dadiomouse Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 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...) Quote
Kalhiki Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 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. Quote
Mutant Orc Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 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. Quote
TalonCard Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 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? TC Quote

That probably means Mixel Land is a place there. Anyway, this can go in the TV series discussion in Culture & Multimedia. Quote

8BrickMario Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) Maxes for Lixers, Frosticons 2, and Clinkers! Edited April 9, 2015 by 8BrickMario Quote
Kalhiki Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Maxes for Lixers, Frosticons 2, and Clinkers! They look awesome! The Frostions are probably my favorite max (barrel chest!). Also, anyone know when the next series is coming out? Feels like it's been a while... Quote
TheOneVeyronian Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 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).

GoldenChi Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) Looks like Frosticon 2 Max has flick-fire missiles stored in its palms. Edited April 9, 2015 by GoldenChi Quote
Boogly22238 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) LEGO downloads so early and still no CN website update..lol. One of the Mixes http://prntscr.com/6s10eo Edited April 10, 2015 by Boogly22238 Quote
Mandate Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) 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. Edited April 14, 2015 by Mandate Quote

Mutant Orc Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Bought the last Mixel I needed on Sunday, so now I'm just waiting on the new series! :) Quote

barnstench fartface Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 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... Quote
8BrickMario Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Slusho is an even bigger Flurr clone. I think they really could have tried harder to make them look different. Quote
OmShanti Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 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. Quote
ZORK64 Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 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? Quote
8BrickMario Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) 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! Edited April 22, 2015 by 8BrickMario Quote
TheBrickPal Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 We have bag images! No link? http://mixels.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Derekis/I_FOUND_SERIES_5_MIXELS_PACKAGES Quote
ZootyCutie Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 I've got this, too! Not only were Series 5 bags unearthed, SO were Series 6! http://mixels.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:ZootyCutie/SERIES_6_BAGS!!! Quote
barnstench fartface Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) 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) Edited April 24, 2015 by barnstench fartface Quote
