Legends of Chima 2013

[Shakar]

Excellent work! If you don't mind, I used the same method to get the HF pics, which I posted in the topic.

I must say the Eagle vehicles look cooler every time I see better pictures of them. I'm tempted to get Eris's Eagle Interceptor...

The Eagle Queen looks awesome.

Did anyone but me notice the GOLD CHI CRYSTAL in the Eagle's Castle set?

I hadn't even noticed that the castle was there... pretty cool pieces! The three you listed would be Wakz (however you spell that) Eglor, and Lennox (speedorz)? The Raven Glider looks better every time I look at it, and so does the Chi Raider... though I had been planning on skipping that and getting the Eagle Interceptor, might have to go the other way around! Can't wait to find out what the cards do/are and the card art (though the "character card" art looks awesome for almost everyone), that might decide whether or not I get Crominus.

Not sure how I feel about the green on the Chi Raider, but overall, the set looks fantastic. Almost looks like it was hacked together with scavenged scrap metal. The Raven Glider is also lovely. Nice and sleek.

Yeah, Ravens are my favorite.

The Pack tracker is also cool. Love the snarling upper "lip" on the wolf head.

I'm annoyed that they've put the same two characters, Razar and Rizzo, in the Eagle Interceptor and the Chi Raider.

That was the first thing I saw when we got pictures of it.

Anyway, I love the Raven Glider. Pretty creative to use that piece for the beak. Crawley´s vehicle is pretty great too, just like the small lion one. And I love those new swords. Pretty definitely the best weapon ever.

The Pack Tracker...well, all the disappointment from the last time is now firmly reversed. The wolves heads look right now, and the Tracker itself is great. Very interesting use of parts to give it `fur`. That, to a slightly lesser extent, also counts for the Royal fighter. It´s great that it has one of those Ultrabuild ring pieces in trans light blue.

There´s nothing more to be said regarding the Croc boat, as every part of it has been praised at least once. The snout looks even better than it did before, though.

The Eagle Castle is just great; this is one of those occasions where adding a lot of gold works. Oh, and there appears to be a technic function built into the tower.

The Humongous Raven Deadly Crow-Thing is worryingly awesome. And the Ultra Striker is a masterpiece of compact, interesting design. It´s also pretty funny how the eagles are using ravens as targets. Boulder Bowling is nice, but I probably won´t be getting it.

Yeah, it's a bit annoying that they're the same two characters, but it does seem like the raven army will be composed mainly of those two. But I sure would love for the Chi Raider to include Razome instead of Rizzo.

Do I spy a new piece holding the raven perches to the white poles? I saw the same piece on the Wolf Tracker...

Yes. It's also in the Rancor Pit in the SW theme, and there are several yellow ones in Eris' Eagle Interceptor (for the left and right talon on each foot).

Looks like it might come in handy sometimes. Better pick up a few, or it will be the piece I'm needing all next year!

[Prominence]

I love that red colored axe piece in the boat. Is it a new color for axe pieces?

[Jackattack7]

I hope that they include Crug in the swamp hideout because I might pass on 70001 and 70002.

[CM4Sci]

Looking at the images again while drooling, I noticed the bad guys have one 'emblem' together, which is like a top pair of sharp teeth

The good guys then have some sort of hexagonal star thing, too..

[Jackattack7]

So 70007, 70008, 70009, 70010 and 70014 come out after the other normal sets? Maybe summer 2013 or winter 2013. I hope not.

[DraikNova]

Trans red is new, yes.

And I think that's a new bowl piece in the the speedorz tournament set.

I'd assume they might do a similar thing like the Fire Temple or Ultra Sonic Raider, where they included all the ninja, and include all of the Crocodile Tribe members.

[DraikNova]

I'm guessing all Crocodiles and perhaps a Lion or a Gorilla.

[Aanchir]

Trans red is new, yes.

And I think that's a new bowl piece in the the speedorz tournament set.

Nah, the "bowl piece" (if we're talking about the same piece) is just this element, which is over a decade old in that very color.

[Kai NRG]

I'd assume they might do a similar thing like the Fire Temple or Ultra Sonic Raider, where they included all the ninja, and include all of the Crocodile Tribe members.

I don't think the Fire Temple included all four ninja...

And the Ultra Sonic Raider didn't include Lloyd, but I suppose he really shouldn't count.

Anyways, I actually kind of doubt LEGO will do that with Chima. Some people will pass on collecting all the crocs because they're so spread out, but I think enough people will get them all to make it worthwhile. (The same logic would naturally apply to the other tribes as well!)

[DraikNova]

Slightly different, I think. I thought it was that piece too, at first. The pattern is different than the meteor.

[Jargo]

For some reason I felt compelled to free the Eagle leader from the castle. So I reconstructed the missing part of his/her blue slope and hopefully pulled out a little more definition in the wings. Thought I'd post it for anyone like me who likes to have pics of the figures without background.

[Jackattack7]

I hope the prices will be like this:

70000: Razcal's Glider, £9.99 - £11.99

70001: Crawley's Claw Ripper, £14.99 - £19.99

70002: Lennox's Lion Attack, £19.99 - £24.99 (Don't care to honest, probably won't pick this one up.)

70003: Eris Eagle Interceptor, £34.99 - £39.99

70004: Wakz Pack Tracker, £29.99 - £34.99

70005: Laval's Royal Striker, £39.99 - £44.99

70006: Cragger's Command Ship, £59.99 - £64.99 (Please Lego, not more than this.)

70011: Eagle's Castle, £39.99 - £44.99

70012: Razar's Chi Raider, £39.99 - £44.99

70013: Equila's Ultra Striker, £34.99 - £39.99

My favourite are 70000, 70003, 70006, 70012 and 70013.

[Meiko]

Not sure if anybody else has shared this, but here would be all of the "Meet character" videos so far (Laval, Cragger, Worriz, Eris) in 1080p.

[DraikNova]

I think it's been confirmed the Command Ship (Croc Boat) was $80?

[Prominence]

Trans red is new, yes.

And I think that's a new bowl piece in the the speedorz tournament set.

Wow, the Target Practice set has two trans light blue axe pieces. Too bad I don't care that much for the eagles. The crocs on the other hand... I fear Crawley's Claw Ripper has stickers and I hate stickers more than the crocs hate the lions.
