Smitty Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 It's nice to see LEGO good guy that are unquestionably good. Quote At some point you realize that you are but a speck in the Universe. That you time in this worlds is but a blink. You see the whole of reality as it unfolds before you. You try to see how far you can reach, and it’s not that far past your face. But then you come back from the brink. You hold them in your arms again. And you know that you are where their world begins. You are their rock.

It does look very cool, I must say. Quote My Writing Blog (more writing coming soon!)

Gatanui Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 This looks great. The animations are fantastic, the upcoming Unity3D game and the mobile game look awesome and The lost art of Broomstickaditzu sounds very familiar. The games are fun, too. This looks like it´s going to be an enjoyable and unique theme! -Gata Quote - Gata Please don't use my avatar or signature without permission, thanks!

Lyichir Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 >bring back from the graveDoes that mean this toyline has existed in the past?No, it's just a pun. Because, ya know, zombies and vampires and whatever.I'd known this theme would be awesome, and this video just confirms it. I also like the characters as they're presented here; poor Dracula's bride can't get any attention.

Peach 00 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I believe Makuta_of_Oz is hoping that the toy-line existed in the past, so therefore BIONICLE has the slightest chance of coming back. If you haven't already seen what his thoughts on BIONICLE's death, you need to get to know him before you even step towards toy-lines coming back from the grave. :PIt does seem pretty cool, very interesting. Quote On the day the wall came down / They threw the locks onto the ground And with glasses high / We raised a cry / For freedom had arrived On the day the wall came down / The ship of fools had finally run aground Promises lit up the night / Like paper doves in flight I dreamed you had left my side / No warmth, not even pride remained And even though you needed me / It was clear that I could not do a thing for you Now life devalues day by day / As friends and neighbors turn away And there's a change that even with regret / Cannot be undone Now frontiers shift like desert sands / While nations wash their bloodied hands Of loyalty, of history / In shades of grey I woke to the sound of drums / The music played, the morning sun streamed in I turned and I looked at you / And all but the bitter residues slipped away slipped away...

Kumata Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) There was actually a Lego Studios line very similar to this; many of the sets were even the same. That's what this is 'bringing back from the grave' except they aren't movies anymore! Edited April 25, 2012 by Kumata Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devorath Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) I still think there is a portal going from The Monster Realm into Fabuland somewhere. Whoever reviews the werewolf set MUST note that it looks like something from Fabuland Edited April 25, 2012 by SillyCordak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toa Smoke Monster Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 This looks like it will be an interesting line. I particularly liked the video. I thought it was funny that the vampires didn't smile through any of the film. Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

Alyska Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 That's totally not the Batman logo on that rock there.

Even though I wish they'd named him a little more creatively...I think they are trying to avoid copy right infringement or being associated with something that they may find inappropriate for kids. I personally miss when Lego themes did not have stories. There were just the clear good guys and bad guys and a kids imagination.

I personally miss when Lego themes did not have stories. There were just the clear good guys and bad guys and a kids imagination.There are still themes like that. Look at Dino, which has no story but the character names that appear only on the website. Or at City, which still has no named characters.If you prefer themes with no character names at all, then you must be thinking back to an era earlier than I can remember, because even the themes I remember from the mid-90s had character names (if region-specific ones) in the LEGO Mania Magazines. And even before that the Pirates theme had characters like Captain Red Beard and Governor Broadside.

Cederak Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Yeah, I'm glad people brought up the old Lego Studios "scary" line or whatever. I really liked the vampire and Frankenstein sets from that, and this new line looks promising.-Ced Quote Cederak's Library l Blog: Fair Enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptah Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I can confirm Monster Alive sets in Southern California. I saw the Swamp Creature and Vampyre Castle in Chino, CA Toys'R'Us. It looks to have a similar quest set up as Atlantis. Each monster has a 'key'. Collecting all six unlock something. The Vampyre Caste (the largest set) has all the keys assembled in some device.

Dwanny Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 This line does show promise, but i cannot say so for sure until i see the sets. I will say that lego seemed to put a reasonable amount of effort into the mini movie, so what could go wrong?Looking forward to lots of cool designs, new pieces and monster minifigs. Lego, i salute you. Quote Find me over here! http://danielvangele.tumblr.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
