Mandate Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Sorry for double-post, but I believe this deserves its own post: I know, late, but no one posted these yet. I know that Lloyd deserves the new outfit given the obvious nature of what will come in the plot (as if it wasn't obvious enough already) but I'm still unsure of why Zane, and none of the other ninja, is getting a new outfit (Nya doesn't count). Wishful thinking has me hoping Zane becomes human by the end of this Edited February 18, 2014 by JayWalker Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Now that would be an interesting plot twist, but being a Nindroid...how would that work? Quote
Aanchir Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Sorry for double-post, but I believe this deserves its own post: I know, late, but no one posted these yet.

Wishful thinking has me hoping Zane becomes human by the end of this While there's some merit to that type of storytelling, I don't think it would do credit to his character. The lesson from Tick Tock (well, one of them) was that he was equal to the others regardless of his true nature and his origins. I feel like turning him human would undermine part of that message, at least if it were presented as a positive change. If it were presented as some kind of sacrifice I suppose it could be all right, but it'd have to be handled delicately and I honestly don't feel like that's a direction the story needs to take him.

Faefrost Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Now that would be an interesting plot twist, but being a Nindroid...how would that work? I'm thinking a Blue Faerie would be involved... Quote
Mandate Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 No, I doubt a fairy would be involved :P But if you take a look at this year's plot, the grand concept behind it being transference from the digital world to the real world (a common plot-line now, actually) I do agree completely with Aanchir though Quote
DraikNova Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Really, while all of this belongs in the show/story topic, the only dramatic scene for Zane that I can imagine LEGO doing would be him going into the main computer database to activate the self-destruct. Cue the heroic sacrifice. Quote

Shakar Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Too bad we haven't got a clear shot of the Overlord's face yet. BZP probably got the closest one. From what I can see, it kinda reminds me of Killer Croc's face (with different colours and a much more demonic appearance), which I guess it's fitting given that his true form is a dragon. Quote
PenPlays Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 And we'll be getting a new zane! Pic is really big. Sorry. Quote
Colossus Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) No, that's stupid. We know already that Cyrus is not posessed. His chair is, and the machinery on him does put him under the Overlord's control, but this is not the case as the Overlord is "done with pathetic mortal bodies" and can exist outside of possessing technology and/or organic material as long as he gets enough of Lloyd's power. "Stupid" sounds kinda harsh. It seems The Overlord is capable of transferring his essence into whomever or whatever he pleases, whichever gives him more of an advantage. So, perhaps he uses Cyrus as a vessel since Cyrus' new cyborg attributes have more potential than a mortal body. Thanks for posting the pic, Penkid. Zane is my favourite, and seeing that he receives yet another uniform is good news! JayWalker, thanks for the link to the Brick Show video. I like the set's detail and minifigs, so this may be the first Ninjago environment set I'll buy. Edited February 20, 2014 by Colossus Quote
Thelegomaster Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 This is a little off topic but: Season 3 is on iTunes you can buy the first two episodes, or the entire series and have the new episodes automatically download for $14.99 USD. The Fold released their new Ninjago song "After the Blackout yesterday and that I'm pretty sure is $0.99 USD Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I wonder if we'll see similar suits for the rest of the Ninja...I mean Kai, nor Jay have these new suits. But Nya's is similar to Zane's and Lloyd's aswell! (and then Cole is nowhere to be found...) Quote
PenPlays Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Yeah. You're about 3-4 days late. Not at all. That was our first clear pic. Lloyd however was a few days ago (and something I reported as well). Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 So, do we know if the overlord has legs as well as his walker? I was looking at pics that focus on the top of the box and it looks like he does. He might also have sloped legs like Western Wyldstyle Quote

If it is a snake tail we would've noticed the curves. Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I'm totally okay with that! This set is one of the best! Quote
Mandate Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Not at all. That was our first clear pic. Lloyd however was a few days ago (and something I reported as well). No, we had the videos beforehand. You were late. Quote
Jetrax99 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 No, we had the videos beforehand. You were late. Pics and videos are not the same, so no, he isn't late. He would be if he'd posted the video you did, but he didn't, he posted a picture. Quote
PenPlays Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) No, we had the videos beforehand. You were late. Should have said that the clear views were in the video. You make it sound there was no new information when you say "why Zane?" In saying that, your video went under the radar as if no information had been shown to prove it, hence the pic.

Mandate Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Should have said that the clear views were in the video. Your not understanding of "why Zane?" after went under the radar as if no information had been shown to prove it, hence the pic. I'm sorry, what? "Your not understanding of "X" after went under the radar"? If you're talking about two months ago when I was speculating about Zane's different versions, when we had no information surrounding the TV show or the plot whatsoever, that was speculation. We had nothing to go on. And if that's not what you are referring to, then please, clean up the statement a bit. As it is I have no idea of what you mean by "went under the radar" and why showing a pic has anything to do with it. And I'm pretty sure that "your not" is incorrect grammar anyway. Even if it was my theory, I don't know how that's even relevant right now. We already knew Zane was getting a new outfit, and this isn't even a clear picture anyway. High res, yes, but 2/3 of the texture is blocked by the Techno Blade and the other 3rd doesn't give away much as to the rest of the design. Clear picture of Zane, but not of the printing. By the way, a video is a compilation of fast moving pictures. There is a pause button, they are the same thing. The only difference is one is a collection of pictures, whereas the other is a solitary picture. Quote

TheRedGuy Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 No offense, but is it really necessary to start conflict over something so minor? On topic, am I the only who thinks the tripod thingy in the shrine set is actually pretty nice? The legs are meh, but the top part is quite nice. Quote
Mandate Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Happy now? I was referring to this post: And therefore they are two completely different pieces of media, and can be considered as two completely separate pieces of information. Except one CONTAINS the other, not the other way around. A pause button exists, and a video is still an image. They are, at the very least, not, "completely separate," both are a form of imagery, and at the basic level they are both quite literally the exact same thing other than the fact that one is a collection of multiple images. In regards to the thing about Zane, I'm not even sure if I understand what you're even talking about. I'm not sure why I had to say that views of Zane were in the video, what does that even have to do with anything? In your post, you said (and I quote) "And we'll be getting a new Zane!". Your original post had nothing to do with clear imaging, your original post dictates the confines of this argument, which was that you said we would be getting a new variant of Zane, something previously suspected, then confirmed by images of the box, and further confirmed by videos of the set. This has nothing to do with clear imaging, considering your own image wasn't even showing all of the print anyway. But right now you've changed the subject from the fact that you were late on the subject of getting a new Zane to clear imagery and the difference between a video and an image. Back on-topic... The more I look at TBoNC the more I like it. It's no Fire Temple, but it is most definitely more beautiful than the Bounty or the Temple of Light. Quote
Tobias_Jay Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 No offense, but is it really necessary to start conflict over something so minor? On topic, am I the only who thinks the tripod thingy in the shrine set is actually pretty nice? The legs are meh, but the top part is quite nice. Yes I agree, the tripod looks very nice. Honestly the whole set looks like a big win. Maybe not the best, but a very good set indeed. Quote
