Dorek Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Hey, I'll put up with an alternate universe for that guide book he's writing. I have ridiculously high expectations for that. Quote
ToaJaller78 Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 I like the new episode. You can argue back if you want, I Like it Quote
ToaJaller78 Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 It will be on TV, because in my Australian catalogue it says to look out for the new episode on Nickelodeon. Edit: By the way, I built Bulk. Not a bad set, just not a particularly great set. When, WHEN? (I've seen it already though) Quote
howie28 Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Dunno. It's pretty vague, doesn't give much info. Quote
Devorath Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 I once searched for Lego shows in my Sky Watch, but they made it so you had to go online for the kid channel schedules! Quote
Gatanui Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) Seriously, LEGO? This video isn't even 240p. We're in 2013, I think 480p or even 360p really isn't too much to expect for a video. >.< Still have to finish watching it. It seems quite rushed, but the music and animation are very nice, from what can be seen at the small size. Pleasantly surprised the video was uploaded in other languages besides English, particularly German which is the one I have checked. With that awful website, I really didn't expect them to spend the money and resources to do that. EDIT: Just finished watching. Not my favourite episode, but still a very nice watch. :) -Gata Edited March 10, 2013 by Gatanui Quote
howie28 Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 I agree with you on the resolution. It was horrible. And why don't Lego upload these videos to their YouTube channel. That would be alot better for all of us. Quote

Cahillrebel Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Exactly! They don't understand that you can't just focus on one popular line and think another line will do just fine with little attention. Just look at the site they made for HF and then the one for Chima. See a difference? Quote
bacem Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 the english version has been uploaded on youtube : Quote
ToaJaller78 Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 the english version has been uploaded on youtube : Ok.....WHO IS THAT VILLAIN????FURNO WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR VOICE????? There better be part 2. Quote
Dorek Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 The English version has been on youtube since, like, day 1 =P. Anyhow, they couldn't get the same actor. Maybe the other guy was just busy, or maybe it was deliberate to portray a more mature Furno. Another episode would answer a lot of these questions. As for the villain... who knows, man. Quote
HUZKEE Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) Ugh. So many problems with this episode. It's like Lego isn't even trying. There's hardly any character development for any of the heroes. let alone the villain(s). When did Furno get to be de facto team leader? How is it that Stormer just let's him take the lead without nothing but a word? Couldn't they at least include a scene to set up the team mechanics for the mission? It's all so rushed: Here's some bad guys, Get new upgrades. Do some fighting. Include comedic event. It plays like an extended commercial for the toys. I realize the Hero Factory has always been lite in the story front but this bare bones episode takes any semblance of character from the figures themselves down to zero. It might make for easy access to the new comers to the series and toy line but It doesn't promote brand loyalty. Let's not even talk about the disaster that the HF site has turned into. A 12 year old could make a more competent website. Not only is it an insult to HF fans but also to Lego's own designers that work on the series. Edited March 11, 2013 by HUZKEE Quote

Well, in a way it's supposed to be just that, an extended commercial. Personally I'm not too annoyed by the fact that Furno leads the team without any explanation whatsoever now. Why explain the obvious? It's not too surprising either. I agree about the website, though. That thing is awful. -Gata Quote

Dorek Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I don't so much disagree with the design of the website, just the extremely poor coding and organization. A timeline isn't such a horrible idea (in fact, I really like it), but they have barely archived any material, and it is plagued by poor loading times and a crappy display system. It was far too ambitious for their own capabilities. Quote
Mesonak Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) I'd like the timeline more if it was actually a timeline with, you know, organization by story year. Instead it's just random placement and a jumble of previously released videos. I find it just rich that while they're making efforts to improve by including Brain Attack and Breakout banners, the first three things below the Breakout banner are the following, in this order: 1. Breakout 2. Brain Attack 3. Hero Factory 1.0 testimonials :| Edited March 12, 2013 by Mesonak Quote
Devorath Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Yeah. It should be organized by year: -Brain Attack -Breakout -Savage Planet -Ordeal of Fire -1.0 stuff Quote
Vinyl Scratch Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Didn't anyone think of sending LEGO a letter or something so they update the website? Quote
Gatanui Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) Didn't anyone think of sending LEGO a letter or something so they update the website? I'm pretty sure they'd totally ignore a customer service email and unfortunately, we don't know who the webmaster is. Just noticed they've uploaded the Fox Sports episodes to the website as well. -Gata Edited March 12, 2013 by Gatanui Quote
