ZionAzure Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 LEGO's response to my complaint about the super jumpers. Dear Victor, "Thanks for getting in touch with us. We're sorry to hear that you're unhappy about the design of your LEGO® set. We try really hard to make sure our toys are imaginative, creative, fun and last for ages! We have a team of experts in Denmark whose job it is to invent and test new LEGO sets, themes and toys. They tell me it takes years to check everything. They need to test all the new ideas, talk to the factory about how to make them, work out what sort of box it needs to go in and then deliver the new sets to all the shops in 130 countries! Listening to what LEGO fans have to say helps us get better and better so I'm going to pass your comments on to the team in charge of this area" I can't find my exact email i sent to them, but it basically said the design of the jumper scratched, and cracked the legs of cyborg and green arrow, and that its a struggle to put on, and take off the figures. Kinda surprised they didn't offer a replacement. My son is pretty upset about the damage don't to his figs :/ This is such a generic response. I hope that a real person will actually read this. Quote
RobLego Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Sorry, but I completely doubt everything that you said you got from your brother. All of that info we already have except for the price for the Harbor Chase and the Titans set, and the fig count for Jokerland, which will most likely be 6 or 7, not 7 or 8. You could have easily just guessed those three things. Additionally, you have, in the past, lied about seeing prelims about the 2015 Winter wave after Hulk_Smash saw them, and you confessed only when Hulk_Smash asked you personally, so I distrust you here as well. After weeks of seeing mostly inane comments, I feel compelled to say something: This may be the worst, most immature forum I've ever witnessed. Outside of credible comments by one quality source, just2good, it is mostly filled with bickering, whining about minutiae, and pointless speculation - as opposed to actually getting momentum behind things we all want to see from Lego in the future. The craziness is primarily the work of 3-4 individuals (2 of them are featured above). I will be participating much less going forward, and hope that the level of maturity in here will improve at least slightly over the next few weeks and months. And yes, I understand the irony of hoping for maturity when we're talking about adults discussing blocks... Quote
ZionAzure Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Simple solution... go somewhere else. Thebrickfan.com has updates from Just2good shortly after he reveals. No need to attack people. Where are the mods on this page? Quote
mattdev25 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 And why do you think it will 6-7 figures? We have never had a set this sized in the Super Heroes theme to have any indication of how many figures we will see. Plus, this year we saw a surprising amount of figures in the sets IMO, especially in the larger sets. Well, 2013's Arkham Asylum was $150 and has, if I'm not mistaken, 8 figs. So, this $100 set should have a little less like 6. After weeks of seeing mostly inane comments, I feel compelled to say something: This may be the worst, most immature forum I've ever witnessed.

I was debunking someone's most-likely-false theory. So, yes, please leave, if your hobby is to target innocent posters such as myself. Quote
psqidexslizer248 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Well, 2013's Arkham Asylum was $150 and has, if I'm not mistaken, 8 figs. So, this $100 set should have a little less like 6. Actually, it was $160, but anyway figure counts for Super Heroes seems to have gone up since then. In 2012, Hulk's Helicarrier Smash (I think I got that name right) had 4 figures and a bigfig for $50 and Gorilla Grodd goes Bananas has 5 figures and 1 bigfig for the same price. And just last year, we got 3 figures in the Riddler Chase for $30 and now we are getting 4 figures in Brainiac Attack for $25. We could very well see 6 figures in the Jokerland set; I just do not think we have enough information to make assumptions yet. Quote

This forum used to be more fun when i first joined(2012) I think its because the mods are less active and let way more pointless BS pass through than before. Mods actually kept things under control then. That's also the reason why i don't even post as much anymore. I love Eurobricks, its the very first LEGO forum i ever joined and pushed me back into LEGO, but now its page, after page, after page.....after page, of pointless speculation that's already been talked about soooo many times. Or the countless number of wishlist about movies that aren't even coming out in 2015?!?! If there's "no rumor" about something in 2015, then don't hope for, or speculate on something for 2015. plain and simple, yet "adults" on here find it too hard to get on their keyboards/phones and not post pointless crap over and over again. I'd rather watch a thread die, and wait util there's something meaningful to talk about, than see the exact same types of wishlist and pointless speculation every single day.

adotnamedstud Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) I think that we should just discuss the sets and are open for some mild speculation. Listing what you want is fine unless you straight up say that is what the set will be (I may be guilty). That's all that's sensible that we can do since the mods have said that since this forum is getting out of hand they may check for underaged users and deal with them. But that's none of our business and we are here to discuss some LEGO. Trust me, pointing out the flaws just makes it worse so let's keep it on topic. And to the people that say they know LEGO Employees. There have been so many of them that we can't tell which is true or not. So have some integrity and not try to get everyone all crazy over stuff. Anyways. There is DC items to be discussed! Again, highlighting FACTS of what we know about the Summer 2015 Wave (Again ) - Jokerland set that will be around 100 Euros - Batman Harbor Chase (The title is all we know.) - A set with Deathstroke, Starfire, and Beast Boy (Safe to assume it's a Teen Titans set.) - Trickster is coming in a movie or book. - Lightning Lad is coming in a Target block. (That's all we know.) Edited January 7, 2015 by NuffSaid1996 Quote

mattdev25 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Do we know its a Target block? Like is it confirmed to be only at Target? Seeing as the most recent cube was from Target, I think it's safe to say the second cube is also a Target exclusive. Quote
Super Goblin Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Why can't people just discuss things without being scolded. This is the only discussion board I have been a member of where so many people throw fits about people discussing things. Quote
BatZack Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Are you targeting me? If you call that comment whining, I don't even know what to tell you. I was debunking someone's most-likely-false theory. So, yes, please leave, if your hobby is to target innocent posters such as myself. My 'likely-false' theory was just that, a theory, there's no need to put my ideas down when you have equally 'likely false' theories. If you were as 'innocent' as you say, you wouldn't be rejecting everyone else's ideas and saying your the only ideas that count. Besides, nothing is confirmed until lego confirms it. So we won't know about the trickster minifigures whereabouts until it's confirmed. Quote

8BrickMario Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I must admit, I have noticed a decrease recently in quality and relevance in the posting here. Posting false rumors or baseless speculation does little for the majority of readers. And we do have enough to talk about: the current wave, Batzarro, Trickster, Lightning Lad and the three summer sets. But when people say their father's nephew's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate has info on the new sets, it's not believable or constructive. I like to read quality discussion here, but I still appreciate the majority of posters' behavior and discussion. Quote

And yes, I understand the irony of hoping for maturity when we're talking about adults discussing blocks... I just stick to looking at pictures of the sets and upcoming sets previews. But you forget that this is a Lego forum, you should expect responses from nearly every age, I agree, in this forum everyone speculates about sets, then get desperate of having them before release dates, take a few pictures once they have the sets in hand, start talking about the next wave of sets and what figures they think should be in them, it is a vicious cycle. It's all entertaining, but I do hate how the only updates on the main page are just contests and off the wall insane Lego projects. But I don't expect anything from anyone so, I just browse through. The licensed topic should be structured like the Start Wars one, and just have an index of reviews, current sets and guide. Edited January 7, 2015 by eldiano Quote
Robianco Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I think the modding has been done much lighter since the separation of the rumours threads into DC and Marvel. There's been a combined 330 or so pages of the 2015 Rumours and Discussions. Almost 200 of them with DC. Let's compare that with 140 pages of comment from the SW 2015 thread... something with more sets than DC/M Super Heroes combined. I agree that there's been quite a lot of content on the thread that previously wouldn't have been able to run without intervention from the mods... I think they're just trying to let people get on with it but if even the smallest flame war kicks up then I think their presence will be felt. We all want to hear about the sets... we all want to know what's coming... and discuss what we've had but I also think that the area of 'discussion' has become grey. Previously, total speculation about what an individual thinks might be in a set based on a possible set name wasn't really allowed... there was no rumour with a source to back it up... it became a kind of wish list of what people 'hoped' would be in a set. A trusted source, or a linkable source of any kind, has always been the basis of content to be discussed. I do also think that the age question comes into it. A forum that has a minimum age limit is created this way for a reason and I genuinely think that there are members of the forum who are way under that limit and sometimes this can show during the 'excitable' moments building up to a wave release.

Churchill Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I agree Robianco. This thread is completely different from how these used to run. I was following this mostly for availability of the sets, but now that I have them, this thread is a waste of time. Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to some Reviewer's Acadamy reviews of these sets to see what folks really think about them. Quote

I agree the modding has greatly fallen off and not just in superheroes but across all of eurobricks. While generally it's not a problem themes like superheroes seem to be turning into romper room. I fully understand the conversation is going to ebb and flow but we seem to have gone off the map and not returned. This is an adult forum not the junior high playground. There are appropriate places to discuss topics and it is dependent upon people to find them and if they don't exist create them. If you cannot grasp such a simple concept then maybe this is not the place for you. While some believe they should be freely allowed to talk about anything that pops into their head it has the effect of keeping other people away. People who wish to engage in a conversation and not have to read page after page of people complaining because TLG is not giving them exactly what they want and when they want it.

Captain Nemo Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 To be honest I cannot remember the levels of modding from this time or that time; only more specific instances where forums were temporarily benched. The problem we (apparently) have here is really just a lack of self accountability. It's first and foremost up to the user/poster to make sure their posts fit the topic; which seems to be the main problem here. The mods are not to blame for people who keep posting long wish lists and posts about trailers or posting "facts" acting as if hearsay is confirmed in stone (and then building more "facts" off that). None of that belongs here in the first place. The DC Rumors & Discussion thread is just that; for DC set rumors and discussion. People need to be self accountable for their posts. This is not the forum for wish lists (we do I fact have one of those somewhere; granted it's basically usless); people know that but post them anyways. This is not the forum for those "kinda of topic, yada yada yada" statements (if your typing that, it's an immediate red flag that the topic should not be here!--incidentilly just like this modding discussion which has no place in this forum whatsoever); people know that but post them anyways (kinda like I am, but that's not the point). What the point is, is, that as a community of posters we first and foremost must make sure we ourselves are actively working to follow the guidelines of the forums; especially in regards to what should be posted where. The mods are not the ones causing the problems here; it is we the community with the trouble posts and the best and most efficient way to stop this epidemic is by self accountability. Quote

Ideally I agree 100% with this. If this reflected reality we wouldn't have the problem we do nor would moderators be necessary. It's much like a ship that needs a captain, not to follow everyone around to make sure everyone is doing what they are supposed to. But to remind the crew of the mission when things start to get off track otherwise you end up running aground. This is especially true when new crew members come aboard. Quote
Krikkit Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Well, 2013's Arkham Asylum was $150 and has, if I'm not mistaken, 8 figs. So, this $100 set should have a little less like 6. 76026 had 5 minifigs and a Bigfig and cost only $50. Sorry - psqidexslizer248 said exactly the same thing. I can not see why the new set wouldn't and couldn't have a larger mini fig count. It is all based round the number of bricks in the remainder of the set. Quote
8BrickMario Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) I was playing LB3 and found one more piece of evidence toward Killer Croc's game design being official. He has a realistic jaw hinge, true, but when he falls apart, the jaw piece detaches, giving more support to the plausibility and realism of the design for a physical bigfig. I heard a while back that the Bumper Car was already available? Was that true, and has anyone seen it? Edited January 7, 2015 by 8BrickMario Quote
sologuy369 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Except this isn't a ship its a website where a bunch of adults talk about toys. Quote
