turtleman2020 Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 I hope we will be able to get purple scout drones from PAB. Yeah, thats a great piece. Quote
DraikNova Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 That's why I'm hoping to snag two off PAB for the XL version of my HF selfmoc. Quote
Gatanui Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 Discussion seems pretty dead, so I thought I should boost it a little. There are large pictures of Stormer´s, Speeda Demon´s and Core Hunter´s packaging here. -Gata Quote
MakutaDreadscythe Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 I know it's late, but thinking about it, does Bulk actually have back armour? Quote
Gatanui Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 I know it's late, but thinking about it, does Bulk actually have back armour? I don´t think so. Similar to Furno, his connection points on the back seem to be taken up by the shoulder armor and the rocket launcher. -Gata Quote
MakutaDreadscythe Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 I don´t think so. Similar to Furno, his connection points on the back seem to be taken up by the shoulder armor and the rocket launcher. -Gata Ugh, a bit disappointing. Thats another foot to add to the Pick-a-Brick list... Quote
ZORK64 Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 You know, if I wouldn't happen to be sick right now, I'd already went to town this week to check out if the new sets have finally arrived at German stores. Once I've recovered I'll go scouting, I promise! Quote

Omicron Squad Leader Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 Thanks, and may the Pepsi be with you! ... ... Ahem, Furno. *mails Pepsi MAX to you* I prefer Dr Pepper. :3 You know, if I wouldn't happen to be sick right now, I'd already went to town this week to check out if the new sets have finally arrived at German stores. Once I've recovered I'll go scouting, I promise! If I were you, I wouldn't bother. Something will pop up online when they're out somewhere, and who knows? Maybe the US will get them first this year; they have done with many other sets. Quote
Kalhiki Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 Nice pics, Gata! Interesting that the boxed sets also have the yellow bar on top (consistency!). Core Hunter's packaging also looks pretty nice. Always like the look of cities. Kalhiki Quote

Once I've recovered I'll go scouting, I promise! They didn´t arrive this early last year. But don´t worry, I´ll go to the LEGO Store Berlin tomorrow. Coincidentally, it´s 1st June, so who knows. On a sidenote, get well soon! -Gata Quote
Shakar Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 I hope we will be able to get purple scout drones from PAB. I like those pieces, but the concept of scout drones, while cool, doesn't offer much playability. I prefer to think those are part of Srormer's armour (and I think everyone thought that until the TV episode), and he fights Speeda using the blasters mounted on his bike.As for Bulk's back, I'm doing something a la Iron Man- revamping the lame weapon connection and giving him a back armour in the process. Quote
DraikNova Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 I honestly think the scout drones have a triple purpose: as actual drones, as armor and as jet-assisters for jumps. Quote
Shakar Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) If you mean set/MOCing wise, yeah they've got lots of potential. It looks like they can attached to any type of shell, and they can be attached in any part of the body. Heck, the combiner uses the lilac drone from SD's bike as chest armour. I'm sure they can be used as some type of jetpack too, they seem pretty big. If you mean story-wise, I guess they can be reused with a simple story justification. Look at 2011 Nex 3.0 paws, who have become part of Thonraxx's and Bulk's armour. Or the multiuse Fire Villain claws and engine shells. And look at all the story roles zamors went under, starting in 2006 Bionicle an then continuing through HF. Overall a very cool new piece. Summer 2012 is overloaded with cool new pieces actually.

DraikNova Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) Actually, I meant attached to the legs, they can be used as, well, jump-assisting boosters. In any case, these would be great for making neo-bohrok, as seen by people confusing the part on the first pics of SD with the bohrok headpiece. Edited May 31, 2012 by DraikNova Quote
Shakar Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 Boosters? That is pretty cool, haven't thought of it. But I fear they might be too big for that purpose- have you seen the SD-SXL combiner's chest? With the wings and all, they might be wider than the new chest armour BP, Core Hunter and a few Ultrabuild Super Heroes use. As for heads, yup. Another good idea. I hope we see more of these pieces in 2013. Quote
ZORK64 Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 Thanks, and may the Pepsi be with you! I actually got some Pepsi right now here (though it's regular Pepsi, since it's cheaper). They didn´t arrive this early last year. But don´t worry, I´ll go to the LEGO Store Berlin tomorrow. Coincidentally, it´s 1st June, so who knows. On a sidenote, get well soon! -Gata I suppose you'll let us know if you find something, right? Well, I asked a few weeks ago in my local LEGO Store (Nürnberg), and they said they'll be released around June, so I'm anticipating them anytime now. And thanks. Quote

Well, I asked a few weeks ago in my local LEGO Store (Nürnberg), and they said they'll be released around June, so I'm anticipating them anytime now. And thanks. Sure I will. However, our cellar has been flooded, so the LEGO Store will have to wait until next week. Maybe it´s better, though, as I doubt they would stock the sets on a Friday. They are far more likely to be on stock next week. -Gata Quote

Odds are good that I'll be fully recovered 'til monday (thanks to the power of PEPSI!), so I'm gonna check for myself then. (And I'll also go looking for Transformers again, but that's of course totally unrelated to this topic) Quote

(And I'll also go looking for Transformers again, but that's of course totally unrelated to this topic) It´s okay, our cellar was full of unnecessary stuff anyway. I hope I´ll be able to check on Monday, but maybe I´ll simply call the store to ask before going. I don´t want to go the day before the sets are released. -Gata Quote
Aanchir Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 Oh look. 6221 Nex Package 6222 Core Hunter Package 6223 Bulk Package 6229 XT4 Package 6230 Stormer XL Box 6231 Speeda Demon Box 6282 Stringer Package 6283 Voltix Package Such a shame that there are only two cache.lego.com images available for each set. The early 2012 sets all had more than that... then again, we saw the same thing with summer 2011. I suppose they just decided that by now the launcher's been around for a half a year and there's no longer any need to show off its function, since most of the "alt2" pics for the early 2012 sets were just to demonstrate the launcher functions.

Shakar Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) Aaargh, I can't see the pics on my phone for some reason! I'm going to save them once I get home. By the way, I got Hulk today. I haven't built him yet, but I can say the chestplate is gorgeous. EDIT: Aww, I excepted/hoped for alternative poses. That said, these pics are huuuge and pretty, I'm saving them anyway.

Bfahome Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 Looks like we're finally getting the Glatorian head mold with the 2.0 head mold's socket. Now if only they started making them in solid colors. Quote
