Ninjago 2015

That's annoying. Why are 2014's sets so dear, but 2015's sets are so cheap? ;o;

Probably because they are literally smaller in size. Let's keep in mind that the Ninja DB X is going to be just about as long as the Ultra Sonic Raider is wide (without wings unfolded). Despite how spectacular it looks, it isn't that impressive in size.

Sorry for the double post, but:

I asked a Lego Store employee today if they were going to get Ninjago and Ultra Agents this January. The answer is no. (This is in the US, by the way).

If it at all validates it, the employee appeared to be consulting a list before they gave me an answer.

The wait for the new TV series just got a lot harder...

March 2015, here we come!

Darn, hope that doesn't apply over here. It *would* allow me to get some UA sets, though...

The first episode "The Invitation" is on Youtube! http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UynK-X6W6dI

The uploader recorded on a phone but it still is alright quality. The metal guy isn't called Hanlan, he is called Carloff (or Karloff). Also, it seems there WILL be a romantic relationship between Kai and Skylor. It is interesting that there are many different elements in it - Griffin Turner has the power of speed. It is unknown what power Skylor has, but when she touches Kai it appears she absorbed some power. Maybe "power absorption" is her power? The "cultists" seem to be thugs/henchman and Clouse sounds a bit like Squidward.

I already linked to that in Culture and Multimedia thread. Cartoon plot discussion goes there. Anyway, the episode is amazing. I wonder where PIXAL is?

[DarthLeapyous]

I wonder when the Anacondrai are going to make an appearance?

[Cagast]

Anacondrai that we see in the sets are proven to be snake forms of the cultists, probably when Pythor comes in and finds the way to transform them.

I knew his name ended with an f! "Karlof" or "Karlaf" looks a lot more like what we saw on that one box pic than "Hanlan".

I'm not going to watch that video, though, because I'd rather avoid full-episode spoilers before the episodes air in the United States.

[Cagast]

You can watch, it's in English. There are also HD videos.

In the ending credits it's Karloff with two f.

Invizible is an ancestor of the masters?!?!?!?

Yes, I know, but I just like to wait for the American television broadcasts. That way I can play my part in boosting the show's viewership ratings to ensure Cartoon Network continues to give it the respect it deserves. Unless I forget to watch them then and have to watch a recording, of course. It's probably a silly policy of mine, but it's one that I've done a good job sticking to so far.

Good to hear that there ARE good-quality recordings online, though.

[Meiko]

Someone should save those videos using one of the many YouTube downloading tools out there in case the videos get taken down per copyright policy.

[Peppermint_M]

Ahem:

Cartoon discussion goes in Culture and Multimedia.

Set discussion goes in here!

[Cagast]

That's what happens when somebody links to the new episode.

[obsidianheart]

I zoned out: Did we ever figure out what the missing Set Number went to?

[Mandate]

Short answer: Nope. Long(er) Answer: We're probably never going to hear of it again unless it's a D2C.

Is Griffin Turner and Hanlan are still villains?

His name is actually Karlof, not Hanlan. He's definitely an antagonist, but maybe not a villain. As far as I can tell, he and Griffin Turner are just some of the Ninja's opponents in the tournament, and judging from some of the book synopses we've seen, they might end up joining the Ninja at some point.

[legofanatic12]

There's some unknown Elemental Masters that I saw in the show such as a white-spiky haired guy, a guy with a red turban, and a brown bearded guy.

[LegendsOfNinjago]

the spiky white haired guys has the same symbol on his belt the Overlord has on his chest piece...

[Mandate]

No, they're highly similar down to the basic shape, but they're both different. "Smoker" (as I'm going to call that guy, seeing as we know his element) is hopefully going to appear in Wave 2.

[LegendsOfNinjago]

I'm pretty sure they're the same...

I would love to see Smoker...(I personally like Ash), but If Ninjago Wave 2 goes to Ronin, I don't think we'll see him. Polybag perhaps? He's just overall a great looking fig.

[obsidianheart]

Man, I just hope they make that figure so I can get my hands on multiples of his hairpiece.

[LegendsOfNinjago]

Same! That grey hair piece is awesome!
