New sets discussion (2014/15/16/17)

[Gorthaff]

These Lego movie sets are quiet a bit of a letdown compared to the movie.

[Silent-sigfig]

I don't know what terrorist at Lego is responsible for this but the new ninjago and agents sets are available in places that aren't america.

speaking of ultra agents:

also ,stubby, is ultra agents supposed to be a continuation of LEGO agents from way back when? or somthing different?

[Bragallot]

So is this the end of the Lotr line? Even though most of it is far too pricey for me I'd like to see them continue it...

Talking about those sets being pricey, what's with these Bricklink sellers who have for instance the Helm's Deep set over 100 times? Do they just buy it everywhere to sell it for even more? Or are some of these Bricklink stores 'official' and able to buy directly from Lego?

What definitely doesn't sit right with me is guys buying the sets, removing the figs and then selling the figs at exorbitant prices.

Most of the time, I'd rather have the briks. Keep the damned figs if you want so much for them

Sexy. Especially those headgear pieces.

Nah, that's for suckers. More likely they just go to customer service and order the figs direct.

Weirdly, it looks like a continuation of Galaxy Squad instead:

SOLOMON BLAZE

The former pilot and wing commander, Solomon Blaze, was cherry-picked to head the Ultra Agents. His unfaltering determination inspires courage on the ground as it did in the air. After all, leadership is leadership.

Solomon Blaze was a pilot in Galaxy Squad.

That would make more sense (though I thought Lego only did this for missing pieces; And I've never had a missing minifig) however I have come across at least one seller who was selling sets without the figs and said he'd 'carefully removed them and resealed the set' in the description.

Series 14 of blindbags will be monstrous:



I like the not-zombies

[Kommander Ken]

Wow, I love the evil scientist and the rest of them look pretty nifty. Are these preliminary?

[Zahru II]

Well most of the new molds for CMF are made in Asia, so factory stolen I assume. Pics are from a Chinese auction site IIRC.

[devincp]

These are kind of meh in my opinion. Other than the zombie pirate maybe.

[Zahru II]

Looks like the wolfman is also the woodcutter from series 5, poor sod.

There are also a few spoopy dew images out in the wild too:
