  1. I like it! The head reminded me of Mantax instantly.
  2. I know one of you mods have Breez. Who is it, own up! One more review and we're finished for 2011! (No, no one cares about Fire Lord.) And it's just the second day of December!
  3. Thanks for the review! Eagerly anticipated this, since Stormer is my favourite Hero along with Surge.
  4. There are only 2 things about the Fire Lord that I like: 1) The helmet. Note that I'm not a fan of the double sided head. But the face still looks pretty cool, and the gunmetal colour is awesome and fits him completely. Also, is it just me, or does Fire Lord's face resemble movie Teridax? He comes to mind whenever I look at FL's helmet. 2) The two printed pieces. These 2 are probably the best printed pieces of HF 2011. The magma is just lovely, no weird symbols or anything.
  5. It's perfect, thanks! Seems TLG has a thing for yellow beetles.
  6. Another comment - I wish the mandibles were a lighter shade instead of gunmetal. They blend in too well with the torso core such that I can't really see them clearly. Also, just for the heck of it - mind if I request a picture of Jetbug posed with Bitil, if you have him assembled? Thanks!
  7. Great review, good set, but my least favourite of the villains. I wouldn't complain about the double sided head here, due to Nitroblast's eye piece, it's much worse on Jetbug.
  8. I have to disagree about the head. The goggles look really goofy and just put me off. Worse Hero, IMO.
  9. Good review, but okayish set. And I thought Evo's helmet's resemblence (I spelt this wrong, but anyhow) to a football helmet was quite bad, but this is just bish. Plus I prefer the cover shield configuration, but too each his own.
  10. Bring it! Stormer 2.0's looking great there. He's my favourite Hero along with Surge.
  11. I'm speechless. This is just... Magnificent. Pardon my words, it truly is a beauty. Job well done! Love the use of the Visorak head and the Ignikas for feet armour.
  12. Seems like it's a love-it-or-hate-it thing for HF 2011.
  13. Thanks! I could do that. But wouldn't that connection make the Bohrok eyes really loose?
  14. Great review! Surge 2.0's my favourite hero, plus the fact that I'm a huge fan of snipers, he's a must-get for me. Still, I agree with Aanchir on the emptiness of Surge's back. While this may not be a problem with other Heroes like Evo due to the dark colour of his torso armour, Surge's white against black is a real eyesore.
  15. Great review! Didn't notice the new hands, they're great!
  16. Great review! You made my day with a review of my favourite HF 2011 set. Jetbug's as awesome as I expected, although I'm quite disappointed with the double head and lack of trans-coloured eyes. Still, he's a definite buy for me.
  17. Is it just me, or does Jetbug really resemble Bitil? Yellowish colour scheme, clawed mouth, blades for hands, blaster on left hand, dual wings/jet rockets, clawed feet, spikes everywhere... I'm a sucker for insectoids, and I really love Bitil. Jetbug seems to me as a more refined, much more awesome version of Bitil - he's like a dream come true for me. I never noticed Jetbug had pincers for his mouth on the prelims, I always thought they were part of his torso.
  18. Did Jetbug have pincers in the prelims? Because HE IS AWESOME. MUST. GET. Plus the boxart is simply wicked. I CAN'T WAIT. WOOHOO!
  19. Well... It still is the Millenium Falcon. It's one of the most iconic (and awesome) ships in the series, PT or OT. I'm pretty sure kids would recognize (and buy) it as well. That said, I still have to agree about the frequency. 5 in 12 years is quite a lot. But still, seeing how it will sell, I'm not that surprised. Anyway, I'm going to take the Summer 2011 rumours with a pinch of salt, no matter how much confirmation we've been getting.
  20. I agree. While the larger subs, creatures, and Atlantean places (Gateway, Portal, Temple, etc) are stunning, the smaller subs are less than satisfactory. Sure, they're nice sets, but they're not as appealing as the larger ones. I guess I can't explain it either.
  21. Spot-on. I am speechless, this is just amazing. I would love to see this up close for real. Good job!
  22. Holy cow! Now that you mention it, there is a resemblance!
  23. Can't wait for the review! I hated this set at first because it just looked stupid as a mech, but seeing how it can transform into a speeder I like it a lot now. And the Hammerhead minifig is just awesome!
  24. Definitely getting this set - the scarab is just so cute!
  25. Thanks for the review! Was kinda keen on this set since I love brickbuilt creatures, but the saggy balljoints are a turn-off.
