Jargo Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) Meh. Just another Lion. Bring on the Arachnids and Bats and Rhinos. Then we'll be cooking. I joke. He looks quite cool even if he does seem a bit too dark for a lion. The legs have the lion emblem so it's definitely tribe correct. it also wouldn't be the first time minifigures had mismatched legs and torso. So I wouldn't be too sure about more dark lions.

Xenophobic Monoxide Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Perhaps, since there is theory about this all taking place underground, these will be a special tribe of "cave lions". Quote
krystalKING Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 I will say, it might be his actual legs, considering how Eris has a mismatched torso and hip area. Quote
kermit Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) I am not too sold on this minifigure. To me it just seems like another lion in a different colour. Edited October 15, 2013 by kermit Quote
Shakar Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Am I the only one who REALLY wants to see these in silver? Quote
Meiko Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Am I the only one who REALLY wants to see these in silver? It'd be nice to have them in several more colours, silver at least. Quote
Shakar Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Perhaps new Eagle vehicles might feature them. I'd like to see titanium metallic too. They made them in gold so obviously metallic colours are no problem. And do we know anything about Legend Beasts? I heard they're System-built animals with a minifig included. Quote

The Legend Beast sets sound really good, but wow... The actual sets are just... eh. Reminds me of the January 2013 wave. Edited October 18, 2013 by just2good Quote
Mandate Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Only 5 main sets? Seems like they're downsizing Chima's catalogue for NINJAGO and other things. Quote
just2good Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Only 5 main sets? Seems like they're downsizing Chima's catalogue for NINJAGO and other things. Keep in mind, besides the five main sets, we're also getting the two retail exclusives, five Speedorz sets, and five Legend Beasts. Lots of small sets, but yeah, definitely a decrease from this year.

Lots of small sets, but yeah, definitely a decrease from this year. Yeah, I'm aware of the mini-sets. But a total line-up of 15 sets? True, NINJAGO had a similar decrease but that may have been due to the insane amount of Spinners that were coming out. EDIT: Well, actually, NINJAGO only "lost" one set. But you know what I mean Edited October 19, 2013 by JayWalker Quote
Daenerys Targaryen Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 May be a bit smaller, but didn't last year's winter wave also include a bunch of added promo-stuff that somewhat inflated the amount of "releases"? Anyways, while I'm not thrilled at all about the minifig assortments, I really can't wait for pics now!!! Quote

The Bat Tribe colours are really weird- kinda cool though. Nice to see Eris again- I have to somehow get her minifig someday. So the colours for the new factions are: Bats: black, lime, dark green and dark pink Spiders: black, dark red and tr. green (tr. bright green maybe? I can't explain "tr. dark green" otherwise) Rhinos: white black and grey Scorpions; black and dark green (and gold ? The scorpion in the book cover is gold and black). And the Legend Beasts might be interesting. I excepted and hoped for constraction sets, not gonna lie (but those might show up in early Summer like it happened this year), but these might include interesting pieces. Plus they include one minifig each, so one more reason to possibly buy them. Quote
Peppermint_M Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Also to remember is the polybags that get sold through retailers, not just the ones that are promotional. While they aren't the best sets they are a decent price. I am not sure about where they sell in the US but in the UK WHSmith's have them at £2.99. Quote
DraikNova Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Brick built scorpion? That might be a set for me to pick up. Quote
Rocketbilly Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Thanks very much for the news about the upcoming sets, they sound very interesting! however I fear a slew of brick built arachnids could get a bit boring, especially given Galaxy Squad also features insectoid mechs which could end up being very similar...hopefully these will be unique enough to stand out. One question, though... do you remember which characters came with the Legend Beasts? Quote
Daenerys Targaryen Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Also, why no Raven Legend Beast? No love for my favourite tribe it seems. Quote
Rocketbilly Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Also, why no Raven Legend Beast? No love for my favourite tribe it seems. Agreed! that's something that has really annoyed me, too - perhaps we'll get another wave of them in the summer, or it'll appear as part of a set. I'm annoyed at the lack of ravens in general - it doesn't seem like we're getting any in this first wave of sets for next year! Quote

Any idea when we'll get to see pictures of them? Before I get too excited I would like to see them. Depending on the size the Legend Beast could be the big winners here but I would also like to see if the new Bats would work with my Fright Knights. Quote
Shakar Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 The Legend Beasts are 9/10 Euro sets, I wouldn't except something huge. They could be useful for Fantasy settings, I think. Quote
omegabob Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 The Legend Beasts are 9/10 Euro sets, I wouldn't except something huge. They could be useful for Fantasy settings, I think. That's exactly what I was thinking of using them for. Quote
TheLazyChicken Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 The Legend Beasts are 9/10 Euro sets, I wouldn't except something huge. They could be useful for Fantasy settings, I think. Yeah, I am also planning on using them for that or maybe a chima zoo. Quote
omegabob Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Yeah, I am also planning on using them for that or maybe a chima zoo. Depending on how the Lions look I was thinking something along the lines of a chariot pulled by lions....like seen below: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod790879 Quote
