Bfahome Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 I don't quite understand the confusion. Rocka's a hero who gets an upgrade, temporary or otherwise. Like Bulk when he's fighting Vapor, except this time it's more than a couple of tubes and a jetpack. Quote
Kenta Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Scorpio... I have no interest in his little feet...but that torso seems interesting..im still wondering his size... and if his head is as small as his tiny feet. Quote
Ceroknight Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Is Rocka a higher rank than Stormer? Cause I think it should have been Stormer who should have became XL Quote
Kenta Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Is Rocka a higher rank than Stormer? Cause I think it should have been Stormer who should have became XL Well, I dont believe so... if you see some of the pictures of hero 2.0 all together Evo is the one in front and looks like a leader, even though stormer is most likely the leader... my guess is Lego just wanted to make a Rocka xL to promote the set so the kids want to get both versions of Rocka like bulk...and bulk and vapour Quote
CabooseBM Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 I'm kinda hoping for a Cybertron Overhaul -> Cybertron Leobreaker type upgrade going on. Quote
Refia Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) Seeing as how you're correct regarding the lackluster storyline, somehow I doubt anything will be done with Rocka XL other than having Rocka 3.0 "Power Up" for no apparent reason, becoming larger. Or maybe they'll just go the Titan Mata-Nui route and not include Rocka XL in the story at all. Edited January 15, 2011 by Refia Quote
Brickthing Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Or maybe they'll just go the Titan Mata-Nui route and not include Rocka XL in the story at all. Considering Rocka XL has a different name that is linked to the increased size, I think he/she will have a storyline purpose. I can't really see the normal Heroes defeating Witch Doctor, purely due to their size differences. Quote
ZORK64 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 There's also no indication that Rocka XL will be a Shop-exclusive like the Mata Nui Titan. Okay, since I never paid much attention to the story of Bionicle, I'm perhaps wrong about that, so... Quote
vexorian Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Rocka XL is no exclusive, it wouldn't have been in the retailer catalog... Quote
Kenta Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Rocka XL is no exclusive, it wouldn't have been in the retailer catalog... Speaking of store exclusives...what other rahi/creature would you like to see as a store exclusive...I myself would love a giant snake Quote
ZORK64 Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 A snake? Hmmm... why not? Sorry but I have to get a lil' bit off-topic... I recently bought Jetbug, and he got the older sockets (like most other Jetbugs), however a few days prior to this, I bought Rotor because of a price cut and guess what... Rotor had the new 2011 sockets. Oh, another thing: I never saw the Dropship here in Germany, not even in the Lego shop. Quote

Anyways if Lego does make a snake.. I believe that it would likely use the new large spike piece seen on witch doctor and scorpio as fangs or teeth.. Anybody else want a new type of Villian/creature as a store exclusive? Quote
InfiniToa Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 however a few days prior to this, I bought Rotor because of a price cut and guess what... Rotor had the new 2011 sockets. My Furno Bike alsoo had them oddly enough. Quote
Jouster Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 I would love to see a store exclusive animal villain set. But I don't think that we will get one. Mostly because we have enough sets for the summer, atleast in my opinion. Quote

Rotor had the new 2011 sockets. Lucky for you man. I just bought a Rotor on clearance too, but he has the super-crackity old 2009-style joints from the first production wave (the ones without the round indentation that came with the later 2010 HF sets).

That may be true, but in summer 2009 we had LOTS of sets...but then again Hero Factory is just beggining so my guess is it will start having more sets in future waves hopefully. Quote

Jetrax99 Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 I don't know about the rest of you guys, but once the 3.0 sets come out I'm getting doubles of Stormer, Stringer and Bulk because I plan on making a MOC of Kamen Rider OOO SaGoZo Combo. Quote
Drathalieo Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Hate to ask, but I haven't checked this topic in a while. Is there any new images of the 3.0 wave? Quote
Jetrax99 Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Hate to ask, but I haven't checked this topic in a while. Is there any new images of the 3.0 wave? As of yet, no. But ToyFair is next month so just be patient. We'll see new ones soon(this time of the actual sets). Quote
CabooseBM Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) I don't know about the rest of you guys, but once the 3.0 sets come out I'm getting doubles of Stormer, Stringer and Bulk because I plan on making a MOC of Kamen Rider OOO SaGoZo Combo. Well, the colors for the rest of the main combos are there. (Red hawk head, yellow lion head, as you mentioned, white rhino head.) Aside from anything green(So no Gatakiriba.). =C EDIT: Or blue for that matter! Edited January 17, 2011 by CabooseBM Quote
Jetrax99 Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) @ CabooseBM very true, however using Scorpio's head, I could pull off Gatakiriba. on another note, anybody else seen the Makuhero Star. Looks like they used a moded Von Nebula on the cover page. He has a Maxilos mask w/ fangs. It's probably a very early prototype, but cool none the less. Edited January 18, 2011 by Jetrax99 Quote

Jetrax99 Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) @ Kenta Oh.....sorry, it recently popped up on herofactory.wikia.com I hope von nebula makes a return in a later wave. Edited January 18, 2011 by Jetrax99 Quote
ZORK64 Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 As long as he get better arms... yeah! Btw, I just noticed some of my 1.0 HF sets (Von Nebula is one of them) has the older joints, not the new 2010 sockets. Quote
