Dorek Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 You would have thought they would choose a less obscure line if it was just to "fill the air"? It's clear that it wasn't intended to be amusing, as "-and it was my first day on the job and everything." is not funny in any sense of the word, unlike the original line, and due to all of the other scenes panning into Mission Control only having techno-noises in the background, we can conclude that having "background chatter" wasn't collateral to the creators. Also, if you actually watch the clip, you can see that the speaker uses the exact same model as the miner in OoF, and has a very similar voice actor. Why does this even need to be debated? The truth is blatantly obvious, and it's only a trivial little titbit. *sighs* When you say "the truth is blatantly obvious", that's what creates the debate. It's not as black and white as you think it is. You're free to think what you want, but there is, in fact, room for doubt. Also lol at the Ordeal joke. I'll miss CSI: Miami... Anyhow, you mean on the actual Stringer set? Not in LDD, anyway. I feel like it would look a little weird if you do a direct replacement, there should probably be some better layering involved somewhere. Quote
vexorian Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Finally got toxic reapa and jaw blade. Jawblade is all right. But I think it is more of a parts pack. I have so many ideas for the wings in new silver and the head... Reapa is as amazing as I thought. I will wait till there is a new shipment to buy more reapas though, because it got the old feet.

Vinyl Scratch Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 I have so many ideas for the wings Since when does Jawblade have wings? But I do agree that Toxic Reapa is amazing. Currently waiting for Black Phantom to show up in online listings. Quote

Omicron Squad Leader Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 When you say "the truth is blatantly obvious", that's what creates the debate. It's not as black and white as you think it is. You're free to think what you want, but there is, in fact, room for doubt. I was referring to the debate that was created in the first place, specifically by you. I agree with Gata in both regards.

DraikNova Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 I'll probably stick with the blue. Oh, such Von-Nebula-y goodness . Quote
Vinyl Scratch Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 You know, his tail and other fish body parts are Gali Mystica wings but in new silver. Don't you mean fins? :U I think you got confused there buddy. XD Quote
Aanchir Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Don't you mean fins? :U I think you got confused there buddy. XD You can really call them whatever you like. They're a pretty versatile piece. Fins is probably more accurate given that I don't recall any sets where they seem designed to provide lift (they're usually used more like the tail fin of an airplane), but then again, we saw how well that terminology went over with Toa Mahri Hahli.

Shakar Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) This rookie Hero is the lasteast addition to Stormer's Alpha Team. The villain is pretty cool, though. But a "sworn enemy of Black Phantom"? Lol no. He's pretty pathetic compared to His Black Armoured Horned Mace Weilding French Highness. Edited June 20, 2012 by Shakar Quote

True enough, either way Hahli's things looked like wingfins of sorts. They were still an awesome piece. His Black Armoured Horned Mace Weilding French Highness. Currently laughing. THANK YOU. Quote
DraikNova Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) You should see the mini-Phantom I made. I imagine his character to be a bit snobbish too. Silly mace-and sword wielding mini-MOC. He does have back armor, though. The reason he's so small is because I've made larger versions of the first wave sets, and Thornraxx in particular required a lot of black. It was worth it, though, because Thornraxx now looks even cooler, as it uses three torso pieces, making it gigantic, and because the new Phantom looks rather cute, with his simple, 2001-2009 Bionicle style hands.

VBBN Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 I'll probably stick with the blue. Oh, such Von-Nebula-y goodness . Seconded. I've come to prefer the blue on him; Though part of me wishes either all of his armor was trans blue, or all solid blue. The mix isn't going over well for me. Quote

DraikNova Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 I will, soon. That and all the other revamps I've made, including a six-finned Jawblade and upgraded versions of the heroes. Quote
VBBN Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 My rocka 4.0 revamp(nothing major this time around.), I didnt think this needed a topic of its own since its only two pics. The shield bits are ridiculously small to pass as a shield so I improvised. They are solar panels, using solar energy to create the sphere in his weapon, so he never has to carry ammo with him.(Even though he has an ammo belt...details details) I kind of like the rocka lion head on his one arm. On two arms it looks kinda wonky. Without it, it still looks nice, I just anted to see how I felt about the usage of that part as shoulder armor. And in addition, I like elements of asymmetric in my figures I also dont have any armor on his lower arms by choice; I chose a thiCker joint and personally I like it, though I can gurantee many of you wont. And lastly, yes I know one joint on the back of his leg is gray instead of black; I just didnt feel like searching on tyrant for a place to swap a black joint of that piece to gray;p Quote
Gatanui Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Summer sets out in Germany, Austria and Switzerland NOW. Expect pictures next week. -Gata Quote
MakutaDreadscythe Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Summer sets out in Germany, Austria and Switzerland NOW. Expect pictures next week. -Gata Wonderful! Can't wait! Quote
DOTM Shockwave Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Summer sets out in Germany, Austria and Switzerland NOW. Expect pictures next week. -Gata Awesome news, can't wait! Quote
Gatanui Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) Update: Next week may become as soon as tomorrow as they are available in my local LEGO Store as well and I´m hopefully going there tomorrow. We´re getting either Stringer and Voltix or Core Hunter and Voltix. -Gata Edited June 22, 2012 by Gatanui Quote
VBBN Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 I've got that bad feeling it'll be a long time before any stores around me get the new sets; we used to be one of the first, now it seems like it take forever for stores to stock them. Thouh I do have a Lego store near me now, so perhaps that could bring some hope Quote
ZORK64 Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) The German LEGO shop lists the new HF sets as available. However, when I visited the LEGO store today, they still hadn't the new sets. However, they already put the current wave on sales, I got Rocka for 9,09€ today. I'm really hoping the new wave will be released soon. Edited June 23, 2012 by ZORK64 Quote
DraikNova Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 I hope my local store will have the sets by next week Friday. I'm planning to get them all then. Quote
Shakar Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 So it is 100% confirmed, Stormer XL is 19.99 Euro and Speeda Demon is 29,99 Euro in Europe. Sets are showing up, good. Hopefully they'll pop out on Ebay soon at the very least..and maybe on S@H too (but, seeing the 3.0 sets delay compared to Germany, I fear that won't happen). I wish we had pics with secondary poses for the sets, especially for sets like Stormer and XT4. At this point, I guess I'll wait for some good reviews to pop out. Quote
Gatanui Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) I guess I'll wait for some good reviews to pop out. Hopefully ours will be good. -Gata Edited June 22, 2012 by Gatanui Quote
