That mammoth set looks cool (pun intended) and I like how it has trans-light blue spider legs!

That lion set though... What is that?

Im not sure about all the trans-blue at the mo, but i'll reserve judgement until I see it properly. Im super excited for the rest of tge sets though! (especially the sabre tigers and vultures)

(Edit: Sorry, I didn't notice the double post until now.)

Seems like the Mammoths are olive green and the Vultures (that's one attacking Razar, right?) are white. It's odd because the Sabretooth Tigers are white too (Fangar at least). Ah well, Gorzan was white black like the Ravens so I guess it can work, even on a Ultrabuild scale.

EDIT: Grah, black! Not white. :blush:

They're not the same piece as the spider legs. They're a larger version that also appears in the Hero Factory set Queen Beast vs. Furno, Evo, and Stormer. I was wondering whether they'd show up in Chima and I guess I need not wonder any longer!

Truly that mammoth walker is a beauty to behold. The giant fans and huge quantities of transparent light blue help give it a fantastic icy look. It is every bit as formidable as last year's Gorilla Striker, but instead of looking goofy it looks huge and formidable. The bony aesthetic also gives it a fearsome prehistoric vibe.

Laval Fire Lion is a less traditional mech, but it is still elegant and imposing. It reminds me a bit of the Tarakava set from BIONICLE based on its structure. I wonder what kinds of functions it might boast.

Overall the summer Chima sets are looking good from these preliminary pics, and I have no doubt the finalized versions will continue to impress. I was a bit unsure about the "fire and ice" theme (especially since it feels like we got very little time to enjoy the unique aesthetic of the latest "outlands" arc), but I definitely like the direction the summer sets will be taking things.

Wait... Li'Ella and Lundor?

Are we finally getting our lady lions!?!

That Vulture set is okay. Not the best, so there are plenty of sets higher up on the purchase list than that.

New picture of the Phoenix Temple set! I've seen it in the catalog... It's pretty disappointing. I'd take the "MAT-AT" over it. :tongue:

The figures in it are Fluminox, Flinx, Foltrax, Tormak, Li'Ella, Stealthor, and Voom Voom.

I'm LOVING that "Foenix" set (why "F" names? They should all start with "Ph"). The transformation remind me a bit of Mike Rayhawk's original concepts for the Castle of Morcia in Knights Kingdom II.

Neither of them are lions if you look.

Male Lions, yes. Female Lions do not have manes, however.

There are no other creatures (that I'm aware of) that look like that and also have a species name that starts with the letter "L." If those characters had names that began with "P" then clearly they would be Panthers, but they're not.

Not to mention that Ella is a lady's name (with Li- prefix). Lundor would be considered gender neutral.

EDIT: Also, in the phoenix set, what kind of species would Tormak be? His head mold resembles, Furty and Skinnet's, but that may be just the prelims getting to me.

Are the Vultures using transparent wings and pink heads?

Please let that be true and be kept in the final versions. CHI Vardy would be awesome if those things found their way in his set.

And, I guess they finally made Lionesses because they thought it'd be a cool way to reuse the Panther tribe headpiece. Or it might be the other way around, but I doubt it (creating new tribes comes before creating new members of an existing one, I'd guess).
