DOTM Shockwave Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 My Jaw-beast and Flyer-beast came in today, also, if it counts, the Brain Attack Polybag came in as well. Quote
exxtrooper Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Got a hold of Flyer beast and Rocka stealth machine, now that the whole line is in stores i consider getting another one of the sets, but I am not sure which yet. Not sure if im getting Stormer or Furno, while everyone recommends getting furno the chances of them staying together in the long run as I'm more interested in making my own mechs, and both the stormer minifig and some of its parts look very promising.

DraikNova Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Either one of the remaining Beasts would be a good one, but if you want something really different, both Stormer and Furno's Mechs could be useful. Stormer's container is a more neutral color, and may be easier for you to use in a MOC, but Furno has more bone pieces. Then again, Stormer has two gunmetal Savage Planet paws. Evo's Walker is an excellent set, though, and has both a great deal of rare bone pieces, more so than either, plus a lot of Jumpers. The build is very unique and quite a good one, to the degree that it is my current favorite. I've already rebuilt it several times over, just from it's own pieces. Quote
Mesonak Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) I picked up Jaw Beast and the Stealth Machine the other day. Couple comments on both: -Stealth Machine is pretty fantastic. A bit more generic than the Jet Machine but with enough originality to make it shine. Only things I have to complain about are the somewhat-awkward looking shoulder pads and the printed armor piece being SILVER. Other than that, I'm a pretty big fan. Some amazing pieces, too. -Jaw Beast is an interesting little guy. I'm amazed it was able to work so well with such a small piece count. He's pretty great; obviously he shines in terms of parts value, but the set itself is quite nice as well. -The Rocka and Stormer minifigs are legit. My favorite from the entire lineup so far.

exxtrooper Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) I don't know if this is the right thread for this, but I tried to refrain from making a new topic as I didnt find it that significant. Picture taken on my phone, hence the quality. Quite an interesting find, this thing has been on display in my local toy store as long as i can remember, and they've now put the whole thing up for sale, and I'm considering buying it. It's up for 719,- NOK, which is close to it's original Norwegian prize being 799,- NOK, which translates to 133,80,- dollars. Original american and UK prizes were $79.99 and £49.99. Putting this into perspective makes me sad that lego is so expensive in countries such as Norway and Australia : / I picked up Jaw Beast and the Stealth Machine the other day.

While I absolutely despise Rocka as a character, it's the first Mech I got and it is probably best if not the best traditional mech we're getting this year. While the Stormer minifig looks magnificent, I'd argue the Rocka minifig doesnt look that good. The pearl gold color along with the details makes me prefer any of the other minifig colors.

Mesonak Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) ^Woah, that's a pretty cool thing to be put up for sale. You should get it. A friend of mine (Venom) recently came across a large, brick-built Vakama Hordika statue in his local toy shop that wasn't for sale. It was pretty great. I wonder what it is about 2005 that warrants keeping these things around. XD Edited March 7, 2014 by Mesonak Quote
DraikNova Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Yeah, I saw the whole pile of Bionicle and HF display's one of my local stores had, all piled up into a corner once. Anyway, I'm doubtful about the MOCcing potential of that set, but if you care more about the set itself rather than it's components, go for it. Quote
ShadowWolfHount Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 I have gotten the Evo Walker and Jaw Beast and I have to say that Evo Walker make the Evo Titan Machine (still not calling it XL) look good. And with Jaw Beast I just have to say that I am in love with it Quote
DOTM Shockwave Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 And with Jaw Beast I just have to say that I am in love with it Same here, and to think, I was going to skip him. Anyways, I've picked up Furno's Jet Machine along with the Mixels Vulk, Zaptor, and Shuff. Quote
Zenerius Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Picked up Rocka Stealth machine and the red mixel Vulk. Rocka's machine is one of the best in the first wave IMO. Quote
EVO97 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 I just got Jaw Beast, too. It's a great $10 set. It's nice to see all of the new sets finally show up. Quote
ShadowWolfHount Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 I just got Jaw Beast, too. It's a great $10 set. It's nice to see all of the new sets finally show up. Okay if Zenerius that he have gotten Jaw Beast instead of Racka Mech, I was about to say change this topic to the Last Jaw Beast you have gotten or topic to all about Jaw Beast (that was a joke like the bad joke).But I think Jaw Beast is going to be the most favorite Beast out of all the others.

But I think Jaw Beast is going to be the most favorite Beast out of all the others. Definitely sounds that way from what everyone's saying. I know what IFB set I'm getting first now(still don't have any). This was a great topic who ever started it. Quote
ShadowWolfHount Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 I have just gotten some okay looking Ninjago Knockoffs and they are ultrabuilds Quote
ShadowWolfHount Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 ^ Can we have some pictures of them? I will make a review on them sometime soon, so keep your eyes open on what a do... but don't be a creeper and look at me while I am asleep Quote
Zenerius Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Got Furno Jet Machine yesterday. Yet again, another cool set from the first wave. I might even prefer it over Rocka's. Quote
Bfahome Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Just checked out with Krader, Vulk, and Flyer Beast vs. Breez on S@H. Hopefully they'll arrive by Monday so I can just shower myself in the LEGO stuff I've ordered over spring break (but having them delivered to campus). Already got three BrickLink orders waiting for me so hey why not add another thing to the pile. (mixels :3) Quote
WARHEAD Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I just got City and Sub Slizers and the Onyx Roborider. :v Quote
DOTM Shockwave Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I bought the XL Machine, course after modding it, the XL title no longer applies to it (I made it smaller, but it's still taller than the other machines). Quote
Vvortex Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 I just bought the Flyer Beast and the Furno Jet Machine. Nice stuff. Quote
ZORK64 Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 I recently bought Splitter Beast vs. Furno & Evo. Haven't unpacked it yet, but I'm looking forward to do so. Quote
arc Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 If I remember correctly, it was bionicle gadunka I picked up off ebay a couple years back. I cant remember buying any retail in a long time. Quote
