PenPlays Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 What function? Did I miss something while I was gone. Retractable flame function. Watch the video that was posted showcasing the sets (it's somewhere in the past two pages) to get a closer look. Quote
coolcab1 Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Oh now I get it, the eagle one is sooo ugly but I will get it for the minifiguers. Quote
Toby Adams Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Oh now I get it, the eagle one is sooo ugly but I will get it for the minifiguers. I am avoiding all of the sets exept Speedorz, Laval's Fire Lion, Ice Cave and the Fire Striker Quote
Bricktimus Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 I'll definitely pick up a few of these but the main one I'm after is the vulture, not sure why but I really like it! Quote
PenPlays Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Found this on the tag of a "Gift Guide" at Target yesterday... Spotted this guy on the Toys 'R' Us site... Quote
exxtrooper Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Isn't the expecting release date supposed to be around summer though? Quote
PenPlays Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Isn't the expecting release date supposed to be around summer though? Yes. August if I remember right. Being that the Summer wave is the larger of the two waves this year, most advertisements will feature art from that wave. Some store chains appear to be getting the material early. Quote
just2good Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) Thanks to 'civis_brick_workshop' on eBay, we have pictures of the new Ice Fortress set! Edited March 25, 2014 by just2good Quote
CM4Sci Posted March 25, 2014 Author Posted March 25, 2014 oo Um. That's a HUGE letdown. Thanks, J2G! -Sci Quote
Freddy Bricker Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Thanks for the images, I'm unsure if I like what I see or not, but something about it yells "buy me". Eh., I'll be thinking about this one. Quote
TheLazyChicken Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 It looks kinda cool, but I am not sure if I should buy it. I need to know the price and how many parts it has. Quote
Nagyzee Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 It will retail for about 65-70 EUR. I assume that translates to 60-70 USD. I can't help with part count as it's not mentioned on the European boxes. Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 I personally really like it! Piece-wise it's awesome! White and trans blue are my style! Quote
AnthonyP301 Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Wow, I wonder how they got it. I'd buy it if it was $60 or under, but $400?!?! Seriously, where'd they get it?! Quote
Tobias_Jay Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Seriously, no Bears! The set to me is like the Crocodile Hideout from last year, no exclusive minifigures and a lackluster build. I'm a bit disappointed. Quote
Nagyzee Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Wow, I wonder how they got it. I'd buy it if it was $60 or under, but $400?!?! Seriously, where'd they get it?! First off I'm not expecting to sell it for that much. That's why I accept offers. Secondly over here it will retail for about 1.5x more than 60 USD. (And I bought it at retail price.) Factoring in eBay's fees and free shipping which is damn expensive for a parcel I'd have to sell it for more than 150 USD just to break even. If you want it at US RRP (which is the lowest RRP in the world) then you'll have to wait a few more months I'm afraid.

The set weighs about 630 grams. 70147 weighs 1140 grams. Edited March 26, 2014 by Nagyzee Quote
Toby Adams Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) IMO That looks OK and somthing tells me to 'buy it, buy it' EDIT: That Fire Striker looks like something from 'wacky racers'. EDIT 2: Trans.blue armor. #Mustbuy. Edited March 26, 2014 by Toby Adams Quote

I also didn't know about the price, but if I had the money I would have made an offer for around that price. I know someone who sells patches on eBay and he talks about how free shipping is usually necessary even though it's more expensive and how eBay charges the sellers. I was just surprised when I heard about it being sold and the price. Sorry again, but thanks for the pictures! Edit: Are the summer sets already available where you live? Edit 2: I also meant that $60 would be what I would pay for this in the US in the summer. Edited March 27, 2014 by AnthonyP301 Quote

Edit 2: I also meant that $60 would be what I would pay for this in the US in the summer. Now worries. No, the rest of the summer sets are not available, just these 3 retailer exclusives. A shop started selling them early by accident, I guess. Quote
Aanchir Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 That crocodile vehicle has the new "fang with clip" piece in white! That could definitely be useful. I don't remember seeing it in that color on any of the other sets. Not a super-attractive vehicle in my eyes, though. The nose is far too smooth. At least the function looks cool. Quote
Csacsa234 Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 The Ica-cave and the Crocodile car is available in the Hungarian Lego store already. Weird. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=480967292028767&set=a.157318637726969.32147.155279034597596&type=1&theater Quote
PenPlays Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Thought I'd be helpful and post a handy US price guide for the Summer wave of sets: 70149-70155 (normal Speedorz)-$12.99 70156 Fire VS. Ice-$19.99 70141 Vardy's Ice Vulture Glider-$19.99 70142 Eris' Fire Eagle Flyer-$29.99 70143 Sir Fangar's Sabre Tooth Walker-$39.99 70144 Laval's Fire Lion $49.99 70145 Maula's Ice Mammoth Stomper-$89.99 70146 Flying Phoenix Fire Temple-$119.99 Quote
Toby Adams Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Wait. The fire lion will be £40? I'll miss it. No way would I waste my money on that thinking about it. Quote
