REVIEW: 7307 Flying Mummy Attack
The Green Brick Giant replied to WesternOutlaw's post in a topic in LEGO Action and Adventure ThemesIt's average all around for me. The plane has been done 10 times before, and with only 125 pieces for $20 even the wings don't make up for that.

Pharaoh's Quest 2011
A second wave would already have to be planned for this year, a second year can happen if they sell well. However Aqua Raiders sold very very very well, LEGO didn't think it would and never made a second year of them. Instead they went back and planned out Atlantis.

Are you sick of Star Wars?
What I find most surprising is that the current LEGO Star Wars license ends at the end of 2011 and LEGO hasn't renewed it yet. Didn't the last time LEGO extended it it was a year or two before? I am sick of Star Wars LEGOs and I know parents are too. Children don't care about LEGOs at all, all they want is the special minifigure found in the $100 set. I wish the theme would end with releasing 60 sets, about 10 per movie, just completely start over, make every ship ever, and then end it.

Pharaoh's Quest 2011
I'm pretty sure LEGO has talked about Atlantis going on for 3 years, that there was a three year plan. The mini episode movie thing showed hints of this. But how about we enjoy the new sets that were barely released in some places last week before worrying about the future.

Pharaoh's Quest 2011
I doubt we will get interior sets, but we could get a second summer wave, but I'm doubting that too. If the theme was supposed to be more than a one off thing, or a multi year theme I think they would have simply called the sets The Quest. Pharaohs are Egyptian and it's not like Adventures where they can do, jungle and dinosaurs too. I like these theme a lot more than Ninja Go, but I think Ninja will be the set to continue in 2011.

2011 NINJAGO sets
I'm really hoping that the game part fails, for $10 a minifigure it should, and that LEGO will then try harder on some more sets.

Review: 7977 Seabed Strider
The Green Brick Giant replied to Still Raindrop's post in a topic in LEGO Action and Adventure ThemesThis is actually looks to be my favorite Atlantis set yet reviewed. At Target yesterday I could have gotten Deep Sea Striker and the Seabed Scavenger for $10USD each, but I can't stand the Atlantis animals, and the Seabed Scavenger I feel I can wait to see if I still want it during clearance. Atlantis has been on sale for about a month of so now. I feel this set is better for $10 than those to other ones. I like this transforming sub, I love the minifigures, I love the 90s feel to them (even if it doesn't fit), I can't stand the light bley helmet, it looks cheap, but I'll get used to it. I rather spend $10 on this set, than the 2010 ones.

2011 LEGO Cars 2 Discussion
I'm really looking forward to this theme. Can't wait for some pictures.

Pharaoh's Quest 2011
That's my complaint about all the sets for 2011 besides Atlantis, more so the $20 ones. The plane should be $15, the Atlantis fish is all you get for $20, The City Space rocket and van is $20 and none of them should be more than $15. But that's a call of the times, it's just really sad.

Batman returns?
Marvel is owned by Disney! Therefore if Disney really wanted to they could let LEGO make superhero sets. MegaBlok also held the Toy Story and Car licenses, things change.

2011 Atlantis sets
I have not, and if anyone does, I'd like to know where you live (aka country) and how much is was. I'm hearing rumours / guesses of $70USD.

2011 Atlantis sets
I actually like this year's yellow a lot more than last years green, but the green does stand out more. However I find the color change very strange. They added trans green cockpits to the PaB online so you could make your own subs and now they are changing to yellow? I wish the divers helmet would stay dark bley, it just looks better. or change the whole diver to light bley.

Batman returns?
I thought Superman was DC and Batman Marvel. OK then Batman is very dead then.

REVIEW #7976 ocean speeder
It isn't an Impulse set, but still an awesome cheap set. Impulse sets in 2010 in the USA cost $4, before that they were $3 or $3.50, and also only have 20ish pieces. This set has 54 and only cost $5.
-
Batman returns?
The Dark Knight Rises is supposed to be released in 2012 i think, so we could see new sets then. As of right now there are no super hero LEGO sets planned, but Disney owns Marvel now and LEGO has a license with Disney so it's possible.

Lego Holiday Train Question
The only Holiday Train I know of is the 2006 one. The Classic Train looks like it could be easily modded, but I have no clue what old one you mean. Classic Train... http://brickset.com/detail/?Set=3225-1

2011 Atlantis sets
Did you buy it? From the looks of it, I think that might be my second favorite set yet (after the temple of course).

LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 3 discussion
If the shoe fits then yep I'm calling you a megablocker. I understand wanting a few, 2-3 of each, and if there are several boxes then go for it, but people buy every box, every lets say elf or fisherman out of the boxes and that's wrong. How is that different than buying 300 random minifigures and getting 10 elves, the difference is minor, I still think that's a megablocking horrible thing to do. These things were a pain to fine in stores because of megablocks like that. So once again I think the only way to fix the problem is to only sell them only online, because it's clear nothing else will work. Then you can buy 300 (more so because series 2 just ran out last week) and get whatever the hell you get. Running into stores spending thousands of dollars buying EVERY box they have just to see them online for 10 times as much is wrong, it's a childrens' toy. So yeah to the people who do that I think that's ducked up, and that you are an megablocks for doing that. You don't like that then you can ignore me, because I will definitively be ignoring any excuses you use for being a megablocker.

2011 Atlantis sets
I'm really surprised by TRU prices, to the fact I feel they are below MSRP. The little set (54 pieces) is only $5 online, I figured it would be $6, the next up (105 pieces) one I figured would be $13 and it's only $10. I find it funny that a 54 piece set would only cost $1 more than a 20 piece, max, Impulse sets.

LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 3 discussion
Bingo. I have no problem with anyone buying ONE of each minifigure to collect them all. My problem is that some megablocks goes into the store, opens every box to take 30 Elves or whatever and the kids (and the rest of the adults) get screwed. That isn't right. it's come to the point in which I think LEGO should ONLY sell them on S@H so therefor you get what you get.

LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 3 discussion
Well obviously I was using an example, there should mathematically be more than 2 types of minifigures in a box. I'm sick of explaining myself 100 times here. I just want LEGO to make everythnig random and no one know what they are getting. I don't care if we need to the Japanese egg thing.

7597 train (my amended version)
Very nice, what the LEGO model should have looked liked.... However the caboose goes last.

LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 3 discussion
Then they might as well charge $4 and make them an Impulse set. What they really should do is have nothing at all. You can get a box of 55 Apes and 5 fisherman. This is a kids toy and there is nothing about "collecting" them if an adult can buy everythnig they want or 12 boxes of them. This way buying a box isn't an opinion and buying only a few per box is. I don't think those prices will stay of long. I give it a 1-3 months before LEGo lowers the price to $6 each. LEGO said the Ben 10 sets would be $18 before they were released and I think saw their mistake and made them $15.

LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 3 discussion
By the time series 4 comes out each minifigure will be $5 each. I have only seen series 2 twice, and one was Borders for $4, the other was a one off store below a LEGo Store and they had 2 left, and I used the codes and neither one was the skiier. But we all must thank LEGO for replacing a very different to read barcode with incredibly simple dots! Is there a picture of the new fishing pole? So far it looks... lacking. I hope it's better than it looks in the bag art.
