Psycho Twi

Lena was my first 2001 set.... But I'm absolutely in love with Kopaka's new design.

I don't care how or if they tie the new story with the old, all I care about is if it will be good. The hype is REAL guys, it's been so long since I've cared about a story from Lego.

Something about that staff head is familiar... Ah well. Can't think of it now :/ Aside from that little bit, I love this drawing. Very different from how we usually have these character portrayed, but I think it works.

Opinion timeVillains:XT4: Doesn't impress me. Looks like he'd be a good source of parts and has an interesting design at best. Lowest on my list for the entire year.Voltix: Doesn't fare much better. Here, the design looks great, but the mix of colors is quite unappealing. If he had less yellow and blue, maybe I'd consider.Core Hunter: I genuinely love him. Best character in the villains roster for quite a while. He's rather simple, and yet cohesive. Speeda Demon: The character is cool, but not Core Hunter cool. Nice design over all. The real reason I want this set? The Bike. I missed out on Furno's bike, and this has caught my attention even more than that did.Heros:Nex: Could have been better. I like the pattern on his chest and the helmet, but the colors seem misplaced this time around.Stringer: I, for one, don't mind losing out on orange. It's found on Nex and Bulk after all. Anyway, I love the blue trimmings on this set almost as much as I love the guitar-esque launcher.Bulk: Unlike his previous incarnation, he lives up to his name. Maybe even more so than the original. I like the unique shoulder design and the use of gold.Stormer: A drastic improvement has been mad in terms of the larger sets with this one. His build is overall much more cohesively made than Rocka 2.0 or Fire Lord. (Black Phantom lies somewhere in between that...). Overall though, Stormer seems to be Lego's attempt at a new build for titans that fell short.

Must get Speeda Demon

Upon closer examination of Thornraxx, I realized he has only 3 "limbs": 2 "arms" and a tail. Just loving that detail Might make posing hard though...

At this point, I WILL get JawBlade, Toxic Reapa, Thornraxx, and Rocka. I MIGHT get the Black Phantom.

Epic story Mr.Farshtey, too bad it can't be made into a true canon story just yet.... P.S. Greg, can you maybe shed some light on why the set line was ending? unpopular to LEGO? not enough sales recently? what?
