News of the new sets is swarming across the studded landscape and here’s a bunch of what has caught my eye so far.
I’ve always had a soft spot for Ninjago, especially with it’s deep roots in LU, and it almost feels as if it’s hit it’s stride in this year’s lineup.
All thumbnails biggify to remote links, I recommend a hover zoom plugin though
Nice closeup of some of the wacky snakey elements. This ‘albino’ serpent seems to only be in one set? The helmets are in most, the shoulder gear is in a few. |
srsly liking that bone sword. I think that Samurai hair-do is in CMF line somewhere…. |
This is a pretty triumphant set, great combination of useful parts and unique, odd fig gear. |
closeup of these trans-yellow little critters, also trans-green toxic ‘legs’ |
Very classy looking ship, like many models in this series it has some interesting geared up play features |
freaky neat beast! |
I like everything about this set, I sensei it wu be in my collection in the future! |
Previously in the Bionicle Department….
Let’s cancel Bionicle!
Everyone loses their minds.
Let’s introduce Hero Factory!
Minds continue to be lost.
Let’s introduce a new torso assembly!
No one notices because they can’t find their minds.
Let’s bring back Bionicle!
Everyone finds their minds and rejoice!
Let’s use this new torso assembly for everything!
No one cares, they are just happy Bionicle is back.
Elements introduced in Chima are finding their way into new Bionicle, wonder which parts will leak out into System? |
mmm trans green… |
I wonder if this rib cage element will be showing up in other lines |
Lots of pretty interesting things happening in town this time around.
Big new boat part, and classic dingy in olive! |
Neat new grapple |
*snicker* it’s a really nicely made potty! |
The wrecking ball is cool but what grabbed me here was how the build was meant to be knocked down |
Chima….
Chima was kind of feeling like b-sides until I got to this bad boy |
Love the colours, parts and figs, this one is all win. |
Jurassic World sets revealed! Think they’ll make a game that will include the previous movies?
This is a yummy looking dino. Dino is thinking that’s a yummy looking human looks like. |
These hamster balls are hilarious. They fully look like they roll |
Pretty swish, wonder if it’s at all compatible with previous versions of pteranodons? |
This set looks deceptively small, you can see the figs on the left |
closeup of this freak, what a rock star |
|
- This is a very striking looking set. It’s like the Rancor pit with such a huge beast with a solid cage of bricks around it.
|
I’m pretty jacked about the new Elves line and a couple that weren’t shown in the previous mix are these two horse riddled curiousities
Beautiful sky castle! |
The keys look to be the widgety mcguffins in this line and this castle is rocking them all. Look a new owl too! |
This is the Friends and Disney Princess horse, but different mane. The different sets come with silver and gold wings. Such a cute lil dragon!! |
Close up of that bebe dragon rawr |
DC/Mixel/UltraAgents
|
shiny hawkman! |
Mixels are being weird as usual, I like how they are really theming them this time like with this steam punk ensemble |
I had skipped over most of the Agents line as either I am burning out or it’s like Chima and not as hard hitting, but this guy is just cronkers. |
Marvel is the it-girl of this year’s selection, so hot right now
sweet Ant-man helmet! |
so…. you think there is an Iron Man minifig in there? |
Hulk – light, prepared with olive oil. |
I had heard that the very hyped Avengers HeliCarrier had a bunch of ‘microfigs’ in it and had totally assumed it was the little Heroica game figures, turns out it’s…. those trophies introduced in CMF! Holy smokes the detail must be immaculate. I wonder if this will be a new scale they start doing more of, esp in SW |
We discussed the new Scooby sets in a previous post but here are a couple of surprises! Looks like Scooby comes in 2 different poses, sitting and standing?
ermager it is a hat, what goofy colours for that plane too |
Look at him. Just look at him. |
Fun little Egyptian misadventure, probably the easiest way to get standing Scoobs? |
You get Daphne in this one too along with MERMAN. I sure didn’t get a dozen of those little Monster Fighter sets, because that would be odd. Now what about that old ghost, is that a Hobbit hair piece or am I nuts. This is an IP taboo huh. |
So much StarWars…. With a couple of big announcements along with a bunch of stuff I have no idea what it is. StarWars Rebels is a show I haven’t seen yet so it’s a gap in my knowledge. Will have to get on that now that there is actual sets made huh!
Guessing this will be a fairly popular set |
Seems like a classic enough gunship design with wonderful new Wookies |
Pretty great paintjob! |
Gorgeous design from a great scene, this one is a knockout |
The little builds in the advent calendar are really so cute. What an adorable Sarlacc pit. |
- haha, well done. The antlers are… Ninjago helmet ornaments! Brilliant 🙂
|
If that wasn’t enough…. the big StarWars news is a new UCS TieFighter!
and a whole new line of big figures that have the Hero Factory/Bionicle torso assembly that was recently seen in the big DC and Chima figures as well. More about that in an upcoming post.
There’s more of course, including Minecraft and Mindstorms. Whew! That’s a lot of bricks.
