I don't think you realize you just quoted a CROCODILE BOAT WITH A TAIL and called it less crazy than Ninjago.

Ninjago was crazy, but let's not try to call this Chima thing any less so.

I still think I like Ninjago better. The Samurai Mech is one of the best sets out this year, IMO. The new Ninjago doesn't look quite as good, though. Chima's got croc-boats and lion-tanks, so it's kind of a tossup for me which is weirder.

I think they might be lions and hawks/eagles/whatever.

Lemme tell ya 'bout your blood bamboo kid.
It ain't Coca-Cola, it's rice.
It's that time of year again, time to purge some Lego sets! I'm selling off all of the following:

Aliens:
7050 - Alien Defender
7051 - Tripod Invader

Castle:
7949 - Prison Carriage Rescue
7947 - Prison Tower Rescue
7187 - Escape from the Dragon's Prison

Batman:
30160 - Batman Jetski
6858 - Catwoman Catcycle City Chase
6857 - The Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape
6860 - The Batcave

Ninjago:
2509 - Earth Dragon Defense

Pirates:
6239 - Cannon Battle
6240 - Kraken Attackin'
6241 - Loot Island

Star Wars
8092 - Luke's Landspeeder
8089 - Hoth Wampa Cave
8017 - Darth Vader's TIE Fighter
7754 - Home One Mon Calimari Star Cruiser
8038 - The Battle of Endor

Atlantis
8057 - Wreck Raider
8061 - Gateway of the Squid

Indy
7625 - River Chase
7626 - Jungle Cutter
7682 - Shanghai Chase
7622 - Race for the Stolen Treasure
7199 - The Temple of Doom

Power Miners
8957 - Mine Mech

The above sets are all complete with instructions and stored in ziplock bags.

I also have 7946 - King's Castle, 7571 - The Fight for the Dagger, and 9473 - Mines of Moria. They are all still sealed in the box. I'm a little hesitant to ship them, because the boxes are huge. I'd be glad to ship them as is, but they might be pricey. I'd also be happy to ship them without the boxes, but still sealed in the original baggies.

The price on all of these sets is pretty flexible. I'd prefer to not take it sideways up the pooper on prices, but I'm aware that Bricklink exists and I don't expect anyone to pay eBay prices. So, long story short, make me an offer on any/all. The more you want, the lower I'm willing to go (I hate hate hate packing things up and taking them to the post office). Anything that doesn't sell here is going into a "best offer takes it away" Craigslist ad. PM me or email me at frictiony at yahoo.

edit: whoops, forgot that 30160 - Batman Jetski is still sealed in the original baggie.

There don't seem to be any humans at all in Chima. They're all little lions and hawks and stuff. That's a first, isn't it? I guess even Ninja Turtles will probably have April and Casey.

Ninjago was crazy, but let's not try to call this Chima thing any less so.

I think it's a cross between Ninjago and World Racers, so I dunno. The more I looked at the sets the less confident I was with my "less crazy" comment. I guess we'll see if there's a second line that combines a crane with a... snake guy...? (Seriously who thinks of martial arts action squads and then dumps a wrecking ball crane into it?)

It does look like its 'arms' and 'feet' are made of tinier boats, as well as a tiny boat on its back, along with two 'eye' cockpits.

Plus two little jetskis on the side. BOATMANIA.

You must not be familiar with Power Rangers.

Really I think that's what Ninjago and this new line are all about. Big ol' themed mecha and poo poo since Mega Bloks got the PR license.

So many kids are going to be crushed when they find out that it doesn't actually transform.

Or rather, it does, but the transformation sequence involves approximately 800 steps.

Is this an every order thing or just a mess up on their part? I was going to go to the Lego store to get both of these but if ordering online gets me the halloween set free I'd rather do that.

No idea - there wasn't any reference to the halloween set on the receipt or anywhere else (unlike the series 7 minifig, which had a little flier explaining that it was a freebee).

I wish they'd do another take on the AT-ST. The standard sized sets don't look very good, and don't even look like the AT-ST that much, and the UCS set is just ugly as hell with studs sticking out everywhere.

I wish more people would post their own creations here. That's why I subscribed to this thread in the first place.

Anyway, this is a crosspost from the Transformers thread where another goon posted his Legoformer, and I was inspired to actually photograph the one I built in June/July.

Imgur Album - Cyclops
I like to think of him as an Autobot search-and-rescue turned Decepticon search-and-destroy who is resentful that he has to transform to shoot anyone since in vehicle mode, his gun is pointed at his own head.

I would post my own creations but i dont have the imagination. Tried to make an F1 car on LDD but really didnt get anywhere.

So from now on I am going to stick with trying to complete my sets with the step by step instruction.

70703 Space Mantis
70704 Vermin Vaporizer
