Perry the Platypus Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 I have a theory that I highly doubt: what if the exciting news is a Snake Train set coming out, from the episode Rise of the Great Devourer? Quote
Kalhiki Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Watch the news be nothing spectacular and we're all fussing over nothing. Hope that's not the case. Kalhiki Quote
Zachattacx Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) I have a theory that I highly doubt: what if the exciting news is a Snake Train set coming out, from the episode Rise of the Great Devourer? That would be something else,I've been wanting that thing since I first saw it, but it would seem hard to put all of the features on it, like you probably couldn't take out those spheres with guns from the sides of the fortress, nor could you launch out Bite Cycles from the sides.As much as I would want to buy/get it, it seems impossible to do those features , unless you buy Lasha's Bite Cycle as many times as you want .Sorry for the negative attitude, I get like this usually when there isn't screen accuracy(Something about me and accuracy ). Watch the news be nothing spectacular and we're all fussing over nothing. Hope that's not the case. Kalhiki I swear if that happens I will......wait Kalhiki you may have jinxed it .

Muddy Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 What sites should I check (other than this one) once the news is actually posted - it is bugging me too SDCC has been lack luster - obviously SW is waiting for celebration - but could have put a display of summer 2012 sets up to just show ppl the Super Hero line was Blah - I mean Nova & Bettle common - half hearted attempt at being half done Quote
Aanchir Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Well, according to the LEGO Group's twitter, the main Ninjago news was this new sneak-peek video of the upcoming season of the show. Whether there was anything revealed regarding sets remains to be seen. But I suppose even with Ninjago having such a strong presence this year, we might not be able to expect any huge news like we got for the licensed themes. EDIT: Though in other news, The Fold has revealed a which is now available from iTunes. An image on NinjaSongs.com leads me to believe there will probably be five songs total from them, with album art in red, blue, white, black, and green. Edited July 16, 2012 by Aanchir Quote
Muddy Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 No pictures? No panel information? Seriously? SDCC was an epic fail for quite a few things others not so much but lego seriously disappointed me - one really cool thing that has been a decade in the making - they so need to make up for it at Celebration Quote
Tobias_Jay Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Thats it? Oh well at least the trailer was in good quality. I cracked up at the little ninjas at the end! Quote
DraikNova Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Wait a minute, there's a red T-rex / Allosaurus like dinosaur at the end of the video! That could be one of the new sets! Ninja vs Dino. EPIC! Edited July 16, 2012 by DraikNova Quote
Kai NRG Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Well, excited to hear the news from the pannel. BTW, I fully believe that Lloyd's true potential will be unlocked after his father turns good again. I was kind of thinking he would unlock his true potential first. . . I have a feeling that Garmadon will turn good. Like, there's an evil side to him that needs to be destroyed by Lloyd, and then Garmadon will become his older, normal self. Kalhiki Yeah. That would make sense. Especially since Garmadon has some good points. . . although it has allways seemed weird to me that he can love his son so much and still hate his brother! Quote
Tobias_Jay Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Yeah. That would make sense. Especially since Garmadon has some good points. . . although it has allways seemed weird to me that he can love his son so much and still hate his brother! Well you know his brother did banish him to a dark dimension you know. Sibling rivalry to the extreme, is all i'm saying. Quote
lightningtiger Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 And what about the pirates eh ? They have the whole series in the can ready for showing......and all they give us is a simple video clip for this new season. It appears SDCC has fizzed out after the Bag End and Super Heroes show offs plus I guess the rancor set for Star Wars, but even less for Ninjago ? Crikey, even Glee was at SDCC ?! Quote
DraikNova Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Well you know his brother did banish him to a dark dimension you know. Sibling rivalry to the extreme, is all i'm saying. Off-topic: Tell that to Makuta Teridax. Or for that matter to Vultraz. Or Matau. Wow, LEGO is just stuffed with sibling rivalries. To many to count anyway. On-topic: Hoping we'll get a Ninjago T-rex set. Or maybe the new "Death's Bounty" as I've been calling it. Quote
Kalhiki Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 The trailer was actually pretty exciting. And offered a lot of new things that could potentially become sets. I for one, am excited about the new season (this Wednesday!) and am hoping new sets will accompany it. Kalhiki Quote

To many to count WOW I've got no idea what you're talking about (I wasn't really a bionicle follower sorry(it is Bionicle right? )). Does anyone wonder if in 2013 we'll see those armored ninjas that got leaked from LU earlier in the year, or was it last year?, anyway I wonder if they'll be the new costumes for next year?

DraikNova Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 1: Yes. 2: No, those suits were Lego Universe prototypes for the ZX suits. Quote
Aanchir Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Well, it looks like we finally have an image of the exclusive minifigure in the Ninjago Character Encyclopedia. Apparently it's a special-edition Lloyd Garmadon figure. And what a figure it is! Notable differences from Lloyd ZX include his black or earth green (hard to tell which color it is) torso and legs, his gold shoulderpads, and the gold print on his headgear. Some things including the page where that image appears still describe the exclusive figure as "fully-armed" so it's possible he might come with equipment not pictured here, or that information might be preliminary. Either way I look forward to seeing whether this costume appears in other media or whether it's just a special minifigure design without any particular connection to the Ninjago story. The LEGO Ninjago Character Encyclopedia is due for release October 27, and will include pages regarding the Ninjago TV series in addition to the main character features. Really looking forward to it!

DraikNova Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 He looks EPIC! WANT. RIGHT. NOW. Is it exclusive to the US? Quote
Kai NRG Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Thatnks for the picture of Lloyd. he look a lot different, but I'd really like that gold hat for him! Anyway, I've now seen some more of the upcoming ninjago cards #18 Bytar by gid617, on Flickr This one comes with Lizaru: #44 Poison Whips by gid617, on Flickr I'm not sure if this is included with Bytar of NRG Zane. Form the SP, it could be either. #79? Crown of Earth by gid617, on Flickr And this one comes with Slithraa. #99 Spirit Guard by gid617, on Flickr That'a all I know so far Quote
Aanchir Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 He looks EPIC! WANT. RIGHT. NOW. Is it exclusive to the US? Nope. This one's being published by Dorling Kindersley, which publishes in several countries. Not totally sure which countries or languages it will be available in, but it will definitely be available in at least the United States, Great Britain, Canada, and Australia (the image I found is from an Australian site).

PenPlays Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 I saw Kimono Lloyd on Brickipedia earlier today. I am seriously considering pre-ordering the encyclopedia to secure myself a copy of that epic mini-fig. Quote
DraikNova Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Well, the card art looks awesome. Any idea if that encyclopedia is available in the Netherlands? Quote
TheLegoDr Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 I don't follow Ninjago other than a few random sets I have purchased on clearance. But that Lloyd minifigure looks awesome. I would definitely look to pick him up, but I doubt I would want/need the whole book. Quote
DraikNova Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Well, I've decided that I might actually buy the new song for iTunes. IT. IS. AWESOME. Quote
Tobias_Jay Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 And this one comes with Slithraa. #99 Spirit Guard by gid617, on Flickr That'a all I know so far Now THAT is some good looking artwork, I don't recall ever seeing a card with four armed Garmy. That Lloyd fig is a must have for me, being the Ninjago completest that I am. But it is funny how he has gold armour . Is October 27 the global release date or is Australia going to be pushed back as usual Quote
