Hero Factory 2014 Discussion

[Shakar]

Your post just made me realize something: will a set whose name focus on jaws feature a working (opening/closing) mouth, like, say, Chi Cragger?

This made me remember a post I wrote a few months ago, which might explain Jaw Beast's mouth function (that is, if the set features it, of course). Basically the lower jaw could be attached to the clip on the new head, while the top axle hole is used to attach the upper jaw+head piece. It could work, but I don't know. It was Frost Beast which gave me this idea- for a while, I thought his lower jaw could be a separate piece attaching to the head handle clip.

Jawblade could open and close his mouth too if I remember right.

Tommorows the 11th. Possibility of pics:

BIG

So where are they ? I was thinking about some creatures like with Corroder's head. That could look like from Pacific Rim. And I hope these suits won't be made out of Creator parts.

So why did you even say "big" if you're just going to recant on that? Not that anybody should have believed a completely unverifiable piece of speculation, but hey.

He could, but that was based on ball-and-socket usage, rather than clips (which is what is being suggested for Jaw Beast in conjunction with the new head design and could be really cool), as well as however the heck Cragger operates, which is something I don't fully know.

[Brickthing]

To reiterate what Big Cam said, please stop wondering about when we'll see pictures if that's all your post contains. They'll come when they'll come, which may well be soon, but speculating alone doesn't add anything to the discussion.

Thanks!

Well, whenever we get them, there's a high chance I'll be impressed.

Glad you like my idea. And Cragger's lower jaw is attached in the same way the head/upper jaw attaches to the main body of System crocodiles.

And I'm optimistic about the Villains. Corydoras said they look much better than the 2013 Villains, and that's enough for me. I was hugely disappointed by those, except Dragon Bolt and (somewhat) Frost Beast.

Lego loves Jaws because they're jawesome.

I couldn't resist.

Something I have thought of though, how will these sets be interpreted in film form? Because if they are standard build villains verses minifig sized heroes, those are going to be some bigass villains.

They do seem to imply that the villains are giant, considering the Heroes need to use mechs.

Just picture Pacific Rim with LEGO. And since Ghost worked on both of them.

IT'S GLORIOUS.

Unless the episode is in that damn crappy 240p as the Brain Attack episode. Wasted opportunity to the max.

hopefully not. the theme is changed to Attack From Below, so the site will definitely undergo some change, or more like, massive change. they have to do that.

[Jetrax99]

I'm probably out of my mind, but I really hope these Hero minifigs are not the standard minifig with armor. I'd like to see LEGO do something similar, but not identical, to the minifigs Mega produces for their Halo, CoD and WoW lines. Throw some elbow and knee joints in there. (*GASP!* Blasphemy!)

I have no idea. The Jaw Beast has a weird shaped purple piece that I think is its head and arms like a mantis - no hands, just long single spike on each arm.

Did any HF sets to date have flick-fire missles? Because I'm pretty sure EVO XL has them.

[Chro]

I'm pretty sure that there've only been two sets with flickfire missiles, those being the Breakout and Brain Attack editions of Bulk.

[ZORK64]

Brain Attack Stormer and Surge also got flick fire missiles.

Regarding pictures... weren't the pictures we always got in the previous years leaks as well? Because I'm now a bit confused about which pictures are allowed and when.

[Leewan]

Bulk Breakout hadn't FF missiles... Jet Rocka, though, have some of them. But the missiles being on the jectpack and not on Rocka himself, I'm not sure if it really counts. x)

EDIT : Here's a list of the flick fire missiles-equipped Hero Factory sets.

The pics we got last year were leaked over an online store, I think, as they were already finalized product pictures. I don't know where they came from, though, I just remember seeing them on Brickshelf (which I guess is just where the original finder re-uploaded them to).

Do you mean on Eurobricks or in general? In general people aren't supposed to see the pictures until they're nice and finished. Same on EB. No posting if there's a confidential watermark.

[Shakar]

Hmm, flick missiles. My initial reaction was "ugh", then I remembered I kept them on Surge's wings because they looked nice. But Stormer's launcher was really sloppy looking.

So I hope the missiles on Evo's XL mech (heh, that sounds so weird to say) flow with the rest of the set.

Do you remember anything about Rocka Stealth Machine (gold one)?

Sorry for the edit, the phone keyboard's auto correct messed some things up.

Last year I initially found them on this website and then uploaded them to my Majhost gallery afterwards.

I've been searching every day across the web to no avail. The only sites which have yielded pictures for other themes so far have been Kmart and Brixit.

Is Grogall not the one who always has new photos?

Grogall is typically known for getting the HD, finalized images of upcoming sets. Prelims and initial discoveries aren't really his specialty, though it's not unheard of. :P

Ah, okay. Yeah, I was way wrong. XD

I meant in general. I believed that some of the leaks for the 2011 line had confidential watermarks on them, that's why I was so confused about that.

Same here, I've always searched around and haven't found anything (yet). :P
