two cents. Melovolance looks okay so far, but sets like that usually lack a lot. Basically don't set your standards to high. You already know the scale is way off, plus the figures election is weird considering dooku wasn't even there. The back of the ship also looks weird, like it just ends rectangular. This one is a definite pass. Gungan sub looks pretty bad. Obviously TLC had to redo all the figures because that "NEW FIGURE" stamp is what sells nowadays. The build looks extremely lack-luster, and the smooth shape of the ship is ruined by an abundance of studs everywhere, all and all it looks incredibly flat and ugly. Does anyone know if the pieces used to achieve the smooth look on the front are new? Jabbas Palace looks like an awful set that is totally dependent on the figures. I mean ten figs? more then half of which are completely new, I think the build is just a slap in the face to the actual palace, the tower looks like it's made up of the front door, a storage room, then some place to stand a figure? From there it's just a stage for Jabba and a roof over his head. The figures will be the only reason this set is purchased. Sasse Tinns Starfighter isn't it supposed to be orange and white? Besides from being completely inaccurate, this thing looks pretty damn ugly, especially the cockpit. It looks like they've borrowed the idea from Atlantis, but to change it enough to allow it to fit seamlessly in the design. It looks like it was just added to the JSF format were all used too. But hey, we get two new figs, so TLC wins again! Fury Class Interceptoris definitely the best set of the way. The design looks pretty good, a couple of new figures, but the big drawing point is the cool new ship. From what I can see, the wings look really cool with the tie-fighter like appearance. I hope the body of the ship looks cool too and I hope it comes with a half-decent interior. This is the most probable purchase. Desert Skiff looks bad. It's all about the figs, the sarlacc is gross though I suppose it can fit a minifig inside. The skiff looks awful to be honest, the big pieces used at the back are definitely uncalled for and make the model look like it has to much junk in the trunk if you know what I am sayin'. Most likley a pass, but the new figures have me intrigued. Maybe a cloud city boba fett-esque figure? Republic striker starfighter looks... weird. I'm getting mixed signals. On the one hand, it looks like a good build that isn't whoreing itself out for figures, but on the other hand, the ship itself isn't all that appealing to me. I'm torn so I await better pictures. I think the star here is the Fury. Everything else just looks more or less like a sad excuse to get new figures out.

who are you again? -
So I'm guessing it's like Jurassic Park or something? I'm sure theres a highly illogical explanation for all of this. Maybe thats why the site isn't up yet, because they still haven't figured out the why.

Hmm, Mastermind is right next door to me. It's tempting but I'd rather get the points on my VIP card. That rumor is delicious, who let the cat out of the bag? Can't wait till Fairview gets em, I'll call tomorrow to see what I can find out.

Thats a very cool idea! I think giving the gift of bricks is the greatest gift, not only for the lego-lover but for ones you care about as well because as you have shown it can be very personal. I'm sure all of your friends appreciate those very much!

I think a little mudslinging here and there is a good thing for a mafia game. Like in this game, it gives people chances to gauge their oponents reactions and decided whether or not they can be trusted or not. However, if you find youself deeplinking pictures to add to your insults, I think you've gone to far. I know I've taken a lot of heat for some of the games I've played. Mostly it's because I don't like being a sheep, so I try to come to my own conclousions that may not be what the majority of players are working towards. This most always makes me look either "scum" or "dumb", which looking at it now, I can fully understand. I'm also a little bit to stuborn, and thats not just the online Sok117, but the real one as well. A lot of the time I look at peoples cases from different angles, I find one thats semi plausible, and I attack it until I make myself look super scummy. For these reasons I'm always getting called dumb in these games, either by other players or myself. I think though, that if you want to play these games, you have to bring a lot of things to the table. You need to be active, you need to be thick-skinned, you need to be objective, and you need to be smart. I'm still working towards all of the above, but as long as I'm still having fun, it's still an enjoyable experience for me.
