legofanatic12 Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Looks cool! They made it by real LEGO parts which is from the MF Mummy Alarm Clock.
raminator Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Groot should be 2 bricks shorter than official version.
LMB10 Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) Groot should have been regular bigfig height. Decool messed up We can only hope SY make one in the right scale Edited February 8, 2015 by LMB10
Borex Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) That Decool Groot imo is spot on. I dont really have an interest for the gotg, but this Groot is making me doubt that choice. If you want him bigfig scale then you should buy the Lego version. Aint nothing wrong to buy real lego stuff as well ;-) Edit: oh snap they didnt make him bigfig size haha that was the videogame. My bad! Still i like this bigfig more than the one in the game. Edited February 8, 2015 by Borex
wilson3a10 Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 it would be perfect if it is just as high as the decool hulkbuster. Anyway the groot and even rocket are too big..
jangosolo Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 I'm glad they've tried something different, the Lego Game Groot is awful. It might be a bit too tall, but if it was the same height as the hulk, it would have had to fit that "big fig" mould and he would be too wide. Personally, and I am not sure if anyone has tried, but I am hoping his arms at least will fit nicely on the Offical Lego one (albiet with modifications) so I have ordered one.

I've done that and it works quite well.
jangosolo Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 I've done that and it works quite well. ooh - can you show a pic?
The Lego Nolan Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 ooh - can you show a pic? Yes. Although I just painted a boot leg hulks arms brown as I do not yet own this Groot.

jangosolo Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Here's a link https://mobile.twitt...47850496/photos Thanks - I think that will work with the thinner arms quite well! I'll still have to modify the arm socket, but its for display rather than play
Adnan Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I think with Groot's thinner body he'd look weird if he was the same size as the other big figs. Can anyone do a side by side comparison with a big fig?
LMB10 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 They only needed to make the arms and legs a little shorter
jangosolo Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I hadn't thought that Decool Groot would be a different shade of brown. bah!
LegoGunInstructions Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) I think they are pretty good knock-offs. I would buy them cuz' I'm sort of a die-hard lego fan. Edited February 12, 2015 by LegoGunInstructions
adalric Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 So placed an order for the 3 latest SY sets (SY258, SY259, and SY262) on AE in early January, and according to the tracking number, it still is in process. Placed an order two days ago for the latest Decool set plus Groot on eBay, and I'll have it tomorrow (plus it was cheaper than AE). Definitely will be sticking with eBay in the future. :/

Although the seller should have sent the other two sets separately.
Borex Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 My Superblocks came in last week. I have to say, although a lot of you dont like the new sy figures, i'm really font of them. Especially ant-man, whom i use every chance i get to harass my girlfriend with annoying nerdy "hi, i'm ant-man" stuff. Shall the next Decool wave be a dc-wave based on the new series?
adalric Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Although the seller should have sent the other two sets separately. Yeah, this is my frustration. Thinking I may reach out to see if I can cancel the entire order and just get individual sets from eBay instead (and new Iron Man when it's available).

Especially ant-man, whom i use every chance i get to harass my girlfriend with annoying nerdy "hi, i'm ant-man" stuff. Shall the next Decool wave be a dc-wave based on the new series? Same here. I really like them. Now I've switched out all the arms for proper Lego ones I think they look great. Phoenix is now perfect with the old Decool double sided head and official Lego red hair. Green Arrow is also perfect and I much prefer the brown straps to the black on the SDCC figure (I know I've said that before but I'm actually really impressed by the quality of the print on that figure. I've used the head from an Onlinesailin custom I bought a long time ago on it and it's bang on. Galactus is fantastic. My Antman had Loki's head on it but now has this piece. Beast also has excellent print and looks much better in the flesh over the CGI rendition on the listings. LB2 Cyborg is very well done (I've sprayed the helmet up to remove the grey underparts that are visible). Comic Hawkeye is also really well done with the only gripe being the bottom part of the facemask part could have been a little thinner to show the mouth area more.
da6driver Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) I never received my order of the new 16 SY superheroes from Superblocks. I raised a dispute on aliexpress and it was never resolved. I got the refund, but now I must consider reordering from another seller. I would be lucky if I ever got the set I originally ordered.

I cancelled mine and ordered the sets separately. Since shipping's normally free there's no point ordering batches.

I was one of the first to order from them, and i still don't have it. Tracking says it is in route, but i don't think it's coming.

Tracking says it is in route, but i don't think it's coming. I ordered mine on the 1st Jan and did get mine in the end, though they definately weren't sent when he said originally, does the tracker show the ID to be valid? It does seem that some of the Aliexpress sellers prebuy tracking numbers as I have had a few recently that simply didn't work, only to suddenly be recognised a week or two later
