  1. Yeah, what the heck is that supposed to be?! Still, it comes with all the main characters of the wave, so I'm sure this set will sell.
  2. To be fair, Bionicle is no longer labelled Technic. It's blatantly CCBS. I can understand why people would lament the heavy use of Technic in 2016. That said, I'm not opposed to the use of Technic in the new sets myself, I quite like it in fact.
  3. I see, thanks. That's a shame, which means I'll have to display Kopaka with Melum if I want to balance out the gold on him.
  4. I'm actually hoping that the crystal pieces on Kopaka's shins are blended with silver instead of gold! It'd fit in with his overall colour scheme better.
  5. Now that we know Kopaka's hilt has been changed to silver, won't the only gold parts on him be the blended crystal pieces on his shins? I understand that Melum has them on his arms as well, but they're going to look odd as the only gold parts of the set.
  6. Dark blue?! As in Metru blue, a la the colour of the Skull Spider that comes with Lewa? Unlike some others, I was actually okay with his lower arms being black. If they're going to be dark blue, though, that's incredible. I've been waiting for a long time for a Metru blue CCBS shell! Hopefully this means we'll get a wave using darker colours. The novelty of trans-pieces and gold is wearing off for me. I'd like to see more Metru red, Metru blue/green, and perhaps brown! We'll be getting more brown CCBS pieces with next year's Star Wars Constraction sets. Hopefully these colours are more prevalent in 2016 if/when (hopefully) we get a new Toa team.
  7. That BP mask looks absolutely gorgeous, kevkipo! I'd love something like that. Unfortunately I have a feeling Lego will take the easy route and just print the mask on a minifig head, like Cap...
  8. Those new suits are awesome! Just when I thought this year's costumes couldn't be topped. Really looking forward to these.
  9. Agreed, they look huge! It seems Lego is trying to go for the tattered battle-worn look for Umarak. I'm not sure I like that, especially with the smooth CCBS shell pieces breaking up the roughness of his overall look, particularly his thighs. Here's hoping he looks better in-hand. I don't really mind Tahu's gold - with the trans-orange, he really looks like he's on fire! Though it's odd that bar the pins, he only has 3 red pieces - his mask and the two 5L shells on his legs.
  10. Space ninjas, I could deal with that! Hopefully this sky pirates theme is a lead-up to an underwater theme in summer - I love underwater themes!
  11. Anyone notice that Rey, Finn and Kylo have visible gears on their backs? Coupled with the seemingly custom torsos that Finn and Rey look to have, could it be that these figures have some gear feature?
  12. Finn's head looks absolutely terrible, but Poe and Rey don't look too bad. Still, I'm definitely getting Kylo and Phasma, but that's probably it. Maybe the FO Stormie if I have spare cash. Loving all the new capes - it seems Kylo has a normal cape and an waist cape! And Rey has some funky torso cape going on around her body. Very nice.
  13. This year's winter wave was quite promising in giving us JL characters that were not Batman, but next year it looks like it's back to Batman galore again... Why, Lego?!
  14. You made my day, J2G! Thanks :) Told you guys we'd see Kylo and Phasma! Those are definite purchases for me.
  15. Lovely! This looks like it could be a real set. I love the use of the baseplate! I know some people don't like it, but I miss its appearance in playsets as I think they make a playset look a lot more complete. Here's to its return someday!
  16. The new Vader helm only comes in the Final Duel. I'd wait it out, the TIE Advanced is long due for a remake!
  17. That's what I meant! That the new trailer is the final confirmation that Lego got it wrong, unfortunately. I wasn't doubting it but there were some people who speculated that the final version of the ship in the movie might have non-moving wings like the Lego version.
  18. The new trailer is also the final nail in the coffin (for anyone still doubting) that the wings on Kylo's shuttle fold out sideways in the movie.
  19. That Silver Centurion looks incredible - too bad it's going to be incredibly expensive on the aftermarket. Hopefully it gets a more widespread release.
  20. I'll need to see him in hand. I feel like the CGI emphasizes his trans-orange and gold a bit too much, it's hard to tell how bad all that gold really is.
  21. I really hope that Onua has a black torso - it makes him look so much better. But that lighting still leaves doubt that it still could be gold. On Tahu: I really didn't want to get him (I'm trying to save money for other themes), but that poster sold me! He looks so regal; the Creature mask on top of his mask, combined with those beautiful wings and all that gold, just screams wow. Ugh. The blue complements his red and gold nicely as well.
  22. Good eye! Tahu looks awesome. Also nice look at the Mask of Control there. Where did you find this video?
  23. Neat observation - I hope you're right! It'd be a very boring ship otherwise.
  24. The old cowl that they're using is actually more movie-accurate! It covers the chin like the movie version. The new cowl doesn't cover the chin. I assume they'll stick to the new cowl for the other BvS sets.
