da6driver Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Here is a listing for the Decool GOTG set with actual pictures of the figures. Quality control seems to be lacking as usual with Decool. There appears to be printing issues on several figures, but I'm sure this will vary on everyone's sets. It does look like they have printed the arms of Drax though (good news). http://www.aliexpress.com/item/subject/32217237832.html Edited October 21, 2014 by da6driver
jangosolo Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) I've started ordering bits and pieces to upgrade my new Supes set that's incoming - just had a panic - what colour are Bizarro's legs? Are they straight blue? They look blue on this video, but looks sort of purpley blue on some of the videos, any advice gratefully received! Hmm, I think its a trick of the light - it is blue isn't it - I can't see anyother colours near it on Bricklink, even though Brickipedia reckon its Sand Blue (nope!!)

gavralcraw Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 according to brickepedia the official lego is as follows: Bizarro has Mutt Williams's hairpiece in black and a double sided white head with sunken eyes and cheeks, showing an angry expression on one side and sad on the other side. He has a purple cape and a sand blue torso which has muscular printing, along with a reversed purple S logo against yellow and a rock made sign saying "Bizarro #1" over it, and a yellow belt. His hands are white, arms and legs are sand blue with purple hips. I ordered my SY superman bizarro set off AE but have not got him yet. :( It does look normal blue though. Maybe it is lighter. If sand blue... hmmm need to get some sand blue lego legs then too.
Darkrattyop Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 I don't know why, but I really want one of the companies to make a Howard the Duck
Kire Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Gamora's face seems off to me...other than that the set seems okay. Not as good the FF set by SY though.
pmptstc1 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 GotG figures have hit eBay, but they are pretty steep > http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-6pcs-Guardians-of-the-Galaxy-Minifigure-NEBULA-GAMORA-ROCKET-RACCOON-/321555790311?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item4ade37f9e7
Colossus Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Say...that MOC bootleg Colossus looks pretty good! It looks to resemble the uniform that the Colossus in my avatar is wearing. Glad I picked up that set for the Human Torch. Looks like the rest is going to be used for this Colossus. Thanks for posting!
Tyberious Funk Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 GotG figures have hit eBay, but they are pretty steep > http://www.ebay.com/...=item4ade37f9e7 Ordered my set from AliExpress for $8.80 (including shipping) Stuff from AliExpress has typically taken around 4 weeks, so I guess I'll see something by mid-November. It feels like forever, but living in Australia, you get used to waiting for stuff to arrive from overseas. Makes me think I should load up on a few more purchases, so I have some stuff that will arrive just before Christmas :)
Sabbath Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) The part number for the hair to make that colossus is 30608, if anyone needs it. Trying to find myself one now :) UPDATE: http://www.brickowl....air-30608-63287 UPDATE UPDATE: I ended up just buying one on amazon for a few bucks because I don't have paypal lol. Doesn't ship to Australia but the friend whose house I sent it to will Edited October 22, 2014 by Sabbath

His hands are white, arms and legs are sand blue with purple hips. I ordered my SY superman bizarro set off AE but have not got him yet. :( It does look normal blue though. Maybe it is lighter. If sand blue... hmmm need to get some sand blue lego legs then too. Not sure why that would be listed as Sand Blue... Sand Blue is the colour of J Jonah Jameson's suit and pants in the Daily Bugle set... and it's far too light. Bizarro has standard blue torso, arms and legs. I think the hips are actually dark purple which is the same colour as Stan Shunpike / Joker. I think if you went with purple and sand blue you'd have one that looked like it had been left in strong sunlight for quite a while. They got the hair and hand colour right though. ;)
Robianco Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 On another matter... I've actually just had a message form someone I made an order from on AE after I asked when my order would be sent and they've not received their GOTG figures yet so they're splitting my order and sending other items out. So it seems even the AE sellers are still waiting for most of them to arrive from the Taobao wholesalers!

Hmm that sucks, my seller shipped on the 13th - or at least said they did.... fingers crossed Yeah Brickipedia looks way off for that info, I went with blue with purple hips. As I didn't want to create yet another order I have bought Colossus's hair in gold! Sigh. Lucky I have some paints now...!
Robianco Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 I've made around 10 BL orders in the last couple of weeks! I tend to put the items I want in the basket then add some other things that I can sell at a profit to make up the cost. Pieces to make Rahm Kota custom = £6... sell for £12 on eBay! Whenever I have to order from Helge in Norway there's a £30 minimum order... I make sure I've got everything covered there!

jangosolo Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 SY LOTR SET SY 251 I'm trying, but I can't get excited by this set, fancy beard on Gandalf and Aragorn's Shield aside, the fact that 2 out of the 8 boxes are horses is just.. well.. meh. LOTR stuff has been out for years, I would have had Legolas, but I already paid the premium for him years ago. No Gimli either!
Robianco Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) £5.67 for a set on Ali at the moment... 70p per figure/horse. Now if they'd made the figure in the bottom left the Bilbo from the first Hobbit BluRay then it would be more interesting but as I already have all of the actual Lego figures then no interest here. Maybe the Orc army builders might be interested. Thinking about it this is a LOTR range rather than the Hobbit so maybe I'm asking too much there. Even if they'd done Ring Wraiths it would have been worth it! I'd have bought a set with Eight in to go with the three I already have! I hope this is maybe just the start of a Hobbit/LOTR line for them. Lele have been expanding their Hobbit/LOTR range and have Eagles with every figure in a new wave I think to go with their Goblin King. Edited October 22, 2014 by Robianco
gauz Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 The waiting game for orders from AE is no fun. Have 5 orders that I am waiting for.
jangosolo Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 The waiting game for orders from AE is no fun. Have 5 orders that I am waiting for. Yep! Still waiting for my batman set, taking ages! I've had other stuff come through which was ordered later. Ordered FF set from ebay and that came today in less than 2 weeks. It's not an exact science sadly.
Robianco Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 I won't tell you how much I sold the spare ZEA figures for...
jangosolo Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) I won't tell you how much I sold the spare ZEA figures for... Go on!! Loads I bet, just been combing ebay, there are no bargains on these sets now. Hang on - £15!!?? Gah! Right! It's time to strike! And use my UK location to my advantage! Edited October 22, 2014 by jangosolo
jangosolo Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) I did add the capes and the bats though! ;) I've been selling to break even or make a few quid, market is mostly swamped but there are still a few figs that aren't yet being sold on these shores so I might raise my price a bit on the remains of the FF set. Love the thing but he won't fit in my frames. Have considered cutting his back off though! Haha Prices definitely not as cheap as they were - sadly Edited October 22, 2014 by jangosolo
Tyberious Funk Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 I have the two Lele waves of LotR/Hobbit figures, and the quality on them is really bad. I wish I'd bought the minifig sets that came with a collection of Eagles/Wargs, so I could check out their quality. But c'est la vie. I'm not ordering anymore Lele stuff unit I hear reviews that say they've improved. SY stuff, on the other hand, has usually been top notch. So I'm all over this new LotR set. Ok, so 2 of the figures are horses... at $9 for 8 figures, that's only $1.15 each. Ignoring the horses for a moment, $9 for 6 figures is still only $1.50 per figure. I figure (no pun intended) that if SY make good sales out of this wave, they'll be inclined to make more waves and I can get my hands on a cheap Theoden, Ringwraith, Mouth of Sauron, etc
