Legends of Chima 2013

[Jackattack7]

Just looking at the Ninjago prices $ to £, and there is quite a difference. The Samurai mech is $39.99 and £29.99 + it has 452 pieces, so that's similar to Laval's Royal Fighter. And the Ultra Sonic raider is $79.99 and $59.99 + it has 622 pieces, so that is similar to Cragger's Command Ship. Hopefully this trend will continue, if so the prices would be:

70000: £9.99, 70001: £12.99, 70002: £19.99, 70003: £27.99, 70004: £24.99, 70005: £29.99, 70006: £59.99, 70011: £29.99, 70012: £29.99, 70013: £29.99.

These prices are probably a bit off, but hopefully they keep the trend like that.

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

According to Meiko's picture from the show, Crominus also has a white bushy Goatee. I actually think that makes him look more aged, and much more Kingly.

So since the ramps don't work that well...

I really can't speak for it myself, but I'm sure we will find a way to make the Speedorz fly off the ramps. Maybe it just takes practice. Also the problem with the ramps might be addressed in future waves.

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

*snip*

Laval's Father, although not particularly evident, there are 5 members of each Tribe (Minimum) Ewald, and Crominus are the only ones with minifigures right now. Lego makes it more confusing by calling Laval, Eris, Cragger and Worriz "leaders" on their mini-videos that were on the official LoC website. They all may show signs of royalty (capes and/or crowns) but they aren't their tribe's leader. More like the leaders on the warfronts.

[Meiko]

Rawzom is also available as a minifigure, and he's the apparent leader of the Raven Clan.

[Jackattack7]

Crominus is the crocodile king, not sure who ewald is but in the Eagle's castle set description on lego.com say he is Ewald the leader. Laval, Rawzom, Eris, Worriz and Cragger are the commanders, more like war leaders.

I thought Rawzom was the actual king of the Ravens? Or is he a commander like you said?

[Garmadon]

5?

So far, only Lions, Crocs and Eagles have 5, and that's including Laval's dad.

That still leaves crocs and ravens.

And it's my opinion that wolves will not have a king and certainly not a queen (Worriz being only the commander, or whatever it is called).

And I would call Rawzomthe king and commander of the Ravens, sort of like what Worriz is to the wolves.

Actually I think he is the raven king, looking at the pics of him again he has a gold helmet and weapon. But really there has been no information or advertisement of the ravens.

Yeah, I wonder why they're sort of ignoring those guys. I mean, they're in a lot of the main sets..

Yeah I know, if you look at the Eris' Eagle Interceptor commercial it's only Eris and the Eagle Interceptor chasing the wolves who are driving the wakz pack tracker. And yet Razar and Rizzo are included in the set and yet no sign of them anywhere.

[Shakar]

I think that gold head decoration=king/queen (Ewald is still unclear..), simply enough. So they are: Laval's father, Ewald, Crominus and Rawzom. No Wolfs we saw so far wear gold headgear, so I think we'll see the Wolf king/queen in Summer, most likely in Worriz's Combat Lair.

As for the military leaders/princes/princesses (if Eris is Ewald's daughter, and I wouldn't be surprised), I think they are the ones who:

-get the most promotional coverage;

-whose names are mentioned in the larger sets ("Cragger's Command Ship", "Laval's Royal Fighter", Razar's Chi Raider, etc..)

-are getting constraction sets.

Laval, Eris, Gorzan, Cragger, Worriz, Razar. It can't be a coincidence, these 6 have a lot in common.

[Meiko]

Rawzom is the king/leader of the Ravens. Razar is the second in command for the Ravens. This template on the Chima Wiki has the known characters in order of their ranks (highest to lowest) according to the instruction booklets in the first wave Chima sets.

[PenPlays]

Oh yes, I forgot about Rawzom. To back you up Meiko (and I can't seem to upload the image), on Brickset there was an image of the back of the instruction booklets that display all the minifigures. Laval, Eris, Cragger, Razar, and Worriz have a colored aura about them, even though Ewald,Crominus,and Rawzom are present, and placed before the aura-figs too signifying there place in the war system.

A little off topic, but I just finished my LoC Checklist in my Signature, and I must it looks pretty good.

Heheh, I can just imagine the wolf leader, golden crown and grey, matted fur.

Super Seamus on YouTube released a decent review of the Ultimate Tournament set.

His lighting is better than mine.

[Cutcobra]

All minifigures from this theme looks awesome .

[just2good]

'BrickBoxTV' released a great review of the Royal Fighter set!

[Jackattack7]

Speaking of this set I saw it in my local Toymaster for £41.99, I considered picking it up but hopefully it will be around £34.99 in the Lego store.

EDIT: This is for those who cannot stand the brickshow.

Another one:

Lego's commercials have done their job...after I buy all of this years Ninjago, Chima will be mine!

[Perry the Platypus]

Are they available in the US yet? And if so, have they been seen in Massachusetts?

No not that I know of.

That is freaking cool. I really can't deny how interesting and unique this theme is turning out to be.

[PenPlays]

Also, judging by the pic of "King Lion" and Crominus, the Chi spheres are not an important role in their society at first.

I have to say that I'm dying to get one of these sets! I CRAVE BLUE BOXES!!

EDIT: I have to say Jackattack7, were you inspired by my checklist to make your own? They have noticeable similarities, but yours still has a style of its own.

According to the 'legend' all the tribes were united and shared the power of the Chi in times gone by, but then the crocs got greedy and wanted more power which escalated into a split between the differing tribes and eventually war. Which is why they're constantly trying to win the Chi crystals from each other. I'm assuming that originally the kings and queens lead the tribes into battle but have now passed that duty to their offspring. The lion king and Crominus must be getting on a bit and near retirement age.

Yes I was actually, It was a combonation of how amazing yours looked and how much I love the Chima sets. Not the speedorz though, my cousin has the nest one with Eglor. Although I must say Eglor is impressive.
