Picked up the chain cycle and jay walker one finally.
-
I've heard nothing but good things as most people pick it up for the cycle, not the minifigs. I'm planning to get one before it stops production.
-
Aaaannnd....I ended up ordering a Fortrex and Evil Mobile.

I dunno why, but now I'm OBSESSED with Chima! I really didn't care for it at first. Probably because it was so far outside the box, design-wise with the animal builds and anthropomorphic minifigs. But now, I really appreciate all the play features and detail that went into most of the sets and figures. I feel like this series might've been cut short before it really reached it's full potential, but regardless, I feel like Lego really put a lot of effort and resources into something that was as much an experiment as anything else and I really appreciate it. I think the initial premise was a bit weak (hello Disney's Lion King), but as the cartoon series went along, I feel like it did pick up creatively and began to really evolve into its own. I think I most regret passing the Lion Chi Temple by, but I'm hoping to find it at not too outlandish a price sooner or later!

Ah, I see! Cool, thanks for the info! Ninjago has grown on me. I didn't care for it when it first came out, but I appreciate the play features in these sets as the series has evolved. Very interesting that this has indeed become an "evergreen" theme, as it's not something I would've foreseen back in 2011.
-
Apologies if I missed it, but is Ninjago even close to becoming a retired theme at this point? How much longer do we think Ninjago will go? I'm still looking forward to the Rock Roader (I like the buggies), and the Tumbler.

Toys R US in the US has a special this week on NK (20% off plus get a free Night Cycle for Lego purchases $30 or more), so I finally caved in and added a Lava Smasher and Chaos Catapult to go against my Clay Blade. TBH, only Clay's Blade was a "must have" for me out of this first wave, but now I'm considering getting a Fortrex and Jestro Evil Mobile too. I'm not too jazzed about the Summer sets though. I'm curious about the Black Knight Mech, but if that doesn't come out too nice, I may skip the rest until another round of sets.
-
The more I look at it, the more I like the Volcano "Explorers" small drilling truck set. I definitely want at least one Park set too.
-
Lego Modular Hospital sounds like a fun idea, I like it!
-
Dragon is kind of nice, although I'm not sure about the material of the wings. I really only like the Tumbler, even though it "borrows" a lot from TDK both in style and name. :p
-
Siege of Doom is a logical solution to Fortrex...I like it! I like the Tower Transport too.
-
I like the Park and Hangar sets!
-
Interesting how Lego used the lime green for these new geologic sets--reminds me of Power Miners a little! Not too interested overall, but the mobile HQ with tracked driller looks cool.
-
That's the thing though, they have so many different lines, original and otherwise, it's not possible for them to all do well. It's like throwing a bunch of stuff against the wall and seeing what sticks.
-
I just bought the Blade. I like the look and the play features a lot.
-
I'm pretty sad about UA...it's a great line that suffered from poor timing. It seems like Lego and the consumers generally favor licensed IP these days at the expense of most of their own original ideas. :(
-
Great!
-
Really sweet
-
Yay, I'm planning to get the tremor track infiltration and infearno interception sets.
-
I like the new Stormies.
-
S@H "stealth" sent me my Republic Gunship order from May the 4th sale, even after sending me an email saying it would take more time. I rec'd Darth Revan and poster too. Started building it last night, got about halfway done...looks like it will be fun to mess around with after I'm done.
-
Clever!
-
Great!
-
Seems like you need more table space! But I do like that the PR overlooks the park. That really seems like a good design choice overall.
-
That's great! Love seeing the big modulars get even bigger! I don't have the space for that unfortunately, so I'll just live vicariously through y'all!
