CM4Sci Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 It appears Lance's Mecha Horse converts into a giant motorcycle with a lance on the side. Awesome! Quote
DuckBricks Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Love the voices we've heard so far for the TV series, especially Jestro's! Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) Does Macy only appear in the pacman chariot set? I'm kinda disappointed about that. I thought the green character was female too. Guess you can't have more than one female in a theme, though. I don't know if I'll get Macy if she only comes in that big set. Love the black and molten lave villain though. Genuinely scary looking. The goofy face on the mohawk villain is a bit disappointing, but not a deal breaker. I'll definitely get a few of him (although perhaps not intentionally) Still want to see the generic soldier figures. ~Insectoid Aristocrat Edited October 8, 2015 by Dannylonglegs Quote
DuckBricks Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 In the meantime, here's a topic in Culture and Multimedia for the TV show discussion! Quote
danth Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) So, we get Black Falcons and Wolfpack? That's pretty cool. EDIT: Wow. The show actually looks really fun. Edited October 8, 2015 by danth Quote
Gomek Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 All that new heraldry and not a single one usable in traditional castle My thought exactly. As a Castle and Space collector I figured there would be something for me. New Shields, new armor.... Nothing. it all looks so cheap. I'm not sure how anyone is excited about this. Just awful. Quote
Aanchir Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) I'm not sure if anybody's linked to the press release yet. But that has a lot of details about this theme's sets, story, and app. My thought exactly. As a Castle and Space collector I figured there would be something for me. New Shields, new armor.... Nothing. it all looks so cheap. I'm not sure how anyone is excited about this. Just awful. I don't see anything about this theme that looks "cheap". On the contrary, it looks like LEGO put quite a bit of time, money, and effort into the new set and character designs. Definitely a lot more complex and imaginative than anything LEGO Castle's had in over half a decade. Edited October 8, 2015 by Aanchir Quote
Wardancer Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 All that new heraldry and not a single one usable in traditional castle Maybe one could use the surface of the shield only without the the techie backpart. Also I think the visors can be Imported in traditional castle. Quote
Dr_Chronos Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) It appears Lance's Mecha Horse converts into a giant motorcycle with a lance on the side. Awesome! How solid is the motorcycle mode? Does it look like an actual cycle or more like a horse rolling on its belly? I'm not sure if anybody's linked to the press release yet. But that has a lot of details about this theme's sets, story, and app. I did a couple posts back, but I'm glad it was brought back into discussion. Very interested to see how they'll handle the app. I'm a little disappointed that Macy is yet another princess, and I can't help but wonder how far the story will get in 20 episodes. Let's hope it doesn't turn out like Chima. Edited October 8, 2015 by Dr_Chronos Quote
benderisgreat Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 After reading official statement from Lego Golden Merlock actually makes sense! I just hope he is included in one of these sets. Quote

8BrickMario Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) I'm a little disappointed that Macy is yet another princess, and I can't help but wonder how far the story will get in 20 episodes. Let's hope it doesn't turn out like Chima. I'm very happy that she's a princess. Before, every princess was a damsel in distress that served to be rescued by the knights. Here, she's one of the knights and a developed character! About the hat, that's very common in cartoons, where hair or animal ears will react to emotions. It works here, as it makes Jestro seem more supernatural and cartoonish! Edited October 8, 2015 by 8BrickMario Quote
JimDude Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Looks like Jestro has a weird thing where when something happens, the tails on his hat perk up. Ouch, that's very Leprechaun Plop / Lutin Plop / Kabouter Plop, or whatever he is called round your parts. This being from Studio100, it's probably trademarked too. http://subsites.studio100.be/plop/ Quote
Kalhiki Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 I'm sold. Loving those minifigs. Does Axl have an armless minifig torso? Is that the first time Lego gave us one of those? I know you can pull the arms off, but I don't recall them ever giving us an armless torso on purpose. Very cool. So much new info. So much I want to say... Quote
CaptainToad Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 yes, I must admit its a very creative new theme for lego - I just wish they would have put as much creativity into their recent castle and pirates themes definitely not for me Quote
x105Black Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Interesting that Macy's a princess. Of course she is. I think the villains are interesting, but the heroes are too much space and not enough castle for me. This theme is a weird in-between that I don't think works. Same. Very Space / Sci-fi. All that new heraldry and not a single one usable in traditional castle Exactly. So, we get Black Falcons and Wolfpack? Not exactly. yes, I must admit its a very creative new theme for lego - I just wish they would have put as much creativity into their recent castle and pirates themes definitely not for me I completely agree with this. The Knights look too futuristic, unfortunately. I want to see the Knights with their visors down. That way I could see if the visors will be useful or not. It looks like Lance's and Macy's might be. There are a few pieces and minifigures that look good, but I don't really feel compelled to buy any sets. Jestro looks like the awful spawn of the Joker and Harley Quinn. The best looking minifigures come with the worst sets (the villain in Fortrex, Macy in the Pac-Man Podracer, and Lance in, well, either of the sets he's in). The Book is a cool piece, though. I hope the parts I like will be on the secondary market at a nice low price. Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) I'm looking forward to seeing what the ultimate sets have that I can buy for cheaper than the regular sets so that I don't have to buy them! Hope the (very New-Yorker sounding) Legonomicon comes in an ultimate set! I forget, does Macy have an Ultimate set? Also really want to see that Library. ~Insectoid Aristocrat Edited October 8, 2015 by Dannylonglegs Quote
SerenityInFire Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 After seeing some of the sets and the minifigs, this theme is a total pass for me. Quote
kevkipo Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Ohh boy... what is happening all of a sudden. Ooooh look at that a new sword! ooh and look a new shield piece! i have soo much reading to do Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) A lot of the new heads are great. I'll have to try and grab as many as I can. I really like the green guy's head. I love that Jestro seems to have a double sided head. They all do, I think. ~Insectoid Aristocrat Edited October 8, 2015 by Dannylonglegs Quote
x105Black Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 I'd like a Jestro before he becomes evil: And not too keen on most of the visors: Lance's might still be cool, though. The others are too sparse (red & green knights), too bulky and specific (yellow knight), or too sport / American football (blue knight). The heads aren't bad, although I don't really like the lip color on Macy. The cartoon itself looks cheesy. Like bad Castle mixed with Sci-fi. Like Visionaries meets Tron in a bad way. Merlok 2.0. Nuts, I really wish they'd spend this type of energy making a Castle theme. It would be so good if they did. Instead we get this mess. Quote
Gadzooks Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) The TNRO is way more red than the art shows. Otherwise, the knights are awesome. Edited October 8, 2015 by Gadzooks Quote
Tygurah Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Okay Lego, you got me, definitely getting at least some of the sets, the figures look awesome. Still, I'm kind of sad we aren't getting new mold for Jestro's hat, they didn't even bother to print on the stitches Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Yeah, I'd love to have that turquoise/aqua and purple jester hat! Maybe he'll be redeemed like Garmadon and we'll see his good form. :shrug: ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
benderisgreat Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Jestros set is a cool looking one, but it only has 2 minifigs? It was rumored to be a 50$ set, and we only get 2 minifigs and buildable monster. But Jestro is a must get figure I think. While Knights have ultimately set as a way to get them for cheap, Jestro only comes in one set. Wouldn't it make sense to include him in 2 sets , as he is the bad guy of this theme? Quote
