I find it amusing that you say Furno is the worst hero set yet you use his helmet as your avatar.

Yes, but I hate my avatar.

^lol

Meltdown as the worst villan? 0.o

Corrodor quite clearly isnt as good as him IMO.

Meltdown and Corroder are definitely the best of the $13 villains. Thunder or XPlode are both pretty average, poor by comparison. Thunder because of his claw-arm. The claw is too weak, and the Inika armor is super annoying. XPlode... just doesn't work very well for me. His armor is better when you put it up against his arms a little closer, but it's still... off.

I knew that would disagree with you but it's really the weapon and awful head articulation. Though I admit it's shocking that Corroder doesn't have articulated arms, but really, his weapons and helmet are awesome. It was close though.

One a side note, fan of Disturbed I see.

The articulation doesnt really bother me, the way mine is posed it doesnt require it to move side to side at all.

Yeah, I like Corroder's mask but the weapons make me think of the Vahki Bordahk, Air katanam, and takanuva staff; Used way too much. I don't like how they make up the bulk of his torso, it doesnt look good IMO.

Oh and I agree with Surge being the most surprsingly good set.

Yeah, I'm sad I couldn't think of one for Nat though. I love her, wonderful mask. Ooh, I know, best helmet! Can't be bothered to edit it though.

Good taste in music by the way.

Has anybody seen the Hero Factory Build a Hero game? You can make your own colors of heroes and use any of the hero pieces in any color you want.

If only you could order it when you are finished !

Yup, it was art of a large discussion some pages back.

I am suddenly interested in Hero Factory. I see at the US Lego store, they still have them all in stock. Does anyone have an idea of how long they will be sold? I have the notion to buy them all! But not all at once of course. So I guess I should be buying the Heroes first since they released earlier?

I am just curios of how long I may have to buy them before they run out. I know lego sets can be produced anywhere from months to years. But maybe Bionicle (thus Hero Factory) has longer or shorter production runs?

Well, HF launched in august this year, so they haven't been out long. We also haven't seen any pictures of new sets, so these should stay in production long enough until the second wave comes out(if there even is a second wave).

There's going to be a second wave.

I just noticed that the Bulk and Vapour set is labeled as Hard to Find on the US store, that means it going to be discontinued soon if not already right?

[dviddy]

Bulk and Vapour is a store exclusive. You can only find it at Toys R Us, and maybe the Lego Store. That's why it's labeled as hard to find.

Just finally got around to reading this from the UK magazine. I lol'ed thoroughly, particularly at the classifieds.

My oh my! Only september and we've already known almost all about the story!

[Mesonak]

Um... I highly doubt that was actual story.

More like Non-Canon promotional material.

Yeah. I'll bet it's also meant to tie in with the UK-specific ad featuring Earthling "testimonials" from various countries about the heroes.

Certainly the part about Furno signing a three-year contract with a football team (that's European football, not American football) isn't canon, unless Hero Factory is planning to engage in a massive genre shift.

[Monasti]

I see you found my images ;).

I like the newspaper, it adds to the comedy value.

In particular "Fordium Escortus for sale"

Ford Escort. Hillarious.

[Cryokina]

No one seems to have noticed, but the latest Hero Factory podcast has been up for a while. What I really liked here was the line "Sweet gas of Uranus!" and what sounded like a brief Back to the Future reference near the end, with the mention of a flux capacitor...

[Gahrak]

Anybody can upload this video on YouTube or other one?

I can't see it, I'm not in United States...

Nicktoons HF Trailer

Thanks!

[cylex7]

I'm wondering which two villains I should get... It's between Rotor, Meltdown, and Xplode. I just CAN'T DECIDE! I need opinions from those who own them all... Please? Thanks in advance!

[minifgure_fan]

cylex7-

I think you should get rotor and meltdown. One, because rotor and some decent pieces, and 2, Meltdown is downright awesome.

Hope this helps!

Anyone knows where I can read HF comic 2? Is it on BZP? Thanks!

[Mesonak]

@minifigure fan: Yeah, you're right; Those are excellent sets.

Also, Lockon, here you go. Scans of whole comic. :)
