Legends of Chima 2013

[Lyichir]

That's actually the best of the Chima sets of this year, outside of the Croc Boat/Ship.

I'd disagree with that assessment. All of the summer sets are great in my opinion, but, if anything, I'd consider the Gorilla Striker to be one of the weaker ones. It has loads of functions, but doesn't conceal them all that well, with the back being a mess of knobs and triggers, and none of those functions are really original or unique. Eglor's Twin Bike, on the other hand, has a fantastic transforming function; Worriz' Combat Lair is modular to the max and has an ingenious way of launching the two small trikes on the front; and The Lion Chi Temple is just generally an amazing structure with a few clever functions and maybe one of the best water features in any set to date. The Gorilla Striker is still great, but I wouldn't consider it a standout, especially amongst the stellar wave of sets it's releasing with.

The Skinnet minifigure has been leaked for sale on eBay! In case anybody can't wait (Like myself)

Just be patient another month or so. It's not worth the eBay prices if we are nearly a month away from the release. Especially when paying full price for a Speedorz set just for a minifigure that will be released eventually.

I kinda like Swamp Hideout, but detest the figs. If I see it on sale I might pick it up and sell off the figs.

BeKindSoRewind uploaded some pictures of Skinnette ( )! That tail is a bit off, but it still looks great!

Skinnet's minifig head also has very subtle freckles.

And I apologize for some of the blurry dupes. Thankfully they're just dupes and there are better versions. :-)

[PenPlays]

I never realized that Skinnet didn't have any CHI plugged. Really excited for this minifig!

[Lordofdragonss]

The minifig face looks adorable, the nuzzle-mask and tail look horrible though.

[DraikNova]

Really? I think the mask looks better than the actual face. I have to agree with you about the tail though.

[Meiko]

I find Skinnete's minifig head quite.... odd.

Does Skinnet look drunk to you guys?

I really like that duffel bag.

[Meiko]

Sort of, but I'd place bets he's high on "chi" or something. And cool images CM4S!

[DraikNova]

The merchandise is rather cheesy, but you can see that LEGO is going all out for Chima.

[bekindsorewind]

Is Laval the first clock to have a cape? Or did Vader already beat him on that?

[CM4Sci]

Here's something interesting. This person got PRELIM BOX versions of Skunk Attack and Whirling Vines. I don't know how, I'm trying to contact the uploader, but this is cool.

Just a hypothesis, but seeing as this also happened with the Chi Battles set, I'm guessing LEGO really wants to get Chima out there, so they made sample sets to some select retailers. We all know how much LEGO wants to make Chima a hit.

They were probably on eBay. Someone should go look for a selling history on them.

[krystalKING]

nothing with Eris on it? guess I wont be getting those.

The merchandise is CHI-sy indeed.

Although if someone were to just snag one of those clocks for just because, I'll gladly accept them.

The flashlights, however, stare deeply into my soul (especially Worriz). *shudder*

EDIT: How the hell did that review person afford all of that Lego (not to mention the Skylanders, which are a complete waste of money)! His Lego "statistics" nearly match mine, for what appears to be five years of collecting, compared to my fourteen years! CRAZY!!

I didn't really at the flashlights, but far out, they're creepy.

At least the eyes don't glow.

[Peppermint_M]

Hmm, merch... Let's see how that goes.

[Good Cragger Fan]

In regarding http://www.youtube.c...?v=udileMdL1LY, does anyone have an English version that they can link here for us, as I cannot understand Russian at all? If no English version exists anywhere on the internet, can someone please, who knows both English and Russian quite well, kindly translate the first minute, at the very least, of dialogue? (I would like to know what that Russian man is talking about in terms of the relationship (not just the family relationship) that is between Cragger, Crominus, and Crooler (who is wearing a purple cape in this video.) I thank you in advance.

Can't remember if I shared this already, but I picked up both Eris's Eagle Interceptor and Nest Dive last week. Both fun sets, except Nest Dive is a bit of a pain. I've posted reviews for both on my YT channel.

I'm also supposed to receive Razar's Chi Raider on Monday, and I can't wait for that!

EDIT: 100 pages!

Wow, that's one interesting video! Lots of prelim figures, though. Or are they? Check at about 1:42. What's that game? Looks a lot like lego universe.
