Capt Winters Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 End of this month? Try two days from now. We probably won't get comprehensive information about the full theme, considering the lack of photography, but we'll probably get plenty of anecdotes and maybe even a full set reveal, if one of the sets is lucky enough to win an award at the show. I thought the Toy Fair starts on the 24th Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 I thought the Toy Fair starts on the 24th It does, I don't know what they mean by two days. Quote
Mr Greeble Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Hmmm. Think I'm gonna go for the Blade. Thanks for all your input, guys! Quote

But the Nuremberg Toy Fair starts later next week immediately following the London Toy Fair. Photos are allowed at that Toy Fair, so one way or another, we will have some pics of all summer sets by the end of next week and probably some set descriptions prior to that from LTF. Quote

London is the Toy Fair that traditionally doesn't allow photography. Nuremberg does, but the coverage won't be as extensive as New York. IIRC Toyark typically has good coverage of Nuremberg; we can keep a lookout on them. Quote
x105Black Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 With these no photography rules, we need to send someone like CM4Sci to draw everything. Quote

Too many Toy Fairs to keep track of. Quote
CM4Sci Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 With these no photography rules, we need to send someone like CM4Sci to draw everything. Thanks, but if I do that again, I'm gone from here forever! If I get pictures at some point soon, which I doubt because for some reason my friends haven't obtained what they did before, I will post descriptions here and drawings elsewhere. Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 I'm hoping I can obtain pictures soon before toy fair, but it seems like that's not going to be the case. I thought London allowed photography, but not of the licensed stuff. Or was that Nuremburg? Too many Toy Fairs to keep track of. London doesn't allow photography. Nuremberg allows pictures but don't expect a lot of them. New York toy fair allows photography for almost all the themes execept the movie sets, but that hasn't stopped people. Quote
BrickFit26 Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Looking forward to hear news from the toyfair. Quote
Lyichir Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 I thought the Toy Fair starts on the 24th Ah, shoot, my bad. I did a google search and it gave me the dates for LAST YEAR'S event... I didn't notice that the year wasn't right. Starting on a Wednesday should've tipped me off... Oh well, it's still not too long to wait! Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Does anybody know, whether there are going to be new suits for the Knights in summer sets or not? From what I'm hearing, they don't have much differences. Quote
TomKraut Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 I wouldn't be surprised if there were small differences in the figures prints. Maybe like in the app where the armor gets a little darker with each upgrade. To a child, it wouldn't make much difference so parents can spread out the acquisition of the team over the whole year but for collectors it would be a strong incentive to buy more sets. Quote

Specific hair pieces should be the first step though... (with the Ultimates, my amor collector urges are already satisfy for 2016) humm, the Fortrex is up to 99€ on lego shop Germany, but 30% discount on French amazon 70€...

They just get darker from T2 to T4, the final T5 upgrade looks exactly like the buyable ultimates. So I guess, we will not get the T2 to T4 versions in summer. Got the fortrex on friday (together with chaos chariot and ultimate beastmaster/lavaria for 130€) and I really like it. The only letdown is this horrible gap in the side. This part could have been designed much better. Quote
NotMegalodon Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 humm, 30% discount on French amazon for the Fortrex... Great! Now amazon.DE just has to follow suit. FR charges 6.60€ for delivery to The Netherlands Quote
DraikNova Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Aren't there usually a ton of youtube videos of the Nuremberg fair? Quote
CM4Sci Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Aren't there usually a ton of youtube videos of the Nuremberg fair? Yep, they post them themselves on their YT channel. Quote
DraikNova Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Then why are people saying we won't see much from it? Quote
ChristopheQ Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) Great! Now amazon.DE just has to follow suit. FR charges 6.60€ for delivery to The Netherlands I am in Poland, same delivery cost. So, I hope german prices will go down... But for the Bounty, France Amazon had a 30% discount for half of November and December, while german prices were significantly higher... So I am not sure I should wait, maybe better to now use my parents living in France... (My wife complain my Lego budget is half the GDP of Poland, but the effort (methodical web browsing, field visit in the shops, sleepless nights of optimization...) I put everyday to save a couple of bucks should offer me much more consideration...) Edited January 19, 2016 by ChristopheQ Quote

ChristopheQ Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) What gap? the ugly separation where the walls will open. The biggest loophole/arrow slit in history. First thing I will correct with hinge brick 1x4. Funny the old classic castle were much better in that regard. A technical issue maybe ? or did they do it for the friction ? or to gain 1 stud in length ? Edited January 19, 2016 by ChristopheQ Quote
Rayskull Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 It deserves a break, it does too many things well to focus on that, and it disappears when opened :) Quote

Funny the old classic castle were much better in that regard. A technical issue maybe ? I also will correct it. Already tested the old cc parts and it works fine. Size of the fortrex doesnt change. I dont think its a technical issue, but a building one. With the used parts, you can build the fortrex in three parts and put them together. If u use the parts that also were used in cc, you would have to build the whole fortrex in one part. Edited January 19, 2016 by Sylvius Quote

Are you sure the size doesn't change ? using hinge brick 1x4 and not hinge brick with locking 2 fingers horizontal, together they are 1x5 no ?... Quote
