Thanks for the link. :thumbup:

I'm also going to pass on this one, although it looks quite sleek compared to the prelims.

Seeing the Lava Monsters up close really made me appreciate them for what they are. Ash Attacker is just perfect. :cry_happy:

I will pass as well, but my son should get it so I can steal him the minion and a bot for my Fortrex :devil:

Seing how useless the bots are, If I were Clay am not sure I would like to give my 2 bikes... :sceptic:

on Jang' review : much more complete than the chaos chariot review

Very happy to see the shield,

and Clay's secondary face is super angry !

Think I am going to pass on this theme. It's original but I like the old castle sets better (I got most of the sets from Castle I from 2000). Only set I might buy is the Jestro's Evil Mobile, that one looks really cool :-D The King's mech and Fortrex also looks cool but not sure if I'm going to buy those. Besides those 3 sets not really interested in the others.

Errr, because it's classic Castle, right?

Yes and no.

Yes, because it does happen to be a classic Castle sword.

No, because it just has a much better aesthetic. It isn't as ridiculously bulky. It doesn't have the trans neon red orange insert. It looks like a typical sword rather than a science fiction weapon. It's chrome.

Update Dec 16 -

SO I CAN CONFIRM: Nabbed a Lance's Robo-Horse from Walmart (in Canada) late this morning (TY Nexo Santa!). They also had Moltor's Lava Launcher(s) and the Blade Cruiser(s) on the shelf. Didn't see the Chariot. During a chat with an asst. manager who was stocking the aisle at the time, she mentionend two things of interest. 1) They were knowlingly putting it out early and as soon as they arrived, and 2) they had received one case that contained these three sets and had put the entire content out.

If you are a Canadian AFOL with interest buying these a few weeks early, I'd go in the next day or so.

Further to Kwatchi's earlier post, Amazon.ca now has the Lava Smasher, Rumble Blade and Chariot listed for sale with delivery by December 22nd.

Brickshow fortrex build video, review soon. It confirms my impression : it feels small (having a high brick density). After verification : 25x21x24cm

for comparison the Bounty is 20$ more, but double the size (59x34x23) and double the minifigs (9 and 2 minions, compare to 4 and 3 minions). No cools armors nor big Axl, but the dragon is huge and way cooler than the villain "bike".

But I will still buy it :)

Fortrex review :

I like the build, my main complaint would be the long holes on both side walls (for the articulation of the transformation)

on a side note :

I really don't think the biggest flaw of Chima cartoons was the numbers (to high) of characters (as said on the review)...

Fortrex looks fantastic! I love how neatly everything folds up inside! The drawbridge mechanism is nice and smooth, and there are so many great features such as the kitchen and training area — things that traditional LEGO castles often lack. There's also a good selection of figures. Merlok in particular looks WAY better in this video than he did in the previous pictures we'd seen of him.
