Takanuinuva Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Man I wish I could have seen those ultimate leaks before they were taken down. Could they still be somewhere on the internet? Quote
CM4Sci Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Man I wish I could have seen those ultimate leaks before they were taken down. Could they still be somewhere on the internet? Oh definitely. You just have to look. Quote
Aanchir Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 After 10 minutes of digging had a good look at them, all look mediocre to good except for one of them, Lavaria looks brilliant compared to the rest, and clay was a Let down yet still includes some good parts, so after see Hopefully all of the Images I can safely say that I am 100% on board with NK, however they also appear to be in bags similar to the HF ones from 2014 onward, how odd.................. They look to me like they are in folded cardboard boxes similar to this year's Airjitzu and Bionicle sets or last year's Speedorz sets. I wish LEGO were still using those resealable foil pouches they used for Hero Factory. They're some of the best, most functional packaging the LEGO Group has ever created. Quote

Yeah after seeing it again I would agree, Those bags were one of the most useful packages Lego made due to there reuse ability. Quote
DraikNova Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 I only just realized that they have translucent armor and visors. That's just glorious. Quote
Captain Sweatpants Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) Can anyone make out what heraldry ultimate Clay and Macy have on their chest? (in the shield-shaped opening in their armor piece) I can't, the colors are too much the same -_-' when i look at it long enough, Macy's emblem kinda looks like a monkey though Edited November 7, 2015 by Captain Sweatpants Quote
Robert8 Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 Man I wish I could have seen those ultimate leaks before they were taken down. Could they still be somewhere on the internet? Yeah... I missed them too Quote
Captain Sweatpants Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 Yeah... I missed them too The truth is out there ;) Quote
BlockLogo Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 So the ultimate sets are basically one fig with a 'roided out brick-built weapon/armor and a little terrain build? Quote
Lind Whisperer Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 So the ultimate sets are basically one fig with a 'roided out brick-built weapon/armor and a little terrain build? Yep. They're basically Chima Speedorz, without the Speedorz. Quote
DuckBricks Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 The Ultimate figs are certainly very interesting, and while it may be fun to play with the figures, I miss the game aspect of previous Action and Adventure Big Bang themes... The teams overload is so reminiscent of the old Space themes, and I really appreciate this... Quote

DuckBricks Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 I think there might be a game that involves hitting the targets shown in each set. Not all of them have shooters, though... I thought the the targets may be just props, but examining the Technic assemblies behind them, you may be correct... Certainly not as fun as Spinjitsu, Speedorz, or Airjitsu... Quote
DarthBrickus Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 I kinda like some of the good guy-sets, and i love the king's mech, but the bad guys all look positively awesome. Spider-legs-bat-wing-lady in the ultimates is my new favorite. Yep. They're basically Chima Speedorz, without the Speedorz. Truer words have rarely been said. Quote
Dr_Chronos Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 The Ultimates have really surprised me. Trans-color armor, printed shields covers without TRNO, a bad-guy sheild base variant, and fantastic stands have really hyped me up. Favorites from greatest to least would be: Macy. As I said before, I have a thing for gals with heavy weapons. In addition to her oversized minigun and standard mace, she also comes with a golden flaming axe of justice. Bonus points added because unlike Clay and Aaron she sports the candy-color-coated look much better. Robin. He is my smol engineer. Giant wrench missile backpack may be a little cumbersome in real life, but it looks pretty good. I also really like the science vibe his stand gives. Is it just me, or does he look like a mini Duke Exeter? Lavaria: Probably the most creative design. Spider legs and bat wings are a really sp00ky combination. She just looks fantastic. Aaron. Spring cannon crossbow, and more stud guns for good measure. The only reason he's not higher up on the list is that he looks like a member of the Green Lantern Corp. Clay. Of all the knights, Clay pulls off the colored look the worst. His equipment is alright and his stand is boring. Beast Master. Looks under armored and his chain propeller pack looks even worse than Clay's. Weapons are weird and even inconsistent (Why a drill? Why a weird space-warp thing?). I doubt I'll even pick him up.

x105Black Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 Truly Terrible Visors. That's one thing I think about these leaks. I'm disappointed in the trans colored armor and solid colored visors and helmets. I was hoping for more great silver stuff. These are full-on Jelly Beans. Ultimate Robin looks ridiculous, dwarfed by the huge bulky monstrosity on his back. Aaron looks like he's using Nerf weapons. Lavaria looks interesting. Might pick it up for the minifigure alone. The rest aren't worth mentioning (aside from the initial comments, which apply to all). Quote

I'm disappointed in the trans colored armor and solid colored visors and helmets. I was hoping for more great silver stuff. These are full-on Jelly Beans. Well, they're called Ultimates for a reason........ I knew that they would be similar to the NRG Ninjas as soon as I heard the name. P.S. Lance is obviously going to be an Ultimate in the summer wave, but who else will fill the remaining three gaps? Would Axel work as one? Quote
x105Black Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 Well I hoped Ultimate would mean "better" than the regular ones. Not "super-colorful" versions. Bulky was to be expected, though, as we had heard as much. We knew they were going to have armor with a bunch of attachments. I just hoped that the armor underneath would be useful to me. Lance could indeed have a summer wave Ultimate. I was anticipating his set, but after seeing these I'm pretty sure I will not be getting it. I was actually planning on buying multiples, expecting him to have the same silver visor he has in the other sets that have him, but now I'm thinking it will be one of those weird colorful space helmets (although at least his will be white). Still hoping to see this Infernox set. Quote
Rayskull Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 The ultimate figures are ACE! Those are exciting minifigures!!! Quote
x105Black Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 Just noticed that Lavaria has what appears to be a new wing mold, so at least there's one of these that might be worth getting. Quote
Rayskull Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 The visors, armor, and some of the weapons are transparent from the pics I'm looking at. Arron and Clay look pretty Awesome! Quote
x105Black Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 The visors, armor, and some of the weapons are transparent from the pics I'm looking at. Yeah, it seems that way. It was hard to tell initially, it looked like it was only the armor. But unfortunately, I think you're right. Amping up that sci-fi vibe. Quote
Exetrius Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 Just noticed that Lavaria has what appears to be a new wing mold, so at least there's one of these that might be worth getting. Those are bat wings from Chima (scorpio, spider, bat wave) I think these look absolutely fantastic! Like many others, my favorite is Macy, followed by Aaron and Robin, who indeed very much reminds me of Duke Exeter/Sentenials in general. But HO-LY CRAP! Have a look at those shields of Lavaria and Beast master. Not the collectible inlays, just the shields. Wow... WOW! For those who don't have pictures: those pieces are black and follow the same shape design as the black helmets of the lava baddies. Edit by Hinckley: Quote
x105Black Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 Those are bat wings from Chima (scorpio, spider, bat wave) Ah yes, that's where they came from. I initially thought they were dragon wings, but then noticed they were thinner. I still might get this one, as I never got any Chima. I consider it worse than Nexo Knights, actually. Still baffling how instead of a real castle we got a... Terrible Tank Vehicle. Quote
Pheonix1604 Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 These look really nice..does anyone know if those shields are printed or stickers though ??? Quote
