Exo-Force Pics

Or maybe coming out later in the year ???

That's what I was thinking, but the article appears to say that there's 11 sets coming out in January (including the $99.99 set) and MORE sets coming out in the Summer.

I wonder what the $100 set can be? A headquarters?

The mountain?

SKU means "Stock Keeping Unit"...it's a number assigned to a product by a retail store for inventory purposes or for computer scanning...so yeah, that'd be 11 different items or sets.

So far we've seen 8 which leaves 3 mystery sets, including a $99 set that's either a large headquarters or some huge repair bay or giant mech. The back of the boxes of the current sets only show 8, as does the LEGO site.

It could also be possible that the article is slightly mistaken and only 11 sets will be out this year with the first 8 coming out now and the last 3 in the summer with the big one. Remember a couple years ago when the Alpha Team: Mission Deep Sea sets came out that the second wave was only like 2 or 3 new sets?

Guess we'll know in a couple weeks for sure

Disn't care about reading thoroughly the comic but the gate lies in between the 2 worlds (robots and human) !!

So the real question is: what lies beyond the gate ??? Since its always a story of good vs evil, we can easily assume that the robots crush the gate to enter the good guys' territory. Ok that doesn't say much but since there is a wave 2 (if Sam is right about the article) I don't see the good guys' base that early in the "story" . Or it could, and the robots destroy the human base then in wave 2, the human get their revenge with meaner Mechas and finally destroy the robots !!!

Lets the fighting begin ;)

That might be something not told until 2007 or whenever. You know, instead of like having Alpha Team jump from theme to theme with no explanation, maybe these guys tell more of a story.

I think its their base.

It seems that the shoulder armor on the human's mech in the Gate Assault set seems to be this piece:

The piece

Nice to see 4+ pieces being used.

[Darkness Falls]

Wow, the gate assault set is a great starter set. It has the humans and robots, two mechs, a damn wall, and a car... for 30 bucks? Wow, Lego didn't lie when they said low prices.

Seriously, Exo-force is looking pretty good. The heads a spin arounds, which is nice, and the Mechs are amazing.

[KMOI]

I have to agree with Darkness and Kotua here. I was mistaken about these sets. They plain out rock. Rock like never before.

And on the topic of the theme, Exo-Force takes place around a mountain with multiple bridges leading across. In the gate set, that's the entrance to the Human's side of the mountain. Ther's also a robot gate on the other side of the bridge that leads to the robot's side. Eat side of the mountain appears to be a massive world. For people who are warring with each other, their worlds look very similar. If you watch the comic, you catch a glimpse into the Robot world and it's actually alot like the landing bay area of the humans. *wacko*

I hope this line does well. You've got great sets that can really floor kids here. I just hope that they make this storyline interesting. The battle is over a bridge. One flipping bridge! Come on! If they're going to do this, at least make is a very large bridge like the one seen in Star Wars. Because I tell, ya, it makes a dull story if it's a battle over a two-lane bridge. |-/

Lego already had the preview site up on November 16. All you had to do was type in "EXO2006" in the club code box and it would send you right there. :)

[Clone comander Nodra 999]

|-D thank u so much mr.Kopaca |-D

[Clone comander Nodra 999]

I realy like the sonic phantom, It reminds me of those robot planes from terminator. I also think the fire vulture is cool too

We've seen sir!

Go a few pages back.

But its a good site, isn't it?

[Darkness Falls]

I love the new Robot Minifigures, but I can't help but raise a question:

If the Exo-suits are mechanical, then why don't the Robots build themselves into the suits instead of having to double production by building a Mech and a Robot pilot?

Just helping out Commander Nodra, sir! After all, I don't want to sic his army on me! What good would I be if I was riddled with laser bullets? ;)

And yes, this is one heck of a site. I really like the new layout all the theme sites, with the exception of the Harry Potter and Bionicle one.

Well, perhaps the robots have a far more mysterious origin that thought out. That or a massive plot hole. I like plot holes. Because even though they make the story more confusing, it usually makes the fights more interesting. |-D

Also, Maybe the robots didn't want to get completely wrecked in a fight. Because even if their mech explodes, they will survive. It's like a fail-safe mechanism, you see? :)

[Deinonychus]

That's easy...large battle mechs are probably very energy intensive and cumbersome where smaller human sized robots consume less energy on a constant basis and also allow for better personal interaction (ie subjugation) of standard sized humans. It's probably best for the robots to stay "small" for day-to day activities and only bring out the energy guzzling mechs when it's time for combat...plus, they seem to be confined to a single mountain which is sure to have limited resources.

Or...

It's just cooler to have little robot pilots in big robot war machines

Sorry guys, right after i asked i answered my own question by reading the entire forum. MattZitron how did u come up with that name? it sounds like a mix of Matt and Megatron. And one more thing how come the pics at the begining of these posts never work?

[SuvieD]

That is his name. |-D

I really want the gate set. I want the black and red hair. Plus all those great parts for building mecha and futuristic laser weapons :D

Yep, Matt Zitron is my name:

Here's Proof.

I just got the Exo Force gate set from Amazon, and if nobody minds I'll be doing a photo review for it later tonight (it's about 7 PM for me right now). I have to do something for class, then build it, but I'll definitely get it done tonight.

Oh, and just letting you know, the Red hair is quite nice, but the black hair sucks >-|

[sam89]

There's some new (small) pics of the sets on LEGO's website:

The pictures on the left side of the page (with the white bacckground) are new.

[The Middleman]

I just picked up Sonic Phantom. I have mixed thoughts on it. I may do a picture review.

[snefroe]

i found these two pics of the exo force on brickshelf. i'm not sure if these are official sets, tho, they look like alternative versions of official models, still, the left speeder looks very good! hm... i may even buy that one....

They're definitely alternative models of the cheapest sets of both the human, and robot mechs. Still pretty cool
