Borex Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Cute that every 2 or 3 pages someone starts this discussion over again. Is the new decool leaflet there yet?
Jeannehk2007 Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 I really really want a full Xmen line by decool or SY Please please!!
jokerjester Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 I really really want a full Xmen line by decool or SY Please please!! me too! I'm glad we already have Jim Lee Cyclops but I want the others as well.
Itaria No Shintaku Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Still to me seems like a big flaw. When they make eg. a bootleg juggernaut which is my favorire Marvel character still I won't buy it Because of three reason 1 He won't Fit. He is no lego. He is bootleg. 2 they didn't pay any homage to Marvel. They are just exploiting the success this character has. 3 no offence meant but i am an AFOL. Not an AFOM (fan of minifigures). Those bootleg also miss lego Philosophy. When you buy lego you buy a "leg godt" product. And this is not in any way such. After all there are people that would spoil a Ferrari by using non original replacement parts and people that would be horrified by that. Lego is the toys' Ferrari. As an AFOL my mocs contain only lego pieces and I find it Sad that other people buy bootlegs. The worst are the one buying bootlegs that already exists on this you surely have a point. But if my team is on Fifa and I cannot play it and I know that no money for the team Came from this third party. .. I use the in game editor and make it for mySelf. After all I do give a lot of money for my team.
jangosolo Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) Cute that every 2 or 3 pages someone starts this discussion over again. Is the new decool leaflet there yet? Must be due to the fact there is seemingly no new news on anything! Booo! The tedious competition to be the bestest Lego Superfan is very tiring, yes we all support Lego, yes Bootlegs are available and a lot of them are very very good, giving us collectors more options - whats not to like? Lego has the power to do something, they chose not to. Funnily enough, one of my auctions on ebay was removed yesterday, seemingly on the request of a Legal Company representing Lego. What was it? Was it one of my customs? Perhaps some clearly marked spare Bootlegs? Nope. It was a shoebox full of mixed bricks, Kreo, Megabloks and some random rubbish, on for a bargain price of £6 shipped - in which I mentioned you could use them with your lego. A quick glance at ebay showed that the bootleg minifig auctions were all still up and healthy. Priorities eh! EDIT Hmm interesting... I see large rafts of Custom Figures sold in the UK have been removed. Very interesting indeed - don't use the word Lego it seems! Edited October 24, 2014 by jangosolo
Robianco Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 eBay will pull auctions at the request of anyone. If you're a small seller the chances are it will be pulled without question. I had an auction ended by someone who simply wanted me to stop selling something even though it was clearly labelled as it was a cheaper alternative to the items he was selling (not figures by the way) so after several friendly messages to me warning me about selling them he reported me to eBay. Funnily enough he didn't sell his items either as they were vastly overpriced. 3 no offence meant but i am an AFOL. Not an AFOM (fan of minifigures). Lego offers people so much as a toy. It's always been about the bricks to me... only recently have the minifigures actually taken any prominence. It's this flexibility that help make it number one. Any build I have is genuine Lego bricks. There's no substitute. But the creation of the CMF line shows that Lego are perfectly aware of the appeal of minifigures... and with that people want more. As I've said previously if Lego made these then we'd all buy from them. Some people don't care for minifigures at all... and others are more focused on those than the actual builds. To each their own.
Itaria No Shintaku Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Actually I won't get tired in repeating that "if tlg had something against those it would have done something" is not a valid argument. Lego lost the patent over minifigures the only one that can do something are the buyers by choosing to praise lego via buying original stuff only. Nuff said. Im over.
summicron Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 ... Nuff said. Im over. Keep away from this thread if it annoys you so much.
Itaria No Shintaku Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Keep away from this thread if it annoys you so much. This is the worst attitude one can have. If you don't like something, you stand for it. I didn't offend anyone, I just expressed my opinion. I see a lot of fans of minifigures and a few of LEGO fans here, this is undeniable. Being a fan just of the minifigure itself is no shame, if you perceive it this way, it's your problem not mine. The topic says clearly: "worth or not?" and my reply was "I won't spent even a cent on non-lego minifigures". I simply replied the topic's question. Sorry I can't do anything about that, when I see those they remind me stuff like: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: Bye!

I'll respectfully disagree with likening that wonderful Hulk figure with the quality of some of the bootlegs though. That is indeed a lovely Hulk figure!

Of course it was done on purpose to exagerate!
tkkim79 Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) here's new decool lineup!!! new league of legend character and heroes figure!!! 0185 is it dark knight version catwoman? Edited October 25, 2014 by tkkim79
Robianco Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) Yeah... looks like they've copied Christo's Dark Knight Catwoman and there are the 2 new Batman. At least we'll get the double sided head to mix and match with the SY version of ZEA. Interested to see if the Decool has slightly more accurate printing and the correct back design. I'd much prefer the other Batman there to be the earlier SDCC rather than just the Tumbler version. Edited October 24, 2014 by Robianco
summicron Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Thanks for the snapshot of Decool's new lineup. I'm glad and lets hope we're back to checking out bootlegs.
Sabbath Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Storm's hair is going to be brilliant for customs. Pure white base, you can turn it into anything you want relatively easy!
jangosolo Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Ahh, back to business! Defo be picking up a Storm, and possibly a Hathwoman. I still think the original Magneto was the best one though
Brickmamba Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Yeah... looks like they've copied Christo's Dark Knight Catwoman and there are the 2 new Batman.

I'd much prefer the other Batman there to be the earlier SDCC rather than just the Tumbler version. And maybe the Cape is the right shade of purple
pmptstc1 Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) Excellent! I don't have to worry about picking up SY's sentinel set to get storm and that wolverine headpiece. Where is that Cyclops, though? Also, does anyone have the GotG figures in hand to confirm drax has printed arms? Edited October 24, 2014 by pmptstc1

Where is that Cyclops, though? Also, does anyone have the GotG figures in hand to confirm drax has printed arms? I do - they have just arrived, He does indeed have printed arms. He has back printing on his back and head too - looks pretty good - will take a look at the rest and report back shortly That was pretty fast - still waiting for ZEA Batman - that was ordered a good while ago now. bah! Though (still trying to get to grips with the Aliexpress website) its seems that the tracking info shows that GOTC went from the Outward Office of Exchange on the 17th and arrived here on the 24th - ZEA did that on the 21st, so I've got at least another week. Weird... EDIT - GOTC Review Still got same leg connectors, but overall they've done a great job, printing is superb - Drax in particular - its ever so slightly less sharp in places, but I am not complaining. Probably the worst is Starlord, he's not particularly bad, but the mask isn't quite right, looks like he's got sad eyes! Some of the print has spilled into his hair too. The rest - brilliant, just also realised that Nebula has a pearl Silver arm which delighted me until I realised that Cyborg needs the left one. Darn. Accessorieswise, apart from those with swords. daggers and hand pistols (all very good) - Ronan and Rocket seem to have the wrong bricks, you'll get by, but they are clearly the wrong ones (a swap of a brick will fix Ronan though) Edited October 24, 2014 by jangosolo
Sabbath Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Custom/MOC idea for someone with more skill than I: Deacon Frost (from Blade) Blood God mode. Could look awesome done right!
jangosolo Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) Check out my flickr feed for a Drax Comparison (see sig) Really good, but I think the face is a bit too heavy, though if I had never seen the other one, I wouldn't be that fussed Edited October 24, 2014 by jangosolo
Borex Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 here's new decool lineup!!! new league of legend character and heroes figure!!! 0185 is it dark knight version catwoman? Hmmm... not feeling this wave again. Where are the spiderwomans, the daredevils, the doctor stranges and so on. These are figs we already have :-(
