jonwil Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Anyone got pictures of the scientist guy from the tripod set? Is the set with the farmer in it out yet (and if so, anyone got pictures of the farmer?) Quote
Iysk Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I lost my Lego calendar, but does the release coincide with the May 3rd/4th day? Or is it later? IIRC, it was may 10 these sets are released? Quote
sidersdd Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 More pics posted, including figs from the tripod set: Quote
Ceroknight Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Thank you so much! The scientist's torso will make a very good Doctor Tennant figure: Blue suit Sonic screwdriver like pen in his chest pocket Very good torso And there are no yellow skin markings so you can make it a fleshy easily as well Square glasses face is also good. Can't wait Quote
Masked Builder Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Boy those look really good! I think I'll pick up the $10 set for now along with the Mill from PoTC... Quote

r4-g9 Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) the website is out! there is not much to it yet, a shotting game where you try to shoot down aliens, a short clip from a movie making me think that their will be more movies to come soon and a question box where you can ask the aliens questions and they might answer them in a video in july when they invade.

krystalKING Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Just finished looking at the alien conquest minisite,quite nice I think. There is a interesting news video. PS to get there just type in the following alienconquest.lego.com Quote
colethegeek Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I love what I've seen of Alien Conquest so far! I know that if I was 10, I would be begging for every single one of them (certainly would take up my entire Christmas list). My favorite childhood set was the Alien Avenger (6975), which I still proudly display. That being said, I will most likely be only buying the Alien Abduction set (7052) and maybe just a battle pack/polybag or two to get the earth defense minifig (I love the blue, well, everything). I like the color scheme of the series from what I can tell. I'm not completely sure how I feel about the alien minifigs yet, but time will tell when I actually see them in person. I think the alien pet is brilliant and I wish he was more accessible than the big sets (but I'm sure LEGO wanted it that way). The whole thing seems like a modernized 1950's alien attack type theme, which I think is what draws me towards it so much. Quote
Tony Almeida Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) If I were to buy only one set it'd be one of the ADU themed ones, because they're the good guys (also the same reasoning I'd use if I was 10) Edited April 29, 2011 by Tony Almeida Quote
eiker86 Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Anyone got pictures of the scientist guy from the tripod set? Is the set with the farmer in it out yet (and if so, anyone got pictures of the farmer?) after what i heard from the designer today. The alien conquest isnt out until june in europe and august in usa. Thats sounds like a official release date. Pictures of the boxes i have and some of the sets. Also got pics of the professor. Quote
Gregorovich Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Pictures of the boxes i have and some of the sets. Also got pics of the professor. Please share them with us! I've still to see images of the boxes. Quote
sidersdd Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Is the set with the farmer in it out yet (and if so, anyone got pictures of the farmer?) Set 7052 - UFO Abduction (the one with the farmer) is available on TRU.com now: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11486128 Please share them with us! I've still to see images of the boxes. I've been uploading pics of 7050 in prep for my set review here: Quote
Rocketbilly Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Superb! sets are looking great. I love the civilians fleeing in terror in the background on the back of the box. That's charming! Quote
vexorian Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 If the box smaller than usual for sets of the size? Quote
CMP Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 That $10 set is growing on me! It's not growing on me. Honestly that's a poor excuse for a set. I'll need to get 2 to properly MOD it... Quote
Capt.JohnPaul Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 It's not growing on me. Honestly that's a poor excuse for a set. I'll need to get 2 to properly MOD it... Really? It looks cool to me. It has a trans-blue piece, two of the new pistols with two barrels , and a cheap way to get an ADU soldier and Alien with his laser. Plus, as I said again, it looks fine and think that it will sell well with kids. Quote

But of course all of these sets are gonna sell well to kids. Quote

vexorian Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) I think that for long the main intention of the small sets was to give us minifigs and useful parts so that we could buy on impulse. In that regards, I couldn't have any complaints. There are two of the new guns, the sci fi gun in a new silver, and the trans blue thing is just too nice. The minifigs are good too. Even though the more I see the brain of the aliens the more it looks to me as hideous detail excess, and I don't really like the glasses print of that fig, they look very strange. The ADU uniform is useful though. Edited April 29, 2011 by vexorian Quote

Yea the mixture of 1950s alien attack stuff and more modern type weapons for the humans (plus the odd but kinda cool color scheme) looks really good. I'll definitely get a few duplicates of most of these. Quote

Capt.JohnPaul Yep, you get a total of three of those. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=7050-1 They used the pistols to look like some sort of support bar/shocks, like you'd see on an ATV, as far as I can tell.

Wait, you get a spare pistol in that set? Do they normally include spare pieces like this in a set? I thought that only common and smaller pieces (antenna pieces, visors, studs and so on) were included as spares. Either way, that's great news for additional figure customisation. The civilian figure with the tripod is great, whether you want to use it as a normal businessman or the Tenth Doctor. We definitely need more variety with minifigs like this. Edit: oh look! The weapons in the Defender can be removed easily without ruining the design. More weapons, yay! Edited April 30, 2011 by Delta 38 Quote
