Extreme Sadness.

*Looks at massive floor space* *Drools* WANT. SO. MUCH. WANT. Seriously, why can't Lego make sets with that much floor space anymore D: ? That looks better than quite a few new sets, to be honest. Great review, as well. -ES

$13? Seriously? Is this a joke? $13 for a minifig, some cards, a few bricks and accessories, and a top piece? WTH? Definitely not buying these, I'll still buy the system sets, sure, I might even buy the Spinjitzu base set, but I'm not buying the single things for $13 each, maybe if it were Ten, I might be able to stomach it, but thirteen? No. -ES

In regards to availability, they're out in my local TRU, I picked up Breez 2.0, Evo 2.0, Surge 2.0, Nitroblast, Jetbug, and Fire Lord a couple days ago. They had ab huge amount of heroes, mostly Nexes and Evos, with the occasional Breez or Surge, I didn't see any Stormers or Furnos, though, wich was a shame, as I wanted to get them instead of Breez and Evo. Nitroblasts flamethrower really doesn't need the extra supports, though, it handles fine on it's own, so I'm puzzled as to why the designers did this, since realy it's only purpose is to restrict the arms movement drastically. It wouldn't've been hard to change it so that the tank remained, but was attached directly to the torso, instead of attaching to the limb piece on the back, as well as remiving the arm that was attached to the torso and replacing it with the flamethrower arm, Nitroblast looks much cleaner without the extra arm, and the Flamethrower is no longer restricted. -ES

I was doubting this set after reading the BZP review, but I don't mind it afterreading this review, she'll probably be my fourth 2.0 set. Great review, as well, the pictures were very nice, and seeing the combiner was fun. -ES

Those abominations look absolutely horrid. I had an Ewok minifig pen like that a while ago, but at least they didn't butcher the Ewok . -ES

I thought I saw somewhere that HF was originally planned to co-exist alongside Bionicle. So I'm pretty sure that Hf wasn't originally planned to replace Bionicle. -ES

I believe we've gotten confirmation that the new armor peices are connected via Balljoints. If you're wondering what I mean, check the official HF topic on BZPower, page 110. 2011 peices have been found in LDD 4. -ES

Updated thoughts on the new sets: Unless the Villians get a complete overhaul(as in, completely scrap the designs), I'm not spending a penny on them, they look too cluttered, have too many new peices, and look too much like those Bionicle ripoffs from a while back(The ones that had very stylized peices), not to mention the new parts are WAAAAY too smooth. These thoughts go quadruple for the Fire Lord, unless he gets a completely different design, I'm not touching it's box with a ten-foot pole. I'm not very optimistic of the heroes either, their designs are also too smooth. I blame all the people who said "we need craploads of new molds EVERY YEAR" . -ES

. . . . . . . That's pretty effin' sweet, man. You even gave him Knee articulation! This makes me want to remake my heroes. -ES

The detail parts are Perditus-tastic =D . I like the thick armor, although I have a hard time believing those Legs could hold that Body. -ES

Okay YES. I had a feeling that the set Svelte was talking about was a Diagon Alley set(This IS the one he was talking about, right?) But I really hope those Goblins get printed eyes in the final versions, they look creepy at this point. . . . . . . . -ES

OH MY GOD. THEY ARE AMAZINGLY SIMILAR TO THAT M3G48l0K5 THEME. *BRAIN MELTDOWN* I'm glad to see that the most of the sets have more peices than the 2010 lineup, although I'm not expecting much from this "Fire Lord" guy, considering his peice count compared to Von Nebula, who barely managed to be custom. -ES

Erm, I never pictured Marendar looking so. . . . . . . . . .Bestial. And I think the hands are too messy, The assymetricality doesn't work IMO, and the Tail is just strange considering what it's supposed to be. Sorry, just doesn't cut it for me . -ES

OH GOD LEGO WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO THIS AWESOME THEME?! HF had potential, it could've been great, but Lego had to go and do this. And if Front isn't kidding, I AM SSOOOOOOOOO PISSED RIGHT NOW. I miss the Inika build, and, y'know what? I think I preffered small sets to not have knees and elbows, the 2010 heroes didn't have them, and I'd say it isn't detrimental to their awesome factor. -ES

I meant mostly pricewise, cause judging by this year's prices. . . . . . -ES
