Great pics!

The Junkyard guys look better every time I see new pics! (^-^)b

I think now that I can see em clearly...

the only "weak designs" are SLUSHO & GURGGLE...

& I have a minor nitpick about TUNGSTER's tongue build (think it coulda used different pieces to flow better)

But man... now I'm really just sad we hafta wait so long to get our hands on all of these guys!

(Also, can't wait to see the MAXes...)

Got my last batch of Series 4 Mixels: Nurp Naut, Vampos, and Burnard.

I was quite surprised at how much I love Vampos. Really didn't care for him at first, but having him in hand... He's just so adorable. May even be my favorite Mixel out of them all.

I managed to pick up a load of the Mixels a day or two ago. I'm only missing one now, that being Globert as he wasn't in stock.

One of my favorites of this wave has to be Niksput, although I didn't expect it to be so from the beginning. He has great character and is different, looks good and has some good articulation too.

The Infernites' MAX is a lot lot better than the first wave's max too.

I'm not sure how many of you keep up with the show, but this seems as good a place to ask as any. The Mixels wiki seems to think that the planet the Mixels inhabit is called Mixel Land. Can anyone here confirm that it's been called that, as opposed to Mixel Land being a place on an unnamed planet?

The most recent episode has it confirmed as Planet Mixel. That probably means Mixel Land is a place there. Anyway, this can go in the TV series discussion in Culture & Multimedia.

Also, anyone know when the next series is coming out? Feels like it's been a while...

June, according to BZPower's NYTF article. The same article states Series 6 is out in October, which feels really far away (seems that LEGO are spacing out the Mixel releases further, considering last year we had waves in March, June and September, hence why it feels that it's been a while).

Just bought "Rokit" as my first Mixels purchase. It immediately became my last Mixels purchase too once I finished building it. The only good surprise was the Nixel that I wasn't expecting, and even then I hated that too.

Out of curiosity, what didn't you like?

I have just gotten Meltus and Flamzer, so my collection is complete as well, for now. I'm really looking forward to series 5, a lot of the designs look really solid.

Series 4 was mostly good, few flukes (Nurp-Naut and especially Meltus...). But also some really great ones, like Niksput and Vampos. I am a little disappointed that the new Nixels are so lacking in variety, though...The 2014 ones had much more creative builds. Which. I mean, it's thematically consistent for Nixels to be unimaginative, but still, it bugs me.

Anyway. I've been looking at the new old tribes (the new Infernites, Frosticons, Glorp Corp). And. I'm like, super aware this is just me being an obnoxious nitpicker, but I am rather bothered by the inconsistencies between the 2014 and 2015 tribes. Like, with the Glorp Corp--all three from 2014 had trans green cheese slopes somwhere on them. It was kind of a small tertiary color that helped unify them as a tribe. But, the 2015 ones on the other hand...Slusho has trans green wings so I guess he is excused, but the other two don't have anything and it really bothers me. I don't know if the trans green slopes they used last year were simply because trans fluor green ones weren't available (I believe they were also new for last year?), which would make sense since the new Glorp Corp do use a bunch of trans fluor green ones, but whatever the reason...it's annoying.

And Dribbal is a Niksput clone, that's also kind of a bother, I guess. At least the head is different though.

I have kind of the opposite problem with the new Infernites, which instead of dropping a color gained one...unlike the 2014 ones, which only used transparent parts for their specific fiery bits, the 2015 ones use trans bright orange ones all over the place as a tertiary color, just for the sake of having cooler (hotter?) color schemes. Which they do! They really actually look better with them than I think they would without them, but...still, consistency is an issue. I don't know.

Thankfully the Frosticons don't seem to have anything like that going on...

My son just started collecting Mixels last month. He adores them. Has all of the Spikels (Scorpi is his favorite), 1 Infernite, 1 Orbiton; and working on collecting the rest. He gets $5-$10 every two weeks for allowance (he's only 6), so that's only 2 Mixels per month. He's constantly making his own Mixels to fill the void. Plus, he's a huge Ninjago fan. I spend too much money on Lego, haha.

I'm not sure how well the Mixels were built before, but I feel some designs could use improvement. For $5 a piece though, can't really complain.

I'm really looking forward to the new Frosticons, mostly because I love Medium Azure and I could need some of the new parts to revamp my MOC Warhawk (I want to redesign his upper arms).

I guess they'll be released in Germany sometime around June, right?

Some clearer pics were posted on Brickset. I just noticed that Spugg's eyes are ball-jointed! And the Lixers use trans-orange tooth plates!

Ooh, the packaging for the Klinkers is really nice. Really selling the steampunk/junkyard aesthetic. Those guys are the ones I'm most looking forward to.

The new Lixer images make it much clearer where they use flame yellowish orange and where they use bright yellow. As I sort of feared, it's kind of a mess? Turg mainly uses orange, Tungster mostly uses yellow, Spugg is like, half and half. Spugg and Tungster at least seem to have some degree of color blocking going on, but I dunno about Turg, his yellows seem less coordinated. Kind of wish they were all mostly fl. yel. orange to differentiate them more from the Electroids but I guess it is what it is.

Also, from the first video we saw from Nuremberg since I thought they were all bright yellow I had thought Tungster would come with recolored fl. yel. orange wings, but obviously they're just bright orange. Slightly disappointing, if only because it's the only solid orange piece among the three of them. (trans bright orange wings would have been amazing, unrealistic as the idea is)
