I would rather have giant monsters than vehicles, hands down.

I totally agree.

Hopefully, we'll have Heroes riding battle creatures or something like that in the coming waves to come. Something like the Baranus but on a more epic scale.

hmmmm no vehicles again?

Along with the replacement creatures, there are also more small sets. BIONICLE never had small sets in the summer, while Hero Factory always has a line of small sets, so there can't be as many large sets in the summer.

Personally I'd like to see vehicle sets built in the new system, because although the large creatures are a nice change from vehicles, the sets probably aren't forcing the new pieces to be used in creative ways.

I second you on this. While the creatures are both a good change and also something in which we enjoyed previously in the form of Rahi, they are also vry lazily constructed animals. Take a humanoid figure, put him on all fours, add some back armor, a tail, and a somewhate-animal-like head, and there you go, it's an animal. I'm not saying lego is bad at making animals, what Im saying is these figures arent the right kind. Sure, scorpion is okay. But he's the biggest one. I mean, we only have 4 animals here guys, One of which is a very humanoid wasp-styled one. I would have prefered to see BIG creatures, with multiple piece heads with jaws and such like fenrahk or something. Being small it just doesnt look like effort was put into them, especially when they have the exact same armor pieces as the heros in essence.(And so did the fire villains, something that annoys me quite a bit)

Now with that said, who knows what would come with vehicles. When we got our latest vehicle, Furno bike and Dropship, they barely used any of the hero factory bits, and focused completely on bionicle and technic. Vehicles would give us not only the complicated builds that are lacking in these sets, but also force lego to, as Brickthing implied, find new ways to use the new pieces in some way.

I agree, the wasp design was terrible, all they did with that was just add another pair of arms and a head. I wouldn't mind Waspix if we didnt have wasp designs every year. C'mon lego atleast give us something unique. Mamut/raw jaw was a nice set... it wasn't too much buglike it was just some nice new pieces and recolors. Scorpio needs a way bigger more menacing head and he is done. Fangz I will not judge given a terrible photo i can only see his legs and some of his body.Lego needs to try more newer designs in future waves.

Actually Waspix is very unique, It beats out the bug designs of 2008 by a milestone, it cobines the mosquito style of 4 arms that Gorast had and takes it a step further by adding on a stringer and thorax, as well as a much more solid ooking design overall. My point though is, it's not enough. Anything that breaks away from the humanoid fom is fine by me, but effort is what is needed.

Don't dis Waspix. That guy is a damned good attempt at creating a monstrous bug form. I love him.

But I understand your sentiments. The villains have been very one-note despite their variation in armor, weapons, and heads. I would also like to see some more varied body structure, which is what made the first wave of villains so cool.

I like waspix but im just tired of all the yellow insects. Waspix final design hopefully will have some wings...

I would rather have giant mechs than giant creatures or vehicles. Did you know the exo-toa is 1.0 Heroes-compatible? and it may even be compatible with the 2011 heroes, but I did not try yet (and I won't until the heroes arrive to my town and that's probably going to be 10 months...)

It looks like he already has some wing-like things. Might just be a bad angle.

But I don't care, I'm getting him for parts.

All the yellow insects? All we have had was Bitil.

Niiiice. I wouldn't have thought to try that.

yellow rakshi kinda counts as an insect I guess...

Well then 2. But to kenta, you arent tired of, just take a random example, furno? A red hero? Already got three, pretty positiv many more will be on there way. The thing about villains is they are unique, a, whatever kinda creature you want to call a rahkshi, beetle like bitil, or wasp like waspix, they are different in design and have things that make them special and cool in their own way. Something like a red hero gets changed in armor. Maybe each one is unique, but you get my point.

Just noticed - Mamut/Raw-Jaw looks to have the Ben Ten feet (from the sand green one) recolored in red.

These sets really don't look too bad, though; I'm gonna' see what I can get this summer. I want the villains and titans, at least.

Yup, that has been mentioned already. I don't mind, never got any of those Ben 10 sets...

Also, I really can't see how Lego will be able to pull off a vehicle in this new building system. After all, to put it bluntly, it's armour slapped on a skeleton - how would they do a vehicle like that? I'd agree with vexorian, a mech seems more plausible (and much cooler).

Well look at the 2008 sets. You take a look atthem and go, "no, they couldnt make vehicle out of these." But, they could. They would be mostly technic obviously, they wouldnt nessecarily have to use the new new system.

Has anybody tried MOCing the new hero factory armour onto old bionicle legs,arms,tails and bodies. It would be a great experiment if it turns out right.

I don't believe this has been posted here yet, or the origin of the video, but I thought the name was kickass. "Welcome to the Savage Planet". With some more detailed pics of the villains to boot.

Wow I really like the new yellow one's wolverine like weapon

They still don't have duel weapons though

The new Hero Factory website is updated. Go check it out! Oh,and Ordeal of Fire is the name of the new upcoming Hero Factory mini series. The trailer for it is really epic!

EDIT: It seems the Hero Pad feature and the trailer for the new mini series have been removed for some reason..

Edited January 4, 201114 yr by Jouster

Oh man, that trailer. Looks like the story is taking a slightly darker tone. I love it. :)

HeroPad feature seems to be epic, don't know why they removed it. By the way, I uploaded the introduction from the first challenge onto YouTube.

. I hope someone managed to save that trailer, cause I didn't see it.

Edited January 4, 201114 yr by Pro_Ice

The HeroPad was supposed to launch today, but we are having technical issues getting it live; hopefully it'll be live Wednesday.

I had to pull down the teaser movie temporarily, hope to get it back online by late this week or early next week.

Anybody who bought a canister should have kept their lids and the unique code inside, you'll need it.

I noticed that the Hero Pad had some problems, mostly because It would not open. But I hope you'll fix it.

Could someone please tell me what the Hero Pad system is/was?
