_shaddow_ Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 The Recon Team-specific chestplate will be the only exclusive element available. It means there won't be any new black pieces ? I was kind of hoping to have at least the standardized helmet part in black. Quote
Front Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Nürnberg is the worlds biggest toy fair. I would be very surprised if not all 2011 HF sets were displayed. Quote
Aanchir Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Im pretty sure if Hero factory goes on they will eventually have a hero the same colour as another hero. I was looking at the New recon team and i then noticed for the colour selection there was a pinkish colour! Looking at the piece that's selected in the parts tray in that screenshot (I'm assuming we're looking at the same one), that color isn't pink but rather Transparent Fluorescent Reddish Orange-- Trans-Neon Orange to most AFOLs. It's a color that armor piece appeared in on some of the Fire Villains this year. Anyway, I'm not sure how many brand-new heroes Hero Factory is likely to introduce, at least in the near future. They've really managed to keep roughly the same set of heroes for three waves, plus three additions. That's something we never saw in BIONICLE-- although BIONICLE was a lot different in that it had alternating hero and villain canister sets, rather than consistently having the heroes in canisters and the villains in larger boxes. I wonder how well this new "format" is working out for Hero Factory? Does it boost the sales of the larger sets to any great extent? Quote
Aethersprite Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) Darn it Lego, I have now half the mind to skip the Winter sets and go full steam ahead with the Summer ones...

Well, it's a tried-and-tested formula that achieved a great level of success with Bionicle, so I guess Lego is going along with that... For now. Edited February 6, 2011 by Lockon Stratos Quote
Jetrax99 Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Rocka! Gold! AWESOME! -insert golden oldies joke here- Quote
Bfahome Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 I suspect it also uses a new variation of this TECHNIC piece with two axle holes instead in between the two ball/socket groups. It may just be this piece, more of which I always welcome. It means there won't be any new black pieces ? I was kind of hoping to have at least the standardized helmet part in black. Not necessarily. The black pieces wouldn't be "exclusive", since they'd appear in an[other] set. Quote
_shaddow_ Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Not necessarily. The black pieces wouldn't be "exclusive", since they'd appear in an[other] set. The problem is, i don't think we'll get any other sets using the standard helmet piece. Quote
Kenta Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 If i'm correct all the pieces that were released in Hero Factory will be parts for the recon team. So if we never got a torso in blue but we got a torso in black then the Recon team you can get the torso in blue as long as it has been released in a set no matter what color it was in that set.

VBBN Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Ive seen all the 3.0 heros in pretty much cgi quality, just dropping in to say I'm really digging them, and of course rocka being gold is good. Cant wait for the NY toyfair Quote

I'm a bit confused by your wording. As far as I know, the exact colour and piece must already exist in a set for it to be avaliable in the Recon Team Designer (except for the Recon chestplate), so blue torso pieces won't be avaliable. I presume the selection will be updated with the release of 3.0 sets, and eventually with 4.0 if the program is successful. Quote

If you look at the pictures of the Recon team closely the "bones" are in a dark blue which we haven't got yet. Quote
_shaddow_ Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 If you look at the pictures of the Recon team closely the "bones" are in a dark blue which we haven't got yet. I think it's simply supposed to be black. Quote
Kenta Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) I think it's simply supposed to be black. I dont think it is black, because i was looking at the color selection i saw black, blue and dark blue. Dark blue did not look like black. Edited February 6, 2011 by Kenta Quote
VBBN Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Pictures? I can answer questions to the extent of what I saw, the photos are not on my computer though. Quote
Mesonak Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) I can answer questions to the extent of what I saw, the photos are not on my computer though. The only question I have is if Stringer's secondary color is mata orange or keetorange? -Mesonak Edited February 6, 2011 by Mesonak Quote
Kenta Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 I can answer questions to the extent of what I saw, the photos are not on my computer though. Questions. 1. Did Waspix have wings? 2. Was Fangz able to move his jaw? 3. Describe Rocka xL and Scorpio. 4. Is it true that Witch Doctor has a "rib" on his back? Quote
_shaddow_ Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 The only question I have is if Stringer's secondary color is mata orange or keetorange? -Mesonak I'm pretty sure it's keetorange, personally. Quote
Mesonak Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) I'm pretty sure it's keetorange, personally. As am I, sadly. I'd like final confirmation before I lose hope, however. Edited February 6, 2011 by Mesonak Quote
Brickthing Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 As am I, sadly. I'd like final confirmation before I lose hope, however. Looks Keetorange to me as well. The claws, torso armour (on the torso) and Hero Core all look a faintly lighter colour than Nex's orange armour and chestplate. I'm glad that it is though, because it retains the unique core colour per Hero trend and respects the 1.0 core colours, even if it doesn't look as good as Orange. Stringer used a trans-orange core while Bulk used a trans-neon orange core, so Keetorange to Stringer and Orange to Bulk is a closer match. (That said, Surge and Furno switched core colours and Stormer unnecessarily dropped a shade.) I think I've properly figured out how Witch Doctor's shoulder/hip/ankle articulation works. I'll post a moc-up of his arm once I get a chance to take a photo of it. I also noticed that WD has 5 white Hero shields - he has one on each foot as well. Quote
Jouster Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 I do have some questions for you VBBN. 1. Can you describe Raw-Jaw's helmet ? 2. Is Rocka XL's leg design similar to Witch Doctor's or is it similar to Fire Lord's? 3. What colour is Rocka XL? 4. Can you describe Fangz' helmet? 5. Where did you see the pictures?And can you somehow manage to post them somewhere so everyone can see them? Quote
Mesonak Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Based on his wording, I think he only saw the heroes. Quote
