3rdeye88 Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 So Mungus's mace halves aren't tr. light blue, what's the colour then? It's too light to be tr. medium blue, but too bluish to be tr clear.. it looks like its trans clear, but its kind of frosty looking. It couldn't be somehting like what the crystal takanuva mask was made of could it? Dat wing flapping feature though. Very nice. Sets are looking good; eagerly awaiting getting my hands on some of these. Like wise, I'm more eager for this than I was all of IFB. Be even more confused. Panthar does not have an accompanying minifigure at the moment. Panthar is definitely one of the first I'll be getting. Probably after Fangar, but we'll have to see... I'm definitely going for fangar first for that cape. *loves capes* Cloth is such a versatile element to MOC with. Its nice that Furno XL gave us a good whole cape last year and we're getting a tattered one this year. Now if they'd just do other colors than black. Quote
Shakar Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Takanuva's special Avokhii was tr. clear mixed with glitter. This one features no glitter, and the colour definitely isn't tr. clear- it's looks similar, but it's got a bluish tint. I really don't think it's the lightning.. Vardy's ice wings are in a similar colour..and it's much different than his tr. light blue bones. According to, Bricklink there's a colour called tr. very light blue, but it's discounted since 2006. It's either clear (looking different due to lightning) or a whole new colour. It's really odd because at Toy Fair Nuremberg (where all sets were in their final versions) the mace halves were tr. light blue. Quote
Aethersprite Posted March 15, 2014 Author Posted March 15, 2014 Definitely getting Sir Fangar and Fluminox, but that's probably it. Their wing feature really reminds me of Nidhiki's claws/legs. Quote
Takanuinuva Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 I'm getting Sir Fangar, Fluminox and Laval. I may get Cragger. I'm going to skip on Vardy, Mungus and Panthar. They each have parts I can use but I'll get them of Bricklink or order them from Lego. Quote
3rdeye88 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Definitely getting Sir Fangar and Fluminox, but that's probably it. Their wing feature really reminds me of Nidhiki's claws/legs. I made that same comparison on DA in my LoC update journal when someone commented about the video. Glad to see them harkening back to cool features like that.

Mesonak Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Welp. This is one of the strangest things I've heard since HF going minifigure scale. I can't help but feel there's more to this than "focusing on other product lines." Quote
Shakar Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) That makes no sense. We have finalized packaging and a recent video presenting the sets. Not to mention there are a bunch of new molds- you know how expensive new molds are. Oh, and they actually stepped up their game this year, with 7 sets instead of 6 (including two bigger ones)- that suggests the opposite of this decision, they put a lot of faith in these sets. Maybe they are Europe-only? To clarify, because I've heard some confusion on this elsewhere, this information comes from LEGO, and none of it is my opinion.The LEGO Group is made up of many companies in different countries and regions, and each of those companies have different departments. Sometimes this makes communication within the group difficult, from what I've heard. I reached out to several sources within the company, and one let me know they received a "vague answer" that the sets had been scrapped. As far as the person I talked to is aware, the sets will not be released, but there is always a chance that they do not have all of the information. It's still really unclear. I've never seen anything like this before, as far as Lego is concerned.Granted, most of the sets look lackluster but the transparent bones, the new chest armour and a few other pieces are FANTASTIC. Seeing these shafted would suck. Edited March 19, 2014 by Shakar Quote
coolcab1 Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! I was already making a list of what to buy for this summer and the sets were on it. :cry_sad: :cry_sad: Edited March 19, 2014 by coolcab1 Quote
TheDesuComplex Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Darn, it sucks if these truly are cancelled. Quote
just2good Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Maybe they are Europe-only? This seems to be the case. They didn't appear in the catalog I saw, the NYTF, or the PR catalog for that toy fair. But, they're still listed on several European sites, and appeared in European catalogs and the European toy fairs as long as I know. Quote
Kalhiki Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 If they are Europe-only, then maybe there's a chance they'll be released elsewhere at a later date? Either way, if it's true, that's really disappointing. I may have actually gotten some of these. Quote
PenPlays Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 I refuse to believe this, and I will continue to do so, until I see a Lego employee officially comment on the matter. Quote
Takanuinuva Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 I refuse to believe this, and I will continue to do so, until I see a Lego employee officially comment on the matter. Agreed. Front, care to tell anything you know about this? Quote
dviddy Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 I refuse to believe this, and I will continue to do so, until I see a Lego employee officially comment on the matter. You do know Andrew's source is a lego employee? It is not like bzpower is making it up. Quote
Mr. Gundam Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 You got to be kidding me, So im never gonna see the combiners of these sets. UGH! I was looking forward to it Quote
bacem Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 oh... oh well, that's one thing gone from my list then... Quote
DOTM Shockwave Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Well. ... Their goes my future Hero Factory and Chima Ultrabuilds mod ideas. Quote
bacem Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 ... Their goes my future Hero Factory and Chima Ultrabuilds mod ideas. they only cancel chima tough. HF still there. Quote
Karateduo1 Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Well. I heard a rumor that Chima Constraction figures of 2013 were(are) shelfwarmers in the U.S.A. Dunno if that was true, but it would stand as a reason. Quote
DOTM Shockwave Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 they only cancel chima tough. HF still there. I know, but I was planning on using parts from the new Chima sets to mod the summer HF sets and current Chima sets. Quote
