x105Black Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 Some of the minifigure parts in the D2C set could actually be quite useful for Castle builds. Quote

But I don't think he's going to cry and whine about it like BrickQueen does Quote

This encourages the thief to continue with this activity. That being said, set is AWESOME. Quote

What, exactly, do yòu intend to do about it? Heck; what do you expect any of us to do about it? Because what you're doing right now amounts to telling us we're all horrible people for looking at pictures on the internet. How does this benefit anyone? You're entitled to your opinions, and this is a forum of public discourse. But if all you have is insults for your fellow AFOL and TFOL, please, keep them to yourself. I’m not attempting to insult anyone, if you’re offended that’s your problem I’m just pointing out facts. What do I intend to do about? I intend in having conversions with Lego and as I previously stated screenshot the evidence and send it Lego’s way.

lego_guyon02 Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 Can we please just stop whining about leaks and continue with a normal discussion? The sources of leaks are wrong, since the leaked figures/sets are almost always illegally obtained. But we're all in a way profiting of them, since it gives us something to talk about. And be honest with yourself, without these leaks this forum wouldn't nearly be as big as it is now. And as LEGO fans we can't do anything about leaks going online, so there's no need to call out other people on it. Also, reporting people to LEGO will only enlarge the problem J4ck. You're reporting people who send the leaks around, why? They haven't stolen anything and therefore aren't doing anything illegal... Quote

Exetrius Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 The Apocalypseburg set is really cool, and I'm glad the location and citizens get covered extensively! Superb figure designs, they look.. how should I word it... super tough! The Statue of Liberty (most notably the shoulder and arm) seems to rely quite a bit on large specialized parts for its shaping, which contrasts with the finer, denser builds of the living containers. Anyway, what's really impressive is how the set appears to have an overall non-rectangular grid, closed up (complete and displayable) for the full 360 degrees, while also providing interior and connectivity of the levels from ground to top. I don't know if this was mentioned already, but the barbed wire is back (look next to the cloth curtain), for the first time since 2010! Quote

Captain Nemo Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 Ok everyone, back to set discussion only, please. Thanks. Quote
Wesley D Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 I wasn't lucky, a toy store over here has the sets, but isn't allowed to sell them yet. I'm going to return for Benny's Space Squad. Emmet's Dream House looks fun, but expensive because of the rocket/dystopian elements. The DUPLO set is nice, but also expensive! For the rest I haven't much use. I hope the CMF series offers some figures in my interest: perhaps a red spaceman and a blue one with unbroken helmet and especially minifigures that go well with City. I loved the series of the first movie! The D2C set looks nice! I won't get it because of other interests. What I don't like is the inclusion of licensed figures in the movie. As if LEGO isn't interesting enough on its own! I expect the movie to be like the first. Colorful, fun and with LEGO specific jokes, but too (!) fast paced for me. Quote
Falconfan1414 Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 Wizard of Oz figures are coming the cmf! Quote
Kim-Kwang-Seok Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 CMF just leaked. Kind of similar to the last one, not toooo interesting - some figs are just themed in their alternate outfits, like Abraham Lincoln (Vampire hunter?!) or Cowboy Rex. Quote
Falconfan1414 Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 Standouts are the wizard of oz characters, the swamp creature, president business, Abe Lincoln, giraffe suit guy, and the watermelon suit guy. Overall a decent series Quote
1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 Oh wow! I am so happy to complete the Wizard of Oz main characters and to add more suits to the suit collection!!! Quote

Wesley D Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 Pff, really disappointed, another CMF series without a single minifigure I really want. Fans will like the Oz-themed minifigures, but I think it's strange they come within this series. When will we get a regular CMF series again with a minifigure for everyone? Ik guess they are indeed out of inspiration. Quote
