Legends of Chima 2013

[Aanchir]

A typical $10 Lego set is between 90 to 110 pieces.

Now putting into account that between 20 to 30 piece sets are about $5 if not a tad more, one can assume that, in the Ninjago's spinners' case, the spinner and cards are the other $5.

Being that the Speedorz are about the same size as the spinners (Wheel unit, ripcord, outer shell) and that each set includes 5 cards...

$5 game tools + 23 pieces = $10 Ninjago spinner.

$5 game tools + 94 pieces = $15 LoC Speedor

Yes the price is big, but at least it's consistent, unlike Lennox's buggy, etc, etc.

I don't see what's wrong with the price of Lennox's Lion Attack. It's 230 pieces for $25. Given the largish wheels and tires I'd say that seems more or less fair. I've never been a real believer in the magic 10¢ per piece ratio, especially since price-per-piece is a poor measure of value in many cases to begin with. But this is still less than 11 cents per piece/more than 9 pieces per dollar.

Oops forgot to say, my Aunty picked up Razcal's glider today and it should arrive after christmas as she is sending it tomorrow. Also I have to pick up a new camera because I want to review it.

[Peppermint_M]

Gosh darn it, none local here yet! Been eyeing up reduced in price Monster Fighters and Ninja Go.

Counting out my change tubs soon (Under 10p? into the box with ye!) and will treat myself to something with that.

In my eyes Chima has one problem, the same as Ninjago, the vehicle heavy sets.

I agree, they need to do bases. Maybe that's why in the summer they are bringing out Croc Swap Hideout, Lion Chi Temple and Worriz' Combat Lair. But still the vehicles look amazing.

They have the chima sets at most entertainer toy stores in the UK, also a bit off topic they have series 9 figures at most entertainer toy stores aswell.

Cool, I might go to my local one tomorrow then.

Wait, Worriz Combat Lair? I didn't hear anything about that. A wolf cave for our favorite doggy, huh .

Anyway, seeing as Ninjago's out here but not Chima, I wonder if they are planning to wait a while before releasing in some places, to clear Ninjago off the shelves.

If the entertainer doesn't have them, toys r us might have them, see this article

Brickshow made a review of the Croc Command Ship!

[_shaddow_]

Ha ha, I wanted to post my live construction videos here, but it seems somebody already beat me to it. Lennox' vehicle is very well thought out, and I had so much fun building it. But you know what ? Eris's eagle interceptor is even better. The construction will be uploaded tomorrow during the day. A bit off topic, but I'll be able to get Kai's Fire Mech tomorrow and I'll upload the video most likely Sunday or Monday.

[Jargo]

I can't watch these video reviews anymore. they drive me nuts. so much waffle. give me a photo based review any day. clearer detail and I don't have to listen to some egotist blathering on.

[Meiko]

I would love to watch the Croc Boat review, but I just can't stand The Brick Show. I'll be checking some local stores soon for Chima though!

[PenPlays]

Please report your findings Meiko (if any for LoC and Ninjago)!

Have I ever mentioned that I love the "civil war" idea in this series. It makes it look really, really good!

[KurttKrueger]

Managed to pick up a couple of Chima sets over the last two days. Really loving the models and the minifigs.

Also trying to get my head around the Speedorz game. Doesn't quite seem as straightforward as Ninjago, although on paper looks more fun to play.

The Speedorz themselves work really well, and are really fast. Unfortunately, the Lego ramps aren't very good, and don't work to well.

[Kai NRG]

Crominus has bushy white eyebrows? Oh well. He looked worse than I had thought he was.

...The Speedorz themselves work really well, and are really fast. Unfortunately, the Lego ramps aren't very good, and don't work to well.

Are you playing with a studded ramp? Yeah, I can see how that wouldn't work well, but maybe if you changed to this piece? Of course that doesn't go quite as high... and I don't have any Speedorz so I'm just spouting things off... but I believe that piece is included in a few of the Speedorz sets.

So since the ramps don't work that well, I guess the challenges like the "Jungle Gates" would be easier?

Ugh, I´m getting really sick of these videos. They always sell the actual set short and you are forced to listen to the maker´s annoying voice for explanation.

[Prominence]

Yeah, most "famous" reviewers don't even bother to read about the stories and they can't even put the mask on straight, but in the end they still give high ratings to the set.

Also, it seems like some of those crocs suffer from the same problem as some of the orcs. You can see their teeth even with the croc mask on.

[Shakar]

Crominus has bushy white eyebrows? Oh well. He looked worse than I had thought he was.

Hey, I like them! They make look him look old and stuff. A reptile with bushy eybrows doesn't make much sense, but he's an evil old Crocodile king afterall.

Cragger's head is my favourite, though. The scarred, damaged left part of the head makes him look very evil and cool.

Crooler..ew! You're not an adorable Croc girl, that mouth of yours is rather creepy. I'll keep Eris, thank you very much.

Rawzom looks better IRL than I thought. He looks very evil and demented.

Eris's Interceptor looks great. I might pick it up afterall.

[Kai NRG]

...Rawzom looks better IRL than I thought. He looks very evil and demented. ...

That one side of his face certainly does look demented. I like the other side way better. He looks great with his mask on. Sure hope he appears in a cheaper set later!

[Meiko]

Does anybody know who this Lion is? It'd be awesome if he appeared in a set.

He's Laval's father (the king lion) he should appear in the lion chi temple.

Also another speedorz review, they look really popular already.

ALSO LOOK AT THE NAMES OF SOME OF THE CARDS, COULD THEY BE OTHER CROCODILES IN FUTURE WAVES.

...ALSO LOOK AT THE NAMES OF SOME OF THE CARDS, COULD THEY BE OTHER CROCODILES IN FUTURE WAVES.

No, they're just different view of Crominus. One of the cards says "...mpor Viz", one didn't say anything, the first one said Crominus... and if you look closely they look like it's all him.
