PenPlays Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 So don't delay, act now, supplies are running out! Eglor's Twin Bike on Toys"R"Us ships to home... and this ain't Kmart! Says that it's only sold in stores at the moment. However, if the image isn't available on the website, it is not actually available yet (this is personal experience talkin'). At least it looks like it won't be jacked up with a TRU price. Don't scare me like that!! Quote

Don't scare me like that!! It was available for a second! Now it's only in stores, with the Gorilla Striker. I personally think the image theory only works with Kmart (I hate that store). Quote

Bigger Fish Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Apparently, Gorzan is voiced by the same guy for plays Fred. Quote
CM4Sci Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Apparently, Gorzan is voiced by the same guy for plays Fred. Once again, Wikipedia is telling lies. He is voiced by Michael Patric. Oh, and this belongs in the TV series thread. Does anyone have any summer sets? Show some pics, the thread needs to be more active. -Sci Quote

PenPlays Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 I'm going to say it again. Be patient people! The Toys R Us prices are never worth it! Quote
just2good Posted June 26, 2013 Author Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) I'm going to say it again. Be patient people! The Toys R Us prices are never worth it! It is if you're like me and got a whole bunch of gift cards for TRU on your birthday/Christmas. Edited June 26, 2013 by just2good Quote
Pieaka23 Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 I just play Laval's Journey on Playstation Vita. There is so much new character and profiles such as Bear Tribe, Rhino Tribe and Nomads. I have attached secreenshots from my PS Vita below. Nomads Animal: Skineet, Furtivo (Also known as Furty) and Dom de la Woosh http://www.flickr.com/photos/98147452@N02/9158084357/ Dom de la Woosh: Peacock or Raven? http://www.flickr.com/photos/98147452@N02/9158087399/in/photostream/ Nomads Profile: Dom de la Woosh: Is a superstar Speedor racer. His speed is matched only by his charming charisma which makes everyone his biggest fan. Skinnet: Nothing ever seems to go right for Skinnet. His tribe has vanished, his mightiest weapon is a foul stench, and everything he does seems to backfire. However, everyone likes Skinnet, they just can't stand to be around him and his odor for too long. Furtivo: Furtivo is aFox is most commonly known as Furty. He is distantly related to the Wolves, but couldn't be much more different. Being the ultimate loner, Furtivo rarely does anything that doesn't benefit himself. An orphan all of his life, he has learned to centre the world around himself. Bear Tribe: Bladvic, Balkar, Bungey, (Locked), Bumpy, (Locked) http://www.flickr.com/photos/98147452@N02/9160312144/in/photostream/ Rhino Tribe: Rogon,Rukus, (Locked), Rhino Brawler, Rhino Fighter, Rhino Veteran, Rhino Warrior, (Locked) http://www.flickr.com/photos/98147452@N02/9158087141/in/photostream/ The most interesting part is that each tribe shows their Ultrabuild CHI such as the Rhino, Bear, Skunk, Fox etc. The CHI colour for Rhino is Red just like the Croc, Wolves and Raven. The others are Blue Colour CHI. Quote
Pieaka23 Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) I am not sure, when he place his CHI orb, the ultra build is BLUE and a RAVEN Ultrabuild look-a-like Edited June 28, 2013 by Pieaka23 Quote
Speedza-Demon Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Nice finds! I hope the Peacock character gets made into an actual figure, that would be very cool, and his long-neck reminds me of Pythor. I had a feeling that Skinnet and Furty didn't belong to any tribes, somehow. Quote
PenPlays Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 I'm surprised that his name isn't Pom de la Woosh, being that his animal name (Peacock) begins with a "P". I would love to have a minifig of him (her?) sometime in the future. I'd suspect a standalone Speedorz set, much like Furty and Skinnet. Quote
CM4Sci Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Wow, that peacock! It just dawned on me Skinnet and Furty have the same headpiece Hope to see them in sets. The 4D Experience and a mini-movie had 2 new bears as well. -Sci Quote
krystalKING Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 A peacock! What has the world come to! Just kidding, Interesting, but not my thing. Quote
DraikNova Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Okay, that is now officially the world's strangest-looking minifig. Quote
just2good Posted June 29, 2013 Author Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) I would love to have a minifig of him (her?) sometime in the future. Yes, I can finally put my peacock knowledge to use! Fun fact: I used to love peacocks! Peacocks with that tail and blue coloring are only males. Knowing marketing, TLG will probably go against that fact of nature and make it a female (see: Back at the Barnyard). Edited June 29, 2013 by just2good Quote
Zachattacx Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 My god..when will this dang chaos end!? Still strangest minifig I've ever seen. Though looks like it has new parts to my collection not sure though. Quote
Aanchir Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Yes, I can finally put my peacock knowledge to use! Fun fact: I used to love peacocks! Peacocks with that tail and blue coloring are only males. Knowing marketing, TLG will probably go against that fact of nature and make it a female (see: Back at the Barnyard). The bio seems to use male pronouns (then again, sometimes the people writing these bios don't do the research) and the figure's torso has none of the hallmarks of female minifigures like a curvy waist. Also, the name Dom sounds male to me. I'm thinking he's a guy, albeit a really flamboyant guy. I don't know what the likelihood is of him being a real fig. If he is, then it would seem that he uses a Raven headpiece on top of a new minifigure head with an extended neck, or on top of a new minifigure head on top of a separate neck piece (neither is entirely unlikely, considering they could be reused for Kaminoans in LEGO Star Wars, but still somewhat surprising). I doubt it's a one-piece specialized head because the head is simply too big to be one solid injection-molded piece, and a pre-assembled minifigure head piece that almost perfectly resembles an existing headgear element just seems wasteful. One thing makes me doubt this will be a real fig at all, though, and that is the impossibility of the feathered crest and tail. Both look far too thin to be actual pieces. So chances are that he is just a character who will feature in the show, and the use of a raven headgear element is simply a shortcut taken by the character designers (or, if you prefer, a stylistic decision to ensure he is visually compatible with the other animal characters). It wouldn't be entirely unlikely considering the number of characters in Ninjago who were presumably never intended to appear in sets, or the already established existence of characters like Plovar who could not, under any circumstances, appear in LEGO. (Just too small!) Quote
Pieaka23 Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 In the video games, Dom de la Woosh has a male tone. Same as Furtivo. Quote
PenPlays Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Just got my July/August Club Magazine today. It seems as if the editors are loosing their touch. For one, in the Chima mini-book inside the front page, in the character section, Skinnet is misspelled "Skinnit" as well as the Eagle and Wolf symbols swapped in their windows. They also talked about Hero Factory's "Dragon Bolt" having a brain that inlarges his head, even though the "Brain Bug" is removed from the model. In other news, I can confirm that the show will release on July 10th, with more episodes every Wednesday. Quote
Tobias_Jay Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 That peacock certainly looks interesting (he also has a really cool name). So do those Bears and Rhinos, especially that grey Bear. I was contemplating this game, now it looks really good from those screenshots. Quote

Skinnet's name is spelled that way in the books as well, so it's possible that this spelling was a preliminary name that didn't end up getting used on the product. Or maybe it's just a typo that Greg Farshtey (who both writes the books and is the editor-in-chief of the magazine) made. Or perhaps the name on the box art is the one that's misspelled. Hard to say.
