When are the toy fairs usually?

Between me and my brother we most of the Chima sets except for lion dude and crocodrile, which I assume judging by the quality of their sets they are side characters so not very important. Eris looks epic actually. Probably the first place but not my thing because of all the white and gold, never a fan of that combination. I like dark sets. Wolf guy is ok. I really resent the dark red blocks. Would have preferred any of the following colors: red, black, silver, gunmetal, blue, green, yellow, any color really. Gorilla's front is awesome, but the back offends me. Was it so hard to get just one armor piece? Just one more piece? Really , the back is such a drawback on this set. Mod-worthy, I guess. It is great he uses stickers, these sets look better without those armor decorations and the golden large armor piece will be a ton of times more useful without them. My favorite is the crow, although mostly because of the purple gallore. I regret getting Voltix last year, this is a much better source of purple. I plan getting Duplicates or triplicates (specially if HF 2013 sets don't arrive, which seems likely) of Eris, Gorilla and Crow, they have great pieces for me.

Simply enough, it is not HF's turn because there are less leaking adults interested in this them than in Ninjago, StarWars or friends.

I am expecting the heroes to be like the CMF White and Black "mechs" or the Galaxy Squad robots., minifigures with the exception of a helmet.

That figure is the part. A single part, in shape of a figure.

To be honest, a better news for me would be that TLG would go back to making all bone pieces black. I miss 2.0 times in which everything was more versatile because all your bones were the same color.

That sounds like something 2014's Ninjago baddies would have.

The sets will always be meant for kids. We can always make revamps or mods with less obvious play features.

TLG might think that kids want minifigs. Awful Kre-O sets have that as advantage. They bring a big robot, yeah, but also a small figure.

I wasn't implying much, just that this thread has brought tons of attention.

I love how all my google searches for recent pages talking about HF 2014 link to this thread.

Villains will still be the usual figures, supposedly. Mixels are too large for what is being described, imo.

What HF has as advantage over Bionicle is that they are supposed to look inorganic. So maybe the minifigures will look ok this time. But the Bionicle minifigures set a very awful precedent.

For the moment I am assuming that store site got trolled.

A bit off-topic, but anyone heard rumors if there will be Chima action figures next year?

Burning in anger, they only brought the Chima ultra builds and not any HF set :(

Well, it is likely we might get some blurry retailer catalog pictures in 2 months, that should make the wait easier.

Don't worry, since images are starting to appear for the other themes, we'll likely need to wait only 3 or 4 months before HF updates.

Wishing they move to boxes. Easier to recycle. A new ninjago sets has this: The shoulders look like what could be a new HF piece.

It was pretty dumb for a prison break season not to have the old villains.

Where does it say this will replace CMF series 13? The British Olympics figures didn't replace a series.

That ugly Bionicle stuff makes even the weakest HF wave look good in comparison. Cool.

Things that *must* happen: - Monorail. - The Donut store with the giant guy holding the donut. - Nuclear plant. - Moe's

Waitress, I think it is not going to be a lot worse than the haz mat suit. Still, they should have gone with red or blue. The big bad mistake is that she is wearing shorts, so the yellow rectangles to signify her legs will really fail because of the color. But the face and hair make up for it.

The Series' Scuba Diver : Hiker. It is yet another sport, the black-red combination looks too dark. Without his accessories I would have not guessed what is he supposed to be. Just Ok (wouldn't mind to find 1 of them) - Barbarian accessories are meh, but the prints, including the face, that one is going to be useful. - Bavarian Woman: Nice details and hair. - Waitress: I don't think her uniform is yellow, it is a different hue than minifig face yellow. Ice cream and skates are welcome. However, that plate is the same as the one the fancy restaurant male waiter has, it would be impossible to pose this girl without the ice cream falling. That piece is terrible, I hate it so much. Why couldn't they add a stud? - Grandma: Useful, plus the cat. - British policeman: Good for collection. Everyone would understand what this figure represents by just looking at it. Must have one of - Scarecrow: I really hope the crow and the hat are not a single brick though. - Man - Cookie : Nice! - "Female" Robot: Specially because series 6 didn't come here, so I didn't get the equivalent. Must have two or more - Blues brother. You need at least two of this guy, obviously. - Blacktron robot: I am not very excited about this figure. I love sci-fi and I like blacktrons , but I think making another blacktron figure would have been better. This robot design does not combine well when put next to the other figures. The weapon is also meh, I would have prefered a pure black CMF laser gun, or a galaxy patrol gun. Actually, if I controlled reality, I would have made them make this guy come with a galaxy patrol gun and trans-yellow binoculars. Now *that*'s a blacktron weapon. But I will need to buy multiples of this guy because of the black armor with blacktron logo. - Yeti: I need one for display, I need some more so I have some popsicles. - Scientist: Need one for display. And more for test tubes. - Tiki: Yep. - Wielder: I need some helmets. - Santa's elf: Santa needs at least three of these guys. Which is tragic because they will most certainly be the rarest figure of the series (many accessories). It will also be very easy to spot even when inside the bag, so every store shall run out of these quick.
